Mongolia considers re-establishing Embassy in Malaysia

It has been seven years since Mongolia has not had an ambassador to Malaysia. The position was suspended after an incident where a citizen of Mongolia, Sh.Altantuya, was brutally murdered in Malaysia and involvement with Malaysian politicians was suspected.

At the moment Mongolians in Malaysia approach the Ambassador from Mongolia to Thailand if any problem does arise.

The Government of Mongolia is considering appointing an ambassador to Malaysia next year because it is necessary to pay attention to almost one thousand Mongolians in Malaysia.

The Director of the Consular Department of Mongolia"s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sh.Sukhbaatar, has returned from a mission to review the issue in Malaysia.

Sh.Sukhbaatar met Karpal Singh, the attorney for the murdered Mongolian woman, Sh.Altantuya, seeking support on the murder case to be resolved by fair justice and to urge for a legal procedure on the claim of murder case by her father. Sh.Sukhbaatar also asked for help in finding humanitarian assistance for her two orphan children and to return her body on the request of her family.

The attorney for the murdered Mongolian woman, Karpal Singh, said that “the wo ex-police officers who are suspected for the murder appealed against the Court decision so the progress is slow. Therefore the claim submitted by the father of the murdered Mongolian woman is being prolonged.”

He also said that the humanitarian assistance for her two orphan children could be applied for via non-profit organizations. He promised to arrange the return of her body to her family on his own.

A citizen of Mongolia, Altantuya Shaariibuu, is suspected of being murdered by two former bodyguards of Prime Minister Najib Razak in 2006. The reason for her murder was believed to be caused by a submarine deal between the Malaysian Government and a French company specializing in military goods.
