00:00Najib Razak reiterated in the Shah Alam High Court today that he never met Mongolian interpreter
00:07Ahtantuya Sharibu.
00:09He also denied giving instructions to two former policemen, Azila Hadri and Cyril Azhar
00:14Umar, to kill Ahtantuya.
00:17Najib said he had taken a solemn oath, also known as a Sumpah Latnat at Masjid Jameh in
00:222019, in which he denied directing anyone to kill Ahtantuya.
00:27However, he admitted to knowing Abdul Razak Baginda, a defense analyst involved in a multi-billion
00:32dollar deal to purchase two submarines for the nation's defense.
00:36Najib said Ahtantuya did not take part in the negotiations of the purchase, but he later
00:41discovered that Razak and her were in a romantic relationship.
00:45Najib was testifying in his libel suit against former Attorney General Tommy Thomas, whose
00:50book has been accused of being defamatory.
00:53Najib said a large number of readers would easily identify him as the person criminally
00:57linked to Ahtantuya's murder by reading the impugned statements in Chapter 42 of the book.
