PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad should reopen the murder case of Altantuya Shariibuu, said Mongolia's President Khaltmaagiin Battulga. “As the President of Mongolia, I pay special attention to the grave crime committed in Malaysia on Oct 18, 2006 - the murder of Ms Shariibuu Altantuya, a Mongolian national and a mother of two children," he added. Battulga also congratulated Dr Mahathir for being sworn in again as Prime Minister, saying that under his previous tenure, Malaysia developed intensively and that its reputation in the regional and international arena strengthened tremendously. “I am confident that Your Excellency will extend valuable support in restoring and activating the traditionally friendly relations between Mongolia and Malaysia as well as strengthening the people-to-people ties,” he said.
