flag Malaysia's top court dismisses family's lawsuit over 2006 murder, upholds reduced damages against former lover.

flag The Malaysian Court of Appeal has dismissed the family's civil lawsuit against the government in the 2006 murder of Mongolian woman Altantuya Shaariibuu, clearing the state of liability while upholding a previous ruling that her former lover, Abdul Razak Baginda, must pay RM1.38 million in damages. flag The decision, delivered on January 20, 2026, reduces the original RM5 million award and rules that the two convicted officers acted outside official duties. flag The family plans to appeal to the Federal Court, emphasizing their pursuit of truth and accountability. flag The case remains linked to former Prime Minister Najib Razak, whose alleged involvement was cited in a sworn affidavit by one of the convicted officers, though Najib denies any role and was not charged.
