Altantuya poser: 'She got visa for France in KL'
Can a Mongolian national be issued a visa to enter France while in Malaysia? The answer is no, says a Foreign Ministry official from Mongolia.
The official who was in Malaysia with Setev Shaariibuu (below),
the father of the murdered translator Altantuya, said Mongolians must
apply for, and obtain, foreign visas in their own country, not abroad. Also, the official was puzzled that Altantuya Shaariibuu obtained such a visa when in Malaysia
- about one or two years before she was brutally killed.
The officer, who did not want to be named, told Malaysiakini, "There is no way anyone of us can get a visa while in another country.
We will be told to return to our country to apply for it."

At a meeting with human rights group Suaram on Monday, Setev had
expressed bewilderment that his daughter's visa to enter France had been
issued in Malaysia and said in the presence
of Suaram activists, including its director Cynthia Gabriel, "Altantuya told me that she had obtained the visa and would be
travelling to Germany before going to France."
Setev claimed that his
daughter told him that Razak (Altantuya's companion - political analyst
Abdul Razak Baginda) had requested the assistance of Prime Minister
Najib Abdul Razak (then deputy prime minister and defence minister), and
she was issued a visa under the name Amina Abdullah.Setev added, "All these happened sometime between 2004 and 2005, before her death in 2006."
