Abdul Razak Abdullah Malim Baginda (born 6 February 1960) is a Malaysian former political analyst, and close associate of former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak. He came to public notice in 2006 when he was charged with abetting the murder of Shaariibuugiin Altantuyaa, his girlfriend from Mongolia. He was acquitted on October 31, 2008, when the Malaysian High Court judge found no prima facie case against him.[2] He continued writing while in prison, where he was remanded in custody. He has since published a book on foreign affairs that was started during his incarceration.
