During the 61st day of the murder trial of Altantuya Shaariibuu, Maxis administrative executive Regina Arokiam said that phone number 0129042042 which was allegedly used by political analyst Abdul Razak Abdullah Baginda to contact Chief Inspector Azilah Hadri, was registered under the name of TV3 newscaster Izwan Azir Saleh.

34-year-old Regina from the security division of the mobile telecommunications company said the number was a prepaid number and the details of the owner was retrieved from the company database.

Previously Maxis chief engineer from the billing division Goh Peng Chew said the same number was used by Razak to contact Azilah between 18 and 21 October 2006. Goh also pointed out calls and short messages were made between Razak and Balasubramaniam, Balasubramaniam and Altantuya, Azilah and Sirul Azhar.

Goh told the court that the logs’ integrity were not compromised and that the logs do not necessarily indicate that the receiver heard the caller.

Several raids by the Domestic Trade and Consumers Affairs (DTCA) department this week resulted in more than RM20 million worth of illegal disc manufacturing machines and DVDs seized. Four men aged between 25 and 65 years were arrested under Section 4 of the Optical Disc Act 2000.

On Tuesday, DTCA officers and 15 policemen raided a factory along Jalan Paloh and seized 14 machines and 3,000 discs worth RM14 million. Another factory in the same area was raided on Friday where five more machines were seized.

Authorities also found a truck full of machines in a secluded area in Paloh. They believe that they have smashed a piracy syndicate in the area with these raids.
