He's now Dr Abdul Razak Baginda - Malaysiakini

Jun 11, 09 8:00pm

Political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda has finally got his doctorate degree in international relations from Oxford University.

The man who was charged, and later acquitted, for abetment in the murder of his Mongolian lover, Altantuya Shaariibuu, has been awarded a doctorate of philosophy after a long delay due to his incarceration.

With that, he is now called Dr Abdul Razak and he plans to continue his research in international relations.

The former confidant of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak is also writing a book about his life, in particular his 22-month ordeal in Sungai Buloh prison where he was held during the trial.

Abdul Razak, 49, told Bernama that he submitted his doctorate dissertation three years ago but the university put it on hold after his arrest two months later.

“When I was acquitted and released from prison on Oct 31 last year, I wrote back to the university, they revived the whole process and early this year they told me that I had passed and been awarded the Doctorate of Philosophy (Dphil).”
