KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian authorities have asked London police to help them track down fugitive blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said today police believed the blogger for Malaysia Today was “still in hiding in London.”
Speaking to Bernama here, he said Raja Petra should surrender because seeking his extradition would “take too long.”
In his latest posting, the blogger, popularly known by his initials RPK, once again taunts the police, saying it is beyond the mental capacity of Malaysian police to figure out how he got out of Malaysia, what passport he used and where he is.
Instead, he says, they should get cracking on a police report filed in July 2008 by Americk Siddhu, lawyer for private investigator P. Balasubramaniam.
Siddhu asked for an investigation to be carried out to “ascertain the person and or persons who unlawfully caused the said Mr Balasubramaniam a/l Perumal to state that the … Statutory Declaration dated 01.07.2008, which was made in my presence, was made under duress. I believe the offence of criminal conspiracy to cause criminal defamation would have been committed by this and/or these persons.”
In the statutory declaration referred to, Bala alleges that Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak had a relationship with Altantuya Shaariibu, the Mongolian beauty who was murdered in 2006.
