Police might seek Interpol’s help to trace RPK

May 26, 2009

KUALA LUMPUR, 26 May 2009: Police will seek Interpol’s help if needed to track down Malaysia-Today editor Raja Petra Raja Kamarudin.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said the court had issued a warrant of arrest for him and the police were tracing his whereabouts.  

“We will cooperate with our counterparts’ to track him down but if necessary, we will ask for Interpol’s help,” he told Bernama.

It is understood Raja Petra is now in Brisbane, Australia. However, Musa said this had not been ascertained yet.

The Petaling Jaya Sessions Court today issued a second warrant of arrest for him after the failed to appear in court for his criminal defamation trial.

The first was issued on 23 April when he first did not show up in court.

Raja Petra is charged with defaming Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, the wife Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, and two others. — Bernama

    It is a good move to get the help of Interpol to trace RPK. I would also strongly recommend that the government gets Interpol’s help to trace the real killer behind the murdering or blasting of Altantuya. Help us, Interpol, to trace the missing link.

    “Action is taken within the limits of existing laws in different countries and in the spirit of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Interpol’s constitution prohibits ‘any intervention or activities of a political, military, religious or racial character.’ ” (http://www.interpol.int/Public/ICPO/default.asp)

    I have misplaced my 1BLACKMalaysia underwear last week. Can I get the Interpol to locate it?

    Bala’s in Thailand. RPK’s in Brisbane. Why the hell bother Interpol in looking for them?

    We have an extradition treaty with both governments. So if the government really wanted to bring both of them back, do it.

    As for the murder of said female Mongolian interpreter and mediator (she wasn’t just a model), I’m pretty sure “the penguin” had a hand in it.

    The police or IGP should seek “help” from God if they claim that they “believe” in God.

    Interpol tracks down criminals. RPK is a political refugee. How much will our govt be paying Interpol for their services?
