(NST) - Fugitive blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin’s location has been confirmed by Malaysian police.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said the Malaysia Today website editor, popularly known as RPK, was currently hiding in London.“Our intelligence reports have confirmed that RPK is in London, but we have yet to confirm his exact location,” he said in an interview with the New Straits Times.
However, Musa said he could not verify if Raja Petra was staying at the posh Trinity Court apartment in Gloucester, Bayswater, in London, as reported by the media.
He said Malaysian police have sought the help of their British counterparts to bring Raja Petra back.
“The British courts might call for an inquiry and request the relevant documentation to support the extradition process before making a decision,” Musa said, adding that the police were also working with the Attorney-General’s Chambers in preparing the documents.
Musa also advised Raja Petra to return to Malaysia of his own accord.
“If you’re not guilty then come back and defend yourself. Why should you hide in another country?
He is a bankrupt and we believe he must have used a false passport to leave the country,” he said.
On the recent allegation that a person or organisation was sponsoring Raja Petra in London, Musa said police would investigate the claim.
A source familiar with the investigations said there had been no movement of money from Malaysia to Raja Petra’s account.
Raja Petra, 59, disappeared after two arrest warrants were issued against him for failing to attend court in April and May. He had claimed on his website to be in a self-imposed exile.
Since then, rumours in the Malaysian blogosphere have variously pointed at Raja Petra’s location to be in Thailand, Australia and, most recently, the United Kingdom.
Last week, Musa said the government would seek an extradition order for Raja Petra upon confirmation by the British authorities of the wanted blogger’s location in the UK.
In postings in several sociopolitical blogs and media reports over the week, Raja Petra is said to be hiding at the posh Trinity Court apartment in London.
Many blog postings have criticised him for running away from the law and seeking refuge in other countries.
It is learnt that Malaysia does not have an extradition treaty with the UK.
The Malaysian authorities will have to apply for the return of Raja Petra through provisions under the UK law.
Raja Petra, through his Malaysia Today portal, has been attacking Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s administration.
Last year, Raja Petra was detained under the Internal Security Act but he was subsequently freed.

told you PIG was just posturing for the MSM and maybe to pacify Najib that something is being done. Now the equally obnoxious AG says we don't have an extradition agreement with UK. So let's get the papers going okay. By which time we will be able to extradite Razak baginda and all the other runaway criminals and their childrten when BN falls in the next GE.
RPK, you might just have started something which we all malaysians are eagerly waiting for. A formalisation of extradition agreement between malaysia and UK. So that real criminals and would be criminals could be hauled back to face the courts. For starters corruption is a crime in UK, so no problem in extraditing you know who or whoever in the future. We need to be able to freeze and seize assets. Oh boy IGP-PIG, this is getting really interesting. Talk cock some morelah.

This is one way to bring to the attention of the powers to be upfront regarding the seriousness of the SD, that ii is a legal piece of document sworn under oath and liable for perjury penalty.
IGP must address this issue before talking about extraditing RPK, otherwise it is perceived that his action is tantamount to vengeful retaliation.

The British court would not be passing information obtained without hearing the case. So RPK will have a chance to explain the case to the court in UK as he had said in his blog. The world will know the truth. That is why he should only brought back after he had his say in British court, and that the British court decides to send him back, on UK account.
It is because he would be declared quilty if he appears in Malaysian court that he should not return voluntarily. He is smarter than the IGP, and he would be too smart for IGP to fall to the dare.

Our intelligence reports have confirmed that RPK is in London
Wow how nice if they could use their intelligence to find Nurin's murderer or find missing Sharlini?

GFY!
From the report, I see alot of 'not-confirmed' and 'can't verifiy' all over it.
So basically you have NADT - Not A Damn Thing! lol
We're proud to be with RPK!

Confirm in London but not sure if at Trinity Court Apartments.
Come on IGP, the world is reading what you are saying; have some sense and pride in what you say.

And even if they are not, then a 'tip-off' to the local police will get them rushing over to detain these 'terrorists' especially when the whole world is so edgy still over the terrorism threat. Now that would be a strategy for you guys .......
But Malaysia is not too concerned with terrorists. The Malaysian govt is only interested in detaining anti-corruption activist, RPK. Now what a distinguish thing to tell Obama! President Obama and the British Premier will probably tell our igp go suck an egg, if he does have the stupidity to ask for Interpol's help.

Don't you think that it's dangerous to come back when citizens start dying under custody or detention ................ like Koogan and Teo Beng Hawk and many others ? ?
And what can you do to guarantee his safety when your criminal bosses, Najis C4 and Rospukimah want RPK nailed to the wall ?
Plainly, just shut the fcuk up, slave dog !

But, perhaps that shi**y paper is telling their version of truth, of course in UMNOPutras blogs RPK will be criticised!!
That musang chap made it as if he's right at the heels of some great, world wanted terrorist!!
But Malaysians with the welfare of RPK close to their hearts know better!!!

"How come your intelligence unit is not forthcoming in a transparent, true and honest manner to ascertain the true killers of -
a.Altantuya (the party/parties who directed the hit)
b. Teoh Beng Hock who died in MACC custody
c. Kugan who died in Police custody?"
Cold-blooded murderers get away scott free in Malaysia. A blogger is chased high and low in Malaysia. Readers can come to their own conclusion to read their agenda
