Cops will extradite RPK if he is in London

nspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan says the government will seek an extradition order for Raja Petra Kamarudin if the fugitive blogger is found to be living in London.

Utusan Malaysia reported the IGP as saying that the police would seek more information from their British counterparts on the matter.

The daily had reported that Raja Petra is currently taking refuge at Trinity Court apartment in Gloucester, Bayswater in London but did reveal how it got the information.

''We are going to investigate the reports by Mingguan Malaysia and ask for help from Interpol and the British government.

''If he (Raja Petra) is there, we will ask the help of the British government to get an extradition order because he must attend his court hearing,'' Musa told Utusan.

The controversial blogger disappeared when he failed to turn up in court for his sedition trial on April 23 because of what he says on his blog was his "self-imposed exile" from Selangor.

However, the police have not been able to track Raja Petra since and the blogger has been said to be in neighbouring countries including Melbourne, Australia.

Raja Petra has been a thorn in Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s administration, especially after the recent allegations made by P. Balasubramaniam.

In an interview on his Malaysia-Today.net news portal, the missing private investigator claimed that Najib’s architect brother was allegedly involved in the private investigator’s disappearance and a claimed payoff for his silence in the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder case.

Raja Petra has used his blog to make unrelenting attacks against Najib and his wife, accusing them of involvement in the murder of Altantuya, the Mongolian lover of the PM’s associate Abdul Razak Baginda.

He is accused of publishing the article “Let’s send the Altantuya murderers to hell” on his website.

Raja Petra was detained under the Internal Security Act last year but a court subsequently freed him.

The influential blogger also claimed he would not get a fair trial.

actually he is staying in London Hotel, in Ipoh... but our utusan ppl think since the word London is there, so he must be in London itself... he he he

Instead of getting to the truth in Bala's SD, or to investigate the death of TBH, resources are being used to arrest RPK who have not stolen a single cent, link to murder or even hurt a fly. Just goes to show the length certain quarter will do to protect the elite and themselves


Hey Musang,

Raja Petra Kamaruddin is not in hiding, you fool. He is taking refuge from the corrupt system in the country which you happen to lead. Again, Raja Petra Kamaruddin is taking refuge while planning to overthrow the entire corrupt and now rotting machinery of BN. You and the crooks would soon be the hunted and thats when we will see you HIDING like all the other thieves. Raja Petra Kamaruddin is a brave, honest and dignified human unlike the police who have now become the thieves.
