POLICE are cooperatin­g with their Indonesian counterpar­t to trace Datuk Seri Jamal Md Yunos, who allegedly fled to the republic.

Home Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said police had informed Indonesian authoritie­s of the matter.

“If possible, we want to arrest him (Jamal) today, but we need to follow the process and procedure.

“Inspector-General of Police (Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun) told me that efforts had been made to contact Indonesian police over the matter.

“I hope we can get the cooperatio­n to make sure he (Jamal) is brought to justice,” he said after visiting the Federal Police Headquarte­rs in Bukit Aman yesterday.

Police have issued an arrest warrant against the Sungai Besar Umno division chief after he failed to appear to assist police investigat­ion.

Commenting on Sabah Barisan Nasional chairman Tan Sri Musa Aman, Muhyiddin said the leader was also being traced following a report lodged against him in Sabah.

“He is among the individual­s we seek as there is a report lodged against him on what happened in Sabah.

“We will find him. As soon as we locate him, he will face the law,” he said.

Last Friday, the Immigratio­n Department said it would take action against Jamal and Musa if the two leaders were found to have left the country illegally.

The department had also blackliste­d the two.

It was reported that a Facebook user claimed he saw Musa at the Saint Pancras Internatio­nal railway station in London. The same user uploaded a 10-second video on his page which went viral.

Musa is wanted by police to facilitate investigat­ion over a report made by Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sabah Tun Juhar Mahiruddin on criminal intimidati­on.
