Questions remain on Jamal’s ‘disappearance’
The ‘disappearance’ of Sungai Besar Umno Division chief Datuk Seri Jamal Md Yunos over the past five days remains a question after he did not show up once again to complete his bail process.
In a voice recording released to the media on Tuesday, Jamal claimed that he would be present at the Ampang Jaya District Police ( IPD) headquarters yesterday to wrap up the process.
However, attempts by reporters who waited outside the Ampang Jaya IPD for more than two hours to interview him, was futile.
Meanwhile, Jamal’s lawyer Datuk Mohd Imran Tamrin said he was still in the dark over the man’s whereabouts.
“I have received the voice recording which I’m sure all the media ( personnel) got the same information.Our attempts to contact him were still not fruitful as at 3.30pm.
“The last time I got in touch with him was three days ago, and we (a team of lawyers) will give our full cooperation (to the police) to solve this matter,” he said.
Mohd Imran also said that he left it to the police to decide whether or not to arrest Jamal, if the latter failed resolve the matter as soon as possible. Jamal was reported to be missing from his bed at the Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital here on Friday after he was charged there with committing public nuisance by breaking bottles of alcohol in public to protest the Better Beer Festival 2017 in Bangunan Darul Ehsan in Shah Alam at 10.15am on Oct 5, 2017.
His disappearance was realised by the Shah Alam Court Assistant Registrar who was handling his bail process about 5.30pm. — Bernama
