Criticisms against cops over Raja Petra issue unfair, says Hisham

KUALA LUMPUR: Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein has fended off complaints about the police for not apprehending fugitive blogger Raja Petra Raja Kamaruddin, saying the critics had been unfair.
“Do you want the police to kidnap or use terrorist tactics to get him?” he asked, noting that Raja Petra was now in another country.
Speaking to reporters at the Parliament lobby yesterday, Hisham­muddin said the police and Foreign Ministry officers had met with their foreign counterparts.
Asked whether Raja Petra could be extradited from Britain, Hisham­muddin said such a move would need the co-operation of the British police.
“They have their own position on this issue and we have to respect that,” he said.
Yesterday, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan was quoted as saying that the police made a request to Interpol last year for an international red notice alert on Raja Petra’s arrest.
However, that request was turned down in January.
Former Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Zaid Ibrahim, when contacted yesterday, challenged the police to reveal to the public why their request was rejected.
“If their application is rejected, why did they not tell the rakyat? If it was rejected, then Petra is not guilty of any offence,” he said.
Meanwhile, police have launched investigations into allegations that a political party was harbouring Raja Petra in Britain.
CID director Comm Datuk Seri Bakir Zinin said police would be calling editors, journalists and politicians to help shed light on the allegation.
“We received two police reports on Sunday, one lodged in Brickfields and the other in Petaling Jaya,” he said.
