KUALA LUMPUR:
Top cop Mohamad Fuzi Harun today said police were confident that Red Shirts leader Jamal Md Yunos was in Indonesia despite the Sungai Besar Umno division chief’s claim that he was still in the country.

He also said they were certain that Jamal, who is wanted for various offences, would be arrested soon.

“We know he is in Indonesia. And it is most likely that he got there using hidden paths,” he told reporters after an event at Bukit Aman here.

Jamal went missing from the Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital on May 25, where he was receiving treatment for back pain, hours after he was charged there with three offences.

He pleaded not guilty to all three charges and was allowed bail of RM3,000 for each.

One of the charges alleged that he had caused a public nuisance by smashing beer bottles in front of the Selangor state secretariat building in Shah Alam last year.

Two days ago, he said he was still in Malaysia and that there was no need to involve foreign authorities, including Interpol, in the search for him.

However, Fuzi said he had contacted his Indonesian counterpart to help track down Jamal.

He also confirmed that police were taking action against the personnel who had been on duty when Jamal disappeared.

“If they are guilty, action will be taken by the integrity and standard compliance department.”

On a separate note, the inspector-general of police said authorities believed Sabah Barisan Nasional chairman Musa Aman was in Brunei.

He said they had contacted their counterparts there to help track down Musa, who is wanted for criminal intimidation of Sabah Governor Juhar Mahiruddin.

“There is no record of him leaving the country, but we believe he fled via Brunei,” he said.

Why call in Interpol? I am still in Malaysia, says Jamal
