Are wanted Malaysians really that elusive or are the police and Interpol just simply inefficient?
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 4, 2025: Many high-profile Malaysians wanted by the law have remained free in foreign countries.
To name a few recent wanted men are:
> Low Taek Jho or Jho Low, the infamous 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) fugitive on the run;
> The family of a Mongolian French translator, Altantuya Shaariibuu, then 28, murdered in Malaysia 19 years ago have asked the government to seek the extradition of one of her killers who fled to Australia. Altantuya was shot point blank in the head in 2006 and her body blown up with military-grade explosives near Kuala Lumpur in an attempt to destroy all evidence, with talk that Altantuya was carrying a foetus.
Two former police commandos who were bodyguards to then-defence minister, the disgraced and shameless former prime minister Najib “1MDB” Razak who is now serving his sentence in Kajang Prison, were convicted of her killing. However, Australia found it fit to free Sirul and allow the murderer to roam the streets of Australia; and
> Former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s son-in-law, Adlan Berhan, who is being probed by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) involving the registration, recruitment and storage of foreign worker biometric data at a ministry.
All the above three have been on the run for years.
Are they that elusive or are the police and Interpol just simply inefficient?

Interpol still assessing Red Notice application for Muhyiddin’s son-in-law

PETALING JAYA: Interpol is still evaluating Malaysia’s Red Notice application for former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s son-in-law, Adlan Berhan.
Home minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission had sought the police’s help to apply for the Interpol Red Notice in August 2023.
“However, until now, Interpol is still in the process of evaluating the application,” he said in a written parliamentary reply to a question from Chong Zhemin (PH-Kampar) yesterday.
A Red Notice is a request to law enforcement agencies worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition, surrender or similar legal action.
In September last year, Interpol requested for more information after a request to issue a Red Notice against Adlan and his lawyer, Mansoor Saat, had been submitted.
The following month, Bukit Aman said the documents requested had been officially submitted. Further information was submitted to Interpol in March this year.
Adlan and Mansoor are being sought by MACC to assist in an investigation into a project involving the registration, recruitment and storage of foreign worker biometric data at a ministry.
Although MACC had previously indicated that Adlan and Mansoor left the country in May, both individuals subsequently issued statements refuting any claim that they were on the run from the law.
Separately, Saifuddin said efforts to track down fugitive financier Low Taek Jho, better known as Jho Low, were ongoing.
“We have evaluated every piece of information received regarding his whereabouts in foreign countries to determine their authenticity through international channels of cooperation,” he said.
