Hindraf leader’s passport still valid, says Hisham


PUTRAJAYA: Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) chairman P. Waytha Moorthy can ask the Malaysian High Commission in Britain to return his passport and come home but he could be charged if authorities here find that he has broken local laws, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.

Hishammuddin, who showed journalists copies of pages of the Waytha Moorthy’s passport that listed the expiry date, said checks had shown that the passport was valid until Oct 10 next year and the chairman of the banned movement should therefore have no problems using his travel documents.
