Malaysian government lost chance to arrest Doris Jones, says lawyer


KOTA KINABALU: Malaysian authorities lost a “golden opportunity” to arrest Doris Jones (pic) when they allowed her to walk out of the Malaysia High Commission in London, said Kota Kinabalu-based legal consultant Jeremiah Yee.

Yee said that the London-based Sabah secession advocate could have been arrested as soon as she stepped into the High Commission offices, as  it is legally Malaysian soil under international law.
