Police should arrest Jamal Yunos now says Ramkarpal

PETALING JAYA: Ramkarpal Singh (pic) has urged the police to arrest the Sungai Besar Umno division chief Datuk Seri Jamal Yunos for not turning himself in at the Ampang Police District headquarters on Monday (May 30).

"This nonsense must stop. We are no longer the past administration," the Bukit Gelugor MP said in a statement.

"Jamal must be arrested and he must be arrested now."

Ramkarpal called on the Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun, to arrest Jamal or risk being labelled "useless", thus having to resign.

"The PDRM (Royal Malaysia Police) must take the necessary steps to ensure law and order. Jamal was scheduled to surrender today. He did not.

"Is the force so hopeless that it can’t even arrest a person like Jamal for the purposes of investigations?" he asked.

Jamal recorded a video message appealing to the police to give him time to turn himself in.

“I am not rejecting the rule of law but I fear there are other serious actions awaiting me as I have been blacklisted from travelling overseas,” he said in the video.

He also claimed there were "hidden hands" with the power to instruct the police to target him.
