What’s up with the 3am arrest?


KUALA LUMPUR: The 3am arrest of Kedah caretaker Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor may seem excessive to some, but police said he was nabbed at the time because he could not be reached before then.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said police made multiple attempts to contact him and his special officers to inform him of the impending charges he was to face at the Selayang Court Complex, but he did not pick up his phone.
