Very unlikely that Sirul will be extradited now


PETALING JAYA: Based on his first media interview yesterday, there is very little chance that Malaysia can ever extradite ex-police commando Sirul Azhar Umar, who was sentenced to death for murder in 2009, from Australia.

This is because based on his remarks to Al Jazeera’s 101 East programme, it appears that Sirul has no intention of applying to the Malaysian courts to commute his death sentence.
