Ex-S’wak governor missing


KUCHING: Ailing former Sarawak Yang di-Pertua Negeri Tun Abdul Taib Mahmud (pic) seems to be at the centre of a tug-of-war with his family members claiming that they have no idea where he is now and his wife denying allegations that she “abducted” him.

One of Taib’s brothers, Datuk Mohammad Tufail Mahmud, has lodged a police report that the former governor was removed from a private hospital against medical advice and without the approval of his family.He said he and the family were “gravely concerned” about Taib’s health and safety.
