KUALA LUMPUR: "Catch me if you can," activist Tamim Dahri Abdul Aziz has cheekily dared those calling for him to be brought to justice.
Quoting the title of the popular 2002 Leonardo DiCaprio movie directed by Steven Spielberg, Tamim questioned whether those seeking his arrest are certain he is in Thailand.

A social media post by Tamim, which included a "wanted" poster and cited the movie title, went viral.
It read: "If the police can’t find him, then let the public help track him down and hand him over to the police."
Tamim is expected to be charged for damaging a soolam – a sacred symbol in Hinduism – at the former site of a temple in Langkawi, Kedah, under Section 295 of the Penal Code.
Independent preacher Zamri Vinoth, who was also said to have fled to southern Thailand with Tamim, is expected to be charged on Monday (March 16).

The AGC has instructed that he is to be charged under Section 505(b) of the Penal Code, concerning statements allegedly intended to, or likely to, cause public fear or alarm.
