PAS is in the process of sorting out the visa
application for Piah Samad so that she can visit her son, former police
commando Sirul Azhar Umar, in Australia.
Speaking to Malaysiakini, party information chief Mahfuz Omar said Piah’s international passport is ready and they are now looking into purchasing the flight ticket.
"I will inform you (the media) when the process is ready. It is almost finished," he added.
Besides this, Mahfuz (left) said, he too has contacted Sirul, who is currently being held at an Immigration and Border Protection Department facility in Sydney, several times via the phone.
He added that it was up to Sirul whether he wants to reveal who ordered him and another former police commando Azilah Hadri to kill Altantuya Shaariibuu.
“I have contacted Sirul a couple of times. Sometimes I called and at times I would send him a text message. I only talked about his mother. He (Sirul) thanked PAS and me for helping him to inquire about his mother's welfare and also asking about his (Sirul's) own welfare.
Warrant of arrest
“I do not want to talk about his case as I do not want to be seen to be taking advantage of the situation. As far as I am concerned, it is up to Sirul whether he wants to reveal anything or not.
"It must come from his own heart, whether to reveal what truly transpired and who is behind his actions which resulted in him facing the death sentence,” Mahfuz said.
It was previously reported that PAS had intended to bring Piah to Australia to meet her son, who is being detained inSydney.
The last time Piah met her 43-year-old son was after Sirul, who is the fourth in the family of five children, was acquitted by the Court of Appeal in Putrajaya of the murder.
Last Jan 13, Azilah and Sirul were convicted with Altantuya's murder and were sentenced to death after the Federal Court reversed the Court of Appeal's decision.
Sirul was already in Australia at the time and a warrant of arrest was issued following the Federal Court verdict. Malaysian police sought Interpol's help and Sirul's name was placed on the wanted list or 'Red Notice'.
Spill the beans
However, following the outlawing of capital punishment by Australia, the country does not permit any person to be extradited to his or her home country if that person has been sentenced to death there.
Sirul, in an exclusive telephone conversation with Malaysiakini, said he was prepared to spill the beans on the biggest question as to the motive of the Altantuya murder.
He maintained that he and Azilah had only acted under instructions.
