A DAP lawmaker has filed a police report calling for an investigation into former police commando Sirul Azhar Umar's allegation.
Speaking to Malaysiakini, Lim Lip Eng said he filed the report with the Dang Wangi police so that a probe would be initiated on the claim by Sirul that he and another ex-police commando Azilah Hadri had acted on orders.
Sirul and Azilah have been convicted for the murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu and sentenced to death.
Lim, who is the Segambut MP, also took a swipe at Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar for stating that unless Sirul reveals all, an investigation would not be launched.
"I
feel the IGP must start a new investigation. As the IGP, he cannot say
that some people are using Sirul. That is an irresponsible statement.
"Why is the IGP making a decision even before an investigation has started. Just keep quiet and do the investigation," he said.
Asked on Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak statement that Sirul's claim is "utter rubbish", Lim cited a Malay proverb, "Siapa makan cili, dia terasa pedas."
"Sirul has not mentioned (who was behind the order). So the government must investigate. Send a team there (Australia) and record a statement from Sirul," he said.
Lim's police report was based on a Sydney Morning Herald report, which quoted Malaysiakini's exclusive telephone interview with Sirul.
The
Federal Court convicted Sirul and Azilah last month. However, Sirul was
not present and it was revealed later that he had fled to Australia.
The former police commando is currently being held at an Immigration and Border Protection facility in Sydney.
Australian law dictates that those facing the death penalty cannot be sent back to their home countries but Malaysia intends to file for extradition.
Meanwhile, Lim Kit Siang accused the police, attorney-general and all the Federal Court judges of being guilty of serious negligence with regard to the Altantuya murder case.
The DAP veteran said they had ignored the "elephant in the room" that the Mongolian national would not have been killed without a "mastermind with a motive" ordering it.
"I believe the entire Malaysian population can share Sirul's sense of injustice if he has to pay for the murder of Altantuya, but the mastermind who ordered the killing is able to get away scot-free," he added in a statement.
