We'll see what happens, Mahfuz says of Sirul plan

Whether Sirul Azhar Umar would be having a teleconference session will only be known tomorrow, said PAS information chief Mahfuz Omar.

The Pokok Sena MP said this was in regard to recent news reports which stated the Australian Immigration Department would not be allowing the former police commando to give an interview.

Last Friday, Mahfuz (left) announced that he would be holding a press conference via telephone with Sirul for 15 minutes at the PAS headquarters in Kuala Lumpur at 11.33am tomorrow.

“Only tomorrow we would know what happens. All this while I have spoken to him through the phone, and emailed him as well.

“After getting his prior agreement, that is when I made the announcement on the press conference,” he told Malaysiakini.

Sirul fled to Australia before the apex court’s decision on charging him and his compatriot, Azilah Hadri, for killing the Mongolian woman Altantuya Shaariibuu in 2006.

Sirul also told Malaysiakini he is considering the possibility of revealing all on the case after being approached by several Australian media organisations for interviews.

Sirul’s exposé that he was just acting under orders which was dismissed as “utter rubbish” by Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak has also garnered more public interest on the case.
