KOTA KINABALU, Sabah - Malaysia will not be able to extradite wanted Sabahan Doris Jones (pic), a London-based activist operating the Sabah Sarawak Keluar Malaysia (SSKM) Facebook page as Britain laws do not recognise her ‘crime’ under Sedition Act.
Insp. Mohd Shahrizan Yahaya said they can only arrest Jones,
who is identified as Yapp Kim Youn by Malaysian police if she returns to the
country.
He also explained that the Interpol was ready to arrest
Jones if she was involved in other crimes, except the Sedition Act which has
been abolished in Britain.
Insp. Shahrizan said this during a question and answer
session after his talk on Islamic militant and the SSKM ideology threats at the
Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) on Thursday.
Meanwhile, he explained that fighting for 20-points and
18-point rights were different than asking for secession from the federation.
Jones has been on Malaysian police’s wanted list since early
this year after state police commissioner Datuk Jalaluddin Abdul Rahman
announced that the magistrate’s court had issued a warrant of arrest for her
promotion of the secession of Sabah and Sarawak from the federation.
