Malaysians took to social media today, demanding that police release the picture of Corporal Sirul Azhar Umar, who was convicted of the murder of Mongolian translator Altantuya Shaariibuu by the Federal Court.
Among the various postings on Twitter and Facebook, many of users demanded that the police release Sirul’s picture, which would help members of the public to identify him.
Facebook user Jason Tan said, “Show us their faces. I'm sure the public would gladly help you and locate them.”
Another facebook user Stephen Matthews said, “Let’s see their faces. Since he is now a condemned murderer and a wanted man, why hide their faces? Unless of course they are helping the country with national security issues like Paul Puah.”
Twitter user Arunasalam tweeted: “Since Sirul is missing and warrant of arrest issued, will the police publish his picture in the media?”
Sirul, a member of the police Special Action Unit was supposed to appear before the Federal Court today, alongside co-accused Chief Inspector Azilah Hadri, to face the decision on their murder charge.
However, Sirul was nowhere to be seen at the court, and could not be identified as both his face and that of Azilah have been carefully concealed since day one of the murder trial.
The five-member Federal Court in finding the two found guilty of Altantuya’s murder ordered them to be put to death.
Lead prosecutor in the case, prosecution team, deputy solicitor-general I Tun Abdul Majib Tun Hamzah, said the court would issue an arrest warrant for Sirul.
National news agency Bernama reported today that Sirul is currently overseas and did not have enough money to return to Malaysia.
