Fugitive Jamal to turn himself in

PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Jamal Yunos, who went missing for five days, has said it was all a misunderstanding and he will turn himself in tomorrow.
The Sungai Besar Umno division chief said he never intended to flee from the police.
In an audio message sent to the media today, the Red Shirts movement leader said he will turn up at the police station at 2.30pm to resolve the matter which he considers a ''misunderstanding''.
''I hope the media can give coverage so I can explain the allegations that I had escaped police custody during remand. It was a small misunderstanding," he said.
Jamal was warded at a private hospital in Ampang last week for a spinal ailment.
He was arrested for past offences such as causing public nuisance and trespassing but remained in the hospital for treatment under a remand order.
On Friday while still warded at the hospital, he was charged for causing a public nuisance when he held a protest against the Better Beer Festival 2017 at the Selangor state secretariat in Shah Alam in October last year where he smashed several boxes of beer bottles with a sledgehammer.
The case is set for mention at the Shah Alam magistrate's court on June 8.
He was allowed bail of RM3,000 but failed to show up to sign the necessary documents.
Jamal was sought by police but three days later he made a statement that he was unaware of the documentation he needed to fill.
He claimed that he had rushed off to Tabung Haji on Friday to withdraw funds for the bail. His lawyers also claimed that Jamal had unintentionally fled.
