Malaysian police arrest suspected Kiram financier, 3 others

From GMA News (Apr 4): Malaysian police arrest suspected Kiram financier, 3 others

Malaysian police on Wednesday night arrested a man with suspected financial links to the followers of Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram III, a Malaysian news site reported Thursday.

A report on The Star Online said Datuk Seri Clarence Luing Karl, a.k.a. Muhammad Khalil John Karl, 57, and three others were arrested at a house in Tanjung Aru at 10:30 p.m.

The report quoted Sabah police commissioner Datuk Hamza Taib as saying the four were detained under the Security Offenses (Special Measures) Act 2012.

A separate report on New Straits Times said the three others arrested included Khalil's wife and stepson.

Hamza said all four will be detained for 29 days for investigation purposes.

While he did not elaborate, the Star Online report said this may be related to the investigation into the "financing" of the intrusion into Sabah of the followers of Sulu sultan Jamalul Kiram III in February.

The report also said Khalil was from the Kampung Bawang area and was not known to local residents.
