The Malaysian Insider pic by Muzliza Mustafa, October 9, 2013.The police are on the hunt for a 53-year-old businessman wanted in connection with the murder of Arab Malaysian Development Bank founder Hussain Ahmad Najadi.
The man, identified as Lim Yuen Soo, from Cheras, had fled to Australia after Hussain, 75, was shot dead at a car park in Jalan Ceylon in Kuala Lumpur on July 29.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Mohmad Salleh said today that the one week period given to Lim to surrender has lapsed and police are appealing to the public to help locate him.
Mohmad added that Autralian authorities have also been notified accordingly.
Lim is the employer and friend of the main suspect, nicknamed "Four Eyes", who was charged at the Kuala Lumpur magistrate's court last week with Hussain’s murder.
"Anyone with information on him can forward it to us for further action," he told a press conference at the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters, where he released a photograph of the wanted man.
Mohmad said those with any information as to his whereabouts can contact the KL police headquarters at 03-21460685 or Rakan Cop 03-21159999.
Koong Swee Kwan, 44, was arrested last month after being on the run for two months. He was also slapped with another count of attempted murder against Hussain's wife, Chong Mei Kuen, 49, who was injured in the leg and arm in the incident.
Koong, said to be a hired hitman, had reportedly shaved his moustache and sideburns to avoid detection.
It was reported that the motive of the shooting may have been over a land deal.
Police had also detained taxi driver Chew Siang Chee, 45, who allegedly drove the gunman to Lorong Ceylon.
In August, Chew was charged with possession of a semi-automatic pistol and bullets.
