1. THE CONVERSATION BETWEEN ADU TALIE AND REID OF THE HONG KONG TEAM REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH 3 OF THE FIRST TUR ORIGINATED IN A SUGGESTION BY ABU TALIE THAT IT WOULD ASSIST HONG KONG IF OSMAN AND SHAMSUDDIN COULD BE DEPORTED TO MALAYSIA BECAUSE IT WOULD BE EASIER FOR THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT TO OBTAIN ORDER FOR EXTRADITION FROM THE MALAYSIAN COURTS THAN IT WOULD BE FOR THEN TO OBTAIN ORDERS FOR EXTRADITION FROM THE UK COURT. REID SAID THAT WE WOULD REFLECT ON THIS IDEA AND REVERT.

{

2. ON REFLECTION, HE PROPOSE TO TURN DOWN THE SUGGESTION PARTLY BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IT IS NOT A FEAST LE COURSE 1 LAW AND PARTLY SECAUSE E JUDGE THAT ONCE FETUPNE TO MALAYSIA IT IS NOT LIKELY THAT OSMAN AND SHANSUERIN MOULT E FETUPNER TO HONG KONG FOP TRIAL. SO FAR AS FEASIBILITY IS CONCERNER, WE HAVE CONSULTER LONDON COUNSEL AND WITHOUT ANY DETAILED RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT:

(A) THEPE WAY DE NO CROWNDS FOR REPOPTATIS" OF SHATISUDDIN, EVEN IF THE ALLYSTANS WERE TO PEVOKE HIS PASSPORT:

(B) EVEN IF OGMAN HEFE LIABLE TO DEPOT TATION, THERE MUST DE STEPS HE COULD TAKE BY WAY OF MARCAS COPPIE OP APPEAL TO PREVENT HIS DEPORTATION:

(C) THERE WAY WELL TACTICAL DIFFICULTIES IN ENSURING THAT OSMAN AND SHAK SUDDIN RETURN TO KUALA LUMPUR IF EXPELLED FROM THE UK:
