1. THE CONVERSATION BETWEEN ADU TALIE AND PEID OF THE HONG KONG TEAM REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH 3 OF THE FIRST TUP ORIGINATED IN A SUGGESTION BY ABU TALIB 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 THEM TO OBTAIN ORDERS FOR EXTRADITION FROM THE UK COURT. REID SAID THAT WE WOULD REFLECT ON THIS IDEA AND REVERT.

2. ON REFLECTION, WE PROPOSE TO TURN DOWN! THE SUGGESTION PARTLY BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IT IS NOT A FEASILE COUPSE 111 LAV AND PARTLY BECAUSE NE JUDGE THAT ONCE FETURNED TO "ALAYSIA IT IS NOT LIKELY THAT OSMAN AND SHANSUFFIN MOULT DE RETURNED TO HONG KONG FOP TRIAL. SO FAR AS FEASIBILITY IS CONCERNER, HE HAVE CONSULTER LONDON COUNSEL AND WITHOUT ANY DETAILED RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT:

(A) THEPE AY BE NO CroUNDS FOR REPORTATIS" OF SHATISURDIN, EVEN IF THE ALAYSIANS HERE TO DEVOYE HIS PASSPORT:

(B) EVEN IF OSMAN HERE LIABLE TO DEPORTATION, THERE MUST DE STEPS HE COULD TAKE BY WAY OF HADEAS COPPIE OF APPEAL TO PREVENT HIS DEPORTATION:

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