Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has been urged to confirm whether the government intends to extradite Sirul Azhar Umar, who was convicted for the murder of Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu and is currently in detention in Australia.

DAP's Bukit Gelugor MP Ramkarpal Singh also called on Zahid to explain why the government has yet to make any official request to the Australian government for Sirul's extradition.
