KUALA LUMPUR: Cambodian opposition leader, Mu Sochua, who was held by Immigration authorities at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport on Wednesday night but allowed into the country after being questioned by the authorities yesterday, is to be sent to a third country. Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said they would be looking for another country that can take the 65-year-old vice-president of the banned opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP). Immigration authorities held mu Sochua, who arrived at KLIA from Jakarta on Wednesday night on her US passport. On Tuesday night, KLIA Immigration authorities also held two other Cambodian opposition activists while they were waiting to board a flight to Thailand. Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah said they had received a request to repatriate several Cambodians, including Mu Sochua.
