The police is still looking for Malaysia Today news portal editor Raja Petra Raja Kamarudin.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said claims that Raja Petra was in Brisbane yet to be confirmed.

He was speaking to reporters after attending the Home Ministry's monthly gathering here yesterday.

Last week, Musa had said the police was investigating how Raja Petra Raja Kamarudin left the country without a trace.

A sessions court had on May 26 slapped Raja Petra with a second warrant of arrest when he failed to show up for his criminal defamation trial.

The court also issued a show-cause notice to Raja Petra's wife and bailor Marina Lee Abdullah for not being in court to explain his absence.

The earlier arrest warrant against Raja Petra was issued by a Sessions Court on April 23 when he failed to turn up for his trial involving a seditious article published in his news portal.
