<!-- story content : start --> FUGITIVE lawyer David Rasif is featured on it. So was terrorist Mas Selamat Kastari - until he was re-captured last year.

Mr Sukamto Sia, a Singaporean of Indonesian descent, is wanted by the Indonesian police in connection with forgery and counterfeiting. The 51-year-old tycoon has denied the accusations and said he would be taking steps to have his name removed from the list.
