By K.C. Vijayan
PROMINENT businessman Sukamto Sia, a Singaporean of Indonesian descent, is wanted by the Indonesian police in connection with forgery and counterfeiting.
He is on Interpol's Red Notice alert, which requires its 184-member police force to keep a lookout for the man, with a view to arresting and extraditing him.
It was placed in October last year, but both the police and Indonesian Embassy here said they had received no request to arrest Mr Sia, who has his office in Ngee Ann City in Orchard Road.
