<!-- story content : start --> FUGITIVE lawyer David Rasif is featured on it. So was terrorist Mas Selamat Kastari - until he was re-captured last year. More Singaporeans are appearing on the wanted list of Interpol, the international police organisation. While only six suspects went on the Interpol's red notice in October 2008, the number has now swelled to 18. The red alert made the news earlier this month when The Straits Times reported that a prominent businessman has been placed on it. 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. A country's enforcement agency puts up a red notice for a suspect when it wants Interpol's network of 188 member countries to look out for him, with a view to his arrest and extradition.
