  Muhammad Nazaruddin, the former Democratic Party treasurer who is implicated in a bribery case, fled to Singapore on Monday, Law and Human Rights Minister Patrialis Akbar said.
  
  “We have banned [Nazaruddin from fleeing overseas] from May 24, but on May 23 he went to Singapore on Garuda [airlines],” Patrialis said, as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.
  
  The Immigration office received a request from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to ban Nazaruddin from traveling overseas on Tuesday at 6 p.m.
  
  Patrialis said that he did not know if Nazaruddin had returned.
  
  Nazaruddin is implicated in an alleged bribery case centering on the construction of a SEA Games athletes' dormitory in Palembang, South Sumatera.
  
  The KPK has named Sports and Youth Affairs Ministry secretary Wafid Muharram, businesswoman Rosalinda Manurung and a top executive of PT Duta Graha Indah Muhammad El Idris as suspects.

  Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Law and Human Rights Minister Patrialis Akbar said former Democrat Party (PD) treasurer M Nazaruddin had often traveled to Singapore.
  
  "Nazaruddin left the country before he was banned to go abroad. But he often goes to Singapore so he should not be punished for having seemingly fled to another country," the minister said here on Friday.
  
  He said the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) had last Tuesday evening asked for a travel ban on three people, namely Octarina Furi, Yulianis and M Nazaruddin.
  
  However, Nazaruddin left for Singapore on Monday night (May 23), one day before the ban was issued.
  
  The reason for KPK to ask for travel bans for the three persons was that they should stay at home to facilitate its corruption investigation.
  
  Patrialis said the request for a travel ban could actually be more rapidly be conveyed by a telephone call in the first place. "This is because a letter takes some time to reach the addressee," he added.
  
  Reports were rife that Nazaruddin had fled to Singapore before the KPK was able to summon him over an alleged bribery case at the ministry of youth and sports affairs.
  
  KPK spokesman Johan Budi said the commission had not yet set a date for the summoning of Nazaruddin as a witness but had planned to do so next week.(*)

  The Democratic Party plans to send some of its members to Singapore over the next couple of days to meet its dismissed treasurer, Muhammad Nazaruddin, a top politician said on Tuesday.
  
  Jafar Hafsah, the party's House of Representatives faction leader, said that the party was currently selecting two or three members that would make up the “communications team” to fly to Singapore to deal with Nazaruddin.
  
  “They will meet either today or tomorrow in Singapore,” Jafar said.
  
  “The party's head of economic department Sutan Bhatoegana is one of them.”
  
  Jafar said that the communication teams would be sent to conduct preliminary talks with Nazaruddin.
  
  He said that the Corruption Eradication Commission were welcomed to step in and extradite Nazaruddin if it decided to officially summon him.
  
  Nazaruddin flew to Singapore in the middle of a scandal linking him to a massive graft case tied to the SEA Games.
  
  He left for the city-state on May 23, just one day before a travel ban on him was requested by the KPK and subsequently issued
