With her remand order expiring tomorrow, questions have come up on whether the police could retrieve the card which may give them some leads in nabbing the culprits.
However, police are unperturbed by the expiring remand order.
“We just have to wait,” Federal CID director Datuk Christopher Wan Soo Kee told The Malay Mail last night when asked if there were ways for the authorities to force the suspect to fl ush the card out.
Wan, however, refused to comment, when asked to confi rm that the suspect, despite fasting since she was detained, was refusing to eat at the University Malaya Medical Centre where she is warded.
Sources told The Malay Mail that the 23-year-old woman was on a liquid diet since she was warded. THERE are still no signs that the SIM card swallowed by an Indonesian woman picked up in Nilai, Negri Sembilan, in connection with the murder of Nurin Jazlin Jazimin will be flushed out of her system.

However, police are unperturbed by the expiring remand order, with Federal CID director Datuk Christopher Wan Soo Kee saying that police will wait for as long as it takes.
“We just have to wait,” he told The Malay Mail last night when asked if there were ways for the authorities to force the suspect to flush the card out.
Wan refused to comment when asked whether the suspect, despite fasting since she was detained, was refusing to eat at the University Malaya Medical Centre where she is warded.
He also declined further comment, saying that “there are things (rules) that we have to follow that you do not know about.” Sources had told The Malay Mail that the 23-year-old woman was on a liquid diet since she was warded.
Yesterday, policemen from the Federal police headquarters went to the hospital to question the woman. No other details of what transpired were available at Press time.
The woman had swallowed the SIM card while being taken to the Petaling Jaya magistrate’s court on Saturday.
Police had seized several items from her during her arrest, including several SIM cards, cash and cell phones.
She was picked up in Nilai on Friday, a day after four men and a pregnant woman were arrested in Section 7, Shah Alam. The woman was released on the same day.
The male suspects were released unconditionally on Monday.
Wan had said that the men were released after police were satisfied that they were not involved in the case.
On Tuesday, police released photofits of a man and a woman whom they believed could shed light on the murder case.
Both photofits were sketched based on information from the public.
The man was spotted in Bangsar a few days before Nurin’s body was found.
He was said to have been looking for a room to rent for him and his daughter.
He is 168cm tall, aged between 35 and 40, and sports a short, thin moustache.
The woman was spotted in Petaling Jaya near the sports bag with Nurin’s body the day before the body was found on Sept 17.
She is believed to be in her 20s, 153cm tall and has shoulder-length hair.
Nurin, a Year Two pupil of Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Desa Setapak, was reported missing on Aug 20.
