Police Brutality Continues with 5 Shot Dead
By MP Kapar
It seems the Royal Malaysian Police changed their strategy after Kugan’s brutal murder while under their custody. Along with the Home Ministry’s KPI to reduce street crime by 20%, the police now keep firing towards those they suspect as Criminals. The latest is in the Kapar constituency where 5 suspected robbers were fatally shot around 1230-0100am.
What puzzles me is, why do we need Parliament and the Courts then? How do the Police ascertain these are criminals that need to be killed? And why do those shot and killed have to be Indians? Are all Street Criminals from this category of people? And knowing Kapar well, why aren’t there any Police beats like elsewhere especially in the Iskandar region? Busy protecting the rich, probably.
Further, I found there are variance in the reports. One as reported by the Star Online which claims all 5 are believed to be dangerous and high on the wanted list and were involved in at least 10 robberies in Selangor and the Klang Valley for the past one year.
Selangor CID chief, Senior Asst Comm II Datuk Hasnan Hassan said a team from the Klang district Serious Crime Division spotted the five men in a Perodua Kelisa in Lorong Sungai Keramat around 12 midnight.
Realising that they were being followed, the robbers tried to force the police car off the road while firing a few shots at them.
The police then returned fire while giving chase.
The suspects’ car seemed to have gone out of control and crashed into a monsoon drain, said SAC Hasnan.
Police personnel sent me a text message (SMS) to inform me as below:
“maklum kes tembk mati, 5L india pada jam 0300 hrs samasa sepasukan polis d9 ipd klang sedang membuat rondaan cegah jenayah di kaw sg keramat, Jln Kapar Klg Utara telah nampak sebuah kereta kelisa no bgk 2830 yg dinaiki oleh 5L India dlm keadaan mencurigakan. kemudian pihak polis telah cuba menahan buat pemeriksaan sambil kenalkan diri polis. saspek telah mengundurkan kereta sambil melepasakan tembakan. bagi mempertahankan diri pihak polis telah berbalas tembakan dan mengenai kelima-lima saspek mbbkan kesemua mereka mati. Identit sebenar masih belum diketahui, tiada dokumen diri dijumpai. Salah seorang sapek di kenali nama (PCO Boy-saspek utama) dan mempunyai 13 rekod jenayah dan 9 kes wanted samun. Kereta guna no palsu . 1 pistol semi auto jenis Remington (3 peluru dlm megezin) , 6 bilah parang/pedang (2 drnya dlm beg) dijumpai sama. Kereta d guna hasil samum di Kajang pada 2/11/09 siasatan lanjut masih dijalankan.Tq“
Both information originated from the police force; so which is true? Did they or did they not know the identity of the 5 before they shot at them?
And how does a HIGH Speed car chase happen? Note that it’s a Perodua KELISA, not a Ferrari.
If, as according to some news reports, only one of them had a criminal record, why did the other 4 who may have surrendered need to be killed? Does that mean for every 1 criminal , 4 Malaysians must die?
As the elected representative of Kapar, I paid a visit to extend my condolences to the family members of those affected. Present at the mortuary was ADUN Kota Alam Shah, YB M Manogaran. Based on our mingling with family members and friends present, at least 3 of the victims do not have any prior criminal records or were involved with any activities against the law.
So the Police in Malaysia are the KING (POLIS RAJA DI MALAYSIA) as they are authorised to kill anyone.
