New police department to fight commercial crimes
Melaka: A new Commercial Crimes Investigation Department will be set up in the police force on Jan 1 next year to strengthen the fight against white-collar crimes.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Bakri Omar said the department will replace the present commercial crimes division under the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).

He said the new department would be headed by a Commissioner of Police and have an additional 687 personnel at various levels.

The Government approved the establishment of the department - the seventh in the force -in view of the increasing workload, he said after launching a book "Developing Crime Prevention Strategies - The Melaka Experience", written by Melaka Chief Police Officer SAC I Datuk Christopher Wan Soo Kee.

Mohd Bakri also said the police had the manpower and logistical capability to handle all kinds of crises including a repeat of last Sunday's tsunami disaster.

"Our main duty is to protect life and property and the police are prepared for any kind of disaster, be it fire, mudslide, building collapse or even tsunami.

"We (police) also cooperate with other agencies like the military, Fire and Rescue Department and the Department of Civil Defence in search and rescue missions and also help victims of disasters," he said.

He added that during the tsunami crisis which hit the northwestern states of Malaysia last Sunday, police were stationed in stricken areas to ensure public order and prevent looting.

Mohd Bakri also launched the national premiere of Skop Production Sdn Bhd's film "Gerak Khas - The Movie 3" which will be shown in cinemas from Jan 11.

On the book, he said people should read it for useful insights on crime prevention strategies.- Bernama

It's time to revive this thread. I got my saman yesterday near to Jalan Peel for making a U-turn at 2 1/2bt Jalan Cheras. As usual, they spent their own sweet time interrogating me (you know what they want)... below are some classic quotes from last night:

P: "Duduk kat mana?"
Me: "PJ"
P: "apa? PJ? mana tu?"
Me: "PJ... Petaling Jaya"
P: "ohh PJ... nak pergi mana?"
Me: "nak pergi Loke Yew"
P: "Pergi Loke Yew buat apa? u duduk kat PJ pergi Loke Yew tak jauh ke?"
Me: "Saya datang jumpa kawan lah"
P: "Kawan duduk mana?"
Me: "Taman Segar"
P: "Apa? U duduk kat PJ kenapa kawan duduk kat Cheras?"
Me: "bang, kawan mana-mana pun ada, kan?"
P: "Yalah tu... *speechless*"
P: "Ok, saya bagi saman, boleh?"
Me: "ohh.. bagi lah"
P: "Betul? Saya bagi saman ya! *Spending like 2 min just to write the first letter of my name*"
Me: "Ya... bagi lah"
P: "Kamu tak tahu jalan KL ke? Kamu orang PJ tak tahu jalan KL?"
Me: "Saya orang PJ tak semestinya tahu jalan KL. Saya baru balik dari Australia"
P: "Kamu Hong Kong ke? *keep dragging time*"
Me: "Australia. Saya tinggal situ 3 tahun."
P: "Kamu tau ah, kita ni orang Malaysia, kalau dah buat salah, mesti cakap minta maaf lah, tapi saya tak dengar kamu minta maaf pun. Sebab tu saya bagi saman lah"
Me: "Bahasa saya memang tak baik, tak tau macam mana nak explain"
P: "Rakyat selalu kata polis tak mesra *ohh well, duh!*, tak mesra... Skarang kamu pun tak cakap sorry pun"
Me: "ohh... sorry lor *while he finished writing my full name*"
P: "Kita orang Malaysia ah, di mana-mana, pun tau sopan... kalau buat salah, cakap sorry, kalau orang lain buat baik, cakap thank you *omg stop the bullshits*"
After like 15 min...
P: "nah... ini saman"
Me: "Saman ni berapa?"
P: "tak tau lah... u pergi balai bayar... mungkin 3 ratus"
Me: "ohhh.... THANK YOU"

Eventually they issued me a saman because I just pretended I didnt know they wanted duit kopi. I have some queries regarding the saman I get -
1) it's doesnt say anywhere in the paper "Polis Trafik Diraja Malaysia", so should I pay the saman?
2) it doesnt say how much I'm supposed to pay.
3) according to my mum, it's not the same as the saman issued by traffic police coz the one i got doesnt have any words at the back page.
4) the saman was issued by 2 patrol police (polis ronda) who are in blue uniforms.
5) making just a wrongful U-turn and i have to pay RM300? or did he mean RM30??

What should I do? Now the saman doesnt look valid to me.

It is amazing to see the level of corruption being acted by this 'worms' whom should actually represent the law and tolerated by the public. In this case Lastresorter; you are not unique. Many times I've heard all the similiar story told; be it from fellow Malaysians or foreigners. Despite all the great physical progress Malaysia had made... this will always be the sticking sore thumb; thorn in the flesh. We are so used to it this 'warts' growing on our backs we are somewhat 'immune' to it- but 2 wrongs will NEVER be a right.

We need more brave people to stand up and be counted to tell to the powers-that-be how rampant this disgraceful taint... Corruption must be weeded out even in the grassroot levels...

Beautiful patrol cars or gleaming hi-tech stations should not be the only things PDRM be aspiring to get.

Streak-free operational records are far more important that those superficial ones...

Geram betoi!!! :bash:

Well said in10cities... after this incident, I did for a while think of moving to Singapore or back to Australia instead of having to live with these pests. Sad isn't it, I'm sure I'm not unique in this case :(

I haven't told you guys what happened to my mum when dealing with the polis in Sentul....

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 4 (Bernama) -- The rise in oil prices and the need to cultivate a culture of paying traffic fines have caused the traffic police to reduce compounds by as much as 70 per cent.

Internal Security and Public Order director Datuk Mustafa Abdullah said, from today, summonses issued would be lower than before.

"However, traffic offenders who received their summonses earlier must pay according to the old rates to avoid legal complications," he told reporters at his office at Bukit Aman here, Monday.

However, there would be no reduction for serious offences such as fatal accidents, drunken driving, underaged driver, irresponsible and dangerous driving, no insurance and illegal racing.

The compounds for those on whom warrants of arrest had been issued is double the amount offered but not exceeding RM300.

"The new rates will be maintained if response from the public is good," Mustafa said.

Asked whether the reduction would encourage more motorists to break rules, he said this depended on the people's perception.

"However, this move will enable us to stop wasting energy carrying out Ops Warta and going after offenders against whom warrants of arrest have been issued or who have failed to pay old summonses," he said.

Furthermore, there would be no more need for offenders to ask for reductions because the amounts they had to pay were already low, he added.

He said motorists could refer to their summonses through SMS addressed to Dapat or 32728 using the "saman alert" system.

To subscribe to Saman alert, one must type POLIS SAMAN, space, followed by the vehicle number.

The following offences can be paid according to the new rates:

* Accidents, except those that cannot be compounded. The earlier rate for all types of vehicles was RM300. The current rates for buses and lorries are RM200, cars, taxis, vans and 4WDs (RM150) and motorcycles (RM100).

* Speeding for which the earlier compound was RM150. Now, for lorries and buses (RM90), cars, taxis, vans and 4WDs (RM70) and motorcycles (RM50).

* Not wearing seat belts. Earlier for taxis, RM150, vans RM80 and cars RM70. Now RM50 for all types.

* For not wearing crash helmets, the compound is reduced from RM70 to RM30.

* Illegal "U" turn, dangerous overtaking, overtaking at lines, and driving along emergency lanes, the rates for buses and lorries reduced from RM200 to RM90 while for cars, taxis, vans and 4WDs reduced from RM100 to RM50.

* For beating traffic lights, the compound for lorries and buses is RM200, for cars, taxis, vans and 4WDs RM150, while for motorcycles RM100.

* Using handphones while driving, the old rates for buses and lorries were RM200, cars, vans, taxis and 4WDs RM100, and for motorcycles RM70. The new rates for lorries and buses are RM90, cars, taxis, vans and 4WDs RM70 and motorcycles RM50.

* Not giving way before turning, the old rates for lorries and buses were RM200, cars, vans, taxis and 4WDs RM100, and motorcycles RM70. The new rates RM90, RM70 and RM50 respectively.

* Not having driving licence and not displaying road tax: The old rates were RM150 for lorries and buses, RM80 for cars, taxis, vans and 4WDs, and RM70 for motorcycles. The new rates are RM90 for lorries and buses, RM70 for cars, taxis, vans and 4WDs and RM30 for motorcycles.

Millions spent to make sure criminals don’t escape
Sunday December 7, 2008

KUALA LUMPUR: The Royal Malaysian police has bought 25 high-powered Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution cars to catch criminals and speed hogs.

The cars, worth several millions of ringgit, would be fitted with safety gadgets and would sport the looks of police patrol cars.

Sources said the police had already taken possession and were testing the cars before sending them to the Road Transport Department for registration and approval.

“The cars are to be used in high-speed car chase, especially in cases of carjacking, kidnapping and hijacking.

“The speed of the cars would enable the police to catch up with criminals who often used modified turbo charged cars to escape,” they said.

Several police personnel have been sent to undergo intensive driving classes to ensure they are able to handle the super charged cars, they added.

The cars, they said, would also be used by the highway patrol unit to monitor speed hogs or illegal racers.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan confirmed the purchase but declined to elaborate.

KUALA LUMPUR – Pesawat MiG-29N milik Tentera Udara Diraja Malaysia (TUDM) bakal dilupuskan dengan cara dijual kepada syarikat yang berminat untuk membelinya.

Menteri Pertahanan, Datuk Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi berkata, beberapa negara luar telah menyatakan minat untuk membeli pesawat tersebut bagi keperluan pertahanan negara masing-masing.

Namun, katanya, pihak kementerian perlu berbincang dengan Kementerian Kewangan terlebih dahulu bagi mendapatkan kelulusan untuk melupuskan aset pertahanan negara itu.

“Ini kerana beberapa perkara lain perlu juga difikirkan seperti menetapkan harga sesebuah pesawat terbabit sebelum dijual,” katanya selepas menghadiri majlis pengumuman penganjuran Perkhidmatan Pertahanan Asia (DSA) 2010 di sini semalam.

Ahmad Zahid berkata, pesawat MiG-29N akan digantikan dengan pesawat pemintas yang lain bagi memperkuatkan TUDM.

TUDM secara rasmi menerima pesawat MiG-29N buatan Rusia itu pada 28 April 1995 setelah menandatangani pembelian 18 pesawat berkenaan pada 7 Jun 1994 dengan kos AS$381 juta. TUDM kini memiliki 16 pesawat pejuang MIG-29N.

PDRM Introduces Three New Diploma Programmes
June 25, 2009 21:35 PM

PETALING JAYA, June 25 (Bernama) -- The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) College is introducing three new diploma programmes - Diploma in Criminology and Criminal Justice, Diploma in Music and Diploma in Strategic and Intelligence Science - towards moulding a force with high resilience, competency and agility.

Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar said the programme for the Diploma in Criminology and Criminal Justice, to be carried out with the collaboration of the International Islamic University, would begin next month with its first intake of 50 students.

It would be conducted through the E-Police Academy approach, he said at the PDRM Quality Day celebration in Sunway here today.

As for the Diploma in Music, which would be conducted with the cooperation of the National Arts Academy (ASWARA), he said, four members of the police band would enrol for the course beginning next month.

The Diploma in Strategic and Intelligence Science course, conducted with the cooperation of Universiti Malaya, would begin in November, he added.

Meanwhile, Ismail said PDRM had set June 25 every year to celebrate its Quality Day, which would also be celebrated as a closing event for the annual Police Day celebration.

At the function, commendation letters from the Inspector-general of Police were given to 128 policemen for their excellent service and performance.

New USJ 8 police station ready for use
The Star Metro, 25 March 2009

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bgptWvv7ybE/Scm0Zc4DB4I/AAAAAAAAAdg/_cVBVJWwiT4/s400/100_0199.JPG

New USJ 8 police station

THE new USJ 8 police station in Jalan Kewajipan in Subang Jaya is finally ready for use.

It was officially handed over to the police by the developer, Pembinaan BLT Sdn Bhd yesterday.

Standing on a 2.17ha land, the complex consists of a three-storey administration building, 53 lock-up cells, exhibit store and garage, praying room, daycare centre, kindergarten, gymnasium and activity room.

“It is fully equipped with CCTV cameras, especially at the lock-up area,” Pembinaan BLT managing director Mohd Hatar Ismail said.

However, the police quarters, an 18-storey building with six E-Class units and 150 F-Class units, are yet to be fully completed.

“There is still 10% of work and the expected completion date is May 16,” Mohd Hatar said.

The construction work for the complex started in November 2006 and the total cost was RM42mil.

“This station will have about 60 police officers.

“With better facilities we will be able to provide our best service to the USJ community,” Subang Jaya OCPD Deputy Supt Abd Aziz Abd Majid said.

Pembinaan BLT said the old police station would be demolished and turned into a carpark.

Subang Police Complex Ready by Year-end
By THO XIN YI
Wednesday April 8, 2009

Construction work on the new Subang Jaya district police headquarters is on schedule and the complex is expected to be completed by the end of the year and ready for occupation by the first quarter of next year.

The complex, located on 2.05ha land at the junction of Jalan Bandar Kinrara 5 and 6, comprises an administration block and 18 units of F-Class police living quarters.

According to developer Pem-binaan BLT Sdn Bhd managing director Mohd Hatar Ismail, the facilities include lock-up cells, a traffic pound, an exhibit store, and an indoor shooting range,

“The structural works completed so far include the administration building blockup to its first floor beam and the living quarters block up to the roof beam,” Hatar said.

http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u7/kingkoh/PoliceHQinBK.jpg

Taking shape: An artist’s impression of the new Subang Jaya district police headquarters.

Based on the artist’s impression, the headquarters complex appears impressive with its contemporary design, featuring slanting glass panels which allow more natural light to enter the building.

“Despite having a small land area of just 2.05ha, the public can be rest assured that all the essential facilities will be available at the Subang Jaya police complex.

“It will be a fully functional district police headquarters,” he said.

“It will have a sub-basement car park for the benefits of both the police personnel and the public,” he said.

Hatar said that the estimate construction cost of the project was about RM60mil.

According to Hatar, his company holds regular site meeting with the contractor, consultants and the police authorities.

Currently, the Subang Jaya district police headquarters operates from a shoplot in Taman Putra Permai in Seri Kembangan.

According to Hatar, after the complex is completed, it will take at least two to three months to obtain the certificate of fitness for occupation (CF) from the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) before the police could move in.

Police To Start Safety Plans For I-City Early
July 07, 2009 21:13 PM

SHAH ALAM, July 7 (Bernama) -- Selangor police hope to implement an advance plan to ensure the safety of residents and workers at the upcoming I-City development in Section 7 here.

Selangor police chief Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar said the city, being developed on a 29-hectare site, complete with information and communication technology, will have about 50,000 residents when completed in 2015.

He added that since work on a 2.4-hectare site from the total area of the project, expected to be cost RM2 billion, had already started with about 200 workers on site, safety measures need to be introduced early.

"We need to start planning from now since we were made to understand that a site has been allocated to build a police station within the city," he told reporters after being briefed of the project during his visit to the site here Tuesday.

He said the exact location of the I-City police station and how it will be build, would be discussed with the developer, I-Bhd.

Khalid in welcoming the initiative by the developer to provide facilities, said the funds to build the police station will be the responsibility of the Federal government.

He added that I-Bhd deputy chief executive chairman Datuk Lim Kim Hong had informed him that they (I-Bhd) would donate a van to be used as a temporary mobile police station.

To ensure safety at the I-City site, police will beef up patrol in the area and connect the closed circuit television (CCTV) that had been installed at the site to the Shah Alam police station, he said.

Khalid said once the project was completed, police hope to introduce a "Community Policing" programme that will allow residents to assist the police in combating crime.

The I-City project when completed will be equipped with fiber optic cables, a data centre, office blocks, recreation area, restaurants and a park for workers and visitors.

i-City bakal dapat balai polis baru
July 8th, 2009

http://www.utusan.com.my/pix/2009/0708/Utusan_Malaysia/Kota/wk_04.1.jpg

Khalid Abu Bakar (kanan) melihat model pembangunan i-City selepas
merasmikan pelancaran Zon Selamat dan Terjamin di Shah Alam, semalam.

SHAH ALAM 7 Julai - Polis Selangor akan membina sebuah balai polis baru di Taman Pusat Data i-City, Seksyen 7 di sini bagi menangani masalah jenayah termasuklah melindungi kepentingan para pelabur di kawasan tersebut.

Ketua Polis Selangor, Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar berkata, cadangan pembinaan balai itu akan dikemukakan kepada Kementerian Dalam Negeri dalam masa terdekat, sebagai sebahagian daripada usaha pihaknya untuk mewujudkan persekitaran selamat dan aman di negeri ini.

Bagaimanapun katanya, bentuk dan saiz balai polis berkenaan akan ditentukan kemudian setelah pihaknya mengenal pasti keperluan yang ada dari segi bilangan penduduk serta lokasi bersesuaian di kawasan itu.

"Kami (polis) sentiasa menyokong dan sedia membantu dalam sebarang aktiviti ekonomi sama ada melibatkan pihak kerajaan atau swasta.

"Rancangan pembinaan balai polis baru ini membolehkan kami meningkatkan pengawasan 24 jam selain memberikan respon yang lebih efisien dalam keadaan tertentu," katanya kepada pemberita selepas merasmikan Zon Selamat dan Terjamin i-City di sini hari ini.

Turut hadir ialah Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif i-Berhad, Eu Hong Chew dan Ketua Eksekutif Pusat Pelaburan Negeri Selangor (SSIC) Datuk Mhd. Jabar Ahmad Kembali.

Khalid menambah, selain pembinaan balai polis, pihaknya turut mengalu-alukan kerjasama syarikat swasta untuk menjaga keselamatan harta benda awam dan masyarakat.

Beliau berkata, usaha itu akan dijayakan menerusi program 'komuniti kepolisan' sesuai dengan jangkaan 50,000 orang akan mendiami i-City apabila projek di kawasan seluas 29 hektar itu disiap sepenuhnya pada 2015.

TENANTS and visitors to Malaysia’s premier digital city in Section 7, Shah Alam, will be conducting their business with an added sense of security.

The Shah Alam police is planning a new police station at the western boundary of i-City, which will enable them to respond to calls within a minute and offer 24-hour patrol.

Other safety services, such as ambulance and fire brigade, will respond within 15 minutes of any call from i-City.

In the interim, the security measures planned by the police include linking the current CCTV surveillance in i-City to the Shah Alam police station.

Apart from having patrols from i-City, the police also plans to train i-City in-house security staff.

In today’s competitive environ-ment, a safe and secure zone is an additional competitive edge for i-City, and the strategic alliance with the Polis DiRaja Malaysia (PDRM) is an important feature in ensuring i-City can compete to attract international investors to Malaysia.

The digital city is designed to be managed as one large complex with a controlled tenant mix.

There is CCTV surveillance as well as patrolling guards.

The Concierge in i-City serves both as a meeting point and a one-stop centre.

From a master planning perspective, i-City is bordered on three sides by either a river or housing.

Only the western border is open, but there is a 30.5m-wide (100ft-wide) buffer between this boundary and the main MBSA road.

The site is accessed by a main boulevard with only two entry points, so although it is not a gated community, the development easy security controls.

The project caters for two communities — the knowledge workers and the tourists.

In line with this, there are two major components in the development, i.e. the managed offices and the tourism components.

The office component comprises the MSC cybercentre offices, office towers, data centres and the related infrastructure, while the tourism component comprises the shopping mall, citywalk and media hub.

However, both the knowledge workers and tourists will have many similar requirements.

First, there is a need for i-City to operate round the clock seven days a week as many of the operations have international linkages.

Furthermore, as a tourism destination, i-City has to operate all year round and till late into the night.

Secondly, both the offices and tourism components cater for the international community, for which cosmopolitan outlets and other entertainment facilities like cinemas are integral to their lifestyle.

Then, there is the atmosphere of the place.

Thus within i-City, both the workforce and visitors would want a safe and comfortable environment, both in terms of personal safety and the security of their assets.

And, even more importantly, for i-City Data Centre Park, the operations not only require restricted access but have also to be secured against info-security risks.

The development’s infrastructure is based on the Cisco Connected Real Estate solutions. Cisco is the leading network services in the world from both the technology and data security perspectives.

PDRM Focusing On Street Crimes - Musa
July 14, 2009 00:27 AM

KUALA LUMPUR, July 13 (Bernama) -- The police (PDRM) will give priority to to stamping out street crimes, in line with the government commitment to reduce crime and corruption.

Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Musa Hassan said drastic measures would be taken to address the problem to ensure public safety and security.

"Street crimes like snatch thefts and robberies have big impact as people are afraid to go outdoors, thus limiting their movements.

"Police want to reduce such crimes which have become rampant," he said when commenting on Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's statement that the government would take measures to check crime.

Musa said PDRM would increase manpower and beat base in public places known to be risky due to the many crimes committed there.

PDRM would also step up cooperate with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and related agencies.

He said the anti-corruption campaign was proven effective when two policemen turned down a bribe of RM500,000 recently.

They were offered the bribe after stopping a lorry with 978kg of drugs worth RM280mil on May 2.

Sarawak cops hope for better police stations
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

KUCHING: The police are hopeful that old and dilapidated police stations, especially in the rural areas throughout the state, will be replaced with new structures under the 10th Malaysia Plan (10MP).

State Police Commissioner Datuk Mohmad Salleh said yesterday a proposal to upgrade police stations that had been deemed as “beyond economic repair” had already been submitted to the higher authorities for consideration under the next Malaysia plan.

Speaking to reporters after opening the new three-storey Gita police station in Petra Jaya here, Mohmad said he was hopeful for the proposal to be approved as the Ninth Malaysia Plan had seen a total of nine police stations and a district police headquarters built throughout Sarawak.

Apart from the police station in Gita, which was completed on June 15, 2008 at a cost of RM1.348 million, the other new stations are located here in Tabuan Jaya, Balingian, Selangau, Kabong, Betong, Tanjung Manis, Sibu and Sibu Jaya, while Lubok Antu saw a new district police headquarters built.

“The new facilities provide a conducive working environment, and it is my hope that all police personnel in these areas will give their best by providing the people with quality service,” he said.

Touching on the crime index in the state, the police commissioner said the first seven months of this year had seen an overall decline of 5.14 per cent in property and violent crimes for Kuching, Sibu and Miri compared to the same period in 2008.

Mohmad also expressed his satisfaction with the crime solving rate of over 45 per cent, which he said was the target set by the police at the start of the year.

“We will, however, not be resting on our laurels despite the downward trend in crime.

“Instead, I will remind my men to step up their efforts even further by conducting more crime prevention operations so that the crime index can be brought down even more.”

Among those who witnessed the official opening yesterday included Deputy State Police Commissioner Datuk Hamza Taib, State General Operations Force Commander Datuk Law Hong Soon, State CID chief Huzir Mohamed, Kuching police chief ACP Wong Wai Loong and other senior police officers.

Representatives of government departments and agencies as well as businessmen and community leaders from the Gita area were also present.

New salary scheme for 98,700 police personnel
Written by Bernama
Wednesday, 03 February 2010 22:48

PUTRAJAYA: A total of 98,747 police officers and personnel will get to enjoy a new salary scheme and an increase in the fixed police service allowance (ITKP), Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein announced today.

The new scheme, effective Jan 1 last year, would involve adjustments to their salaries at the quantum of three annual salary increments, he said.

However, the date for the payments of the new salaries had yet to be decided.

The increase translates into a salary of between RM1,500 and RM6,000 depending on the ranks.

Hishammuddin said that through the scheme, an inspector could now expect a salary of RM2,060.28 compared to RM1,423.50 previously while their maximum salary of RM3,710.66 would now be raised to RM4,962.39.

"This is a continuous effort by the ministry to care for the interests and welfare of police personnel and officers nationwide," he told reporters after chairing a post-cabinet meeting at his ministry here today.

He said that the change in the salary scheme was in line with the change in the qualification for the post of inspector — from Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) or Diploma to Bachelor degree or higher.

"An assistant superintendent of police will receive a new salary of RM2,130, which is an increase of RM69.72 compared to RM2,060.28 previously while the maximum salary is now at RM5,170.53 compared to RM4,962.39 previously," he said.

For the junior police officer and constable, he said, the Royal Malaysia Police was still negotiating with the central agency in setting the salary scales as well as the fixed allowance. — Bernama

Master sniffers for police K9 unit
Bernama
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010 18:43:00

KUALA LUMPUR: The police dog unit (K9) will acquire cadaver dogs which can detect human remains buried underground or submerged in the water like lake, sea or river.

Bukit Aman CID director Datuk Mohd Bakri Zinin said dog handlers from Finland would be enlisted to train the dogs for six months at the end of the year.

"Cadaver dogs can locate not only dead bodies in hidden areas but also blood and this will facilitate the CID in our probes at crime scenes," he told reporters after launching the K9 badge here today.

The K9 unit now has 145 dogs, including 30 dogs (18 German Shepherds and 12 Labradors) acquired from Germany and Czechoslovakia last December, he added.

"The recently acquired dogs are being trained by K9 dog handlers to detect crime suspects, drugs, firearms and explosives nationwide, including in Sabah and Sarawak," he said, adding that 40 more dogs would be procured next year.

Mohd Bakri said the success of the unit would help the police achieve their National Key Results Area (NKRA) targets.

"We are deploying two or three K9 dogs in hot spots in housing areas, industrial estates and business zones.

"From public feedbacks, 80 per cent of 2,000 respondents welcomed the idea of placing K9 dogs in housing areas as it will strike fear into criminals," he added.

Mohd Bakri said new K9 units in Langkawi and Bintulu, Sarawak would start operation this year while two more units would be set up in Sabah and Perak.

Meanwhile, K9 Unit chief DSP Vignesvaran Velautham said the German Shepherds and Labradors were bought from Germany and Czechoslovakia due to the difficulty of getting the breeds from the United Kingdom and the United States.

He said German Shepherds were good at attacking and detecting criminals while Labradors were capable of sniffing out drugs, firearms and explosives.

Normally, tracking dogs outlive their full potential after eight years, he said, adding that each tracking dog was priced at RM34,000.

More Female Police Officers To Be Promoted - IGP

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 8 (Bernama) -- More female police officers will be promoted to branch and unit heads in line with the policy of having 30 per cent women's quota in the police's policy and decision-making process, said Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan.

He said as such the police would increase the number of women in the police force from 11 per cent (of 103,494 personnel) to 20 per cent in five years' time.

Female police officers will be considered for senior posts if they are committed to their duties, he told reporters after opening the Senior Female Police Officers Conference 2009 here on Monday.

Three are seven senior female police officers - three deputy commissioners, two senior assistant commissioner I and three senior assistant commissioner II.

On the dumping of wild boar heads at two mosques in Petaling Jaya recently, he said the police had taken 20 statements besides CCTV recordings from the mosques and the surrounding areas.

Posted on February 10th, 2010 by Nathaniel Tan
ps- There is a gathering tomorrow, Thursday 11th Feb, at SUHAKAM at 11am, to present a memorandum on this case. Show some support if you can.

I have been meaning to write about the Norizan case for some time now. Of the material and coverage I’ve come across, the best narrative appears to be from Merdeka Review – I read the BM version, edited by an old friend of mine, Hong Siang.

Using this article and the police report that was made, I have pieced together the following narrative. Comments follow:

On the 30th of October 2009 at around 4.30am, Norizan bt Salleh – a single mother of a 10 year old child with no criminal record – was traveling with three friends, getting a ride to her home in Segambut. She was seated in the back of the car on the left side.

An MPV filled with police suddenly appeared alongside them, and the police asked them to stop. Norizan asked the driver to comply, but he refused. Without warning, the police then began opening fire into the vehicle.

Norizan was shot five times before the car was forced to stop. Two shots hit her arm and wrist, another hit her chest, causing uncontrollable bleeding. As she crawled out of the car, unarmed and pleading for help, she was kicked and stomped on by the police until her rib cages broke.

At no point was there any procedural detention or interrogation. Norizan said all her friends in the car were brutalised and in an attempt to force a confession to robbery. Norizan has still not been charged with any offense.

Her medical bills, including treatment at the National Heart Institute for the wound near her heart, have run up to some RM 20,000. The police have refused to pay for this cost.

*

What the hell kind of country do we live in?! Some cowboy town?

At no point were the police under threat, and there is absolutely no indication that non-lethal means to force the car to stop were exhausted before resorting to a shooting spree.

They instead demonstrated complete and utter lack of discrimination between possible suspects and innocents within the car, and displayed the worse acts of inhuman cruelty to an unarmed, almost mortally wounded woman crawling out of a car pleading for help.

Norizan was lucky to have escaped with her life. Others were not.

When will it all end?

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – we can’t vote the police out of anything, but we sure as hell can vote their bosses out.

I don’t ever want any of my loved ones to suffer anything like this just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

NO MORE!

PDRM goes online with Facebook
Wednesday November 3, 2010
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2010/11/3/nation/7295210&sec=nation

KUALA LUMPUR: The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) has tapped on the potential of the social networking service, Facebook, in its efforts to combat crime.

The Facebook profile page www.facebook.com/PolisDirajaMalaysia, along with their new media centre was unveiled at the Bukit Aman police headquarters in October.

PDRM is using this platform to reach out to the younger Internet savvy generation, posting updates on high profile cases (i.e: the Datuk Sosilawati murder case), tips for crime prevention, and updates on key community policing initiatives.

The official Facebook account called “Polis Diraja Malaysia” will be used as an alternative platform for the police to disseminate information to members of the public.

Currently, the page is followed by more than 20,000 people, who will receive regular updates.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein who launched the media centre said as law enforcers, communication between the police, media and public must always be cordial and prompt.

The RM200,000 media centre is equipped with high-speed broadband connections for quick access to the Internet to respond to queries.

Federal police Public Relations Department deputy head DSP Lai Lee Ching leads the media centre with a team of 20 officers.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Omar Ismail is hopeful that the launch of the media centre would be a fresh start between the media and the police.

The centre was a move by the police to show its sincerity in being transparent and committed to the “People First, Performance Now” maxim of 1Malaysia.

In September, Selangor police chief Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar had also set up his own Facebook page to interact with netizens in his effort to fight crime.

He said the public could channel information directly to his Facebook page on the misconduct of police personnel in the state if they are afraid to make a police report.

He said people might fear being threatened or intimidated if errant police personnel came to know about the reports lodged against them, but this would not happen if the complaints were sent to him directly.

“The public should not be afraid to inform the authorities on police misconduct . . . if they are still scared, then they should communicate directly with me,” he said.

His Facebook page address is at http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1297884570.

Crime rate down by 17%
Stories by NOEL CHANG Monday November 15, 2010
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2010/11/15/nation/7394407&sec=nation

SUBANG JAYA: There is a 17% decrease in overall crime rate in Subang Jaya under the Government Transformation Programme’s (GTP) Crime National Key Results Area (NKRA).

Subang Jaya OCPD Assistant Commissioner Zainal Rashid Abu Bakar said there was a reduction of 800 cases in Subang Jaya and 200 cases in the crime hotspot of SS15.

“Street crime in SS15 this year has also dropped by 45% when compared to the same period last year.

“We use different strategies to cover the area such as plain-clothes policemen as well as uniformed men patrolling on bikes 24 hours a day.

“There is also a multi-purpose van (MPV) dedicated to patrol SS15,” Zainal said at the officiating of the new police beat-base located at the field in SS15/2E recently.

Residents’ association chairman Borhan Rahmat said snatch theft cases at the side lane next to the field were frequent as many residents and college students used this lane to get to the commercial area.

The RM1,800 beat-base which was sponsored by Subang Jaya assemblywoman Hannah Yeoh, would serve as a meeting point between the police and the residents.

Zainal said that police officers from different units would drop by around three to four times a day at the beat-base to watch over the area and for the residents to meet them.

Two policemen arrested for causing hurt to a man

December 26, 2010

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 26 – Two policemen, believed to have caused hurt to a man arrested for allegedly carrying drug during a road block last Saturday, were arrested today.

Selangor police chief Datuk Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah said the two police constables, aged 25 and 27, from the Damansara police station were arrested after the man identified them in a parade of six people.

“Police view this case as serious because it concerns abuse of power among policemen and there will be no discrimination (against the accuser) if they are found guilty,” he told reporters at the Petaling Jaya police headquarters.

Tun Hisan said the arrest of the policemen, who had served the police for four years, did not mean that they were guilty, but was made after investigations were concluded.

He said the investigation papers had been sent to the public prosecutor for further action, and the two policemen would be remanded from tomorrow.

“The case was investigated under Section 379 of the Penal Code for theft and Section 323 of the same Code for causing hurt,” he said.

Last Saturday, the man lodged a police report that he was assaulted by several policemen when arrested for allegedly carrying drugs at a road block in Petaling Jaya Utara.

In his report, the man also said that the policemen stole RM13,000 from him. – Bernama

No offence: USD2.5 billion invested to make Malaysia a safe place to live and work
http://www.gcdmedini.com/report/no-offence-usd25-billion-invested-make-malaysia-safe-place-live-and-work

The Malaysian government has done more to tackle crime than most countries and its success in reducing offence rates has been achieved through significant investment combined with a progressive approach to policing.

Earlier this year Najib Abdul Razak, the prime minister, announced additional investment of USD637 million to fight crime, including recruiting an extra 5000 police officers by 2015 and installing 496 closed-circuit television cameras in crime hot spots across the country. Desk-bound police officers will be redeployed to patrol the streets to reduce crime and reassure the public.

A further USD700 million is to be invested in upgrading police stations and officers’ living quarters while USD37 million will be provided to encourage the public to participate in a nationwide neighbourhood watch scheme.

Separately, as part of the Iskandar Malaysia Safety and Security Framework (IMSSF), USD1.1 billion is being invested in a safety and security framework that includes the setting up of 138 community police posts in residential areas with fewer than 1,000 homes, the installation of 2,000 CCTVs and the deployment of 200 auxiliary policemen by local councils. Measures are in place to boost the presence of police officers by another 60,000 in Johor Bahru, to build more police stations and hire policeman who had previously retired.

Dramatic results in tackling crime have already been achieved with lower levels being seen in the most serious categories. The biggest drop has been in street crime, which fell by 38.7% between January and March 2010, compared with the same period last year, while domestic crime fell by 15.3% over the same period. Malaysia now has lower burglary rates than Brunei and Japan and lower levels of assault than Brunei and South Korea, according to the most recent figures, while the murder rate for South-East Asia as a whole is declining, compared with other regions in Asia and Oceania.

Violent crime involving tourists and expatriates in Malaysia is rare. Crimes against foreigners, where they occur, are usually petty offences such as purse snatching and credit card fraud. In tourist areas such as Bukit Bintang, Petaling Street (Chinatown) and Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur, and the main square in Malacca, localised tourist police stations have been established to help visitors from overseas. As part of the Iskandar Malaysia security blueprint, police in Johor have set up Malaysia’s first special task force against snatch theft.

“I see two or three companies per week coming from the UK to Malaysia and they are always pleasantly surprised at how safe it is to live and work here, said Molly Jogpal, director for business at the British Malaysia Chamber of Commerce (BMCC). “I have worked in much of Asia and Malaysia, when compared with countries such as India, is much easier and much safer to get around. It’s is also much easier to get things done here than in other areas of the region.” To improve their detection rate, police in Johor set up a dedicated crime fighting hotline that guarantees a response to every call. Last year the force successfully solved 45% of the 26,624 offences reported to them, more than twice the standard set by Interpol.

In addition, software has been supplied to the police by the Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA) that provides information on crime hotspots and helps police increase surveillance in those areas. The IRDA has also assisted the police in installing electronic signboards, displaying the police hotline number, at the Johor Causeway and holding forums for foreign investors to clarify any safety issues.

Abdul Jalil Rasheed, Head of Equities at Aberdeen Asset Management Malaysia, has visited Iskandar to witness progress on the proposed new Special Economic Zone, and has been impressed by the high priority given to security.

“If you look at the statistics, crime has reduced in the area and I guess it’s because of the significant sums invested. The Malaysian government has invested a lot of money in security and fighting crime in this area to make it work.

“It’s in a great location, close to Singapore which is running out of land. The government has made business in this country as easy as possible. The income tax rate is lower than in other countries and you get faster approval for a lot of things.“

Bid to free 'whistleblower' Selvach fails

A writ of habeas corpus to free K Selvach Santhiran, a witness who implicated police in a death-in-custody inquest, was rendered academic following his transfer to the Batu Gajah detention camp in Perak on the Home Ministry's order.

Kuala Lumpur High Court Judge Su Geok Yiam ruled that she has no jurisdiction to hear the matter as the writ had been filed to challenge the grounds of detention by the police.

However, lawyers representing Selvach said they will appeal, claiming that the court was responsible for repeated adjournments.

“The court is entrusted to uphold the highest constitutional safeguard by way of habeas corpus but it disregarded this fact despite the urgency of the matter,” lawyer Fadiah Nadwa Fikri told Malaysiakini.

“We hold the court responsible for allowing the matter to be adjourned despite the request to expedite. We are gravely shocked that the court has opted to uphold the rights of the executive rather than the fundamental rights of an individual.”

Selvach, 39, was detained for 51 days under the Dangerous Drugs Act (Special Preventive Measures) 1985 (DDA), before being transferred under a deputy home minister's orders on Dec 14.

Under the DDA's special preventive measures, a suspect can be detained without trial for up to 60 days.

Upon expiry of the 60 days, the home minister has the power to issue a two-year extension which can be renewed indefinitely and cannot be challenged.

'File new application'

Senior federal counsel Najib Zakaria, who entered a preliminary objection to extracting Selvach from detention, argued that his lawyers would have to file afresh now to challenge the minister's detention order.

Fadiah retorted that the provision under the DDA was different from the other preventive laws where the minister's orders supercede that of the police.

She said provisions of the DDA that relate to police orders and the minister's instructions are “inextricably linked”.

In other words, she argued that the minister's order is not valid if the police order is unlawful. To determine this, the court must be provided the reasons for the prolonged detention.

She said the affidavits submitted by the respondents did not “disclose the facts as to the reasonableness of their decision in granting the 60-day detention order against Selvach”.

Selvach has been detained since Oct 25, after the police picked him up at his home in a rough manner - handcuffing him in front of his wife and children at his house, and allegedly assaulting him publicly.

The arrest came after the open verdict delivered in the R Gunasegaran's inquest. Selvach was a the key witnesses, testifying that the police had injured Gunasegaran while in custody two years ago.

Gunasegaran, 31, who worked at a toddy shop, collapsed while his thumbprint was being taken between 6.45pm and 7pm on July 16, 2008, at the Sentul police headquarters and was pronounced dead at 7.40pm at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital the same day.

The coroner found that there were two possible causes for his death - one was based on the autopsy, which stated that Gunasegaran had died of a drug overdose, and the second based on Selvach's testimony.

Fadiah told reporters that Selvach had been admitted to the Ipoh Hospital yesterday following seizures.

“The warden had called his wife and informed her that (Selvach) had sustained head injuries and (broken) teeth,” she said.

The lawyers will be seeking to meet with Selvach as soon as possible, she added.

Lower crime index in Terengganu
Thursday December 30, 2010
http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2010/12/30/southneast/7696544&sec=southneast

KUALA TERENGGANU: The crime index in Terengganu had dropped by 24.01% between January and November this year said outgoing state police chief Datuk Mohd Shukri Dahlan.

He added up to last month, 1,328 or 55.46% of crime cases were solved.

“The main factor contributing to the success was the close co-operation between the police and the people, especially in the channelling of information by the people to the police.

“The police are also making continuous efforts to further reduce the crime rate,” he said at a handing over ceremony here recently.

Mohd Shukri was transferred to Perak as the police chief effective Dec 30 and succeeded by Datuk Jamshah Mustapha, the assistant director of training in Bukit Aman, Kuala Lumpur.

He said cooperation between the police and the people was vital to solve and control criminal activities.

Jamshah, who accepted his duties from Mohd Shukri said he hoped everyone would continue to give their co-operation and work as a team in ensuring the crime rate in the state is further reduced. — Bernama

Seriously Vince, please posts some news of police being injured in the line of duty, the traffic police standing in the middle of LDP and coordinating traffic, the police who comb the seas for lost persons at sea, the policemen who scour our jungles at the borders!!

You anti of everything of the government is just low level and an insult to the hard working men/women in uniform..how old are you?? It is not funny!

How do you think this country stood intact for 50 years after all those Communist insurgency and a multicultural society with many whim. The Royal Malaysian Police should be credited for keeping this country at peace.

Those who continuously attack the Police without considering their monumental contributions are profoundly dumb.

You can tell me all these when you get punched or kicked by the cops one day. I do respect the cops who contribute to society, but I also want to show everyone the ones that drag down the reputation of the police force. If there are no prosecutions of the crimes committed by police, I will keep doing the postings.

Why do so many forumers think that everything is good in this country as long as nothing negative is discussed? Are you guys scared of something, like the ISA? Doesn't it anger you when you see ordinary Malaysians victimised by those in power? Please get a heart this new year.......

Police declare war on bike, snatch thieves
Posted on December 31, 2010, Friday
http://www.theborneopost.com/?p=83626

SHAH ALAM: The police will focus on efforts to curb motorcycle and snatch thefts next year in efforts to reduce the crime index, said Bukit Aman CID director Datuk Seri Mohd Bakri Zinin.

Although the crime index this year was reduced by between 10 and 13 per cent, he said the negative perception of the public on the crime rate had not changed much.

He was speaking to reporters after paying tribute to two policemen, who rejected bribes from a car thief, at the Selangor Police Contingent Headquarters yesterday.

Bakri said the duo, the late Corporal Mustafa Othman and Lance Corporal Abdullah Ibrahim of the Selayang police station, Selangor carried out their duties with exemplary discipline.

They arrested a man and seized a BMW car at the Selayang Wholesale Market on May 24.

The car was reported stolen in Kepong.

“They rejected a RM7,000 bribe from the suspected thief and lodged a police report about it,” he said, adding that their conduct should be emulated by other policemen.

Mustafa died in a road accident in Tanjung Karang three days later while on the way to fetch his child from a hostel.

Mustafa’s widow, Sergeant Nozita Nokman, 44, who is attached with the Bukit Aman’s Complaints and Disciplinary Division, received the contribution. — Bernama

Sabah cops step up patrols at public places

SANDAKAN: Sabah police are stepping up patrols at various public locations such as schools, supermarkets and banks in several districts.

State police commissioner Datuk Hamza Taib said three policemen would be stationed at selected locations at a time.

“Two of the assigned policemen will be on patrol while the third policeman will stay put at one place to take reports or complaints,” said Comm Ham*za after witnessing the handing over of duties by outgoing Sandakan police chief Asst Comm Rosli Mohd Isa to his successor Asst Comm Rowell Marong.

ACP Rosli has been transferred to the Selangor police contingent while ACP Rowell was the Kota Kinabalu deputy police chief.

Comm Hamza said a similar approach had been taken in Selangor and had a positive impact on the people there while helping to reduce crimes.

Jangan cemas kediaman dikunjungi anggota polis

SHAH ALAM: Warga Selangor dinasihatkan tidak cemas jika kediaman mereka dikunjungi anggota polis beruniform.

Ini kerana tujuan anggota berkenaan berkunjung ke rumah adalah untuk menyerahkan ‘calling card’ selain memperkenalkan diri yang mereka akan bertugas di kawasan itu.

Ketua Polis Selangor, Datuk Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah (gambar), berkata pendekatan baru yang digunakan polis Selangor itu bukan saja turun ke peringkat akar umbi, malah membolehkan masyarakat berinteraksi dengan lebih rapat dengan anggota bertugas.

“Anggota saya ini akan beri satu kad mengandungi namanya, balai polis, nombor telefon bimbit, nombor balai dan sektor pengawasan. “Justeru, saya harap orang ramai dapat memberi kerjasama dan apabila pintu rumah diketuk polis, harap ia dibuka,” katanya pada sidang media di Ibu Pejabat Polis Kontinjen (IPK) Selangor, di sini, semalam. Turut hadir, Ketua Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah Selangor, Senior Asisten Komisioner Mohd Adnan Abdullah dan pegawai kanan polis. Tun Hisan berkata, pihaknya menjangkakan ia akan dapat dilaksanakan minggu depan dan optimis langkah yang diambil polis Selangor itu dapat mengurangkan indeks jenayah di negeri itu.

“Ini strategi kita dan apa yang dikehendaki oleh Ketua Polis Negara, Tan Sri Ismail Omar. Saya harap orang ramai dapat manfaatkan perkembangan ini dan jika ada masalah boleh telefon atau SMS anggota berkenaan,” katanya. Mengulas mengenai indeks jenayah di Selangor, Tun Hisan berkata, kadar jenayah di negeri itu turun 11.55 peratus atau 6,267 kes kepada 48,005 kes pada 2010 berbanding 54,272 kes pada tahun sebelumnya.

Bagaimanapun, katanya, kes bunuh meningkat 31 kes kepada 169 kes tahun lalu berbanding 138 kes pada 2009.

PDRM needs more profesionalism.

teenage doesnt mean they are not very dangerous if they are criminal.the more crimes they do the more dangerous they are.they will do anything for big catch. and 'good' criminal will not act/or look like a criminal.

Trio shot dead by police were seasoned criminals
By ANDREW SAGAYAM

PETALING JAYA: The trio shot dead by police on Saturday were involved in criminal activities for several months and have never been caught before.

Selangor acting police chief Datuk A. Thaiveegan said the three men, Mohd Shamil Hafiz Shafie, 16, Mohd Khairul Nizam Tuah, 20, and Mohd Hanafi Omar, 22, were involved in at least three armed robberies over five days last week in Selangor.

The latest heist was at the Caltex petrol station on Saturday located about 300m from the entrance of the Glenmarie Golf and Country Club. The trio had previously struck in the Bukit Subang and Shah Alam areas.

At about 4am, a police patrol team spotted the trio running out from the petrol station armed with parang and stolen items and gave chase.

Thaiveegan said when the police team caught up with the trio, the suspects refused to stop. The police car then rammed into the suspect’s car which turned turtle.

“They rushed to attack the policemen with the parang, forcing the police to open fire,” Thaiveegan said.

“The CCTV footage at the petrol station in Glenmarie showed them storming into the petrol station, holding up a staff member and grabbing money from the cash register machine.

“Their movements were those of seasoned criminals,” he added.

Thaiveegan said further checks revealed that the getaway car which was stolen in Jinjang five months ago contained two cash registers, three parang and other stolen items.

He also did not rule out the possibility that the trio were involved in armed robberies or other serious crimes in the city centre and elsewhere in the Klang Valley.

It is learnt that Mohd Shamil and Mohd Khairul, both from Kota Damansara, were jobless.

The duo befriended Mohd Hanafi two years ago when he ran away from his home in Kuala Kangsar soon after his father died.

Mohd Hanafi used to work at a provision shop in Kota Damansara where he is said to have met the other two.

Yes......I agree with you that criminals do not have 'markings' and are not easily identified however I think that our police should be trained not to prosecute on site or take short cuts. Criminals could be maimed or arrested without death. They should be fairly tried in court. Remember that no one is guilty until proven in court and the PDRM is not Judge Dredd. We just do not want another Aminulrashid case to happen again. :yes:

If a nation with guns like the US could do so, why not here? I do not believe that our police force is that incompetent. :yes:

from some of my video clips above, there were no threats to the police but yet they start punching/kicking people, some almost to death, and others not so lucky. How can professionals like the cops succumb to emotions like that? We don't condone violence and murder by the police and other officers.

The Malaysian Insider

January 11, 2011
PETALING JAYA, Jan 11 – Four police constables were charged today at a Magistrate’s court for allegedly assaulting businessman Chia Buang Hing.

The four constables charged were Mohd Azwan Hassan, Norzali Rosle, Ahmad Saifullah Osman and Alizulhafiz Abdul Ghafar.

They were accused of causing harm to Chia at the Kota Damansara police station from 12.30am-3am on December 19 last year.

All four were charged under Section 323 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing harm.

All four claimed trial. They are facing a maximum one-year jail term, maximum fine of RM2,000 or both.

Mohd Azwan and Norzali also face a second charge under the same law for causing harm to Chia at Jalan PJU 3/15, Persiaran Tropicana, Petaling Jaya from 11.30pm on December 18 to 12.30am the next day.

Another policeman, Lans Kpl Mahadi Adam, also claimed trial in the same court to a charge of disobeying an order under the Police Act 1967, relating to the same incident.

He was charged under Section 166 of the Penal Code for disobeying the law in order to “voluntarily” cause harm.

No bail was set for the five men.

“The complainant’s lawyers were not informed of today’s proceedings ... I was informed by the press. I myself called the complainant to come to court, but by the time he arrived, it was too late. They had already been charged,” DAP’s Lim Lip Eng told The Malaysian Insider.

Lim, who is a practising lawyer, is holding a watching brief for Chia.

Magistrate Nik Mohd Fadli Nik Azlan said today that the case has been fixed for mention on February 14.

Chia, 34, had claimed that he was beaten up by the policemen who also took RM13,000 of his money, after they stopped him at a roadblock, at 11pm on December 18 last year. He was travelling from his home in Tropicana to Kota Damansara.

The beatings, according to Chia, took place at various points from the time he was pulled over until he was brought to the Kota Damansara police station.

He also claims to have been assaulted by as many as five men at once while at the police station and at an empty plot of land at an undetermined location.

The police, according to Chia, had wanted him to report that his injuries had been sustained in a road accident.

He also vehemently denied that he had a parang and heroin in his car.

Selangor police chief Datuk Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah had said that initial investigations by the task force indicated that the reason for Chia’s detention, for suspected possession of heroin and a parang in his car, were valid.

Chia had been held under remand on suspicion of drugs and weapons possession until December 22, and is currently out on police bail.

Chia has claimed that he would be able to identify five of his 11 assailants, those who he alleged had assaulted him between 11pm and 3pm from December 18-19.

but when u did punishment,want a royal treatment from polices?pffttt~~~
i dunno la if you being cursed or whatsoever because u have broke the law.

In my line of work, I do not wanna encounter police but because of certain circumstances, we need to dealt with the police many a times. In most cases, there are just bad cops, refusing to backed down from their 'demands' knowingly that we did not do any mistakes or anything wrong. That is because we have 'wasted' their time and they want their 'compensation'.

Most of the time I do not need to 'compensate' them because I would not bulge from their demand but in a recent case (5 days ago), they played the hardball and I had no choice. Now I have a 100 good reasons to dislike them.

Perhaps you've not had much experience with em yet. Although there are cops whom have helped me, there are some whom have given me a lot of trouble.

Terengganu, Negeri Sembilan register drop in crime rate last year
Posted on January 13, 2011, Thursday
http://www.theborneopost.com/?p=86895

KUALA TERENGGANU: The crime rate in Terengganu dropped by 24.10 per cent to 4,030 cases last year compared to 5,319 the previous year.

State police chief Datuk Jamshah Mustapa said the percentage drop was higher than the national target of 20 per cent reduction set under the National Key Result Areas (NKRA).

“Terengganu police solved 2,242 cases or 55.5 per cent of 5,319 cases reported last year,” he told reporters after addressing the Terengganu Police Contingent’s monthly assembly yesterday.

On drug cases, Jamshah said 9,467 drug addicts were hauled up in 9,456 cases last year while 81 were arrested under Section 39 (B) of the Dangerous Drugs Act.

He said the police carried out 712 traffic operations to weed out street crimes and issued 121,986 traffic summonses last year.

Jamsah said the Terengganu police targeted to reduce the crime index by 10 per cent and street crimes by 20 per cent this year.

In Seremban, the crime index in Negeri Sembilan dropped but the number of road accidents increased last year.

Negeri Sembilan police chief Datuk Osman Salleh said violence and property crimes plummeted by 13.96 per cent to 6,851 cases last year from the previous year while commercial crime cases dropped to 1,105 cases last year from 1,250 in 2009.

A total of 19,407 accidents were recorded last year compared to 18,367 in 2009, he said in his speech at the Negeri Sembilan Police Contingent’s monthly assembly here today.

The number of road accident deaths increased to 399 in 2010 compared to 377 the previous year, he added.

On drugs, he said 385 drug traffickers were arrested last year compared to 345 in 2009, while drug traffickers’ properties worth RM1.6 million were seized. — Bernama

Govt's RM10b strategy to build police quarters, facilities
Written by theedgemalaysia.com
Friday, 14 January 2011 20:32
http://www.theedgemalaysia.com/business/180246-govts-rm10b-strategy-to-build-police-quarters-facilities.html

KUALA LUMPUR: The Minister of Finance Inc's 99.99% owned Pembinaan BLT Sdn Bhd (PBLT) will raise up to RM10 billion to finance the CONSTRUCTION of 74 police quarters and facilities.

The first tranche of RM1 billion under the 25-year Islamic medium term notes (IMTNs) will be issued by the first quarter. The book building process is scheduled to take place from Jan 24.

PBLT will build the police quarters and facilities under the "build, lease and transfer" model. When the projects are completed, the government will lease these facilities from PBLT.

The RM10 billion would be raised by PBLT's unit Aman Sukuk Bhd to fund its development costs, financing costs, operating expenses and refinance short term borrowings. Aman Sukuk's IMTN programme has been accorded an 'AAA IS' credit rating by Malaysian Rating Corp Bhd.

PBLT managing director and chief executive officer Mohammed Redza Mohd Yusof said on Friday, Jan 14 under the current BLT model "the private sector is responsible for funding and completing the projects".

"The government will then pay for the completed projects over a longer period of time rather than in one lump sum, which will alleviate the strain on government finances."

To recap, PBLT was established in 2005 in response to the "Report of the Royal Commission to enhance the operation and management of the Royal Malaysia Police".

The Royal Commission identified the unsatisfactory housing and work premises as one of the major challenges facing the police force.

Mohammed Redza also said PBLT targetted to complete 52 projects worth over RM3 billion by 2014.

PBLT has 74 development projects nationwide estimated at nearly RM9 billion in terms of development, financing and operating costs.

PBLT said as at Dec 31, 2010, it had completed 22 projects with another 10 projects partially completed. The gross development cost of these completed projects is RM2.03 billion. The remaining 52 projects are progressing and will be completed in stages up to 2014.

CIMB Investment Bank Bhd is the principal adviser and lead arranger for the IMTN programme.

Bank Islam Malaysia Bhd is the Syariah adviser while the joint lead managers are AmInvestment Bank Bhd, Bank Islam, CIMB, Maybank Investment Bank Bhd and RHB Investment Bank Bhd. Prokhas Sdn Bhd is a consultant to PBLT.

KUALA LUMPUR: Kuala Lumpur police are reviewing areas in the city to be declared as new hotspots in line with efforts to reduce street crime, especially snatch thefts.

Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Zulkifli Abdullah said this was a follow-up to the pioneer project implemented earlier which had shown a significant drop in crime rate.

“The crime rate in locations declared as hotspots in August 2009 in the Kuala Lumpur area had declined and this year we are reviewing new areas.

“We want the crime rate in the new locations, which will be identified later, to also show a decline,” he said after a dialogue session with residents of the Kerinchi public housing project, Pantai Dalam, here yesterday.

Previously, 11 areas had been identified, namely Bukit Bintang and Jalan Pudu, which were placed under the jurisdiction of the Dang Wangi district police headquarters, Brickfields and Kuchai Park (Brickfields headquarters).

The other areas are Taman Midah, Taman Connaught, Alam Damai and Bandar Sri Permaisuri (Cheras headquarters), Jinjang Utara, Metro Prima Kepong and Danau Kota (Sentul headquarters).

He said police would also use the K9 dog unit to patrol selected areas in the city in efforts to maintain security and prevent crime.

“The areas will be identified. For the time being, we will start in Cheras and Brickfields, and we hope the crime index can be reduced even further,” he added. — Bernama

Is it OK for me to say that many of our police officers are murderers? Assuming that each death was caused by a different officer, it means that there are 147 murderers paid by the tax-payers working as policemen in our country...scary isn't it? Do you guys still not care??

Wednesday, February 02, 2011

147 [64 Malays, 30 Chinese, 28 Indians,...] died in police custody 2000-2010

If there is a death in custody, as of right there must be an independent inquest. There should not be any requirement for family members of the victims or others to request one.

In fact, there should be an inquest on any deaths that happen by reason of the police (or enforcement officers or RELA) involvement and/or action/omission, whilst in custody, those shot and killed allegedly when the police were 'trying' to arrest, etc...
We have found out that just having an inquest is not sufficient - if there has been no proper serious independent investigations done about the death...No proper investigations - to many gaps - result an inquest that cannot come out with any conclusive decisions.

Further, inquests should be done by a High Court Judge - not by some public officer from the Judicial and Legal Services Commission, and Deputy Registrars, Session Court Judges, Magistrates and ....yes the Public Prosecutors are all from the same Judicial and Legal Services Commission. So, the coroners senior may be the Public Prosecutor in that case...

Even though an inquest, is not a battle between 'prosecution' and 'defence' as it happens in criminal trials, but is an inquiry to discover the truth the manner in which the Teoh Beng Hock's and many other inquests were conducted seem to be otherwise, with the man from the AG's Chambers trying to prove that no police or MACC or other authorities were involved in the death...and that the death was suicide or misadventure where no authority could be blamed for...

That is why for a proper inquest....there must be (1) an independent investigation into the death, (2) an independent coroner presiding the inquest, and (3) re-enforcing that the intention of any inquest is to find the truth - not to mount a defence that the authorities were not responsible.

In order to curb deaths in custody, the Muslim Consumers Association of Malaysia (PPIM) has suggested that a 'third party witness' be present during interrogation in police stations.

"This could be, but not necessarily, a lawyer. His presence would eliminate claims of brutality against the detainees," said its secretary-general Maamor Osman.

"Questioning should never be one-to-one," he added. "The third party witness will watch to make sure there is no physical or mental torture. This would help prevent any dispute. Of late, there are have been many reports of police brutality during interrogation, even allegedly resulting in death.

Maamor (right) also urged the police to inform the detainees of their rights, including access to a lawyer or family members when arrested, as many people had no idea what to do when detained, or that an interrogation cannot exceed eight hours per day.

He also recommended the police set up closed circuit televisions in the station particularly in the cells to monitor the inmates so that any violent behavior that could cause injury would be observed.

Playing up racial issues

When asked what was his reaction to Malays being the highest number dying in police custody, he said he hoped this people would not make this issue a racial one, as the work of the police was go after wrongdoers, irrespective of their race.

"But we do not condone deaths in custody if it was caused by brutality," he stressed.

As many as 147 deaths in police custody have been reported since 2000 and last Friday several NGO activists demanded guarantees from the Home Ministry and the police that such deaths will no longer occur.

Statistics between 2000 and February 2010 showed that 64 Malays had died while in police custody, with 30 deaths among Chinese detainees, 28 among Indians, eight people of other races. 14 of the dead were foreigners.

Sixty three deaths were classified as from 'other diseases' such as ulcers, jaundice and intestine, lung and throat infections, 32 from HIV, 12 from brain hemorrhage, while 23 had been listed as 'suicide - Malaysiakini, 1/2/2011, 'Third party witness' to prevent deaths in custody

Desparate times for the Royal Malaysian Police??? Our government is too poor to train or pay them properly??? :ohno:

(Malaysiakini) A pregnant woman was on Monday slapped and robbed by plainclothes police officers who broke into her shop in Sungai Buloh - and they then arrested her.

This morning, Segambut parliamentarian Lim Lip Eng received a distress call from 36-year-old Chow Soo Meng, who is eight months pregnant.

She told him the police had stolen about RM20,000 in cash and several other items.
"The police took several types of cigarettes, six bottles of hard liquor, mandarin oranges and three cartons of canned drinks," Chow (left) said in her report lodged at the Kepong police station.
She said the officers, from the Petaling Jaya Narcotics Department, also took 30 mobile SIM cards and removed the closed-circuit TV camera recorder from her shop.
None of the items have been returned.

She said when she asked for the return of the RM20,000, the officer who arrested her refused to do so and told her not to make an issue of it or risk being rearrested, Lim (right) told Malaysiakini when contacted.
The MP, who met with Chow this afternoon, said she had locked the grille door to her shop as she was alone from about 5pm on Monday, when about 10 men came about 6.30pm and demanded to be let in.

"When she refused to do so, they started yelling and cursing at her and they cut open the grille. They then handcuffed her and took her to the Damansara Utama police station," he said.

There, she was made to take a drug test before being taken to the Customs Department in Kelana Jaya and told that she had not paid the duties on the liquor and cigarettes.

"She was asked to return to the Customs Department office in Kelana Jaya on March 2," Lim added.
Chow said officers at the Kepong police station had also discouraged her from lodging her report, but relented when she insisted.
In her police report, Chow said the police had suspected that she was keeping narcotic drugs in her shop.
Investigations begin
Four officers from the Sungai Buloh station went to her shop this afternoon to begin investigations (top photo).
It is learnt that the matter has been passed to the Sungai Buloh station, since the incident took place in that police district.

Lim plans to visit the Damansara Utama police station on Friday morning to ask for Chow's complaint to be transferred to the Selangor contingent police headquarters.

He and Chow will also request that investigations be conducted by a team that is not from the Petaling Jaya police district, whose officers were allegedly responsible.
The investigating officer was not available for comment.

Polis tembak mati lelaki mengamuk dengan parang

09/02/2011 3:24pm

SEREMBAN 9 Feb. - Polis menembak mati seorang penganggur yang mengamuk apabila dia menyerang polis dengan sebilah parang di sebuah rumah di Taman Chempaka, Jalan Rompin, Bahau, semalam.

Ketua Polis Negeri Sembilan, Datuk Osman Salleh berkata, pemuda berumur 30-an itu mati akibat kecederaan di bahagian pipinya selepas terkena sedas tembakan, dalam kejadian pada kira-kira pukul 5 petang.

Beliau berkata, pada kira-kira pukul 2 petang empat anggota polis pergi ke rumah berkenaan selepas menerima panggilan daripada seorang suri rumah mengenai anaknya yang sedang mengamuk.

Katanya, kira-kira tiga jam kemudian selepas usaha memujuk tidak berhasil dan bimbang dengan ancaman keselamatan kerana pemuda itu mempunyai sebilah parang, polis menggunakan ”taser gun” untuk melumpuhkan pergerakannya, namun ia tersasar, menyebabkan pemuda itu bertambah agresif.

"Pihak polis kemudiannya cuba berundur tapi malangnya salah seorang anggota, Sarjan Abdul Rahim Hamid, 50, yang tidak sempat beredar terus diserang dan ditetak bertubi-tubi di bahagian kepala dengan parang oleh pemuda itu,” katanya pada sidang akhbar di sini, hari ini.

Osman berkata, seorang anggota polis terpaksa melepaskan sedas tembakan untuk menghentikan serangan, dan pemuda itu kemudiannya terus rebah dan mati di tempat kejadian. - Bernama

April trial for cops accused of assaulting man
By Yow Hong Chieh
THE MALAYSIAN INSIDER

February 14, 2011
PETALING JAYA, Feb 14 - The magistrate’s court will jointly hear in April the three charges against five policemen involved in the alleged assault of businessman Chia Buang Hing.

Deputy public prosecutor Amirah Mohamed Yusoff requested that the court allow the charges to be heard together as the same set of witnesses would be called.

The hearing will take place on April 11 to 13 and May 9 to 11.

Four constables — Mohd Azwan Hassan, Norzali Rosle, Ahmad Saifullah Osman and Alizulhafiz Abdul Ghafar — are accused of voluntarily causing harm to Chia at the Kota Damansara police station from 12.30am to 3am on December 19 last year.

All four have claimed trial. They face a maximum one-year jail term, maximum fine of RM2,000 or both.

Mohd Azwan and Norzali also face a second charge of causing harm to Chia at Jalan PJU 3/15, Persiaran Tropicana, Petaling Jaya from 11.30pm on December 18 to 12.30am the next day.

A fifth policeman, Lance Corporal Mahadi Adam, was charged with disobeying an order under section 20(3) of the Police Act 1967, knowing that by such disobedience it would likely cause injury to Chia.

No bail was set for the five men.

Chia, 34, had claimed that he was beaten up by the policemen — who also allegedly took RM13,000 of his money — after they stopped him at a roadblock at 11pm on December 18 last year.

He was travelling from his home in Tropicana to Kota Damansara.

The beatings, according to Chia, took place at various points from the time he was pulled over until he was brought to the Kota Damansara police station.

He also claimed to have been assaulted by as many as five men at once while at the police station and at an empty plot of land at an undetermined location.

The police, according to Chia, had wanted him to report that his injuries had been sustained in a road accident.

He also vehemently denied that he had a parang and heroin in his car.

Selangor police chief Datuk Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah had said that initial investigations indicated that the reason for Chia’s detention, for suspected possession of heroin and a parang in his car, was valid.

I don't know how it was during the time of tun hanif omar, but I know the police force is in a pretty bad shape these days. When there is a misconduct by policemen, how come the government ministers do not make any sound? Why does it have to be the opposition who are always championing the rights of the victims? It is a good thing that Malaysia adopted the British common law. If not, I think Malaysia would be ruled by a dictator today, and people have to suffer in silence while the police and authorities bully them. Perhaps that's why the Egyptians were so upset with Mubarak and the police.....

February 18th, 2011, 12:59 AM

Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein’s reiteration that the government still has no plans of forming an Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) is the strongest proof of continuing lack of political will to eradicate police abuses and corruption.

Malaysians will remember that it was Hishammuddin when he was Umno Youth leader who led the opposition to the establishment of the IPCMC more than five years ago when it was proposed by the Dzaiddin Royal Police Commission as the most important of its 125 recommendations to create an efficient, incorruptible, professional and world-class police force, going even against the then Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi who had publicly committed himself to accept and implement the IPCMC recommendation.

It was the combination of political opposition from Umno and police opposition led by the police leadership at the time which forced Abdullah to backtrack and finally scuttled the IPCMC proposal.

The spate of high-profile cases of police abuse and custodial deaths in the past few years, whether A. Kugan, 14-year-old student Aminurasyhid Amzah, framemaker Chia Buang Hing and pregnant store owner Chow Soo Meng, as well as human rights abuses by the police as in the weekend mass arrests of 59 Hindraf marchers protesting the controversial use of Interlok as school textbook have again highlighted the need for an IPCMC where public complaints of police abuses could be seen to be addressed with full seriousness, authority, independence, impartiality and professionalism.

The Dzaiddin Police Royal Commission’s recommendations, including those for increased allowances, improved emoluments and upgrading of posts have largely been implemented except for the most important one going to the root of public confidence in the efficiency, integrity and professionalism of the police force – an IPCMC to demonstrate that the police will never be a law unto itself but is equally to account to the public for abuses and misuses of power.

With the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s “People First, Performance Now” slogan, Hishammuddin as Home Minister should table a formal proposal to ask the Cabinet to revisit the Dzaiddin Police Royal Commission’s IPCMC recommendation instead of continuing to spearhead opposition to IPCMC.

This is what I found out about these cars.

http://www.theautoindustrieblog.com/2011/01/new-pdrm-models-and-police-cars-of.html

Just by looking the livery colour, clearly these aren't the actual cars joining PDRM's existing fleet, which includes the aging Proton Waja, Nissan X-Trail and Proton Perdana V6, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, and more recently the standard Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0 GT. Malaysia, like most commonwealth countries adopt the white background with blue-yellow stripes for their police cars. The concept cars shown in the pictures are in black.

Plus, our sources at UMW Toyota and Naza-Kia have no knowledge of any deal with the PDRM involving the Camry, Forte or Sportage. At least not to their knowledge. If you look closely at the first picture with the Camry, clearly the wheels are not stock and neither is this design available overseas. Assuming that these photos were taken recently, within 2010, then Camry model shown here is no longer sold locally because it is the pre-facelift version. The push bars installed are not common on this side of the world. Push-bar bumpers are mainly used in the US, where the police force known to be very aggressive in their hot pursuits and often invoke the pit maneuver to push cars off the road. Police forces in the Middle East are another market that fit their pursuit vehicles with push-bar bumpers, but that's because most of their police cars are GM left-hand drive models that share similar specs to their US domestic market equivalents. Police forces elsewhere adopt a more sensible approach - to call in a chopper, seal off the roads, use multiple vehicles to "box-in" the suspect, and if necessary to even call-off the pursuit if necessary. Rarely will the pursuit commander allow the situation to escalate into a multi-car convoy chase like what you commonly see in the US. It's a lot less dramatic than the pit maneuver but it works for them. Most of the time the pursuit vehicle's primary objective is to keep up with the suspect to relay information to the control center while maintaining a reasonable distance. This is to avoid pressuring the suspect to take any more risk, a situation pursuit specialists call "red mist" that might endanger other innocent civilians.

The Camry is obviously not designed to accommodate the push bar and Toyota Motor Co. would certainly approve of such modifications as it will compromise the function of the vehicle's crumple zones and airbag accelerometer / G-sensors.

Look closer and you will notice a sticker SGT Power. A quick Google tells us that SGT Power is a security / defence equipment supplier. So we have found the missing link between the cars and PDRM. We have to say the concept by SGT Power is certainly very impressive looking. Kudos to the folks at SGT Power for coming up with the concepts. The focus should not be on the car, as SGT Power obviously don't sell cars. But rather, the cars serve as a platform to demonstrate the new equipments. We love the LED flashers used by the latest Lancer 2.0GT patrol cars as the higher visibility is much safer to the old conventional beacons on the older cars. From http://www.theautoindustrieblog.com/2011/01/new-pdrm-models-and-police-cars-of.html

I also wonder why these cars didn't go on the news like the Lancers...

actually a country like Malaysia really need police force with balls. while police should not entertain politics and politicians, police must take action based on the intelligence report that they have.

we can see many countries who are so 'democratic' fall into chaos because the police force are tighten their hands. Thailand with endless red shirt-yello shirt dilemma, already shows us how a country and society can be destroyed if politicians are above police.

unfortunately some peoples in Malaysia are so fond in narrow politics until they forgot to learn from other's mistakes….

Malaysia and Turkey agree to cooperate in police training
Saturday February 26, 2011
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/2/26/nation/8144033&sec=nation

PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia and Turkey have agreed to cooperate in police training which will also see Turkish police personnel attending the Malaysian Academy on Transnational Organised Crime (Matoc) in Langkawi, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.

Hishammuddin said the exchanges would help build stronger relations between the police forces of both countries.

He said he had met with his Turkish counterpart Besir Atalay when he accompanied Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak on an official visit to the country, and they both agreed there was a need to strengthen cooperation and commitment in combating cross-border crimes.

“To follow up on my discussions (with Besir), I have asked the Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar to visit Turkey on April 10 to attend the 178th Turkish Police Day celebrations as well as hold further talks,” he said.

He added that Malaysian police personnel would be sent to Turkey, ahead of the IGP’s arrival, to look into the details of the cooperation.

February 27, 2011 15:42 PM

KOTA BAHARU, Feb 27 (Bernama) -- Three men were detained by the police early Friday, in connection with a murder and robbery.

The suspects, aged between 23 and 30, were nabbed during a raid on a chalet at the Perdana Resort near Pantai Cahaya Bulan at 4.25am.

In the 4.25am raid, the police seized a .357 Magnum pistol and six bullets from the trio.

Kelantan Criminal Investigation Department chief Assistant Commissioner Lai Yong Heng said the suspects would be investigated under Section 8 of the Firearms (Increased Penalties) Act 1971 and Section 8(a) of the Firearms Act 1960.

Meanwhile, the police nabbed 11 men since January, in several operations in Rantau Panjang, Machang, Jeli, Kubang Kerian and Bukit Bunga, for possession of an assortment of firearms.

"Their arrests also led the police to seize three guns loaded with ammunition, three pump-action guns, five fake pistols and two fake bombs," said Lai.

On the crime rate in the state, Lai said the overall crime index had shown a decline, especially in motorcycle thefts and house break-ins.

PM: Hindraf deliberately giving M’sia a bad image
Posted on February 28, 2011, Monday

TEMERLOH: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak regards the action by Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) members of holding a demonstration in the federal capital yesterday as deliberately creating bad publicity for Malaysia through the international media. :lol:

He said the group was actually hoping the police would use force on them so that the Malaysian government would be seen as a brutal and autocratic regime.

“We don’t want to use force, but they are hoping we will do so as they want to exploit the situation by painting a bad picture of Malaysia through the international television channels,” he said after attending a gathering with Felda Jengka 25 residents, here, yesterday.

The prime minister was referrig to the incident where more than 15 people, believed to be Hindraf members, were arrested by police for holding a demonstration protesting against the novel ‘Interlok’, at the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) grounds, here, yesterday morning.

“With regards to issues facing the Indian community, we have resolved many of these issues,” Najib said.

He said Hindraf had already submitted their memorandums to him or other Barisan Nasional leaders in Putrajaya to look into the Indian community’s issues.

“Why the need to hold a demonstration and why at KLCC?” he asked.

In Kepala Batas, former prime minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said the Hindraf group’s actions including their plan to hold a major protest procession from KLCC to Jalan Dang Wangi yesterday could be politically-motivated or they had a certain devious agenda.

“If their actions now are the same as when I was prime minister, they might also want to split the votes.

“This is by gettig Indians not to support Barisan Nasional but the opposition,” Abdullah said when asked to comment on Hindraf’s troubling actions of late including yesterday’s, after handing over equipment and machinery to 18 farmers, here.

However, he added, with the many positive approaches undertaken by the government in solving problems faced by the Indian community, Hindraf would find it difficult to get support from the community. — Bernama

Crime rate drops 30% in first month of year
Wednesday March 2, 2011
http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2011/3/2/north/8089268&sec=North

THE crime rate in the central Seberang Prai district dropped more than 30% in January this year compared to the same month last year and one of the contributing reasons is community policing.

OCPD Asst Comm Azman Abd Lah (pic) said the community should cooperate with the police to reduce crime rates, especially in hot spots.

“Without the co-operation from the public, it is difficult for the police to fight crime on theirown,” he told reporters after meeting community leaders and their representatives at the Seberang Jaya police station.

Also present were central Seberang Prai acting deputy OCPD Deputy Supt Nanda Maarof and Seberang Jaya station officer-in-charge Insp Mohamad Alias Jamaludin and senior officers from the district police, state Immigration and Road Transport Departments.

Also seen were 50 representatives from resident associations (RAs), rukun tetangga sectors (RTs) and volunteer fire fighters.

ACP Azman said the community policing programme was an outreach programme to foster a closer rapport with the public.

“It is impossible to station police officers in every corner and this is why community policing is important,” he said.

He also urged the public to report any crime in their neighbourhood. He also said the Seberang Jaya police station was in third place among police stations in the country in reducing crime under the National Key Results Area (NKRA).

If you've seen the behind-the-scene of the Kongsi movie on YouTube and also the trailer itself, only the police Wajas crashes with the Nissan 180SX and other cars. The Evo just there for show and not even a scratch.

However in real life, I've also heard reports that a lot of PDRM Evos have indeed crashed. Anyway this pale in comparison of the number of MiG-29s that have crashed by TUDM and they cost ten of millions a pop! :ohno:

KL's crime rate significantly down
2011/03/03
http://www.nst.com.my/nst/articles/KL_scrimeratesignificantlydown/Article/

KUALA LUMPUR: City police reduced the crime rate significantly last year, and will follow this up with a strategic plan that includes increasing their presence at "hot spots."

City Police Chief Datuk Zulkifli Abdullah said today that overall crime was reduced by 19.3 per cent and street crime by 38 per cent.

He gave no further details, but said that police had come up with a Strategic Plan 2011 expanding on efforts that had proved successful last year.

"We will increase our presence in crime prone areas with more car, foot and horse patrols," he told a press conference in conjunction with the 204th Police Day, March 25.

Zulkifli said the auxiliary police, now about 1,000 strong, would be increased in number to back the regular force of 3,500.

Zulkifli said that police were also trying to increase the membership of Rakan Cop which had been very helpful in the fight against crime.

Rakan Cop members, now numbering about 90,000, had given information quickly on various cases, he added.

Zulkifli also spoke of the challenge that police face daily in keeping safe the city that is home to nearly two million people and which welcomes over nine million visitors a year.

He said that police were constantly alert against international criminals trying to make Kuala Lumpur a transit for drugs.

Zulkifli said that police bust 10 international drug syndicate last year and crippled four more in the last two months. - BERNAMA

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said crime prevention efforts need the close cooperation of everyone especially the local community.

“In line with the 1Malaysia spirit, anything that needs to be carried out, whether to develop the country or efforts to check crime would be more successful if there is cooperation from all the ethnic groups,” he said at the launch of the Community Policing for the Selangor state level in Puchong, near here Saturday night.

He said that in crime-prevention efforts, the people could play a role as the ‘eyes and ears’ of the police and take proactive measures in resolving social problems before they deteriorated into crime.

“If we just depend on the government, we will not achieve the level of success that we hope for. We must give our cooperation to the police.

“We must make our contribution in fighting crime, because it is our common responsibility,” he said.

Najib said if the community was conscious about their own safety, they could work to take extra precautions to prevent crime from happening, such as by installing anti-theft devices in their vehicles and alarm system at home, while the local governments could make efforts to implement the safe city concept.

“I am confident that if we work together, we can create a safer and more conducive environment to live in, and we will be able to see a sharp reduction in the crime rate,” he said.

The Prime Minister said the implementation of the National Key Result Areas (NKRA) in curbing crime also showed the government’s commitment in reducing the crime rate whereby last year, the crime rate was reduced by 15 per cent, exceeding the target of five per cent set while street crime was reduced by 35 per cent.

Meanwhile in Selangor, the crime rate had reduced by 10 per cent last year, he said.

The function was attended by almost 10,400 people including the prime minister’s wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein Onn, Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Datuk Seri Noh Omar, Deputy Finance Minister 1 Datuk Donald Lim and Selangor Chief Police Officer Datuk Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah.

Najib also said he was impressed by the large attendance of the various races at the function, adding that this showed the 1Malaysia spirit was still alive in the hearts of Malaysians.

This showed that the people were prepared to put aside politics to achieve a common goal which, in this context, was crime prevention, in line with the 1Malaysia concept.

He said although the use of the 1Malaysia symbol and logo was prohibited in public places by the Selangor state government, this did not prevent the people in the state from supporting and upholding 1Malaysia.

“What is important is not the symbol or logo. What is important is the 1Malaysia spirit that is alive in the hearts of Malaysians.” — Bernama

JOHOR BAHARU, March 7 (Bernama) -- Johor police will build an additional of 25 police beat bases in Johor Baharu in a bid to reduce the crime rate and increase the secure feeling among the city dwellers and tourists.

Johor police chief Datuk Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff said the move was also in line with the Johor police's aspiration to have at least 50 police beat bases in the city.

"Prior to this, we have already built police beat bases at Jalan Meldrum, Jalan Segget and Jalan Wong Ah Fook. So, within this week, we will build 25 more bases at selected locations in the city with the cooperation of the Johor Baharu City Council," he told reporters here Monday.

Mohd Mokhtar said the police beat bases would be built at public places and commercial areas and that the public could also lodge a complaint or police report there without having to go to the nearest police stations.

Meanwhile, he also said that the Johor police would send a reminder to all Rakan Cop members in the state to keep on channeling information to the police.

"There are 38,000 registered members of Rakan Cop in the state. We don't know who are active and who are not. So, we'll send them the reminder," he added.

KUCHING, March 17 (Bernama) -- The police have proposed beefing up security aspects at popular tourism spots and crime-prone areas in Kuching City this year.

Kuching police chief Assistant Commissioner Mun Kok Keong said one of the strategies agreed upon was the erection of metal rails at public places which were haunts of local and foreign tourists, to minimise the risk of snatch thieves.

"We identified several hotspots such as the Kuching Waterfront, and with the help of three local councils, we hope to lower the crime rate," he said at a news conference here Thursday.

"A meeting was held with the Kuching City North Commission, Kuching City South Council and Padawan Municipal Council last month and if all goes well, the implementation would begin by July," he said.

Mun said the funds would come from the federal housing and local government ministry and channelled to the three local councils.

"We also want certain roads in Kuching City that are frequently used by motorists and pedestrians to be lit via more street lighting," he said.

On another development, he warned the public not to participate in an illegal assembly scheduled to be held this weekend.

KUALA LUMPUR: Joint patrols by members of the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) and auxiliary police at the light rail transit (LRT) stations in Selangor will be conducted to ensure the safety of passengers.

Selangor police chief Datuk Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah said about 300,000 people used the LRT service in the Ampang area in a month, for instance, and the police wanted them to feel safe.

"Hence, we will undertake a joint-patrol system with the auxiliary police at the LRT stations," he said after visiting the crime hot spots by taking the LRT ride from the Cahaya station in Ampang.

Tun Hisan said when the police wanted to do community policing, they would not only focus on residents in housing areas including condominiums but also on people using public transport like the LRT trains.

He said the effort was also part of the police's National Key Result Area of reducing crime rates.

"We want to make sure the public really feel safe. That was why the first question that I asked two women who were on the LRT train today was whether they felt safe, and I was happy they said yes," he added. - Bernama

MELBOURNE: The Australian Federal Police (AFP) will host a delegation from the Royal Malaysian Police to share knowledge about international airport policing.The AFP will host and fund the aviation policing study tour for a delegation from the Malaysian Special Branch to Australia in the middle of this year.

“This visit will enable the Malaysian police to observe policing and security arrangements at the Sydney and Perth international airports,” Australia’s Minister for Home Affairs Brendan O’Connor said in a statement.

He said the Malaysian police would then make recommendations to strengthen the security of the busy KL International Airport.

O’Connor said the tour could be the prelude to closer engagement with the Malaysian police on airport security.

“The importance of airport security can’t be undervalued and the Australian Government is pleased that the AFP is working with the Royal Malaysian Police in this coordinated approach,” he said.

“There has been a focus on airport security in recent years and I look forward to seeing the results of closer collaboration between Australian and Malaysian police,” he said.

“Through working together, we can create safer airports and safer skies for both our countries and our region more broadly,” O’Connor said.

This announcement comes as Australia also moves to boost security at its airports with a US$200 million (about RM608 million) suite of aviation security initiatives over four years.

Last month, the Aviation Crimes and Policing Legislation Bill 2010 passed through Parliament introducing three new aviation crimes and boosting jail sentences for existing offences such as hoaxes and endangering an aircraft. — Bernama

Updated: Thursday March 24, 2011 MYT 3:40:18 PM

KUALA LUMPUR: The police force plans to increase its personnel strength from 122,000 to 150,000 by 2015 to meet the growing needs of the community and rapid development of the country.

Bukit Aman Director of Management Datuk Robiah Abdul Ghani said the need to beef up strength was prompted by the changing landscape of the country, which demanded an effective and efficient police force.

“More police personnel are needed due to the increase in population and to cater for the development process,” she told reporters in conjunction with the 204th Police Day to be celebrated Friday.

She said that as such the police had opened its doors to ex-servicemen who were keen to join the force, and had recruited 100 ex-servicemen since January.

JOHOR BAHRU: Perangkaan jenayah jalanan di seluruh Johor bagi tempoh tiga bulan pertama tahun ini, berkurangan 22.08 peratus atau 221 kes berbanding tempoh sama tahun lalu.

Penurunan yang membabitkan pelbagai jenayah jalanan dan kekerasan seperti ragut, samun tanpa senjata api dan samun berkawan tanpa senjata api, itu antara lain hasil kerjasama orang ramai dalam membantu polis membanteras jenayah.

Ketua Polis Johor, Datuk Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff, berkata kejayaan itu berikutan kesediaan masyarakat menjadi ‘mata dan telinga’ polis dengan menyalurkan maklumat penting bagi membongkar kegiatan jenayah.

Katanya, sebanyak 780 kes jenayah jalanan direkodkan sejak Januari hingga Mac tahun ini berbanding 1,001 kes bagi tempoh sama tahun lalu. Dalam tempoh sama tahun ini, seramai 108 suspek sudah ditahan.

http://www.nst.com.my/nst/articles/05str02b/Article/

JOHOR police scored a major success when they arrested 13 suspects who are believed to be involved in 57 cases of robbery reported over 10 days last month.

Johor police chief Datuk Mokhtar Shariff said in one of the cases, police arrested two men aged 22 and 24 after they had robbed a computer centre in Tampoi, Johor Baru.

Mokhtar said police seized RM1,200, two handphones and two identity cards belonging to the suspects' victims.

The case is being investigated under Section 395/397 of the Penal Code for armed robbery and the duo face a maximum of 20 years jail and whipping, if convicted.

In another case, police arrested five men aged between 17 and 53 for stealing stainless steel gates from houses in prime areas in several districts.

Police seized a lorry, a cutter and steel rod from them. Mokhtar said one of the suspects has two previous convictions for theft.

The gang was believed to have been involved in 29 cases of stealing stainless steel gates in Kulaijaya, Bandar Seri Alam, Kota Tinggi and Johor Baru. The suspects are being investigated under Section 379 of the Penal Code for theft.

In yet another case, Mokhtar said two men aged 21 and 25 were arrested after they had robbed a sundry shop in Tampoi.

Police seized a Samurai sword, five parangs, four handphones, RM758 cash and a Perodua Myvi. The duo, who have no previous convictions, are believed to be involved in seven cases in Johor Baru.

In another case, police arrested three men aged 21, 24 and 29 at Bukit Siput, Segamat. They are believed to have been involved in robbing cargo lorries.

The two locals and a 29-year-old foreigner were arrested within 48 hours after they had robbed a palm oil tanker on March 28 at 5.30am at Tenang, Segamat.

Following the arrest, police seized the tanker, a lorry, air compressor, water pump, air compressor receiver, a car and two motorcycles.

The case has been classified under Section 395 of the Penal Code for armed robbery.

One of the suspects has a previous conviction.

In yet another case, a 21-year-old robbery suspect was arrested while his accomplice was shot dead when the duo, together with eight others, attacked two policemen outside a video gaming centre in Permas Jaya on March 31.

Sugumaran Suppiah

KUALA LUMPUR: The police were working with the armed forces to fight crime in cities, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein.

"We use army camps for training and police recruitment, conduct joint patrols and absorb former armed forces personnel into the police force," he said at the launch of the Safe City Monitoring System (SCMS) in a hotel here yesterday.

Present were Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Chor Chee Heung and Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar.

Hishammuddin said the heartbeat of the nation's crime prevention plan was SCMS.

It integrates crime data from the police reporting system with SCP and also uses information from the Federal Department of Town and Country Planning and the Housing and Local Government Ministry.

SCMS, which is operational in 42 crime hotspots since Jan 1, allows the authorities to plan safety and security measures in urban areas.

SCMS is also linked to the Internet, which allows local authorities and crime-prevention agencies access to information about high-crime areas.

The police and 12 local councils -- including Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya and Shah Alam City Halls -- received their SCMS user's manual yesterday.

Hishammuddin said the involvement of the armed forces had contributed to the 35 and 15 per cent drops in street crimes and the crime index last year.

"We deployed an average of 2,090 people to crime hotspots with an average of 8,000 to 9,000 visits per week.

"We also deployed 90 mobile police beats nationwide and added 812 motorcycles to police patrols."

Chor, who launched SCMS, said Malaysia wanted to make at least 90 per cent of its main cities safer places to live in by the end of 2013.

Last year, Malaysia was ranked 22nd on the Global Peace Index, overtaking Singapore as the safest country in Southeast Asia and coming in second behind Japan in Asia.

"The local authorities carried out measures to deter street crimes, including putting up more street lights, guard rails to separate pedestrians from car lanes, closed-circuit televisions, security alarms and security mirrors."

Chor said the ministry was considering amending building by-laws to get developers to install security and safety features in their projects.

Police seek duo over armed robbery
By Chua Bee Kim
http://www.nst.com.my/articles/3pal/Article/art_print
2011/04/15

POLICE are looking for two men to facilitate investigations into the case of a robbery in Taman Pelangi here last Friday where a bodyguard of a moneychanger was shot dead.
The two men are Mohd Fadilah Yoosuff @ Telinga (IC No 790212-10-5051) and Azmi Abdullah @ Mie (IC No. 711019-08-5245).

Johor police chief Datuk Mokhtar Shariff told a Press conference that a special task force has been formed with reinforcement from Bukit Aman Federal police to assist in the investigations.

Mokhtar said the three cars used by the robbers in the incident had been recovered and the Forensics Department is carrying out checks on them. All of them were reportedly stolen.

Mokhtar declined to disclose the amount of money that was in the bag, which the robbers had grabbed after they had shot dead the 63-year-old bodyguard, identified as Isa Jamaluddin.

The deceased had been working for the moneychanger's family for over 10 years. Mokhtar said he had visited the widow and family of Isa to convey his condolence.

"As for the amount of money stolen, it will be revealed in court once we catch the robbers," said Mokhtar when pressed on the matter.

"I cannot reveal too much details now. One life was lost and the most important thing is for the police to apprehend the criminals," he said.

It was reported that the robbers in two cars had blocked the Hyundai Sonata driven by the moneychanger just after he, Isa and a woman believed to be his sister left the premises with the day's collection at Jalan Kuning 2.

The robbers had jumped out of their cars before one of them without any provocation opened fire with a pistol at the bodyguard who was sitting in the front passenger seat and armed with a pump gun.

The moneychanger and the woman were not harmed.

The robbers had forced the moneychanger to open the trunk of the car before grabbing the bag containing the money.

The robbers left their two cars, a Proton Waja and a Proton Wira, behind and made their escape in another car driven by another gang member.

The getaway car, a Proton Inspira, was found abandoned in another part of the city the same day.

The robbery lasted less than five minutes.

^^ The case above happened to a family I know but not so close…

According to the lady driver she had a trauma when the Malay guard were shot died and as a result she became too stiffed to open the car boot when was ordered to. Given her state of hearing 6 gunshots fired at almost point-blank range at the guard while trapped inside the car, according to her, one of the assailant had actually shouted repeatedly to the gunman that she be killed too… probably b.cos she saw them but fortunately she escaped death. Btw, 6 bullets were extracted from the guard’s body and a total amount close to RM2mil. gone within mins. The lady could see the robbers were of the Malay, Chinese and Indian race makeup. Apparently this group of robbers sure know how to take BN’s 1Malaysia to a whole new level!

Anyway on that dangerous level, our criminals have liken to a more daring, ruthless and violent outcome. But how about our cops? I am not sure how they’ll be prepared. JB or rather M’sia criminals seems to be able to outsmart our cops… no.. no, I should say the way the criminal operate is like the police has close shop long time ago. My assumption is that the criminals presence is thriving and the police only know how to create traffic jams and fines like doing road shows and sales… We don’t need cops on wheels, we need beat cops but their presence is often not there.

Currently, I do hv a small problem with JB… I really can’t stand those “walking beggars” around JB! They are sometime fierce and could potentially be a robber if you offer RM2 or 3 to them. I don’t really know what the police is doing, as this able-bodied beggars are harassing its citizens and tourists! When the police do nothing, all we can do is to be extra cautious even with 3 ppl around us, cos ultimately how safe are you out there???

PUTRAJAYA: Stolen vehicles worth RM30mil were seized, three car-theft rings crippled and vehicle importers who under-declared Customs duties and taxes to the tune of hundreds of millions of ringgit have been brought to book with a special task force going on the offensive.

Besides raiding car importing companies, audit firms and homes of company directors, the task force has also frozen about 300 bank accounts in the past one week.

The Attorney-General's Chambers believed that those under investigation had committed offences related to tax evasion, misuse of Approved Permits, falsifying documents, money-laundering and corruption.

In other developments:

> A total of 23 suspects believed to be involved in three car-theft syndicates have been picked up, along with many luxury vehicles.

> The vehicles are normally obtained from mediators and stored in containers before being exported via Port Klang.

Cops and various bodies to fight crime together
by Conny Banji. Posted on May 13, 2011, Friday
http://www.theborneopost.com/?p=130037

SIBU: The police will collaborate with other enforcement agencies, private sector, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and community members to fight crimes.

Bukit Aman Human Resource and Corporate chief SAC Datuk Zainal Abidin Kassim said this was one of the strategies under the police’s Five-Year Strategic Plan (PS5T) 2011-2015 for crime prevention.

“The PS5T is an effort for the development of police team towards becoming the main enforcement authority that emphasises performance evaluation of all departments under the agency,” he said.

In fact, Zainal disclosed that there are six strategies for the implementation of PS5T 2011-2015.

Other five strategies are: zero crime index per day per district; collateralisation of 4Ps concept; active creative and innovative thinking; improvement of spiritual programme for police personnel; and continuous and scheduled monitoring.

The collaboration and integration effort with other enforcement agencies, private sector, non-governmental organisations and community members is strategy number three.

“We will collaborate with Rela, Civil Defence Department, Customs Department, army, Village Security and Development Committee (JKKK) of villages and residential areas and others,” Zainal said.

He was speaking to reporters here yesterday after having officiated at the PS5T 2011-2015 briefing by Bukit Aman officers held at a hotel here.

For the purpose, he said they could conduct volunteer patrol scheme (Skim Rondaan Sukarela) with JKKK as well as joint operation with other enforcement agencies.

With private sector and NGOs, he said their cooperation would be a win-win situation.

He cited Sunway City in Selangor where the developer Sime Darby provided the police with a van for patrolling.

“Police on the other hand provide the manpower whereby we conduct patrol together with Sunway City in-house security,” he said.

On a similar strategy under the ‘Safe City Programme’, he said the police also hoped to extend the ‘Ops Payung’ nationwide.

“We have been receiving very good responses from the public in residential areas where this programme is implemented like in Petaling Jaya, Selangor,” he said.

He said the programme was not only for crime prevention but also to make the public feel safe with the presence of police in their residential areas, particularly the hotspots.

‘Ops Payung’ was first launched in Selangor in February this year.

Also present at the briefing was Sibu police chief ACP Shafie Ismail.

SANDAKAN: District police chief ACP Rowell Marong said the reduced crime rate here was due to the close working relations of the police and the public.

He said this relationship must be maintained with the police continuing to perform their work professionally.

“Everyone in the police force here must also maintain close rapport and work as a team in order to keep Sandakan a safe place,” said Marong at the monthly assembly at the police headquarters here yesterday. Forty-three police personnel received certificates of appreciation.

Most crimes committed by locals – police
Posted on May 13, 2011, Friday
http://www.theborneopost.com/?p=129870

KOTA KINABALU: Police statistics show that most crimes in the state had been committed by locals.

From January till April this year, about 696 locals had been arrested by the police for numerous crimes, including violent crimes.

Although this shows a staggering figure, the crime index for the first four months of this year had decreased to about 31.2 per cent as compared to last year, said state Commissioner of Police Datuk Hamza Taib.

“There were about 2,343 crime cases recorded in 2011 as compared to 2,655 crime cases in 2010.

“This shows a decrease of about 31.2 per cent during the first four months of this year, and out of these figures, 696 crime cases or 83.05 per cent had been committed by locals,” he told reporters at a press conference at the Sabah police headquarters in Kepayan here yesterday.

According to Hamza, 81 Filipinos had been arrested by the police where 18 of them were involved in violent crimes, while the remaining were involved in property crimes.

“Fifty-one Indonesians had also been detained where 23 were involved in violent crimes and 36 in property crimes,” he said.

Meanwhile, Hamza continued to urge the public to give their cooperation to the police to prevent crimes in the state.

“We are an enforcement agency and it is our responsibility to ensure that the state of Sabah is free from crime,” he said.

PETALING JAYA: Fences and gates keep houseowners safe but the barriers are also known to make strangers out of neighbours.

Taman Gasing Indah here was one such “I-don't-know-you” neighbourhood for many years until some residents decided to fire up the community spirit.

“Initially it was difficult to get the residents to be involved,” said Gasing Indah Rukun Tetangga (RT) voluntary patrol unit (SRS) head Eric Chew.

He recalled the neighbourhood being a crime prone area with car break-ins and snatch theft cases happening almost everyday.

at the 2011 One Million Youth Gathering in Putrajaya yesterday.
— Bernama picture

PUTRAJAYA: The Home Ministry yesterday launched CAT (Crime Awareness Team), an initiative to mobilise youths in crime prevention activities.
Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said CAT comprises youths aged between 15 and 25 in every district, and they would be trained with leadership and policing skills as well as aspects of community security.

"CAT will create awareness among youth and promote better understanding of the repercussions of involvement in crime as well as the dangers of being on the wrong side of the law.

"Indirectly, this voluntary participation of youth will also help the government in its efforts to prevent crime," he said at the initiative's launch here.

Present was Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek.

The launch of CAT was held in conjunction with the three-day 2011 One Million Youth Gathering, which ends tomorrow.

Hishammuddin said the involvement of youth in crime prevention was pivotal as they were among the groups often associated with criminal activities, especially street crimes and social ills.

Hishammuddin and Ahmad Shabery also witnessed the inking of cooperation documents for the CAT initiative by the Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar and the Youth and Sports Ministry.

Last year, a total of 2,226 youth were registered as CAT members, surpassing the 2,000 target.

This year, the ministry is targeting to rope in 10,000.

The members last year were involved in 767 programmes while this year, the government had planned about 1,500 programmes that would be extended to all 222 parliamentary constituencies.

Hishammuddin said up to this month, 3,592 youth had been registered as CAT members in four states with "hotspot" areas.

These are Selangor, Johor, Penang and Kuala Lumpur, with 47 activities carried out until April next year.

The CAT initiative, an idea mooted by the Crime Lab, which sat in October 2009, is part of the efforts to involve youth in crime prevention, under the National Key Result Areas for Crime Reduction as underlined in the Government Transformation Programme.

Study needed for police headquarters in Putatan
Posted on May 25, 2011, Wednesday
http://www.theborneopost.com/2011/05/25/study-needed-for-police-headquarters-in-putatan/

PENAMPANG: A thorough study would be carried out by the police before a police headquarters could be set up in Putatan.

Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Hamza Taib said the police needed to take into numerous considerations, including the population, economic growth and logistics before a police headquarters could be set up in the district.

“All these must be studied before we put up a recommendation to Bukit Aman for the setting up of a district police headquarters in Putatan,” he told reporters after witnessing the handing over of duty from Penampang acting police chief ASP Wan Badrul Hisham Wan Osman to newly elected district police chief DSP Ratan Kumar Sing A/L Jainu at the Penampang police headquarters here yesterday.

Hamza was asked to respond to a call by Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Yahya Hussin to set up a district police headquarters following the elevation of Putatan into a full district.

Yahya said the newly-elevated district was undergoing tremendous development and more new housing estates and commercial centres were currently being developed in the area.

Yahya, who is also Petagas assemblyman, said he had written to Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar on the request.

Hamza said he had yet to receive an official request for the setting up of the district police headquarters in Putatan.

He said there is currently an existing police station in Putatan which is supervised by an officer-in-charge of the station under the jurisdiction of the Penampang district police station.

“Now that Putatan has been elevated to a full district, we will then have to carry out a study to justify having a police station there,” he said.

“Obviously, if it is a full district, it should be managed by a district police chief,” he added.

He said despite being the second largest state in the country, Sabah has only 20 district police chiefs.

“Sometimes we have to group together districts with a low population and slow economic growth.

“They would then be put under the care of one district police chief,” said Hamza.

Crime awareness team targets 10,000 members this year
Posted on May 28, 2011, Saturday
http://www.theborneopost.com/2011/05/28/crime-awareness-team-targets-10000-members-this-year/

PUTRAJAYA: The Crime Awareness Team (CAT), set up to encourage youth participation in crime-prevention, aims to attract 10,000 members by end of the year when the programme is expanded nationwide, involving 222 parliamentary constituencies.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said that so far, 3,592 CAT members had been registered in four states, comprising Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Johor and Penang, where 47 activities had been carried.

“Youth involvement in crime prevention activities, like CAT, is crucial as they are the target group which is often linked to crime.

“Through the initiative by CAT, it will provide opportunities for youths to know and understand the dangers and implications of their involvement in crime,” he said in a statement at the launch of CAT which was held in conjunction with National Youth Day here yesterday.

At the function, Hishammuddin and Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek witnessed the signing of an instrument of collaboration to implement CAT between Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar and the Youth and Sports Ministry.

Hishammuddin said that under the programme, the Youth and Sports Ministry would carry out various activities, like Crime Awareness Team leadership courses, Safety and crime-Prevention campaign and promotions through Info On Wheels and Outreach to Hot Spots.

He said the programmes would expose youths to issues on crime prevention from inputs and information provided by the police, Malaysian Crime Prevention Foundation and the Civil Defence Department.

“This effort is hoped will make youths to be the eyes and ears for the relevant authorities, as well as to provide guidance and help their friends who are involved in street crime,” he added.

He said youths who are keen to join CAT can do so by filling the registration form which can be downloaded at www.2-U.com.my or at the State Youth and Sports Department or the Youth and Sports offices in their respective districts. — Bernama

Police to review initiatives to reduce crime rate — IGP
Posted on May 30, 2011, Monday
http://www.theborneopost.com/2011/05/30/police-to-review-initiatives-to-reduce-crime-rate-—-igp/

KUALA LUMPUR: The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) will review all its initiatives to reduce the crime rate to make a success of the ‘Crime Awareness Team (CAT)’ programme which targets youths for crime prevention, said Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar.

He said initiatives like community-oriented policing, school relations officers and Rakan Cop would be made to make a bigger impact on youths so that that they were more aware of the need to preserve security and harmony in the country.

“PDRM will also be directly involved in helping the Youth and Sports Ministry implement activities formulated for this purpose, including courses on CAT leadership and programmes like ‘Info on Wheels’, crime hotspots, CAT@Community and interactive camps on CAT leadership at the national level,” he said in a statement here yesterday.

Praising the CAT initiative, he said besides existing initiatives, PDRM in collaboration with the Home Ministry and other related agencies would formulate strategies and activities that would be beneficial to the 10 million youths in the country.

He said PDRM would also give added emphasis on crime prevention strategies involving youths in crime hotspots by monitoring crime trends and taking appropriate measures to nip problems in the bud.

Besides these, Ismail said PDRM infrastructure capabilities especially in terms of information communication technology would be expanded so that it became the main platform for youths to channel information related to crime prevention.

“The technology available now can assist PDRM in responding faster and more effectively in crime prevention. Youths are encouraged to interact with PDRM through Facebook and PDRM’s website,” he said.

CAT is an initiative launched on Friday under the government’s National Key Result Areas. — Bernama

Crime rate has gone down, says Muhyiddin
Monday June 6, 2011
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/6/6/nation/8844763&sec=nation

KUALA LUMPUR: Statistics show that the national crime rate has dropped and the public perception of the police force has improved.

The overall crime rate dropped 15% last year, with street crime decreasing by 35%, compared to the year before, revealed Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

The reduction followed measures implemented under the National Key Results Area.

The public’s fear about crime dropped to 52.8% last year from 58.5% the year before, he said after visiting the Dang Wangi police station, one of the stops during his walkabout in the city yesterday.

Muhyiddin went on a walkabout to several areas in the city to meet the people and better understand their needs.

He kicked off his walkabout by having breakfast with over 2,000 people at the Batu parliamentary constituency.

“I am here to listen to the problems and issues faced by the residents so that the Government can help find ways to solve them,” he said.

He presented RM159,500 in contributions to 255 NGOs in the constituency.

Later, he continued his walkabout in several residential areas in Kampung Baru.

In Kg Pindah, Muhyiddin inspected a 1m-deep sinkhole on Jalan Syed Mahadi and announced a RM300,000 allocation to Kumpulan Ikram Sdn Bhd to look into what caused it.

At the Jalan Tun Razak flats, Muhyiddin said RM500,000 was approved to repair the road while another RM450,000 was allocated to repaint seven blocks.

Muhyiddin also went to a restaurant to listen to the grouses of 30 taxi drivers and attended prayers at the National Mosque.

At the Lembah Pantai constituency, he told the crowd to choose wisely in the next general election.

“Make a wise decision and choose a party that can solve problems and help develop the country,’’ he added.

Yesterday’s one-day visit to the Federal Territory was part of Barisan Nasional’s ongoing campaign to go down to the ground in each state to listen to the people.

Three ‘executed’ while kneeling before cops, says lawyer

UPDATED @ 04:41:03 PM 09-06-2011

By Melissa Chi
The Malaysian Insider

June 09, 2011PETALING JAYA, June 9 — Post-mortem reports on three youths showed they were kneeling when they were shot by policemen last year, a legal rights group said today.

Lawyers for Liberty (LFL) claimed today that the three were executed.

Human rights lawyer and LFL co-ordinator N. Surendran (picture) told reporters at the PKR headquarters here that according to the reports received two days ago, the police did not fatally shoot the three victims in self-defence as claimed.

“Based on scientific findings, the police version is false. The police have lied.

“The police version says that they were rushed with parangs and therefore they were shot,” he said.

Muhammad Hanafi Omar, 22, Muhammad Shamil Hafiz Shapiei, 15, and Hairul Nizam Tuah, 20, were gunned down by the police after a high-speed car chase in the early morning of November 13 last year in Glenmarie, Shah Alam.

The police claimed they had shot the suspects in self-defence when they charged at the officers with machetes at the end of a pre-dawn car chase.

Selangor acting police chief Datuk A. Thaiveegan had reportedly defended his officers’ actions by describing the three dead as “seasoned criminals” who were allegedly involved in at least three armed robberies in Selangor the week prior to their shooting.

According to the forensic report on Shamil, he had two wounds consistent with gunshot wounds, the first injury mark on the forehead, and the second, on the right side of the chest.

“Both gunshot wounds entered 45 degrees into the back and right side of the body. There were no signs of self-defence,” the report said, adding that there was gunpowder residue on the chest wound.

According to the chemist report, there was also gunpowder residue on the victim’s jacket.

As for Hairul, the cause of death was gunshot injuries to the head and chest.

‘“Post-mortem examination showed that he received two shots, one at the left side of the head and exit at the right side of the head. The other shot was on the front part of the left side of the chest and exit at the back of the right side of the chest.

“The weapon used was from a single-fired rifled weapon such as a pistol. There was no evidence to show that the weapon was fired during contact or at near distance,” it said.

“It shows clearly that Shamil Hafiz was kneeling or squatting when the shots were fired from a higher direction. Only that explains why it was 45 degrees,” he said.

As for Hairul Nizam, he said according to the doctor who examined his body, the bullet track was directed “inwards, downwards, and to the right”.

“Again, Hairul must have been kneeling and the shot came from top. So, that means they were arrested, taken into custody and then executed. Scientific evidence is clear,” he said.

Surendran said the police testimony is dubious, as supported by the post-mortem report.

“If the police are rushing from the front, how can the bullet enter the side of the head. So the medical evidence is completely contradictory to what the police claim and we’re talking about Datuk A. Thaiveegan, acting police chief, unless the bullets can bend and hit the head,” he said.

Although Hanafi Omar’s post-mortem report has not been received yet, there was a visual identification made when the body was seen by the family.

He said there were two shots — to the side of the head and one to the torso — and just like Hairul Nizam, the shot entered from the side of the head.

“The clear scenario that emerges is all three were arrested or were taken into custody. They were then made to kneel, whatever it was, at a level lower than the shooters. They were then shot, executed by the police officers,” he said.

Man says held three nights for not wearing seat-belt

Boo Su-Lyn
The Malaysian Insider

PETALING JAYA, June 11 — A bank manager accused the Malacca police today of detaining him for three nights in a lock-up for not wearing a seat-belt while driving.

Edmund Hiew, 26, admitted that he did not wear a seat-belt when arrested while driving four friends in Malacca last month.

He said the police then put him in a lock-up after accusing him of trying to obstruct them from carrying out their duties.

“I asked them what did I do that could be classified as obstructing a civil servant from carrying out his duty, but they did not want to tell,” Hiew told reporters today.

Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng, who is a lawyer, said police cannot arrest anyone for failing to wear a seat-belt.

“Until now, he (Hiew) has not been charged. He has been released without condition,” said Lim at a joint press conference today with Hiew and DAP publicity chief Tony Pua.
“The only offence he committed was (getting) a traffic summons for not wearing a seat-belt,” the lawyer added.

Hiew said he was “shocked” when he found out in the magistrate court on May 29, after spending the night before in the police lock-up, that he was accused of violating section 186 of the Penal Code.

“I was accused...of obstructing a civil servant from carrying out his duties by scolding a police sergeant ‘Lu apa kuasa mau ambik gua punya IC dan lesen’ (What powers do you have to take my IC and license?),” said Hiew, adding that he was only released on May 31.

The young man today denied saying those words and pointed out that he had given his identity card and driving license to the police.

Lim said the police had abused their powers by not informing Hiew the grounds of his arrest.

“The police (also) has to tell him he has the right to see a lawyer,” said the Segambut MP, referring to section 28A of the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC).

Section 28A(2) states that “a police officer shall, before commencing any form of questioning or recording of any statement from the person arrested, inform the person that he may...communicate or attempt to communicate and consult with a legal practitioner of his choice”.

Hiew, who is a DAP member, said he was not beaten up by the police or received threats of physical abuse.

Pua said it was a “clear-cut case of abuse of power”.

“An independent body must be set up to ensure such abuse of power doesn’t happen anymore,” said the Petaling Jaya Utara MP.

KK police nab four over illegal cyber gambling

http://www.theborneopost.com/2011/06/11/kk-police-nab-four-over-illegal-cyber-gambling/

KOTA KINABALU: Four people were separately arrested by police for involvement in illegal cyber gambling.

City police chief ACP Ahmad Sofi Zakaria said a team of police from the Karamunsing police headquarters carried out a raid on a premises in Lintas Plaza, Luyang on June 4 around 7.45pm.

“During the raid police confiscated 15 monitors, 15 CPUs, 15 keyboards, 13 mouses, a wifi-modem, a calculator, a log book, two telephones and RM270 cash,” he told reporters at a press conference at the city police headquarters in Karamunsing here yesterday.

Ahmad Sofi said a 37-year-old local man, believed to be the owner of the premises, was detained to facilitate police investigation which is framed under Section 4B(a) of the Common Gaming House Act 1953.

He said 15 minutes later, police once again raided another premises at Jalan Padang Merdeka in Bandaran Berjaya, here on suspicious of running an illegal cyber gambling outlet.

Police confiscated eight monitors, eight CPUs, eight keyboards, eight mouses, a calculator and RM27 cash, he said. Police detained three people, including the premises caretaker, aged 34 to 49, to facilitate investigation which is framed under Section 4B of the same Act.

KUALA LUMPUR: Crime prevention efforts will be more efficient and resilient through the "crime prevention through environmental design" (CPTED) concept, said Malaysian Crime Prevention Foundation vice-chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.

Under CPTED, public facilities such as overhead bridges and parks would be upgraded to become more people-friendly.

"For example, advertisements or billboards on overhead bridges will not be allowed to block the walkways.

"This way, the view of pedestrians using the bridges will not be obstructed. They will be highly visible."

Stressing that crime prevention efforts should not only come from the police alone, Lee said police patrols had always been the best way to curb crime "but it is impossible to place officers in every corner".

"The public should not depend only on police. They have to be conscious of their own safety."

He added that efforts like building barricades along pedestrian lanes by the local authorities were also helpful in minimising street crimes.

However, proper planning was inevitable in reducing crime.

On Thursday, Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Chor Chee Heung announced that pedestrian walkways would be built further from roads starting next month as part of efforts to combat street crime.

He had added that the ministry would install more streetlights and traffic mirrors in crime-prone areas nationwide under a RM64 million project.

A City Hall source said snatch theft cases had dropped in the past three years after the installation of closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras in busy streets such as Jalan Masjid India.

Housewife Siti Zabadh Ahmad, 55, said surveillance cameras made shoppers like her feel safer.

In Petaling Jaya, Section 5 residents' association president Mohamed Rafiq Fazaldin hailed the CPTED move, saying it would benefit all segments of the society.

"However, the project should be awarded to professional service providers who can provide quality service."

Rafiq also said snatch thefts and daylight robberies in his area had decreased by 50 per cent compared with three years ago, partly due to the formation of security units initiated by the 20 residents' associations in Petaling Jaya.

"Lack of financial support, however, has hampered or delayed our plans to do better to reduce crime."

Taman Yarl residents' association president Dr Rajeswari Nagaraja said "impromptu, short-term solutions will not solve crime-related problems".

"I am not convinced yet that pedestrian lanes equipped with railings and CCTVs at crime hotspots will be effective in curbing crime."

She added that an in-depth study would help to determine the contributing factors behind crime, such as residential population, poverty level, age composition of population and the presence of illegal immigrants in an area.

"The government needs to look at a bigger picture and consider a cost-effective plan that can be carried out in stages."

Dr Rajeswari also said flyers with information on crime prevention, together with hotline numbers, should be distributed to raise awareness among residents.

"At the end of the day, everyone just wants to return home to a safe environment."

Indonesian envoy praises Malaysia’s handling of housemaid abuse case
Posted on June 10, 2011, Friday
http://www.theborneopost.com/2011/06/10/indonesian-envoy-praises-malaysia’s-handling-of-housemaid-abuse-case/

KUALA LUMPUR: Indonesian Ambassador to Malaysia Tan Sri Prof Da’i Bachtiar commended Malaysian police yesterday for their handling of the Indonesian housemaid abuse case.

The police were efficient and credible, he said, and hoped that the judgement to follow would be “transparent and appropriate” to prevent any adverse effects on relations between Malaysia and Indonesia.

“We express our appreciation to the Malaysian government because the police had been quick to investigate. We realise that crimes can happen anywhere.

“But what is important is that the offender is punished according to his crime,” he told reporters after calling on Information, Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim at his office in Angkasapuri.

The call was in conjunction with the end of his three-year tenure.

Another envoy making a farewell call was Singapore High Commissioner to Malaysia Datuk T Jasudasen, who has served in this country for five years.

Da’i hoped that the most recent case, involving the death of an Indonesian housemaid, Isti Komariyah, 26, would be appropriately handled.

He said the incident was especially regrettable because it occurred just after the two countries signed a memorandum of understanding in May lifting a two-year freeze on the recruitment of Indonesian housemaids.

Jesudasen said that relations between Singapore and Malaysia had improved a lot in the last five years.

Singapore was very keen to build on its relationship with Malaysia, he said, and added: “The more we cooperate the more we can win together,” he said. — Bernama

KUCHING: Police have assured the public that measures were being taken to address the issue of street crime in the district following the recent spike in snatch thefts and roadside robberies.

State CID chief Huzir Mohamed said the police were acutely aware that the frequency of such incidents had risen sharply over the past two months, and had taken steps to arrest the increase.

“The OCPD has been directed to take preventive measures such as conducting the ‘Ops Payung’, which is found to have a positive effect in reducing street crime, as well as setting a special CID team to address the issue,” he said during a press conference here yesterday.

Ops Payung is a police operation where personnel are stationed under makeshift umbrellas in strategic ‘hot spots’ in the city to create a visible presence that will deter would-be criminals from striking.

When asked, Huzir said the problem of snatch thefts and roadside robbery appeared to be endemic in Kuching only, with only a fraction of such cases reported in Sibu, Miri and Bintulu.

He revealed that there were 378 reported street crimes throughout Sarawak between January and June 12 this year, which was a decline of 201 cases, or 34.72 per cent, when compared to the same period last year.

He also disclosed that police had arrested a gang comprising six local men, aged in their 30s, since last Friday for involvement in several snatch theft cases.

One of the suspects, he added, had four previous arrest records for similar crimes. The arrests led to the recovery of a number of mobile phones, SIM cards, a gold bracelet, digital cameras and a motor green card.

One of the recovered SIM cards has been positively identified as belonging to a 49-year-old woman, who was robbed and slashed recently at Ban Hock Road while walking to her workplace.

Despite the arrests, Huzir said street crimes continued to occur in Kuching over the past two days which showed that there were still more suspects who have not been caught.

He advised mobile phone shop owners to be wary when approached by anyone intending to sell so-called ‘second-hand’ phones as the devices might be stolen property, and urged them to photocopy the sellers’ MyKad to help police track them down in the event that the phones were stolen.

However, he warned the police would not hesitate to take action against the owners of mobile phone shops or computer outlets if they were found to be knowingly buying stolen goods and reselling them for a quick profit.

In a related matter, district police personnel arrested three men in their 30s yesterday in connection with a string of recent snatch thefts and house breaking incidents in the city.

Acting on a tip-off, police raided two houses in Taman Malihah and a third in Taman Sukma where they recovered handbags, mobile phones, SIM cards, computer keyboards and other items.

In addition, they also seized a motorcycle and several false licence plates, along with a number of wigs, which are thought to have been used by the suspects to disguise themselves during the commissioning of their crimes.

The suspects were also believed to be drug addicts after drug paraphernalia was found in one of the houses.

Police have detained the men for further investigation to establish if there were also others involved with them in committing the crimes.

Police have new lead on website hacking case
Posted on June 17, 2011, Friday
http://www.theborneopost.com/2011/06/17/police-have-new-lead-on-website-hacking-case/

KUALA LUMPUR: Police have a fresh lead into those responsible for hacking several official government and private sector websites, said Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Khalid Abu Bakar.

However, he declined to comment further in order to allow investigations to be carried out smoothly.

“It’s still too early for us to reveal who is involved. However, the police will continue to assist the Malaysian Communications And Multimedia Commission (MCMC) in the matter.

“If investigations reveal that there is a criminal motive, we will propose to the MCMC to block their websites,” he told a news conference after attending a National Defence Fund cheque presentation ceremony at the Federal police headqaurters here yesterday.

A group of cyber criminals known as Dragon Force Malaysia managed to hack the websites of the Polytechnic Studies Department, Higher Education Department and a private tourism portal, early Wednesday morning.

The cyber attacks interrupted the www.politeknik.gov.my and www. tourmalaysia.com.my, owned by Impressions Holidays & Resort Sdn Bhd, for 13 hours until 1pm Wednesday.

Another group of hackers dubbed Anonymous had also threatened to hack government websites under Operation Malaysia at 3.30am yesterday. — Bernama

Identities of Malaysian hackers given to the police, says Fadillah
Sunday June 19, 2011
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/6/19/nation/20110619195901&sec=nation

KUCHING: A number of Malaysian hackers involved in attacks on more than 200 websites since last week have been identified.

Deputy Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Fadillah Yusof said yesterday that their identities had been forwarded to the police.

Fadillah conceded that the attacks were a lesson for the Government on cyber security.

He declined to say how many hackers had been exposed or whether they would face prosecution.

“Please don't do this. Let us work together to develop a safer space in the cyber world,” Fadillah said.

Since the pre-dawn attacks began six days ago, many public and private sectors websites have been compromised.

Two days ago, the Ministry announced that it had traced about 90% of the attacks to Malaysian addresses.

Speaking to reporters here on Sunday, Fadillah confirmed that no more websites would be blocked by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) for now.

“Our policy is that we are free. We won't censor unless you breach the law,” he said.

A loose grouping of international hackers calling themselves Anonymous orchestrated their Operation Malaysia after MCMC blocked 10 websites, including those that accommodate illegal movie, music and software file-sharing.

Although Malaysia is their latest target, Anonymous's notoriety includes bringing down the computer systems of Paypal, after the online payment company suspended donations to Wikileaks, and causing a YouTube “porn day” and defacing the websites of religious cult Scientology.

The group claims that it is anti-censorship and its hackers hack not for financial gains but to challenge cyber-vulnerability.

Asked whether the group's intention was not all bad, as its hackers had exposed weaknesses that needed improving, Fadillah said: “Well, in a way, yes. But they also deny people their rights, information and service from our websites.

“What is more important is the awareness and we have to be more prepared. Cyber threats are real, so we've got to keep updating ourselves. We've got to be careful about our information content,” he said.

Fadillah also said the Government also had the responsibility to protect the rights of content producers.

The initial blocking of the ten websites was to prevent people in the entertainment and software industries from losing a big chunk of their revenue to piracy.

“Stakeholders in these industries had lodged complaints that their rights were being infringed upon. We have a system. It can't be free for all online. Since there were complaints, once they were proven, we had to take action. We respect all. Democracy is about freedom, but freedom has its limits,” he added.

Fadillah was speaking to reporters after a joint Gawai, Mothers Day and Fathers Day lunch by the Sarawak Bumiputra Disabled People's Association.

This case is fishy.............

Court clears ex-cop Ramli Yusoff of power abuse

June 20, 2011
The Malaysian Insider

KUALA LUMPUR, June 20 — Former Sabah police chief Datuk Ramli Yusoff was cleared by the Court of Appeal today of power abuse, four years after being charged for using a police helicopter for personal reasons.

The court's decision means that Ramli (picture) — once a top contender for the police force’s highest post with Tan Sri Musa Hassan who finally won the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) hat — can no longer be prosecuted over the case.

A three-man Bench led by Court of Appeal judge Datuk Sulong Matjeraie, which sat in Kota Kinabalu, unanimously agreed to uphold the High Court’s decision to acquit Ramli when they struck out the Attorney-General’s appeal.

The case had started in the Sessions Court, which also ruled Ramli innocent without his defence being called.

Ramli had been indicted on charges of abusing his position as Sabah police commissioner when he flew then Brigadier-General Mohamad Yasin Yahya aboard a Royal Malaysian Police Cessna Caravan helicopter on June 15, 2007 to survey two plots of land in Ulu Tungku, Lahad Datu.

The ex-cop, who was also once director of the Kuala Lumpur Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID), was acquitted in the Sessions Court last year on three counts of failing to declare his assets and breaching the law preventing public servants from being involved in private businesses.

Both cases are still being appealed in the High Court.

Malaysia’s best-paid criminal lawyer, Datuk Seri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, represented Ramli in court today while government lawyer Ahmad Bache stood for the prosecution.

Malaysia police hold dozens ahead of opposition rally
2011/06/26
http://www.nst.com.my/nst/articles/Malaysiapoliceholddozensaheadofoppositionrally/Article/

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian police have arrested dozens of people planning to build up support ahead of a mass rally for electoral reforms, activists said Sunday.

Police have held some 70 people since Friday, mainly members of the opposition Socialist Party of Malaysia, and stopped at least one talk aiming to whip up backing for the rally planned for July 9.

Government leaders and police have warned people not to promote the event, to be held by activists and opposition parties in the capital Kuala Lumpur, deeming it illegal because it has not been sanctioned by police.

Two buses were stopped in northern and southern Malaysia on Saturday on their way to gatherings for the party’s weekend campaign, said party media coordinator Y. Kohila.

The campaign is calling for an end to the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition’s five-decade rule, and aims to drum up support for the upcoming rally, Kohila said.

Most of those arrested were released after questioning but 31 people are still being detained in northern Penang state, Kohila said.

Six others were briefly detained Saturday in Johor state in the south for handing out leaflets about the rally. A federal police official confirmed that several people were questioned, but could not immediately give further details.

Prime Minister Najib Razak on Sunday called on the opposition to fight him at the polls rather than on the street, dismissing claims of election irregularities, according to The Star online.

“Barisan does not manipulate the election. If we do, why should we want to lose four states to the opposition,” he was quoted as saying. “Do not create chaos just because you want power. If there is chaos, then (the organisers) will be held responsible,” he said.

The opposition has ruled four of the country’s 13 states since making major inroads during the last general election in 2008. The next general election is widely expected to be called within a year.

Federal police chief Ismail Omar has also called for the rally to be cancelled, saying it “can cause tension among the people”, according to national news agency Bernama.

But K. Arumugam from electoral campaigners Bersih said the group reflected the people’s wish for changes such as an end to allegedly widespread vote-buying, and longer campaign periods.

“We are committed to proceed with the Bersih rally,” he told AFP. “We are really trying to organise a proper, clean and peaceful rally... I don’t understand why the government is so scared.”

The youth wing of the ruling United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) and protest group Perkasa, which promotes ethnic Malay rights, have said they will hold counter-protests on July 9 to support the government.

Bersih drew some 30,000 people to a July 2007 rally which became the biggest in a decade, but was stopped with water cannon and tear gas. -- AFP

Kit Siang: Cops violated parliamentary privileges

By Clara Chooi
The Malaysian Insider

June 28, 2011

KUALA LUMPUR, June 28 — DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang today accused the police of violating parliamentary privileges when they appeared in the House this morning to record statements from two opposition MPs on the Bersih rally.
The senior parliamentarian said he had never before witnessed such an incident since he became an MP in 1969.

“I am shocked and outraged that the police have shown up in Parliament today to record statements from Pakatan Rakyat (PR) parliamentarians - Azmin Ali (PKR - Gombak) and Mohd Firdaus Jaafar (PAS – Jerai).

“This is the first time within my memory as an MP since 1969 of any policeman invading the parliamentary precincts to take statements from any MP,” he wrote in a statement today.

Lim (picture) called on Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia to tell Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar to stop his men from repeating the incident in the future.

He also urged the House’s Rights and Privileges Committee to convene an emergency meeting to condemn the purported “violation” by the police.

“MPs from both sides of the divide should also raise the issue of police violating parliamentary privileges and precincts, invading the privacy of Parliament to take police statements from MPs, at Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) and International Parliamentary Union (IPU) conferences to compare parliamentary practices in Malaysia with Commonwealth countries as well as with the rest of the world,” he said.

Earlier this morning, Azmin and Mohd Firdaus were questioned by the police at the Parliament lobby over their ceramah speeches made earlier this month where the purportedly spoke about the upcoming Bersih rally.

Azmin said the appearance of the police in Parliament had been unexpected but Mohd Firdaus admitted to reporters that he had invited them to meet him in the House.

When approached today, PR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the police had shown “disrespect” to the duties of the MPs by appearing in Parliament to record their statements.

“But in this 1 Malaysia, anything can happen so it does not surprise me,” he said.

Anwar courts cops ahead of Bersih march

By Shannon Teoh
The Malaysian Insider

June 28, 2011

KUALA LUMPUR, June 28 — Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim absolved the police forces’s rank and file from blame after a Umno youth mob gathered at PKR’s headquarters last night, and allegedly threatened to burn it down.

The PKR de facto leader told reporters today that recent events proved that the police will not act without prior orders from Umno leaders.

But he pointed out that the police were more than capable of keeping the peace.

“They threatened to burn our building, made death threats and the police were unable to do anything. The problem is Umno’s political interference,” he said after being questioned by the police in relation to the July 9 Bersih rally for electoral reforms.

The mercury has risen ahead of the July 9 march, with the Bersih group and both Umno Youth and Perkasa — who have planned counter rallies — refusing to back down despite the government warning of stern action should any of the groups insist on going ahead without police permits.

Up to 600 Umno Youth members had arrived at the PKR headquarters late last night, just a few doors away from the Tropicana police station, claiming that a death threat sent to Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin recently came from the opposition party, which denied the allegation.

Anwar added that he told senior police officers this evening after being investigated for sedition and planning to hold an illegal gathering, that “in the end, people will attack the police, say they are unfair and double standard.”

The opposition leader added that “it is the image and ability of police that will be affected but it is the duty of the public to defend the police.”

Pakatan Rakyat (PR) hopes the demonstration will generate momentum ahead of a general elections expected within the year.

The first Bersih rally in 2007 saw up to 50,000 people take to the streets of Kuala Lumpur before they were dispersed by police armed with tear gas and water cannons.

The demonstration has been partly credited for Pakatan Rakyat’s record gains in Election 2008, where the opposition pact swept to power in five states and won 82 parliamentary seats.

IGP: Police will use all laws available to prevent July 9 rallies
By AUSTIN CAMOENS Updated: Wednesday June 29, 2011 MYT 5:45:52 PM

KUALA LUMPUR: Police have warned that they will use all laws available to prevent the July 9 rallies, saying they have information of foreign-element involvement to create chaos.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar issued the warning to groups, regardless of their political affiliations, who planned to defy police orders and hold the rallies, adding that the police's interest was to ensure public order and safety.

"Intelligence reveals certain quarters, including foreign elements, attempting to seize the opportunity and exploit the situation.

"There is a possibility that should the rally proceed, it could create chaos, destruction to property, injury and even the possibility of loss of lives," he told a press conference at Bukit Aman here Tuesday.

The top cop said to date, police have arrested 101 people nationwide for allegedly inciting the public to join in the rallies.

He said 45 were still being detained to facilitate investigations, following 1,830 reports lodged by the public opposing the rallies.

Ismail said if such a situation was not arrested immediately, it could pose a public order situation as well as a threat to national security.

He also said police would continue to take action against those distributing leaflets, T-shirts or any other method to incite the public into participating in the illegal rallies.The Royal Malaysia Police (Abbreviation: RMP; Malay: Polis Diraja Malaysia, PDRM) is a part of the security forces structure in Malaysia. The force is a centralized organization with responsibilities ranging from traffic control to intelligence gathering. The police force is led by an Inspector-General of Police (IGP). The constitution, control, employment, recruitment,fund, discipline, duties and powers of the police force is specified and governed by the Police Act 1967.

SUBANG JAYA: Police have arrested 16 men believed to have incited the public to join the illegal assembly to be held on July 9.

Selangor police chief Datuk Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah said however all of those who were detained under Section 27(5) of the Police Act for organising an illegal assembly, were released on police bail.

“These men were arrested around Shah Alam, Gombak, Klang North and the latest arrest involving eight people, were arrested at Taman Kosas in Ampang. Among the incitements were wearing and selling yellow T-shirts,” he told reporters after handing over certificates of appreciation to individuals who successfully foiled snatch theft incidents around Subang here, yesterday.

Tun Hisan said the arrest of the 16 men were conducted in accordance with Section 105 of the Penal Code to prevent crimes.

“It doesn’t mean that the police would arrest anybody wearing yellow attire. We have our procedures to arrest people. When we have reasonable suspicions, credible information or reasonable information then only an arrest can be done,” he said.

He said police would not stop any party from applying for assembly permits but they had to consider many aspects first especially security before approving them. — Bernama

Police probing Parti Sosialis Malaysia from several angles

http://www.theborneopost.com/2011/06/29/police-probing-parti-sosialis-malaysia-from-several-angles/

KUALA LUMPUR: The police are looking at several angles in their investigation into Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) for allegedly trying to rekindle communist ideology in the country, CID director Datuk Seri Mohd Bakri Zinin said yesterday.

He said the police were also taking into account the materials seized from the 31 PSM activists arrested by the police on Saturday.

The case was being investigated under Section 122 of the Penal Code pertaining to the collecting of men, arms or ammunition with the intention of waging war against the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, a Ruler or Yang Dipertua Negeri, he said.

Mohd Bakri said the police would take stern action to stop any act which violated the law.

On Saturday, the police arrested 31 PSM activists at the Sungai Dua toll plaza in Kepala Batas.

“They (the activists) had made much preparation, such as distributing leaflets and wearing T-shirts propagating the ideology with the aim of inciting the people to hate the government,” he told reporters after attending the third “Ops Lusuh” meeting with Celcom Axiata Berhad to identify measures to beat vandalism.

“The act by the activists can spark chaos in the country. We will strive to resolve the case quickly,” he said.

They were travelling in a tour bus, apparently to distribute leaflets on the planned July 9 illegal assembly. — Bernama

Pakatan extends olive branch to police once more

By Yow Hong Chieh
The Malaysian Insider

June 30, 2011SHAH ALAM, June 30 — Pakatan Rakyat (PR) again made overtures to the police last night, with PAS deputy president Mohamad Sabu assuring Royal Malaysian Police personnel they will keep their jobs if the opposition comes to federal power.

He pointed out that it was dangerous for the police to back the increasingly weak Barisan Nasional (BN) “regime” but said none of them would lose their jobs if PR forms the government after the next general election.

“We want all police personnel to carry out their duties under our rule if BN and Umno lose in the election,” he told nearly 2,000 supporters at Stadium Malawati here.

Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim absolved the police from blame yesterday after an Umno Youth mob gathered at PKR headquarters in Petaling Jaya on Tuesday night and allegedly threatened to burn it down.

The PKR de facto leader said the police were more than capable of keeping the peace and would have acted if not for political interference from Umno.

Mohamad (picture), more popularly known as Mat Sabu, reminded the police it was their sworn duty to protect the people as well as the Constitution and not BN.

“When elections are fair, the ones who have cause for worry will surely be Umno and Barisan Nasional. Am I right? So why is it the police worried for them?” he said.

He further urged the police to ensure Bersih 2.0 is carried out smoothly to prove to the public that they were not being used by the ruling coalition to maintain its grip on power.

The former Bersih deputy chairman stressed that “not one flowerpot will be knocked down, not one brick will be thrown” if the police helped the election watchdog’s supporters march to Istana Negara to deliver a memorandum to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

He pointed out that in “less primitive” Indonesia, demonstrations occurred almost on a weekly basis but never got out of hand because the police there were on hand to assist the people exercise their right to assemble.

The Jakarta police chief, for instance, will appear on television to inform the public of a protest in the capital the next day and the route it will take, Mohamad said.

“‘I hope they (protestors) will come out early.’ This is the Jakarta police chief... And us? ‘Those who leave their homes we will arrest earlier’,” he said to laughter and jeers from the crowd.

PR hopes the July 9 Bersih 2.0 rally to demand free and fair elections will generate momentum ahead of snap polls expected within a year.

The police, however, have alleged that the rally is being masterminded by foreign parties who wish to see chaos in the country and have promised to crack down on Bersih supporters if they go ahead with the march

Malaysia: A police state

By Tommy Thomas
July 06, 2011 | The Malaysian Insider

JULY 6 — Death Threats. Bomb Threats. Warning on Revocation of Citizenship. Preventive detention. Arrest of hundreds for wearing Yellow T-Shirts. Banning of Organisations. Prohibition of Peaceful Marches.

Is one describing Burma? Or Zimbabwe? No: this is Malaysia in July 2011, in its 54th year of independence.

Has paranoia gripped the decision-making elite in Kuala Lumpur? But for its grave repercussions, one would have to laugh at the disproportionate overreaction and incompetence of government agencies in recent weeks.
Has Malaysia become a police state, with no place for the Rule of Law? So what is the problem that has attracted the ugly, heavy hand of the Executive.

It is only a call by ordinary voices for electoral reform so that future elections are conducted freely and fairly, that is, on a level playing field, with no political party or candidate having an in-built advantage over its rival parties and candidates, very much, like all runners in a 100 metres race starting at the same point with the same distance to run.

Is that not a laudable objective that should receive the support of everyone who truly believes in the democratic process?

When Malaya achieved Merdeka in 1957, it chose the parliamentary democracy style of government under a constitutional monarchy, with the Federal Constitution as the supreme law. In order to elect a government, general elections are to be held at least one in every 5 years under the supervision of what was intended to be an independent, impartial Elections Commission to act as a neutral referee or umpire in electoral contests.

In the actual conduct of general and bye-elections since 1957, the Election Commission has failed miserably, with the result that no right thinking person would describe it as being fair or neutral in the discharge of its duties. The actions of governmental agencies such as widespread gerrymandering of constituencies, the total domination by one political party of television, radio and print media, a brief campaign period of between seven to 10 days, the blatant granting of gifts, money and other benefits to voters, other corrupt electoral practices and the abuse of postal ballots have resulted in the ruling coalition having a tremendously unfair advantage whenever elections are held.

Accordingly, by any yardstick, elections have never been conducted in Malaysia in a fair and free manner, consistent with the spirit of true parliamentary democracy.

It is against this background that Bersih, a coalition of organisations interested in electoral reform, announced its decision to organise a peaceful march in the streets of Kuala Lumpur on Saturday, 9th July 2011 to call public attention to the ills of the electoral system, and to present a memorandum to His Majesty, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

Is the Government seriously contending that as a sovereign nation which has enjoyed over 5 decades of independence, Malaysia cannot tolerate or survive the exercise by thousands of its citizens of their entrenched fundamental liberties of free speech, assembly and association on a Saturday morning!

It must be recalled that in the 12-year sunset period of British imperialism over Malaya from 1945 to 1957, the British colonial rulers permitted the holding of public rallies which were brilliantly exploited, first by Umno in 1946 in leading the opposition to the Malayan Union proposal, and subsequently by the Alliance coalition from 1954 to 1957 in its campaign for Merdeka.

Bearing in mind that those rallies, marches, demonstrations and assemblies were held during the Emergency declared to fight the Communist insurrection, and would result in the ending of colonial rule, the British Government did not ban such rallies, even if it was in its self-interest to do so. For Merdeka to be meaningful, surely every Malaysian must enjoy greater and better rights in independent Malaysia in 2011 than his or her forefather enjoyed under colonial rule in 1946!

Demonising Bersih and its outstanding leader of courage and conviction, Ambiga Sreenevasan brings great discredit to the Government. It smacks of a witchunt, McCarthy style. For the Prime Minister to describe Ambiga Sreenevasan as being anti-Islam shows his true commitment to his own 1Malaysia philosophy — it is just window-dressing!!

I know of no law in Malaysia which prohibits a person from wearing yellow clothes. Thus, there is no Colours Act or Clothes Act under our law which empowers the police from arresting persons because of the choice of garment colour. Even totalitarian North Korea does not act in such a high-handed, mean and petty way.

When the streets of Kuala Lumpur are no longer safe with the massive increase of crime, and an apparent breakdown of law and order, the police are allocating their resources to preventing ordinary law-abiding Malaysians from exercising their constitutional rights of free speech, assembly and association.:ohno:

Compounding its mishandling of the entire situation was the abdication by the elected Government of resolving the problem, apart from a crude outright ban against Bersih.

For His Majesty, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, as constitutional monarch, to enter the political fray — probably unprecedented in 54 years — is an indictment of poor governance by the Najib administration. The Prime Minister is elected to lead: what has been displayed hitherto has been dithering leadership reminiscent of the Badawi administration.

The fascist elements of the state, whose main aim in life seems to be to protect and serve the interests of the ruling party, must be reminded that Malaysia does not belong to the Prime Minister. Neither does the nation belong to the political party that happened to win the most seats in the last Parliamentary election in March 2008 thereby forming the government of the day.

Just as the electorate gave it a mandate to rule temporarily, it can withdraw that mandate at the next general elections which must, by law, be called by mid-2013. No political party has a divine right to rule continuously. Malaysia, on the contrary, belongs to the people, whose interests may often not coincide with that of the ruling party.

Not allowing the people of Malaysia to express their opinion on a matter of vital public interest, viz, the electoral system, by assembling peacefully in Kuala Lumpur is wholly unacceptable. It is neither right nor proper.

The behaviour of our leaders indicate that they are desperate to hold on to power by all means, and every measure must be taken by the state to prevent what they perceive as a threat to their own position. It is an iron law of history that besieged, desperate leaders who believe they are indispensible or identify themselves with their countries ultimately lose power: it is always only a matter of time.

I urge my fellow Malaysians to attend the rally on Saturday in droves, and to behave in a peaceful, civilized manner with a single-minded focus on calling for a reform of the badly marred electoral system so structured in favour of one party.

Malaysians must, with pride and dignity, exercise their fundamental rights of free speech, association and assembly on 9th July 2011 so that the executive branch of government can be shown to have totally underestimated the good sense of the people. The shameful conduct of Malaysian politicians and bureaucrats in the past weeks must be wiped clean by the actions of the citizenry on Saturday.

See you there

Khairy says police reigniting tensions with restriction orders

By Shannon Teoh
The Malaysian Insider

July 07, 2011

Khairy: The court order has escalated the situation. Now my supporters, Perkasa supporters and Bersih supporters are all upset.

KUALA LUMPUR, July 7 — Khairy Jamaluddin accused the city police today of reigniting tensions over the Bersih rally by getting a court order barring him and 90 others from entering the city on Saturday.

The Umno Youth chief arrived home from a volunteer mission to Gaza this evening to find himself “outlawed from the city he lives in.”

“Instead of working on a solution they have taken the solution away,” the Rembau MP said of the court order that denies Bersih’s hopes of holding its rally in Stadium Merdeka.

Although Umno Youth and Perkasa had threatened to hold counter-rallies this weekend against the electoral reforms movement, the youth wing had stood down after Bersih accepted the government’s offer to move its street rally to a stadium.

“The court order has escalated the situation. Now my supporters, Perkasa supporters and Bersih supporters are all upset.

“The situation is in limbo. Nobody knows what is next,” he said, adding that the Umno Youth leadership would meet tomorrow morning to discuss its options.

Earlier today, Khairy had posted on micro-blogging site Twitter that he has “just landed back in KL after trying to break Israeli blockade of Gaza only to find that I’ve been blockaded from KL. Excuse me if I say WTF?”

The post drew numerous replies from others, most of whom were as “perplexed” as the first-term MP.

Bersih chief Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan had also questioned the Inspector General of Police’s sincerity in meeting Bersih this afternoon while Kuala Lumpur police obtained court orders to bar leaders of the electoral reforms movement from entering the city this Saturday.

The Bersih chief told The Malaysian Insider that Tan Sri Ismail Omar made no mention of the court order that prevents a whopping 91 persons from the movement, Umno Youth and Perkasa from entering the capital, despite the meeting taking place at the same time the order was sought.

The court order also allows city police to shut down roads, effectively paralysing any attempts to rally on the day.

Bersih had insisted after leaving Bukit Aman today that it will not move its rally away from Stadium Merdeka on Saturday, stating that it was too late for its supporters to change their plans.

It also demanded that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, who proposed on Monday that Bersih move its street march to a stadium, instruct Stadium Merdeka to allow the coalition of 62 NGOs to hold its rally in the historical venue.

The Yang di-Pertuan Agong had stepped in on Sunday to defuse tension by advising the Najib administration and Bersih 2.0 to hold consultations over the issue of free and fair elections.

Despite Bersih meeting Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin on Tuesday and accepting Najib’s offer, the prime minister said yesterday that the now outlawed Bersih would still have to make an official application to the police.

The police have continued to make arrests in connection with the rally, most of which revolving around yellow T-shirts with the word Bersih emblazoned on them in a clampdown that has seen over a hundred arrested in the past two weeks.

Suhakam to probe police action in Bersih rally

By Yow Hong Chieh
The Malaysian Insider

July 14, 2011

KUALA LUMPUR, July 14 — The Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) will hold a public inquiry into alleged police brutalities committed during and before last weekend’s Bersih rally.

Suhakam vice-chairman Datuk Dr Khaw Lake Tee said members of the public and the authorities will be invited to submit their testimonies at the investigation, which she hopes to set up as soon as August.

She added that Suhakam, which sent monitors to observe Saturday’s chaotic rally for free elections, will also rely on its own reports for the probe.

Khaw and Suhakam commissioners Muhamad Sha’ani Abdullah and James Nayagam had earlier heard first-hand accounts from Bersih protesters who claimed they suffered physical and verbal abuse at the hands of the police on Saturday.

Bersih protester Liew Seng Tat, who was part of the group that sought refuge at Tung Shin Hospital, said he saw police officers there kick and step on prone protesters who had already had their wrists secured.

He said the policeman who took him from the hospital to the Pulapol lock-up repeatedly slapped him in the face without provocation or reason, and that he was hit by a baton and punched in the face when passing an FRU line.

Liew said another FRU officer then took a “dirty towel from the street” soaked with chemically-laced water and rubbed into his face.

“I could hear him say, ‘Ambik ni’ (Take this). What followed after that, I don’t know what happened because my face was burning and I couldn’t open my eyes,” he told the three-man Suhakam panel.

Another protester, who only wanted to be known as Arun, said he was beaten by police after trying to intervene in the violent arrest of another protester who did nothing to provoke such a response.

“They pinned me down, they handcuffed me straight away and they whacked the hell out of me,” he said, adding that one policeman had said: “Bunuh dia (Kill him).”

Mohamad told the panel that he was rammed by a police car.
The panel also heard from PAS deputy president Mohamad Sabu, who said he sustained injuries to his right knee when a police vehicle allegedly rammed into the motorcycle he was on.

Mohamad, better known as Mat Sabu, said a police Mitsubishi Pajero stopped on the side of Jalan Bangsar to force him onto the remaining open lane where a police Proton Waja rammed into his motorcycle head-on.

He said two police officers then lifted him up and put him in the back of the Waja, where he was left for “quite some time in pain” before being taken to the Dang Wangi police station to have his injuries looked at.

Mohamad said he was then taken to Kuala Lumpur Hospital, where he was treated for 90 minutes under constant police supervision, before being taken to the Jinjang police station lock-up in an ambulance.

“I was in a considerable amount of pain in lock-up... Based on the pain I was experiencing, I should have been detained at the (hospital) ward,” he said.

Bersih estimates that 50,000 people showed up for the rally while police have said there were only 6,000.

The street demonstration went ahead without police permission, resulting in nearly 1,700 arrests, scores injured and the death of a PKR leader’s husband.

The way the police reacted to a peaceful crowd reminded me that they’re only as competent as the Philippines police in the Honkie hostage shootout. Thanks to Bersih we now know the police aren’t on the people side.

The master and servant switch side, Gov. is a prestige now. They shouldn’t be titled with Datuk and what not, like they are high and mighty stuck up the nose kind of thing. But they’re.

There’re limits to how low we can go when in fact we don’t even need to give way to them. When they do wrong, we tolerate, turn a blind eye, try to adapt, how long do you intend to just let them be? Didn’t they demonstrated over many times their competency.

If you’re living in JB, you should know better they’re a class below their southern counterparts and because its so long over due for me, I think they shld be remove. Bersih did great to expose Umno’s habits of tasteful judgments and way of handling issues.

HK government allow their citizen to march peacefully, why Malaysia government could not permit their citizen to rally as well? Why all the puppet media are not reporting the real issue rather than reporting the fake news?

Doctors say cops fired tear gas into Tung Shin compound

July 13, 2011
The Malaysian Insider

KUALA LUMPUR, July 13 — A group of doctors said today they were prepared to provide sworn affidavits to say that police had fired tear gas and chemical-laced water into the compounds of the Tung Shin and Chinese Maternity Hospitals during the Bersih rally last Saturday.

In a statement tonight, 11 doctors, including some who were at the scene, said they were outraged at the actions of the police in firing tear gas and water cannons without scant regard for the safety of patients and doctors.

“We, the undersigned doctors, wish not to enter into the polemics of the Bersih 2.0 march on 9th July 2011 but would like to clarify the inconvenient truth.

“We are outraged at the incidents, and the subsequent responses from the authorities, to the events where tear gas and chemical-laced water were shot into the compounds of the Tung Shin and Chinese Maternity Hospitals, two adjacent buildings along Jalan Pudu, Kuala Lumpur, with scant regard for the safety of patients, staff and the general public who were at the buildings that afternoon,” the doctors said.

Their statement contradicts that of Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai who had denied the police had shot into the hospital compounds, claiming instead that the wind had blown the gas in. (:lol: what a liar!! Who was he trying to fool??)

Liow also said that shots from the water cannons had only brushed the edges of the hospital walls.

The police have also denied shooting directly into the hospital compounds after protesters had sought refuge there.

The statement tonight by the senior doctors is likely to embarrass the authorities who have claimed minimal force was used.

“Hospitals are considered as safe sanctuaries for all, even during wartime, but these consecrated places of refuge and protection were violated by the defence forces that afternoon. Police even entered the buildings in search of some of these peaceful marchers.

“What was most frightening and witnessed by many was the unprovoked violent assault within the hospital compounds and the apprehension of several protesters who had merely run into the hospitals to seek shelter from the tear gas and the water cannons.

“It is repulsive that the authorities entrusted with policing the nation and protecting the weak and needy, have shamelessly denied publicly, the occurrence of these incidents in spite of countless photo/video and eyewitness accounts of what was evident to all independent observers,” they said.

Yesterday, MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek, a former health minister, said the police had to fire tear gas near Tung Shin Hospital to protect its patients from Bersih 2.0 protesters who had sought refuge there.

The MCA president said the situation should be viewed “in totality”, pointing out that the police would be accused of not doing their job had they decided against dispersing the crowd of protesters that had run into the hospital.

Dr Chua also said it was difficult to determine what exactly transpired at the hospital on Saturday as it was hard to tell the whole story from the photos and videos that have emerged online since then.

The doctors who signed the statement refuting claims by Dr Chua, Liow and the police are:

Dr Ng Kwee Boon — Consultant Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Datin Dr Low Paik See — Consultant Paediatrician

Dato’ Dr Musa Mohd Nordin — Consultant Paediatrician & Neonatologist

Dr Mazeni Alwi — Consultant Paediatric Cardiologist

Dr David Quek — Consultant Cardiologist

Dr Sheikh Johari Bux — Consultant Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Crime rate down in Pahang
Tuesday July 19, 2011
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/7/19/nation/9125526&sec=nation#13110372517481&if_height=304

KUANTAN: There has been a significant reduction in the crime rate in Pahang this year after the police launched its community policing efforts in the state.

State police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Sharifuddin Ab Ghani said the initiative had helped to foster closer cooperation between the public and the police.

“The public are now more alert to crime incidents and they realise that they can play an important role in helping the police to carry out their duties.

“The people have welcomed the presence of more policemen patrolling at many public areas, including housing estates,” he said after launching a community policing tour at the state police headquarters here yesterday.

DCP Sharifuddin also said he was happy to see more people extending their help and working together with the police to combat crime.

KANGAR: The crime rate in Perlis declined by 48 per cent in the past two months, which is a big achievement for the police.

So said newly-appointed state police chief Senior Assistant Commissioner Zull Aznam Haron.

Zull, 56, formerly the deputy state police chief, said the achievement was due to the police's hard work and commitment to combat crime, as well as the public's excellent cooperation.

"I hope the state police will continue to excel at their jobs.

"The public has also played an important role and I thank and urge them to continue to give their full cooperation to the police in combating crime," he said at a press conference after the handing over of duty ceremony at the Perlis police headquarters here, recently.

Also present was Bukit Aman Federal Police Headquarters police secretary Datuk Ghazali Md Amin, a former Perlis state police chief, management department head Superintendent Suressh Kumar Suppiah, Criminal Investigation Department chief Superintendent Nashir Ya, Perlis Special Branch chief Superintendent Abdullah Sani Ahmad, Kangar district police chief Superintendent Abdul Rahman Mohd Noordin, Padang Besar district police chief Superintendent Che Man Md Dros and Arau district police chief Superintendent Mohd Nadzri Hussain.

Zull said the achievement was in line with the government's national target to reduce crime in the country under the National Key Result Areas (NKRA).

However, Zull reminded his officers that there was always room for improvement.

Zull takes over from Datuk Tajudin Md Isa, who has been promoted to Assistant Director 1 at the Federal Commercial Crime Investigation Department at Bukit Aman.

Use hands-on approach, police urged
By MOHD FARHAAN SHAH Wednesday July 20, 2011
http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2011/7/20/southneast/9097417&sec=southneast

JOHOR BARU: Police officers are urged to go back to basic policing in their investigations said outgoing Johor deputy police chief Senior Asst Comm (I) Datuk Jalaluddin Abdul Rahman.

He added that junior officers who hold degrees, took the easier way in investigating such as using technology methods.

“It is different during my time or other seniors officer where we were told to go to the ground to get a more hands on approach to the investigations.

“Many of the young officers seem to forget the basic policing in investigations,” he said at a monthly assembly here.

SAC Jalaluddin, who would be posted to Kelantan by the end of this month as the new police chief, added that utilising technology in solving crimes maybe faster but more hands-on approach is needed.

He said meeting people on the ground would change the perspective of the people towards the force.

“They must also practise the esprit de corps to make sure that Johor would become a safe place to stay and visit.

“The only advice I could only give to young officers is to go on the ground as it would give a good experience which will make them a better police officer,” he said.

In another matter, SAC Jalaluddin said that until June this year, the state crime index has decreased to 89 cases (-0.84%) compared to last year.

“Street crime have fallen to 114 cases or -6.83% while the state police solving rate is 1,950 cases or 18.5%,” he said.

Royal Malaysia Police welcomes trainees at passing out parade
By SEAN YAP Wednesday July 20, 2011
http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2011/7/20/southneast/9118826&sec=southneast

PENGERANG: Some 498 trainees yelled out the police motto: sedia berkhidmat (ready to serve) at their passing out parade under the watchful eyes of their parents and friends.

For many, the event was a culmination of their dreams as they finally became members of the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) after completing their training at the Tanjung Pengelih naval base here.

Former dispatch worker S. Vikram, 22, who won the award for excellence in academics said he wanted to join the police force since he was a child.

“I made sure I paid attention during the classes and lectures and I am very happy to have won the award,” he said.

Another trainee Muhamad Hafiz Muhamad Yatim, who won the award for outdoor training, said a stint at his school’s police cadet had motivated him to serve as a policeman.

“I have always admired the police for their discipline, teamwork and integrity,” he said, adding that he was previously employed as an auxiliary police at Hospital Sultanah Aminah in Johor Baru.

The winner of the overall best trainee award was Yanmolbey Yadut, 24, from Kudat in Sabah.

“I gave my best in the classroom and during training and certainly never expected to win this award out of 498 trainees in our batch,” he said.

Lee Hock Hea, 27, who was one of only two Chinese trainees in the lot, said his friends had tried to talk him out of joining the force when he first told them of his intention.

“But I am always seeking new challenges to better myself, and want to serve the people,” he said. Lee added that although there are few Chinese in the police force, that was not an issue for him as crime fighting is everyone’s responsibility.

Deputy Home Minister Datuk Wira Abu Seman Yusop officiated the ceremony marking the completion of training for the trainees, who were also the first batch under the Blue Ocean Strategy Programme between PDRM and the military.

He advised the budding police officers to be committed, efficient and friendly when serving the people, to show team spirit and not to be individualistic, and to always act in accordance with the law without violating the rights of others.

KUALA LUMPUR: The police probe into the Bersih 2.0 rally is almost complete and the findings will be made public.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar said they would also screen some footage of the rally to the media.

“We expect to screen some videos and pictures of the rally by the end of the week,” he told a press conference at Bukit Aman yesterday.

“There are videos and pictures circulating on the Internet and YouTube which do not portray the exact situation clearly during the rally,” he said, adding that six committees had been set up last week to gather and analyse the content.

Ismail said that police had also interviewed its personnel on duty during the rally as well as members of the public.

It is learnt that the six committees would investigate occurrences at six separate locations within the city.

“We hope that the public will come forward and assist us in conducting our investigations.

“Anyone with video footage or pictures of the rally can forward it to us so that we can conduct a thorough investigation,” he said.

He said the police should not keep the footage for too long until it became a ‘contra element’ for the force.

Rais said the police should welcome Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s suggestion for them to promptly show the footage to counter the opposition’s one-sided view of the incident including alleged police brutality.

Rais was speaking to reporters after officially opening the Mah Peri Orang Asli Cultural Village in Pulau Carey, here, today.

He said the ministry was willing to broadcast the footage for the sake of authenticity and justice.

MIRI: Miri Police launched ‘Ops Lejang’ to put a cap on the rising number of stolen four-wheel drive vehicles.

Nearly 30 such luxury vehicles were stolen from the parking lots of shopping malls here in the last two months.

Miri deputy police chief, Supt Ismail Ideris said police wanted the public to come out with information on any crime within their area.

“Police have set up ‘umbrella beats’ at various locations in the heart of Miri city and shopping malls,” Ismail told members of the press yesterday. He said visitors and tourists could lodge complaints at these beats.

According to Ismail, police received reports of more that 20 four-wheel drive vehicles stolen in the last two months. They are monitoring the situation and believe a group or syndicate is involved in stealing these expensive vehicles.

Meanwhile, the Miri deputy chief urged the public to put extra locks on their vehicles to ensure it was not easily stolen by thieves.

Among those present at the umbrella beat were Miri Police head of administration, Chief Inspector Arman Khan; Central Miri Police officer in-charge Chief Inspector Nagulan Maniam and Sergeant-Major Abdul Aziz.

Police say only fired tear gas, water cannons ‘nearby’ Tung Shin Hospital

By Shazwan Mustafa Kamal
The Malaysian Insider
July 21, 2011

KUALA LUMPUR, July 21 — Police admitted Tung Shin hospital was hit with tear gas canisters and water cannon during the Bersih rally, but denied shooting directly into the compound.

Internal security and public order director Datuk Salleh Mat Rashid said today that shots were only fired “nearby” the hospital compound on July 9, and speculated that the wind caused by the rain probably caused the tear gas and water cannon to enter the hospital compound. :lol:

However this statement flies in the face of various video clips uploaded on the YouTube video-sharing site showing water cannons and tear gas fired into the hospital. :ohno:

“In the event involving the Tung Shin hospital, it cannot be denied that water cannons were sprayed at the alley entrance to Tung Shin Hospital but tear gas was only fired nearby, not directly.

“What happend in Tung Shin Hospital, claims that police used tear gas and water cannons cannot be denied, but it could be caused by the wind,” he told a press conference here. :lol:

Salleh stressed that investigations were still ongoing and assured that immediate action would be taken against any police officer found to have shot tear gas to the hospital compound. :lol: :lol: :lol:

The Health Ministry had ordered an investigation on July 14 after 11 medical specialists wrote to the media, refuting the hospital board and police’s claims that no gas canisters or water cannon were fired directly into the hospital compound.

Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai had initially agreed with the city hospital, but then ordered the probe stating that patient security and hospital safety was paramount.

City police also announced on July 16 that it was looking into the incident which occurred as tens of thousands poured into the streets of the capital, resulting in the death of a protestor, scores injured, and nearly 1,700 arrests.

Police have also been accused of excessive force in crowd dispersal during the rally calling for free and fair elections. Bersih estimated some 50,000 people turned up but police said only 6,000 were there despite a security clampdown in the capital city.

Police clear themselves of brutality, charges Bersih protestors provocative:lol:

By Shazwan Mustafa Kamal
The Malaysian Insider
July 21, 2011

KUALA LUMPUR, July 21 — Six special police teams tasked with investigating its own actions at the July 9 rally concluded that police officers exercised “restraint” and were “hospitable” when dealing with Bersih supporters, Internal security and public order director Datuk Salleh Mat Rashid said today.

He also showed video clips taken by the police as well as “individuals” present that day which “proved” that police officers were patient, and had to deal with “individuals as well as provocative groups.” (I want to see those videos too!!)

The video clips depicted police giving warning shouts to protestors before shooting water cannons or tear gas canisters. One video clip, claimed Salleh showed PKR’s Chua Tian Chang running towards police officers in KL Sentral while another clip angle showed protestors “running” towards a Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) water cannon truck near Dataran Maybank.

“There was provocation by protestors against the police...some protestors ran towards the water cannon truck. Warning calls were given nine times before any action was taken.

“The police acted according to standard operating procedure (sop),” said Salleh.

However, he said the police teams were still investigating the incident at the Tung Shin Hospital where eyewitnesses including medical specialists contradicted official accounts that there were no tear gas or water cannons fired at the hospital along Jalan Pudu.

The police commissioner also showed pictures of Bersih supporters detained at police centres, and stressed that they were treated “excellently.”

“This is hospitality, the police were very pleasant, detainees were given good care, they were given a place to pray..like in Mecca, and transportation services and food was provided.

“Its like attending a kenduri (wedding),” said Salleh.:lol::lol::lol:

The Malaysian Insider reported yesterday that Bersih organisers and independent observers have yet to be called by police for statements or evidence.

The ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition has been put on the defensive over the Bersih rally for the past week as the international community, from Singapore to the UK, criticised the government’s handling of the public dissent.

Bersih estimates that 50,000 people showed up at the July 9 rally for free and fair elections despite efforts to prevent it from taking place while police have said there were only 6,000.

The protest turned chaotic when police fired tear gas and water cannon at thousands of demonstrators, resulting in nearly 1,700 arrests, scores injured and the death of ex-soldier Baharuddin Ahmad, 59.

The government has promised to investigate allegations of police brutality while the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) will hold a separate public inquiry into police conduct during the rally.

PDRM dedah pembohongan

Rakaman video menunjukkan Tian Chua melakukan aksi provokasi terhadap
pihak polis dalam perhimpunan haram Bersih di KL Sentral, 9 Julai lalu.

KUALA LUMPUR 21 Julai - Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) hari ini mendedahkan rakaman video situasi sebenar perhimpunan haram Bersih pada 9 Julai lalu bagi menangkis tohmahan terhadap pasukan tersebut.

Dalam rakaman selama 1 jam 30 minit itu, Pengarah Keselamatan Dalam Negeri dan Ketenteraman Awam (KDNKA) Bukit Aman, Datuk Salleh Mat Rasid memberi taklimat kepada media dan beberapa NGO berhubung beberapa kejadian yang telah diputar belitkan oleh pihak tertentu dengan tujuan mencemarkan imej PDRM.

Antaranya mengenai tohmahan melibatkan Timbalan Presiden Pas, Mohamad Sabu yang mendakwa dirinya dilanggar kenderaan polis, tindakan provokasi Naib Presiden Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), Tian Chua terhadap pihak polis dan peristiwa tembakan gas pemedih mata di Hospital Tung Shin.

Turut ditayangkan situasi melibatkan peserta perhimpunan, Allahyarham Baharudin Ahmad, 59, yang didakwa meninggal dunia kerana sesak nafas selepas terkena gas pemedih mata dan rakaman mengenai peserta perhimpunan Bersih, Shuhardi Md. Isa yang didakwa sebagai Baharudin.

Dalam kes melibatkan Mohamad Sabu, rakaman video menunjukkan peta perjalanan Timbalan Presiden Pas itu yang membonceng sebuah motosikal bersama seorang lelaki menggunakan Jalan Maharajalela dari Mandarin Court ke lokasi kejadian di kawasan perumahan Sri Bukit Persekutuan, di sini.

Ia memaparkan motosikal yang dinaiki Mohamad Sabu tidak dilanggar oleh kenderaan polis seperti mana didakwa oleh beliau, sebaliknya beliau terjatuh sendiri selepas membuat pusingan U di kawasan tersebut.

Salleh berkata, hasil siasatan menunjukkan Mat Sabu terjatuh selepas motosikal yang dinaiki hilang kawalan di sebelah kanan jalan.

"Hasil pemeriksaan kesihatan menunjukkan tiada kecederaan serius disebabkan kemalangan dan beliau hanya mendapat rawatan pesakit luar," katanya ketika menyampaikan taklimat tersebut di Dewan Teater Ibu Pejabat Polis Bukit Aman di sini, hari ini.

Salleh memberitahu, pihaknya sedang mencari seorang lelaki dikenali sebagai Shuhardi Md. Isa dipercayai peserta utama yang bertindak membangkitkan provokasi terhadap polis ketika perhimpunan haram itu.

Beliau berkata, terdapat empat tindakan provokasi Shuhardi yang berjaya dirakam pihak polis iaitu mengadakan solat di tengah Jalan Pudu, mengarahkan peserta-peserta perhimpunan supaya duduk dengan dialog "polis tidak datang kita gagal, jika tidak datang kita gagal", mara ke arah polis ketika diarahkan bersurai dan berlakon sesak nafas yang telah dimanipulasi pihak tertentu sebagai Baharudin.

Tohmahan berhubung kematian Baharudin pula jelas ditunjukkan menerusi rakaman video di bangunan Avenue-K ketika Allahyarham berlari memasuki bangunan berhampiran Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) pada hari kejadian pada pukul 4.30 petang.

Rakaman itu turut menunjukkan sebuah ambulans tiba di lokasi kejadian pada pukul 5.07 petang untuk membawa Allahyarham ke Pusat Perubatan Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (PPUKM), selepas pihak kecemasan menerima panggilan kira-kira 17 minit sebelum itu.

Menurut Salleh, rakaman dari menara KLCC dan Avenue-K menunjukkan tiada gas pemedih mata dilepaskan di lokasi KLCC dan tiada anggota polis berada di lokasi Allahyarham meninggal dunia, sebaliknya bantuan awal diberi anggota polis bantuan.

"Hasil bedah siasat menunjukkan Allahyarham tidak mengalami sebarang kecederaan di luaran atau dalaman seperti lebam, calar atau luka serta menjelaskan kematiannya mempunyai kaitan dengan serangan jantung.

"Berikutan itu, ia jelas menafikan tohmahan Allahyarham meninggal dunia akibat dipukul polis dan terkena gas pemedih mata," katanya lagi.

Dalam kejadian sebenar di Hospital Tung Shin, Salleh berkata, pihaknya mengakui gas pemedih mata dilepaskan bagaimanapun ia dilakukan di lorong tengah antara sebuah bangunan kosong dan hospital berkenaan.

Mengenai situasi di Stesen KL Sentral yang melibatkan Tian Chua, beliau berkata, polis telah mengeluarkan sembilan kali amaran supaya penunjuk perasaan bersurai tetapi mereka berdegil dan terus melakukan provokasi.

''Rakaman video menunjukkan aksi-aksi provokasi Tian Chua terhadap pihak polis,'' katanya.

Secara keseluruhan, Salleh menegaskan, tiada sebarang kecederaan serius atau kematian yang dikaitkan secara langsung pada hari perhimpunan haram.

Rakaman itu turut menunjukkan layanan baik polis terhadap pemimpin Bersih termasuk Presiden Pas, Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang Ahli Parlimen Lembah Pantai Nurul Izzah Anwar, Ahli Parlimen Kuala Selangor, Dr. Zulkifli Ahmad dan Pengerusi Bersih Datuk S. Ambiga,

Sehubungan itu, beliau menasihati mana-mana pihak agar tidak memuat naik sebarang bahan atau artikel yang tidak menggambarkan situasi atau fakta sebenar perhimpunan haram berkenaan.

"Pihak polis akan mengambil tindakan undang-undang terhadap pihak-pihak yang menyiarkan laporan dan dakwaan palsu.

"Jika terdapat rakaman yang menunjukkan pihak polis melakukan tindakan menyalahi SOP, sila tampil membuat laporan polis dan kita akan siasat. Mana-mana anggota atau pegawai yang melanggar SOP akan dikenakan tindakan sewajarnya," kata beliau.

PETALING JAYA: The Immigration Department has pledged to assist the police in their investigations following the detention of one of its officers under the Internal Security Act for providing false travel documents.

Immigration Department director-general Datuk Alias Ahmad said the action of the officer, who had facilitated human trafficking by issuing false travel documents, had posed a threat to the country’s security.

“In this case, police investigations revealed that the officer had been providing false travel documents for people to enter and leave the country,” he told The Star.

It was reported yesterday that the 29-year-old officer, who was based at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, was detained by police on Friday.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar was quoted as saying the officer was nabbed together with a 34-year-old Sri Lankan national.

Community policing: Ongkili (centre) urging residents to work
with the police to run regular patrols in their neighbourhoods.

KOTA MARUDU: Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili said the community's involvement in crime prevention is crucial if the government is to succeed in reducing the country's crime rate further.

He said the community's role could make a significant difference in reducing crime in their respective neighbourhoods.

Ongkili, who is also the Kota Marudu MP, said that under the Government Transformation Programme (GTP) National Key Results Area (NKRA) on reducing crime, the authorities did well to lower the crime index by 15% in 2010. This includes both urban and rural areas.

In the long run, he said it would be vital for the community to participate in crime prevention initiatives such as the Volunteer Patrol Scheme.

Ongkili personally led 13 neighbourhood patrol teams for their night watch at various areas in his constituency on July 10, together with the Volunteers of the Malaysian People (RELA) and the police.

The Kota Marudu constituency has 30 Rukun Tetangga units where 15 out of the total have a Volunteer Patrol Scheme.

Ongkili urged the residents to work with the police to run regular patrols in their neighbourhoods as the government has recognised neighbourhood watch to be effective in crime prevention.

PORT DICKSON: Police are offering the video on the July 9 illegal rally for screening by any local television station.

Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Khalid Abu Bakar said, so far, only Radio Television Malaysia (RTM) had accepted the offer and screened the video.

"If there are other television stations interested in screening the video, we will give it to them. The video clip can also be watched on the website of the Royal Malaysian Police as we had uploaded it.

"We thank RTM for screening the video to show what actually happened during the July 9 illegal rally. By screening the video, we hope the public will get truthful and accurate information on the rally," he added.

Khalid hoped that after this, there would be no more lies and accusations that the police were violent and brutal in dispersing the illegal rally.

He had earlier watched the full-dress rehearsal of the passing-out parade of new soldiers and police constables for the 1/2011 series at the Army Basic Training Centre (Pusasda), here Tuesday.

http://www.nst.com.my/nst/articles/Penang_scrimeindexdrops26percent/Article/

GEORGE TOWN: The crime index in Penang has dropped by 26 per cent from January until June this year says Penang police chief Datuk Wira Ayub Yaakob.

Ayub said the figure had exceeded the set Key Performance Index (KPI) target of 20 per cent.

He said street crimes also dropped by 51 per cent for the first quarter this year, compared with the 40 per cent target.

"Penang police have solved 53 per cent of the cases which also exceeded the national target of 40 per cent," he told reporters after a monthly meeting with government agencies and district police chiefs, here today.

Ayub attributed the success to cooperation with the public, including participation in the Voluntary Patrol Scheme (VPS) which has over 6,000 members in the state.

He said the police would launch crime eradication operations to reduce crime

as Penang was listed as one of the states with the highest crime rates in Malaysia.

"Police will increase capability and increase patrols to reduce crime,
especially during the coming festive season," he added. -- Bernama

Bersih probe over soon :cheers:

GEORGE TOWN: The police hope to wrap up its investigation this week over the alleged police brutality and other accusations levelled at the force during the Bersih 2.0 rally early this month.

Inspector-General Tan Sri Ismail Omar said he ordered for the probe to be wrapped up fast and action be taken according to the law.

“If we have enough evidence, we’ll submit the papers to the Attorney-General’s Chambers for a decision on whether to charge anyone,” he said here yesterday.

In Kuala Lumpur, Federal deputy CID director Deputy Comm Datuk Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani said police were investigating seven cases related to the rally.

“They include allegations by Pokok Sena MP Mat Sabu that he was knocked down by a police vehicle, a claim of an attempt to murder Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, a video clip purportedly showing the death of Baharudin Ahmad as well allegations that the tear gas used was made in Isreal.

DCP Acryl Sani said two types of tear gas were used that day – the ALS 5727 and the MP-2SB-CS.

“Both are made in the United States and the chemical used in the water cannon was from Switzerland. If the allegations prove to be baseless we will not hesitate to take action against anyone, especially those with malicious intent as provided under Section 182 of the Penal Code for giving false information,” he said.

In a related development, city police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Mohamad Salleh said they were investigating a man named Suhardi Matisa for allegedly impersonating Baharudin who died of a heart attack during the rally.

He said police were investigating the video clip of Suhardi posted on YouTube and other social media sites under Section 505 (b) of the Penal Code for causing public mischief and also Section 233 of the Communication and Multimedia Act 1998.

GENTING HIGHLANDS: Police are finalising their investigations into the July 9 rally, said Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Khalid Abu Bakar.

He said most of the investigation papers (IPs) had been completed and sent to the Attorney-General’s Chambers, but some were returned for police to investigate further.

“The investigation into those returned papers are expected to be completed by this week before we re-submit them,” he said yesterday.

Khalid said some of the IPs into the six Bersih committee members, including Datuk S. Ambiga, were also returned by the Attorney-General and were being completed before re-submission.

Meanwhile, investigations into allegations by Pokok Sena MP Mat Sabu that he was knocked down by a police vehicle during the rally have been completed.

Khalid said the report had been sent to the Attorney-General and they were awaiting further instructions.

He said despite repeated calls to the public to assist police by handing over pictures and video clips taken during the rally, no one had come forward.

“We only want to examine authentic and unedited videos,” he said, adding that he had given an assurance that no action would be taken against those who handed over the copies.

Online system allows all police stations to accept accident reports says deputy IGP Khalid

GENTING: From November, police stations nationwide would be linked to the online Police Reporting System, which would allow motorists involved in accidents to lodge reports at any police station.

Deputy Inspector General of Police Datuk Seri Khalid Abu Bakar said with the new system, general policemen at any police stations can conduct the initial investigation.

“They can take down the accident particulars, snap photographs of the damaged vehicle and other necessary records before submitting it online,” he said, adding the new initiatives would greatly improve their delivery system.

Khalid said motorist would be able to apply for photographs and sketches of where and how the accident took place via online and choose the preferred police station they wish to collect documents from.

Khalid explained that currently all police stations can accept police reports on traffic matters and accidents, but this was done manually and the hard copy was either sent or faxed to the respective traffic police centre before investigations commenced.

Khalid said this after witnessing the closing ceremony of the three-day Traffic Police Investigation Application Workshop in Genting Highlands Thursday.

The workshop saw 32 state and senior traffic police chiefs attending the brainstorming event to improve the traffic police investigation and delivery system.

JOHOR BARU: A family syndicate that dealt in the theft of telecommunication cables and electronic equipment was smashed by police following the recovery of more than RM5 million worth of the stolen items during a nationwide blitz several days ago.

Johor police chief Datuk Mokhtar Shariff said the syndicate had been operating for several months and was active in Johor, Selangor, Malacca, Negri Sembilan, Penang, Kedah, Pahang and Kuala Lumpur.

Police picked up the husband, wife and their daughters aged 1 and 3, and a teenager.

"They had been targeting telecommunication sub-stations owned by major telecommunication providers in the Malaysia.

"Most of the time, the husband and wife will include their daughters and a teenager during their excursions," he said at the Johor police headquarters yesterday.

Mokhtar said the syndicate's activities came to light on July 18 when the "family" was stopped by police in Bukit Pasir, Muar, at 6.30pm.

"They were acting suspiciously at the sub-station operated by Maxis. Police also found a van parked nearby that was loaded with telecommunication cables believed to have been stolen."

Based on the arrests and information, Mokhtar said a police team swung into action on July 29, raiding a second-hand items centre in Bukit Puchong, Selangor.

"In the raid, police detained three locals, aged between 24 and 51, and three Indian nationals, aged between 26 and 42, who were the premise owners and workers respectively."

During the raid, police seized various items such as cables, electronic items and batteries belonging to telecommunication companies like Maxis, DiGi, Celcom and TM worth more than RM5 million.

Based on the arrests and seizures, Mokhtar said police were confident that they had solved 60 cases of cable and electronic equipment theft in Johor as well as other states.

All police stations to be equipped with device to rate service

http://www.mmail.com.my/content/79691-all-police-stations-be-equipped-device-rate-service

KUALA LUMPUR: As part of efforts to improve the Royal Malaysia Police's (PDRM) frontline services and image, it is expected that all police stations in this country will be equipped with the Customer Service Rating System from next year.

Performance Management and Delivery Unit (Pemandu)'s Reducing Crime National Key Results Area (NKRA) director, Eugene Teh, said for a start, police stations in Selangor would be provided with the system.

The system works when a person who files a report with the police uses a special machine to rate police services.

"The pilot project was planned for them (Selangor police stations) because they have more police stations and a high density of residents," Teh said when giving an update on the results for the sector for January-June 2011, here yesterday.

He said the system would eventually be expanded to Kuala Lumpur and other states.

Elaborating, Teh said that in two weeks' time, all police stations in Selangor would be equipped with the rating system.

"The devices will be deployed soon," he said, adding that people would be able to rate the services rendered by police officers when lodging an accident report, for example.

GEORGE TOWN, July 26 (Bernama) -- The country's first Smart police station is expected to be set up in Bayan Baru next year, state police chief Datuk Ayub Yaakob disclosed Tuesday.

He said the state police needed the Smart police station to tackle the increasing sophistication and use of advanced technology in cyber and technological crimes.

"The Smart polie station would be equipped with information and communications technology, and the latest high-tech equipment to enable smooth investigations.

"We will get our funding from the federal level soon...our plan is to upgrade the current Bayan Baru police station by transforming it into a Smart police station.

"We are currently working closely with the industry players, among them, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM)," Ayub said after attending the closing ceremony of a two-day seminar, 'Technology in crime and loss prevention: The new era' here.

Police To Launch 'My Distress' Application To Combat Crime
July 29, 2011 20:33 PM
http://www.bernama.com/bernama/state_news/news.php?id=604940&cat=ct

SHAH ALAM, July 29 (Bernama) -- Police will introduce a smart phone application to shorten response time during the incidence of crimes and thereby help to prevent crimes.

Selangor police chief Datuk Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah said the application known as 'My Distress' enables signals to be sent to the police operations room at the press of an icon on the smart phone.

"The application, the first of its kind in Malaysia, will be launched next month and details will be provided later," he said at a press conference here today after meeting with the taxi and lorry operators community at the Selangor police headquarters auditorium.

He said the application allowed users to set several locations such as their home, vehicle and other relevant places to simplify sending a distress signal.

The signal will be received by all operations rooms located in the eight highest crime-prone areas, which are Klang, Petaling Jaya, Ampang Jaya, Subang Jaya, Kajang, Gombak, Serdang and Shah Alam.

Tun Hisan said that once a signal was received, information on the victim's location would be sent to the nearest patrol car and police station.

He was optimistic the crime rate would be reduced through the application because it made it easier for both the public and the police to apprehend criminals.

Tun Hisan said the application would be provided for free when it was first launched and users might be charged RM1 per month from next year onwards.

At a separate event, Tun Hisan said the state still needed 219 Police Volunteer Reserve (PVR) personnel to assist in maintaining public order.

He said 446 PVR personnel had been appointed to date.

KOTA KINABALU: About RM1mil given by the Home Ministry is being invested by the state government to reduce the crime rate.

City Hall has installed 250 new street lights and 32 floodlights at Segama and Kampung Air in the state capital's downtown area.

A 90m-long metal railing has also been installed along the seaside walkway between the marine police office and Jesselton Point, a popular spot for locals and tourists.

Under the Safe City programme, six safety mirrors were installed along various roads in the town area, said Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Dr Yee Moh Chai yesterday.

“More security measures will be introduced, including the installation of closed-circuit television cameras at strategic locations in the downtown area,” Dr Yee said at the launch of the programme here.

He said the programme, which was part of the Home Ministry's National Key Results Area (NKRA) on crime reduction, aimed to reduce the overall crime rate in Kota Kinabalu by 5% next year and street crimes by 20% by the end of the year.

Kota Kinabalu acting deputy police chief Deputy Supt Peter Ambuas said NKRA targets had helped to cut the number of violent crimes this year.

People look up to police force

JOHOR BARU: "They can call us what they want, but we will continue to serve and protect," said Johor police chief Datuk Mokhtar Shariff in reference to criticism of the force in its handling of the Bersih 2.0 rally in Kuala Lumpur last month.

He said despite the adversity, police must continue protecting the public.

"The nation's security was jeopardised by a group demanding electoral reforms last month.

"Bersih, an illegal organisation, even questioned the police's actions during the rally.

"The police now have to manage people's negative perception of us," he said during the Johor police monthly assembly at the state contingent headquarters.

Mokhtar said the public should realise they needed security forces.

"And so, the police will face challenges with courage and confidence to uphold their credibility and increase the public's understanding of the role of the police."

People interviewed by the New Straits Times yesterday said the police were proficient when it came to handling riots and illegal assemblies.

Mohamad Sawadi Azahar, 27, a company senior manager, said the police were experts in handling such situations with efficiency and professionalism.

"That is why our police are acknowledged as one of the best forces in the world."

The police's preventive measures and professionalism during the July 9 rally did not lead to property losses.

Businessman Hanizam Idrus, 36, from Ampang, said he was frustrated with the riots in London.

"Here, there were no reports of serious injuries on the part of demonstrators, even though several illegal assemblies have taken place over the years."

Security guard Aman Deep Singh, 24, of Kuala Lumpur, said he was shocked with what was happening in London.

"I have more respect for our police force now as they are professional when it comes to handling demonstrations to ensure there is no property loss or loss of lives."

Lee Kok Meng of Puchong said the police remained proactive, which was why the country was safe.

Ang Huei Wian said the police had proven their ability to maintain peace in a professional manner, even in tense situations.

"They can control a situation before it gets out of hand."

Zacky Nelson, 24, of Sentul, said the police were well trained to handle demonstrations.

"Look at London. Many buildings were burnt down and people were injured.

But you hardly hear anything of that sort happening here during illegal assemblies or rallies. I have great respect for our police."

Police murdered our sons, say families

12/08/2011

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 11 — The families of three young men shot dead last November 13 on suspicion of robbing a petrol station claimed that the trio were killed by police in cold blood, their lawyer said today.

Mohd Shamil Hafiz Shapiei, 15, Hairul Nizam Tuah, 20, and Mohd Hanafi Omar, 22, died in the police shooting after a reported high-speed car chase in the early hours of the morning of November 13, 2010, in Glenmarie, Shah Alam.

“Shots were fired to kill these three individuals contrary to what police have said,” lawyer N. Surendran (picture) told reporters here.

“Police said the three youths had attacked the police with machetes and therefore the police had to open fire on the three, killing all three.

“If the reason is to stop, why shoot to the head and chest?” Surendran asked.

“For Shamil, one shot was fired in the middle of the forehead at a 45-degree angle from above, and one shot to the chest. For Hairul, one shot was fired to the head and one to the chest. For Hanafi, two shots were fired through his cheeks and one to the chest,” he said.

Surendran said if the police really wanted to stop the youths from attacking them, one shot in the arm or the leg would have stopped them.

“Two shots to the head and one to the chest, are they trying to stop a human being or a 600-pound gorilla?” asked the human rights lawyer, who is a PKR vice-president.

This morning, lawyers representing the families presented the final post-mortem report at the Petaling Jaya police headquarters and subsequently lodged a report for further investigation into the incident.

“The mother of Shamil made another police report on the incident. Before this we have exposed two post-mortem reports but one we didn’t get. Now, we have the last for Hanafi,” Surendran said.

He claimed that the police have committed various criminal offences in this case.

“We want an investigation… Firstly, murder investigation. All the officers involved in the shooting must be investigated for the offence of murder and nothing less than that.

“Secondly, those higher police officers like Datuk Thaiveegan who issued the statement saying they tried to attack them (the police) with machetes must be investigated for giving false information regarding an offence. That itself is a criminal offence under sections 201 and 203, giving false information,” said Surendran.

The lawyer also said the policemen involved in the case should be investigated under section 218 of the Penal Code for writing false reports of what had happened.

“I think the most important question we want to ask here is, is there a shoot-to-kill policy within the police department?

“If there is, there must be an investigation immediately on criminal conspiracy in the police department to carry out this kind of act, which is shooting to kill,” he said.

Surendran said that in 2001, five people were shot dead by the police. In 2008, 82 people were killed. In 2009, 88 people died in police shootings.

The trio’s death came nearly seven months after 14-year-old schoolboy Aminulrasyid Amzah was shot after a high-speed police car chase in Shah Alam in the early hours of April 26, 2010.

Corporal Jenain Subi was the sole policeman charged for the incident and faces up to 30 years’ jail plus a fine if convicted.

PETALING JAYA: The Government has no plans to abolish any provisions under the Police Act 1967 which give police the power to regulate assemblies, meetings and processions.

The Government, in its feedback to Suhakam's Annual Report 2010, said these provisions were part of preventive laws introduced to ensure the right to assembly was not misused as provided for under Article 10(2)(b) of the Federal Constitution.

The national human rights institution had recommended that subsections (2), (2A)-(2D), (4), (4A), (5), (5A)-(5C), (7) and (8) of Section 27 and 27a of the Act be abolished.

“However, the Home Ministry is working together with the Attorney-General's Chambers to draft amendments for certain provisions under Section 27 of the Police Act so it would be in line with the provisions under the Federal Constitution,” said the report.

Regarding freedom of speech and information, Suhakam recommended the formation of a free and self-regulatory media council to resolve issues and monitor adherence to the industry's code of ethics.

The Government replied that it was important to ensure that the information and ideas conveyed did not cause tension and threaten national harmony.

“The concept of freedom of speech is not an absolute right or freedom. Conversely, it is dependent on several conditions under the Federal Constitution through Article (10)(2)(a) and other related laws,” said the report.

The Government said it would set up a media consultative council to better harmonise relations between the media and the Government, adding that it would act like a forum to exchange ideas and find a “win-win” approach.

“The Government is of the view that good journalistic practices are necessary in a country with many races, religions, culture and social backgrounds like Malaysia,” it said.

It added that laws such as the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984 and Official Secrets Act 1972 were formed to ensure that these two rights were not misused.
