My story...9 years ago upon my return from London I was "wrongfully" arrested at the Subang airport. I was not advised on why I was arrested. I insisted to the OCS that I will have to make a phone call on my mobile to my friend at Bukit Aman. After the OCS heard my friend's name, he cooperated. Unfortunately as it was during Hari Raya and just past midnight, I was not able to get hold of my friend.

However, the OCS, having learnt that I have such a friend decided to play safe and contact Bkt Aman to verify the arrest and guest what.......the guy at Aman could not verify as there is no record!!!!

The OCS apologised and saying that he has do do his duty, I had to be handcuffed and taken to IPD PJ! He thought he was doing me a favour by allowing me to be handcuffed with my hands in front instead of being at the back and he made sure the cuffs were not tight.

I spent the night at in the cell and early next morning, some officer form aman came for me..took me out of the cell..went to collect my personal stuff and told me to forget the whole thing like "mimpi' only....asked me whether I wanted "makan pagi" to which I replied negative and offered to send me home.

Whilst dropping me off at my home, reminded me to forget the episode...gave me his name and contact number and insist I call him should I need any assistance in future.

About 3 days later, got call on my mobile..somebody from Aman..apologise for the wrongful arrest and my reply "no problem...I live in Malaysia and I can expect such screw-up!"

Few days later, the OCS call my mobile, insiting that because of his follow up in making the call to my friend, they reliased the mistake and immediately released me. Otherwise, possible another few days in the cell.

After that, numerous calls from OCS wanting to borrow money!!!

What rights?????

Not informed of reason of arrest
Strip search at the balai
Slept on the floor
Cannot locate my shoes when I "checked out"

Malaysia boleh...apa apa pun boleh!!!

Latest news...hot off the press...



IPCMC: Police threaten to vote for the Opposition

The Royal Malaysian Police (RMP), which had made known its objection to the setting up of the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC), has published ten reasons why IPCMC is not needed.

The raison d'etre, titled IPCMC : WHY WE DON’T NEED IT, was published in the RMP website (http://www.rmp.gov.my/rmp03/edisi_khas_ipcmc.htm).

In a supplementary document titled IPCMC Yang Tersurat, Yang Tersirat , ACP Jamaludin bin Hj Khalid was quoted in his capacity as the president of the gazetted Senior Police Officers Association as having warned the government that, should the IMCPC be established, the Police will not hide their sentiments by voting for the Opposition during the 2008 General Election.

The association also said it would ask for the Opposition's help in furthering the interests of the force in the Parliament.

seems like the legalised gangsters have made a characteristic move. Shocking news at... police
 
Even hotter off the press...ink still wet... :p

UPDATED VERSION: The documents that detail Police's rejection of IPCMC, which was highlighted in this blog yesterday, had been removed from the Royal Malaysian Police's website as of last night, reports The NST in a frontpage lead today.


UPDATES: A check by Screenshots at 12:15hr on May 30, after being alerted by a reader, indicated that the documents were still intact on the Police website at http://www.rmp.gov.my/rmp03/edisi_khas_ipcmc.htm.

Inspector-General of Police Mohd Bakri Omar was quoted in The NST as saying this: "I want to know who put it up."

And the chain of command instantly cascaded down to the rank-and-file -- 'red-faced and livid' says The NST -- when it was found out that a report meant for internal circulation had been posted on the Police's official website.

Federal police public relations officer Superintendent Mohamad Daud, who is also the chief editor for Police publications, said it was a misunderstanding between him and the webmaster.

He confirmed that the special publication was for internal circulation and not for the public, The NST says.

"I was under the impression that the webmaster was posting the document as an email to all police personnel.

"But, unfortunately, there was a miscommunication and the document was instead posted on the website. We have never posted any articles in our publication on the website."

The Police PR chief told The NST that the webmaster did not turn up for work yesterday for fear of being reprimanded.

The NST says IGP Mohd Bakri had consented to the publication of the report but made clear that the booklet should only be distributed among police personnel.

However, it was uploaded to the police website several days ago and picked up by the online (Malaysiakini Chinese and English editions) and print media (Oriental daily News).
