Early this morning, I received an SMS reminding me to view Malaysia Today’s article, ‘Salahguna Kuasa (Pegawai Polis)’ posted on Friday, 25 February 2011. I was also handed a photocopy of the article. These are likeminded people who are deeply concern at what they see as decay in societal and religious values badly affecting the Malays. And I see that all those that are named in the article are Malays, and this shamed me.
The article accuses a serving police officer Supt Jaafar bin Mat of the Narcotic Branch of the Malacca Police Headquarters for being the owner of up to fifteen Security Companies; all in the name of proxies. The article also listed the names of proxies and companies owned by the police officer, including cars and a newly constructed house at Kg. Sg. Tua Baru, Batu Caves that is claimed to be worth RM4 million. If this is true, only an idiot would not believe in the story.
The article claims that this police officer (mind you, he is a HAJI who has gone on a pilgrimage to Mecca) has been detained once for questioning by MACC, but no further action was taken against him, because the report was withdrawn by the person making the report. From the writings, I believed that this scam is being perpetrated with the connivance of officers from the Ministry of Internal Security (KDN), the MACC and even among the police officers themselves.
I spoke to a friend of mine concerning this article and he said that the issuance of a Security License by KDN is a scam, and everyone knows this. He believes that corruption is so rampant and blatant among some of the KDN officers involved in the issuance of licenses. There is an obvious network that is linked with other agencies of government, namely KDN, MACC and the police department. Otherwise, this scam could not possibly work. I wonder if the minister Hishamuddin is aware of what is happening under his charge, and if he does not, he had better find out.
I do not know if this article will hit the main stream media, but I believe it won’t. And I do not know if the appropriate authorities i.e. MACC and the police alike will act on the article and including the police officer concern and I believe they won’t either, unless a formal report is made. This is the norm they say. No report, no investigation however serious. But the authorities take active interest if it involves the opposition or a report that demonized a renowned public figure. Just take the case of Teoh Beng Hock, and for a mere RM2000, the whole world was upon him. But in the famous case of former MAS boss Tajudin Ramli that involves millions, firewalls are placed around the case. Do you call this justice…….I don’t really know. Malaysian justice perhaps.
And if someone were to ask me that assuming I was the IGP, what would I do to Supt Jaafar bin Mat after having read the article. My reply would be……….suspend him from all duties and immediately conduct a departmental investigation, even before a formal report is made by someone, and regardless of whether the article is true or false. I do this because I have to save the good name of the police force that is already mired in all kinds of controversies. Now, will the IGP do what I would do if I was the IGP?

AZAMUDDIN'S STATEMENT REVEALING
15 year old schoool boy Aminulrasyid Amzah's death at being gunned down by the police in Shah Alam on the morning of April 26, 2010 has raised public anger to the extreme, that anything said by the police regarding this case now, can no longer appease the public. This is bad times for the entire police force, and the effect of public anger has affected even the government's response to the case, that the public sees as one that favours the police. I do not wish to repeat what the IGP responses were, which is viewed by most as a mockery. And I don't even want to trust what was said by the Home Minister himself. Do we not remember the Shah Alam 'cow head incident', where the Home Minister had the audacity to hold a press conference with the perpetrators of the cow head incident by his side?
When the case first appeared in the media, the police had tried to make Aminulrasyid the villain by naming him a criminal, with a parang in the car that is intended to show to the public that Aminulrasyid had some bad motives. Even the parang found in the car can easily be contested, as it is commonly known that the police has lots of devious means up their sleeves to frame and discredit someone. Luckily, they did not place a bag of heroine in the booth of the car, and to later claim that Aminulrasyid was a drug dealer.
Now, the prime witness i.e. Azamuddin Omar, the person who was with Aminulrasyid throughout the incident has made a public statement that differs from what was earlier reported by the police. As the story goes, the police were on a shooting spree with more than 10 shots fired at the car. With that number of shots, even a mammoth could not have survived. With 10 shots, what does this really mean? Isn't this a deliberate act of murder? Now, what justification can the police offer that the action of the policeman is justifiable, and if need be,10 shot wasn't enough.
Selangor police chief has said that, “it was unethical for lawyers representing Aminulraysid's family to allow Azamuddin to give his account when the case was being investigated”. But was the police ethical when they announced that Aminulrasyid was a criminal, even before investigation began? And what about the story of the parang found in the car? Isn't the police trying to influence the minds of the public that Aminulrasyid was indeed a criminal? Who is playing fair now, and let it be known that the public are not stupid to believe all that the police have said.
The public now demands that the IGP takes full responsibility over the action (rightfully or wrongfully) of his men, and to resigns with grace. The longer he remains in the force, the more brick-bats will the thrown at him.

DATUK RAMLI YUSOFF A ‘FREE MAN’
Police Commisioner Datuk Ramli Yusoff is now a ‘free man’, after having been suspended from the police force for over two years, for a charge of not declaring his asset; charges that he claimed to have been fixed. The prosecution however is appealing against his acquittal.
Two years of what could have been a ‘productive life’ with the force, has been robbed off him,and his character ‘smeared’ by person(s) whom many believed had wanted him out of the force. Stories of him being a victim of some trampled up charges and false allegations are being repeatedly posted in the internet, but are silent in the mainstream media. Even the appearance of the IGP as a prosecution witness did not appeal to the Judge. Obviously, the IGP wasn’t a good prosecution witness, and this had raised the perception in the minds of those who were following the case closely, that the allegation against Ramli is flawed. One can be forgiven if they now perceive that the IGP is himself the ‘mastermind’ to this whole affair i.e. a campaign of deceit and ruthless character assassination.
Ramli now has the chance to redeem himself, and to rebuild his character of a highly regarded and professional police officer that he once was. He may not be able to serve the force any longer because of his age, but the least he could do is to gain back what he had lost i.e. honour and dignity, and including all that is due to him monetarily. Certainly, he cannot be robbed of his pension and gratuity.
I have many friends in the police force, and what they say of this case is one that had brought shame to the police force. They are not too happy to see the third highest ranking police officer being treated like an outcast and shunned like a convicted person. Certainly, Ramli must have done something good for the force; otherwise he would not have been elevated to such a towering post in the force. This is where the force had failed him, and there is therefore every reason for Ramli to be ‘sour’ and angry.
I do not know how the ministry will react to Ramli’s demand for reinstatement of his lost honour and dignity, and the two years that he has been placed in oblivion. There can be no amount of money to compensate for Ramli’s losses, and even an apology from the IGP would mean little to Ramli.
