Yesterday, a minister of the rebel government who held a press conference on behalf of the so-called national security council made a statement that the rebel government has allowed the police and the communications & multimedia commission (MCMC) to take whatever action possible against any news portal should they are found to have misreported any news or statements to the public. The rebel government should be held accountable on what they are trying to interpret here as such call for the authorities to take whatever action it could in the name of curbing misreport can be misguided and innocent parties could be wrongly taken into custody or charged in the court unnecessarily. First of all, can the rebel government clearly define what is the actual definition of its alleged misreport news, statement or claims of “fake news”? The rebel government cannot just simply haul up any parties and in the end telling us that “let the court decides”. Such words are unbecoming and irresponsi...

The shocking reveal on the police’s responsibilities of the two abductions has indeed renewed public calls to have the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) to be established as soon as possible in order to address the various cases and misdeeds which involved members of the force. And yet until today, certain elements within the force are still against the IPCMC and this faction within the force had in fact taken numerous steps to ensure the IPCMC does not come into reality forever. The fact that is, the establishment of the IPCMC does not signify anti-police measures, the setting-up of the IPCMC is not to take control over the police force not taking over their role in preserving our nation’s security. Furthermore, the new government does not intend to abolish the police force. The proposal to establish the IPCMC is to assist the police force to improve their standards, integrity, transparency and accountability. It will provide various support and amenit...

One of Malaysia’s highest ranking police officers has been stripped of more than $320,000 by the Australian Federal Police, which suspected his Sydney bank account held laundered money or proceeds of crime. Wan Ahmad Najmuddin bin Mohd, now the head of Malaysia’s criminal investigations department, opened a Commonwealth Bank “Goal Saver” account in 2011, listing his address at Bankstown and then Glebe in Sydney. One week after the decorated public official concluded an Australian trip in 2016, the account received a flurry of suspicious cash deposits. Unknown depositors visited branches and ATMs around the country, from Biloela in country Queensland to Devonport in northern Tasmania to Lakemba in Sydney’s west and Melbourne’s CBD. The account balance grew by nearly $290,000 in a month, mostly in structured deposits below $10,000, the threshold above which law enforcement agencies receive mandatory notifications. Mr Najmuddin has not tried to wrest the money back from authorities, sa...

This article was earlier published in TheAntDaily.com on 4/12/2013 The Special Branch, or better known as the SB, is an intelligence unit of the Royal Malaysia Police. The SB is tasked with acquiring and developing intelligence on internal and external threats to our nation’s security and public order. Apart from dealing with security intelligence, the SB’s other tasks are to gather reports related to political security on behalf of the Barisan Nasional government, like activities run by politicians, political parties and some selected NGOs; establishing profiles on political leaders from branch, division, state and national levels; monitoring leaders of NGOs and activists; monitoring political situation as well as gathering information on the people’s sentiment towards major issues, public policies and the current government. The SB was established during the Malayan Emergency period to deal with the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) guerilla warfare against the then Malay...

Earlier, the BN government has decided to please our people by repealing the Emergency Ordinance (EO) and the Restricted Residence Act. The repeal of these two laws were further affirmed by the police that the crime rate of our nation has dropped, thanks to the "hard work" of the policemen out there in "curbing" the crimes. Out of the sudden, the newly sworn in BN government with its new home affairs minister in place, they had decided to enact a new law to replace the old EO and also incorporating some of the  provisions of the other repealed laws. The BN leader reason that the crime rates has been on the rise again, blamed the release of many EO detainees had also resulted to the immediate increase of the crime spree in the streets and many more excuses. And at the same time, both the recently retired inspector-general of police and the newly appointed inspector-general of police (IGP) has been insisting that the crime rate has dropped despite being questione...

Everyone of us are asking, why is the Polis Di Raja Malaysia (PDRM) getting worst and the crime rates are even on the rise? Everyone of us are now demanding the explanations from the government and the many members of the PDRM high command. In fact, the PDRM top officials manning the high command should also ask themselves now. Even the home affairs minister should also ask why the PDRM's performance had worsen? Many PDRM officials and personnel had instead blamed our people for being anti-police and listening to much to "rumor mongers" who are out to tarnish the PDRM's image. First of all, why do we want to be anti-police and listening to rumors on the bad side of the PDRM? Reports and evidence had already proven that the entire PDRM is really in a bad shape. The many deaths that the PDRM personnel had caused for decades. We do not have to remind the people about the total numbers. Everyone of us remember. Even the brutality (or should we say violence) as demo...

The Enforcement Agencies Integrity Commission (EAIC) has already failed, even prior to its inception because they lack of the necessary funding and manpower to work out its roles and responsibilities for the public. Besides, having the EAIC directly under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Department (PMD) has in fact put the integrity commission in a way that it has been seen as not independent and has no power to act on its own because EAIC is only a sub-department under the PMD hierarchy. Apart from that, the  EAIC's oversight responsibilities covers about 19 different enforcement agencies nationwide, plus some sub-enforcement units within certain government departments and agencies. Asides, EAIC also did not possess the prosecuting and enforcement powers to enable the commission to demand for the hearing of a reported case and all the subjects of the integrity in question to be summoned for a case hearing session without fail. The other issue is, who will effec...

There is no "Arab Spring" kind of street demonstrations, revolts nor uprising here in Malaysia. The citizens of this nation is not like those Arabs. The police top officials should stop all such imaginations within its force. Yes, we know that there some small groups of peace-loving concerned citizens who are pitching up so many small rectangular multicoloured flags in order to show their solidarity on change and their displeasure over political violence, corruptions and dirty politics. These group of peace-loving concerned citizens merely wanted to show what they are expecting, that is a brighter and better Malaysia for all Malaysians regardless of who or what race is he or she. Asides, these groups of people are also not affiliated to any political parties at all. So, why are the police looking at these people like if they were Malaysia's greatest threats of all? The police force are focusing on things that are to petty to go after with. What about all those po...

Recently, there are about hundred over gunmen calling themselves the "Royal Army of the Sulu Sultanate" intruded into the Malaysian waters and invaded a focus area in Sabah of which they claim to have historical interests with. According to an old man who claimed to be Sultan Jamalul Kiram of Sulu, his "royal army" would not leave Sabah until their claims are being recognized by both the Philippines and the Malaysian governments. It looks like more a threat to the security of our nation than just a mere joke from a clown like Jamalul Kiram. All his men which was led by his "Raja Muda" were heavily armed with machine guns and rocket launchers. So, from what you have been observing the situation there in Sabah, the state already have enough of foreigners and there comes another group, this time a heavily armed one coming over to claim the state as one of theirs. How come the home affairs minister (Hishammuddin Hussein) as well as the defense minister (A...

Last year, the retired Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Musa Hasan dropped a bombshell in a crime watch seminar and forum by alleging that the police force is currently tainted with politics, interference and link to the underworld (secret societies and triads) organizations. If all these allegations were made, then an investigation ought to be carried out in order to determine if the entire police force is really tainted with such negative elements and so on before it gets out of control. The other question is, did Tan Sri Musa made all these allegations to obtain some profits or kickbacks from anyone. No one knows it. The only thing in our mind is it is either true or false. True, in the sense that Tan Sri Musa has been frustrated during his tenure as the Inspector-General of Police because of such negative elements within the force, and false, where he might have been made use by some other political elements in order to embarrass the police force and the Home Affairs Ministr...

Recently, the former Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Musa Hasan had alleged that there are a lots of political interference  and criminal elements within the police force during his tenure. According to Musa, political interference include direct instructions were given by the Home Minister as well as the other cabinet ministers, while criminal elements include those crime bosses who had close connections with top political leaders and would go straight to the political channels whenever their henchmen got arrested or detained. If Musa's claims are true, then the Home Minister ought to give an explanation onto all these allegations as it came from a retired top police official. How come Hishammuddin Hussein is still so quiet on this issue. So does the Prime Minister. What about the current high command of the police force? Why are they also keeping so quiet on this? Are all these top people up there quietly admitting that there are really such thing happening in ...

This is indeed very, very surprise move made by the former inspector-general of police Tan Sri Musa Hassan. According to him, during his tenure as IGP, ministers frequently interfere with police investigations and arrests, a practice that continues even up to today. On of those ministers who has been always been interfering in many police investigation and arrests was none other than the home minister and Umno vice-president Hishammuddin Hussein but Musa did not name the other ministers who are also involve. The present IGP Tan Sri Ismail Omar is considered as a yes-man. Among kinds of interference in police works include, direct orders or instructions usually came from officials from the home ministry, the minister's private secretary and political secretary, ministers of other portfolios. Apart from that, in many occasions, police officers below the IGP received instructions directly from the above, thus bypassing the IGP himself. In this case, we would urge Musa to reve...

A superbike adventure by a group with police connections yesterday at the North Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) has ended with one death, a 53-year old rider.  The other five riders who are riding closely were also injured quite bad. What happened? Well, according to a superbiker, he claimed that they were riding on the fast lane when suddenly a car from the middle lane got to the left side and guess what? All six of them were deliberately hit. One of the injured biker is a traffic police officer carrying the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP). We would not know if what has been alleged by one of the injured biker was true or otherwise, as everyone knows it happened just to fast and unexpected. Furthermore, as seen in some of the newspaper reports, they are all mostly focusing on the "sadness" or "sorrow" sight of these superbikers. Nothing has been reported on what had really transpired from that car driver who had eventually went over to the fa...

The police today had released a list of 49 persons wanted in connection with their participation of the recently concluded Bersih 3.0 which was held in Dataran Merdeka on 28th April 2012 last week. Looks like the police would begin their witch hunting all those who gathered for Bersih 3.0 soon, starting with 49 persons identified via various pictures and it is expected that more arrests would soon take place. The problem is, the police will commence their crack down on our people soon, but who will then "crack down" on all those errant police personnel and officers who did all sorts of action which are against the law and human rights? Is there any independent source that would professionally validate and verify that all necessary actions has been taken against all those indiscipline policemen for their negative actions on that day? The answer is no. There is none. Yes, we heard the police top officials said so many times in their press release that they would also g...

BN-linked gangsters last night launched a massive assault on some students activists and representatives who had vowed to camp at Dataran Merdeka until this coming 28 April 2012, the date that the Bersih 3.0 rally would take place. It shows the desperation of the BN now and due to the worrying on the growing dissent of the people, these BN leaders has decided to use forms of violence and scare tactics in order to force our people into submission. And that is why you could see when these BN-linked thugs attacked the student activists, the 20 over police personnel who were on standby mode there did not dare to step in to stop the attacks and only did so when one of the students pleaded to these officers ti intervene. By the time the police came, many of the thugs had escaped. So, what is the point the police being stationed there then? As the result of the attack, most of the students suffer injuries and one of them was send to the hospital for treatment. Apart from that, their ...

Social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter have made Malaysians more “liberal” and thus more willing to commit acts that can "threaten" the national security of this country, a top police official have said. Internal security and public order director Datuk Salleh Mat Rasid said the internet posed a challenge to the police as it has allowed people “to know what was going on in and outside the country”. This means Datuk Salleh is very much in favour of some sort of dictatorship and a one-party rule in this country, like the one of Nazi or Fascist kind of governing institution. He simply wants the BN federal government (his bosses up there) to get rid of democracy as soon as possible in order to make things easy for the police and so that the police special branch too can roll out their terminators to get rid of dissidents and oppositions to this government. Datuk Salleh wanted the force to be given full authority to purge the people without fear, he wanted the force to...

Why were the police special branch (SB) personnel there disguised as journalists and cameramen. They were seen pushing the crowd while Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, his family and Pakatan Rakyat leaders were coming out of the main gate of the court house. What is their actual intention of doing that? We supposed if they were to push harder and make the crowd angry, those in uniform would be able to take action, start shooting their tear gas, fire the rubber bullets and lastly ambush the people over there. This is the reason they are wanting to create. To track these real trouble makers, check the videos posted in the Internet. Shouldn't they be there among the crowd to nab those anti-Anwar protestors, Perkasa, Perkida and Pembela, or even Umno provocateurs who might do the mischiefs and plotting to sabotage, like planting these bombs? Then, why on earth would these 901 and Pakatan Rakyat supporters want to place bombs at the very place they would be holding their rall...

When we heard of the intention by the BN federal government to table the Peaceful Assembly Bill in the parliament, we were not surprise after all. This effort mounted by the Umno in particular was intended to curb all dissent and freedom of speech by our people. They had indeed saw the increasing dissatisfaction of our people towards their governance, they use the police force to curb all these dissidents, political oppositions, human rights groups and other NGOs from properly demonstrating their basic human rights enshrined in the Federal Constitution. It is clear that from the content of the so-called Peaceful Assembly Bill, many clauses pertaining to the restrictions and control on our people's right to assemble, and even the our rights to express our opinions toward policies, the consideration of the permit to assemble and the criteria to apply for the same. All these purpose were clearly defined, it is to restrict our democratic rights. Better to call it, "Restriction of ...

Well, the Seksualiti Merdeka indoor festival which was supposed to commence soon has been called off due to the police ban and the threats of violence issued by Perkasa and many more pro-Umno non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The police ban was announced by the inspector-general of police last week and it has been seen that this ban was only for the sake of banning it, after Perkasa and the other ultra-rightist NGOs issued their threat to harm the participants. The IGP and the police force had in fact failed to understand the objectives behind this Seksualiti Merdeka indoor festival. They merely used those many police reports lodged to judge, they merely listen to all those claims alleged by these police report makers, the police did not really go deeper into their investigation and just based on the pressure of these violent ultra-rightist NGOs to ban the "victim" instead. That means the police failed to use their intelligence and professionalism in determining this sub...

The riot police broke their own standard operating procedures (SOP) by firing tear gas and water cannons when dispersing Bersih 2.0 rally marchers at the Tung Shin Hospital on 9th July, a Health Ministry investigation has concluded. Home ministry secretary-general Tan Sri Mahmood Adam said tonight that errant policemen would be referred to the police’s disciplinary board. The investigation results concluded that there were unethical actions which were beyond the SOP of the police force during their errant crackdown on the said rally. It clearly shows that what had been stated and denied earlier by both the health minister and MCA deputy president Liow Tiong Lai and the home minister and Umno vice-president Hishammuddin Hussein himself were proven to be baseless and political motivated aimed to cover-up the truth. The reported conducted by the home ministry officials themselves had in fact embarrassed the home minister himself who had earlier denied the police strong arm tactics against...
