Families claim 3 youths were killed execution-style by the Malaysian police

As reported by the STAR on 9th June 2011.

On November 13th, 2010 in Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia, three youths, Muhd Shamil Hafiz Shapiei, 15, Hairul Nizam Tuah, 20, and Mohd Hanafi Omar, 22, allegedly armed with machetes, had robbed a petrol station at U1/1, Shah Alam and were in their getaway car when spotted by a police special crime prevention unit in the area.

After a high-speed chase, the suspects' car turned turtle at Jalan Kerjaya Glenmarie and the three then tried to attack the policemen with machetes.

As a result, the three youths, died after police opened fire.

The trio were suspected to be involved in a string of petrol stations robberies around Klang Valley.

However today, 9th June 2011, the families of the three youths, are claiming they have evidence the trio were killed execution-style by the police.

Lawyer N. Surendran, representing the families, alleged that the post mortem and Chemistry Department reports for two of the victims contradicted the police's version of events.

In the aftermath of the November 13h 2010 incident, the then acting Selangor police chief Datuk A. Thaiveegan said his men had no choice but to open fire at the three, believed to be members of "Geng Minyak" which targeted petrol stations.

"The report reveals that Muhd Shamil was shot in the forehead at a 45-degree angle, which suggests he was either kneeling or squatting when he was shot.

"This clearly contradicts the version by the police that he was shot while running towards the them," Surendran said, adding that the gunshot wound to Muhd Shamil's chest was also at a similar 45-degree angle.

Surendran also said according to the Chemistry Department's report, there were traces of gunshot residue on Muhd Shamil's jacket.

"If he (Muhd Shamil) was running from a distance towards his attackers, he would not have the gunshot residue on him.

"Muhd Shamil and the other two were clearly shot at point-blank distance. They were murdered execution-style," Surendran told a press conference at the PKR headquarters in Tropicana here Thursday.

He added that Hairul's gunshot wounds were on his chest and left side of the head.

"If he was running straight towards the cops, then how could it be the gunshot entree wound was on the side of the head?"

The post mortem report for Mohd Hanafi is not available yet but family members who saw the body after the shooting noted two shots to the head and chest respectively, Surendran claimed.

The families of the slain youths have urged the police to act on the latest findings and arrest the police officers and charge them with murder.

My say > if someone run away after being ordered to stop by the police, that means something is wrong with that person. If you are innocent, why run away??

Thief caught in the act

Looks like a normal family picture right..



Closeup of the family picture showing the thief in action...


Fancy this. A Would-be purse snatcher thwarted by his own photobomb.

Definitely a picture paints a thousand words.

This happened in Wisconsin, USA when a family picture recorded the thief in action.

The thief was caught in the background rummaging through a family's luggages and bags, stealing items including cash, credit cards, iPad and car keys, belonging to the Myers family.

The Myers family recently visited Madison, Wisconsin, to attend a wedding.

There, the Myers clan posed for a picture outside of the Wisconsin State Capitol building at the same moment that one guy decided to walk off with one of the family's bags.

When the Myerses took a closer look at the photo their camera had snapped just moments earlier, they noticed that they had caught the robber in the act — a felonious photobomb.

The Myers wrote in an email :

"When I saw the guy with his hand in my bag, I ran back inside and found the Capitol Police. They were amazing. They immediately sent out a description of the thief using the photo I took. In a few minutes, one officer had found him still in the area. The thief had dumped some things from the bag in a nearby trash can — the flash for my camera, a small backpack of kids toys, a bag of cables, extra SD cards, my mini tripod — but still in my bag were my wallet with cash, credit cards, hotel keys, rental car keys, and my iPad."

The Police recovered everything and hauled the guy off to jail.

A picture really paints a thousand words...

Malaysia's Women, Family and Community Development Minister, Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil met the Penan community in Batu Bungan, Baram, Sarawak, on 13th July 2010,amid fresh allegations that Penan women were raped by timber camp workers.






Women, Family and Community Development Minister, Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil flew into a remote area in Sarawak in the morning of 13th July 2010, to personally check on the issue and allegations of Penan Women being raped by timber camp workers.

Shahrizat with Penan women in Batu Bungan, Baram, Sarawak, 13th July 2010



Women, Family and Community Development Minister, Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil flew into a remote area in Sarawak in the morning of 13th July 2010, to personally check on the issue and allegations of Penan Women being raped by timber camp workers.

Shahrizat who flew into Batu Bungan, Baram on board a convoy of 5 helicopters from Miri Airport, met the old and young of the Penan community, talked to them, mingled around and addressed them in the visit which lasted almost 3 hours.

She also assured them that the rape allegations are being seriously looked into and investigated by the Sarawak and Federal Bukit Aman police.

Shahrizat said she has been instructed to personally look into the plight of the Penan people in Sarawak by the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, following fresh allegations of rape and sexual abuse of Penan women.

“It is not an easy straight-forward situation but I am very keen to reach out to them,” she told the local media upon her return from her fact-finding mission.

“I want to have a feel of the place and to have a chance to meet some of the Penan people face-to-face. I want to know how they feel and see how best the Government can help them. We already formed the National Task Force (NTF) to look specifically into the plight of Penan women and children, when the allegations first surfaced in 2009” she stressed.

During a briefing on the eve of her visit, Shahrizat told her team members that it was not right for government agencies and non-governmental organisations to make arm chair decisions from Kuala Lumpur without first consulting the very people who needed their help.

“We have to be very transparent and tell the real story, especially about the plight of Penan women and children in relation to these rape allegations,” she said.

“Rape is rape, there are no two ways about it. Whether it occurred in the deep jungle of Sarawak with Penans or in Kuala Lumpur, the perpetrators must be punished.

“The Penan community should know that now they have someone to champion their cause and that is us.”

Shahrizat also urged the police to take the Penan rape allegations seriously.

In a National Task Force report last year, the incidents of sexual abuse among Penan women and children, lack of access to basic services, including healthcare and education, and problems related to registration of identity cards and birth certificates were highlighted.

There are about 16,000 Penans living in Sarawak with about 300 of them leading nomadic life styles.

Meanwhile, the police are still waiting for the feedback from 36 non-governmental organisations (NGO) pertaining to the claims that seven more Penan women in Baram were raped by timber company workers.

Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Deputy Director (Intelligence and Operation) Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani said the NGOs which called themselves the Penan Support Group had been asked to provide further information about their claims.

Earlier, Acyrl Sani and Sarawak CID chief SAC II Huzir Mohamed accompanied Women, Family and Community Development Minister Shahrizat Abdul Jalil to a visit to the Penan settlement in Batu Bungan, Baram near Miri.

Acryl Sani said police had opened 3 investigation papers following the latest claims but would need more information because some of the names of the women concerned were pseudonyms.

"We are not taking things for granted or covering up incidents which are against the law. This does not arise at all," he said in a Bernama report.

The Penan Support Group, in a report titled "A Wider Context of Sexual Exploitation of Penan Women and Girls in Middle and Ulu Baram" recently claimed that the information on the sexual abuse of Penan women were obtained during a visit to the area in November last year.

Poor Penans... hope for a permanent solution very very soon and bring those perpetrators to justice swiftly.

Eldery woman slammed hard by Police at Walmart in Columbus, Ohio, USA

Another police brutality case in the USA??

Another case of Police Brutality in USA??

A child’s Virginia baptism party, ended up being a real shocker...!!!

Once again, the victims are non White - they looked Hispanic.

Responding to a noise complaint in Prince William County, police sought to quell the assembled crowd — who they said were making too much of a racket — by firing a Taser at the child’s grandfather and at the pregnant mother of the baptized child.

The officers said they placed a call to the homeowner, who they said was intoxicated and refused to reduce the volume.

The homeowner, 55, is a church family counselor and bible study teacher. His son, Edgar Rodriguez, claims he was Tasered three times after producing his ID for police. The elder Rodriguez was arrested for public intoxication in his own backyard.

The two say police used excessive force to quiet down “a backyard party.” A home video of the scene shows a relatively tame event.

The pregnant mother of the baptized child was also Tasered in the back after officers averred she was assaulting a police officer, and is now being held separate from her family by Customs and Immigration Enforcement.

This video is from Fox 55, broadcast August 1, 2009.

To those who glorify criminals, this is a good read

Criminals are the villains, not cops

(source – the star online)

THERE has to be some sense of trust in the police force when it involves the arrest of criminals.

Crime has increased almost two-folds within the last four years.

About 20% of serious crimes are committed by illegal immigrants and another 80% by locals. A lax police force would thus contribute to a further increase in the crime rate and more serious crimes being committed. This would bring more fear to the society.

Crime is also draining the government resources. The engagement of extra forces to combat crime, maintaining the prisons and having long trials cost the government millions that can otherwise be used to help the needy in society.

Criminals are getting more daring as there are groups in our society who would always question the police when it involves shooting and killing while engaging the criminals. This is demoralising the police force.

No police officer in his right mind would shoot a criminal if the latter does not pose a threat to his life.

Many policemen were killed while on duty and how many people have cared to sympathise with them and their bereaved families?

The society has to be wary that many of these hard-core criminals are armed. Hardly would a criminal these days enter a house without a weapon. A slight commotion would be enough for these criminals to slash their victims to death.

These have happened all too often and the aggrieved party subsequently would have to live in pain.

In most cases, the victims are not armed to fight back and most criminals would resort to violence to rob or harm the victims.

We have read about innocent people being snatched off their handbags and dying on the road, cars being hijacked and the victims harmed, victims being slashed to death in their homes and some tortured and raped.

The criminals are just brutal and merciless and they cannot be left free to carry on with their crimes. They have to be engaged in a hard-hitting manner.

The theory that poverty and unemployment are the causes of an an increase in serious crimes may not always be true.

These hard-core criminals are a totally different breed. They choose not to earn a decent income through hard work but prefer to seek a luxurious lifestyle through robbery and killing and satisfy their sexual desire by raping. These are criminals who should be purged from society for the sake of peace loving citizens.

On the other hand, the role of the police is not a painless one. Not many would want to be in the police force as it is not a safe job as their life is always at risk.
We should be grateful to these people who are willing to serve the force to help maintain law and order in the country.

If there are some miscreants in the force, this does not mean that the whole force is bad.

Let us not put down their spirit by taking them to task when criminals are shot. This matter should not be politicised to gain support from people who do not appreciate the sacrifice made by the police.

No upright policeman would want to kill an armed criminal for no reason.
