You can kill people and throw them off buildings in this country, but God forbid you should “bite” a cop.
Let’s start by some truly, truly incredulous statements from the judgment:
Batu MP and PKR strategic director Tian Chua was today fined RM3,000 and jailed six months after being found guilty of biting a police constable and preventing the latter from discharging his duty.
Earlier, magistrate Mohd Faizi Che Abu found Chua not to be a credible witness as his defence was a mere denial.
“Even a video recording submitted by the defence showed he had resisted arrest.
“Although the video recording did not show the biting, I believe it did as the policeman had testified that he had punched the accused and Chua had retaliated by biting,” said the magistrate.
Mohd Faizi however said the policeman was not on trial but the accused was.
“I find the policeman’s credibility intact as he did admit when testifying at the prosecution stage that he punched Tian Chua,” said the magistrate.
He said that the sentence meted out to Chua should send a message to the public to respect the court and the law of the land.
O_O ?!?!
I cannot help but feel that swearing is the appropriate response.
So let me get this straight, the magistrate – our representative of Malaysia’s mighty paragon of integrity, the justice system – has decided to uphold the testimony and integrity of this one policeman, BECAUSE HE ADMITTED HE PUNCHED AN ARRESTEE.
And he’s talking about a sending a -ing message?!
I think the message clearly is: it’s ok to abuse prisoners sayang, it will just make any testimonies you give more credible.
But nevermind. We’re concerned with the truth, no? Let’s look at the videos once again.
Here’s the short version, wherein the punching can clearly be seen:
And here’s the long version, action around 6.30 onwards:
So the cop in question is the guy in blue. He shamelessly punches Tian in the head, wherein Tian says “Eh, you jangan pukul saya, jangan pukul.”
Nowhere is there a “Jangan gigit!” or any cry of pain, or ANY indication of a biting.
So what is this 2 bit magistrate basing his judgment on? The testimony of a proven thug.
Hukum rimba!!
PLEASE BE NOT OVERWELMED BY SHOCK & DISBELEIVE WHEN YOU HEAR THAT OUR JUDICIARY & JUSTICE DEPTS. BEING COMMERCIALISED & CROOKETISED TO BE LISTED IN THE BURSA MALAYSIA-2ND BOARD SOON…….
The bodohlogic of a magicstreak jug!
4th world yet? Hail the new world.
Yes. This is Malaysia. In Malaysia, it is Polis Raja Di Malaysia for nothing. The whole system is so screwed up. In many other countries, the polis would be the one going to jail. However in Malaysia, it’s the victim who goes to jail.
Simply no words for it ! I think evn kids can judge with better sense. Why need to be dressed in honourable suit when simple justice can’t be dispense rightly ? Change job and choose maybe to be a political secretary to the top VVIP and shake legs all day long !
I thought thugs like UMNO only use security forces (cops, FRU, military) to bully civilians. What the heck…even the judiciary system & justice dept are at thier side too.
Gosh..everything is corrupt under this government.
don’t blame the magistrate,blame kutti mahathir cos he corrupted the judiciary and lingam monopolised the judges
The magistrate is lowly educated and does not understand the basic concept of law and order. More importantly he will be judged one day by God. No amount of of trips to Mecca will be able to absolve him of his participation in this gross injustice to an innoncent man.
Bollocks!
What the HELL?
PKR has a DRACULA & his name is TIAN CHUA.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Only PONDANS will BITE to defend themselves.
The justice system has become incresingly barbaric! It looks like gangsters and criminals including rapist and murderers have joint the police force, especially that notorious Special Branch! Why is the Bar Council silent on this? They must issue a very strong and affective statement, to condemn the police force and demand an overhaul of the police force! Is it any wonder that crime rates are going up, with such gangster police force?!

it’s amazing what those in power think they can get away with. the horrible truth is that they CAN indeed get away with it.
The magistrate is indirectly asking Tian Chua tu appeal and use the police confession to rebut the case….
Many of us do not have the confidence in the Malaysian judiciary at all. In that context I always wonder why then does one subject oneself to it. If you do not have confidence in that institution, whether the Judiciary, Police or whatever, one then must not recognise its authority over you.
That is the only way Malaysians can without doubt tell off these institutions that they are of no relevance. All right thinking Malaysians must consider this aspect of the situation. Otherwise things will never change.
Haik Hitler!
In the Karpal Singh being attacked by Umno Youth (Fevb26 2009)_the Inspector-General of Police (IGP Tan Sri Musa Hasan) says that he has no jurisdiction in the Parliament and to take action on anyone, including criminal offence.
So what Tian Chua did was self defense and the PDRM has no business being in Parliament. Can the lawyer argue this case?
Next time, if you are beaten up by the Malaysian Police, you must let him beat you until he shiok.
If you fight back, Malaysian Judge will jail you for 6 months.
what a clown! ….but i must admit it was humorous.
lol
dear sir,
Since the cop had admitted in a court of law that he had assaulted Tian Chua, a member of an August House called Parliament, couldn’t the Magistrate had taken cognizance of this fact and directed the DPP to initiate criminal charges be preferred aginst this thug of a cop?
Alternatively, since this admission of assault by the cop is in the public domain, can we expect our beloved Attorney-General to wake -up from his self-induced stupor and have this thug charged in Court?
Oooops I am sorry! I am soooo sorry! This is Malaysia rite? Looks like I am day-dreaming with self-induced wishful thinking!!

A cop who punches and not ashamed to admit is is trustworthy… His word is sufficient, and there is no longer need for evidence?
Yet another dimension of 1Malaysia.
Fuck the whole system!!! This country is doom
I believe the cop just wanted to make an excuse that Tian Chua bite him after reliasing that the action being recorded. Sure enough Tian Chua have a good set of teeth to leave a mark on the policeman’s hand…or Chua is toothless.
so what if he bites? it was in self defence. bangang..
So I guess the MACC officers must be telling the truth because they threw Teoh out of the window?
Wat to do?Malaysia courts r just like zoos in Australia,a bunch of kangaroo jumping up n down..
Oh I see, this is how the judgement was passed by the judge. Only need to admit what actually happened and you’ll be a trustworthy person in the eye of the judge. And no further evident needed to support your claims.
[...] Tian did not bite a cop. And no magistrate should consider solely the testimony of a cop who beat up a detainee just [...]
