ps- on this subject, do see Haris Ibrahim’s latest update on a recent death in detention.
After much work, we finally have our latest book out – this blog post will constitute its ‘soft launch’ :)
The book, published by Kinibooks, is entitled “Where is Justice? Death and Brutality in Custody” and features 4 major case studies [...]
LKS:
Denying that the mysterious death of DAP political aide Teoh Beng Hock at the MACC headquarters at Plaza Masalam, Shah Alam on July 16, 2009 had attributed to his early retirement, Ahmad said:
“Teoh Beng Hock’s case is nothing. It is a very small case. We have handled much bigger cases.’’
Really?
That’s strange, I don’t seem to [...]
Murderers run free in Subang and KL, and who are we detaining?
Diplomat’s wives :|
Rela officers have come under fire from the Indonesian Embassy here following the harsh treatment of an Indonesian diplomat’s wife and a university student during the agency’s anti-illegal immigrant operations in Chow Kit and Kajang.
Muslianah Nurdin was detained by a Rela [...]
I’m worried that the police are going to show as much negligence in investigating K Sujatha as the prosecution is showing in Altantuya’s case.
Synopsis of sketchy details:
- Sujatha died from paraquat poisoning. Paraquat is a controlled substance, and not easily available.
- The intake of paraquat happened at Sujatha’s residence in Jln Ipoh, a stone’s throw [...]
This comes a little late, but just had to go on record stating what nonsense this is. People cleared of such high profile allegations in mere days/weeks? Obviously every Malaysian government servant and GLC (government-linked-crony) is an innocent saint.
DS Anwar may have said it best:
Abdul Gani Patail, Peguam Negara segera membersihkan Ketua Polis Negara, Musa [...]
Breaking news from Malaysiakini:
Barisan Nasional backbenchers Mohd Said Yusof and Bung Mokthar Radin today apologised over their sexist remarks made in the Parliament last week.
The apology came about after a 45-minute meeting with the Women, Family and Community Development Minister Shahrizat Abdul Jalil this morning.
Well, that’s some progress. But, my favourite part:
Shahrizat meanwhile said no [...]
I’m in a bit of a rush this morning, so apologies to Malaysiakini for such extensive cutting and pasting:
A police report was lodged at the Tebong police station near Machap this afternoon by the DAP after they received information that voters were allegedly paid up to RM200 each at a BN operation room.
According to [...]
I’ll confess that I didn’t know anything about this until last night (fireworks, dad and aunt) and today (KTemoc), but it’s a pretty darn interesting story (the corny rainbow is over a sugar cane field, apparently :)
Also just wanted to let the world know that this Hokkien lang was still alive [...]
Re: Tun Mahathir – see the Police Watch statement questioning his credibility to lead a War Crimes Commission. They quoted an IHT article which young fellas like me found new and disturbing.

The Star carries MIC Youth chief SA Vigneswaran’s plea to the police to stop using the Emergency Ordinance to send Indian’s to Simpang Renggam. [...]
Malaysiakini:
Some 3,000 residents of Kampung Baru Bukit Koman in Raub, Pahang, are questioning a state agency’s decision to allow the use of cyanide in a gold-mining operation in Bukit Koman.
A statement released yesterday by the residents’ committee pointed out that serious health and environmental hazards are associated with the use of cyanide.
They claimed that the [...]
Did you know that it is not against the law for the ruling party to use government machinery to campaign during elections? >:(
The facts force us to admit that Ng Chee Pang, the independent candidate in Batu Talam, is something of a joke. His latest accusations against his opponent concerning unethical campaigning may be less [...]
Malaysiakini has brutal details from the victims of the Cheras-Kajang Toll Protest. I’ll let the victims speak for themselves:
Ho Chee Loong, 28, (left) told a press conference at the DAP office in Petaling Jaya today that plainclothes officers threw punches, kicked him and handled him roughly.
“In less than a minute, they caught me [...]
