What did Deputy OCPD actually say?

Friday, 25-11-2005

Sin Chew reported today that the deputy OCPD of PJ police station admitted that the policewoman in the MMS clip is their officer, whereas the TV3 news last night (mid night) reported that the OCPD of PJ police station denied that the lady is their officer. Who is correct here?

I just glanced through the headline story of Chinese night papers. Deputy IGP Musa Hassan said that it is normal procedure for police officers to ask detainees to strip and do ear-squat. It is to check whether the detainees consist of any drugs or not.

I then called the former police officer-turned lawyer Sankara Nair for a legal opinion and he said there is no such provision in the Inspector General’s Standing Order (IGSO).

I can only assume the police are feeling very embarrass now and they are looking for excuses to justify an unlawful act.

It’s been such a busy day

Today is a very busy day for me. My mobile phone has been ringing non-stop since morning. I had to re-charge the battery twice in the afternoon.

Many journalists called and asked for the MMS visual but I was reluctant to give to them as I do not think it’s wise to court unnecessary trouble and give the authorities an excuse to take action against me. I’m not that blonde, you know? :-)

I was unable to answer many of the calls as I was rushing to write my request to the Speaker to ask for an emergency motion in Parliament next Monday. Many people are very happy to see the misconduct of police being exposed. (more…)

The MMS Story

Yesterday was an interesting day. Someone dropped a VCD in to my office which showed a naked woman (most likely is Chinese) doing ear-squat in a police lock-up in the presence of a policewoman.

The VCD proves the testimony of the four Chinese nationals who were put in police lock-up during the recent Hari Raya period.

I was aware of the existence of this VCD clip before when after the China women issue being blown up by press, I was told by a friend in Johor about this visuals that was being spread among users’ mobile phone via MMS. I was told the visual in the VCD was a copy of what was being transfered around between mobile phone isers.. (more…)
