A Kuala Lumpur police team is under investigation by Selangor police following a botched raid in Puchong a fortnight ago.

The raid, carried out by a team from the city’s anti-vehicle theft division, went awry after their ‘target’ put up a fight, thinking that the plainclothes policemen who broke into his home were robbers.

The ‘target’ turned out to be a mechanic in his 20s who had just shifted into the terrace house in Puchong.

The mechanic tried to attack the police team with a glass shard, forcing a member of the five-man team to fire a warning shot.

After checking the mechanic’s identity, the police team realised that he was not the wanted person. They sent him to a clinic to stitch up a cut on his hand.

The mechanic was not about to let the police get off lightly.

He lodged a report at the Subang Jaya district police headquarters the following day, claiming that the police team had broken into his house and that valuables were missing after the incident. (more…)

Seputeh is a big urban constituency, and it’s always an uphill battle trying to solve the 1,001 problems with limited fund and resources. I am just glad I have a dedicated core team that helps keep me sane. Many of the problems are council-related and it’s about time local government elections are re-introduced.

As usual I am bogged down by work. I have been busy meeting people to raise some fund for the party and my service centre, busy discussing plans for the party’s 40th anniversary, busy handling complaints etc. Because of this, the blog had to take a backseat. But hey, I’m blogging now.

Two complaints related to the police came to me in the past 48 hours. One was from Soon Ka Shon. You’d probably have read about it in Malaysiakini and Chinese papers The other was about a mother who is trying to save her 20-year-old son from being put in Simpang Renggang detention camp. (more…)
