Datuk Seri Abdullah “I have informed Tan Sri Musa Hassan (Deputy IGP) to conduct an open investigation immediately”
JITRA, Aug 27 (Bernama) -- Deputy Internal Security Minister Datuk Mohd Johari Baharom described a video clip showing several policemen beating a youth during an interrogation as very disparaging.
"It shouldn't have happened... with kicks... (I) don't agree," he told reporters when asked to comment on the video clip shown by TV3 on its Buletin Utama news programme last night.
He said Deputy Inspector-General of Police, whom he had ontacted over the video clip had assured him that the case was being investigated.
Mohd Johari, who is also Kubang Pasu Member of Parliament, said the incident was believed to have occurred at Subang Jaya police station in May.
"It's too early to comment on it but I hope to receive a full report on the incident," he said, adding that he himself had watched the news bulletin. He said the officers and policemen involved in the incident were still working but police had begun investigation into the case.
On allegation by a teacher that he was handcuffed for voicing his displeasure at a policeman who reprimanded his wife for not wearing a seat belt while driving, Mohd Johari said he had not received the report yet.
The teacher, Afendi Ismail, 27, claimed that he was treated like a criminal for he was handcuffed while being taken to Jitra police station where he was not allowed to sit for two hours.
"We have to find out the actual reason. I can't comment because I have yet to get the report," said Mohd Johari. –
IGP to order probe into alleged police assault aired over TV
Police will investigate the alleged assault of two youths by uniformed "policemen" aired over a news clip on TV3's Bulletin Utama yesterday.
"If it is true, we will take action similar like what we had taken in other cases,' he told reporters.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Bakri Omar said he would direct his officers to probe the incident which appeared to have occurred in what could have been a police station.
The four-minute clip, which also showed a youth being forced to lick his saliva off the floor, is believed to have been recorded on a handphone because of its poor quality.
"If it is true, we will take action similar like what we had taken in other cases,' he told reporters after presenting the coveted Special Task Force's grey beret to Sultan Ahmad Shah of Pahang at Darul Makmur Stadium today.
Mohd Bakri said he could not comment further on the matter as he had not seen the clip.
The Police, he added, would get more information on the incident from the television station.
He said the first thing to do was to establish where the alleged incident occurred.
"We also want to know why no report was lodged,' he added.
Mohd Bakri said he would be very strict in the matter as "I am very firm, you don't know me."
here is the STAR's Report

“The interrogation of the suspects was done badly. It should not have happened this way,” he said here yesterday.
Johari was asked to comment on a video clip aired by a local television station on Saturday night that showed several policemen beating up two suspects during interrogation. The clip is said to be circulating on the Internet.
Johari said he was informed that the two suspects, who were arrested for theft, had been charged in court.
“Police have also identified the person who recorded the incident and he has been called up for questioning,” he said.
Johari said the image was uploaded onto the Internet when the policeman sent his mobile phone for repairs.

In Kuantan, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Bakri Omar said stern action would be taken against those involved in the alleged assault.
Mohd Bakri said he has instructed his officers to conduct an internal investigation into the matter urgently.
“We will get more information from TV3 pertaining to the alleged incident. I did not watch the news yesterday (Saturday). Don’t expect me to watch television every night.
“I can’t comment further on an incident which I have no knowledge of,” he told reporters after attending a demonstration by the Special Action Team for the Sultan Pahang Sultan Ahmad Shah at the Darul Makmur Stadium here yesterday.
“If what was portrayed is found to be true, action will be taken as in similar cases previously. I am very firm (about this),” he said.
On the increase in the number of crimes nationwide, especially snatch thefts, Mohd Bakri said police would continue to work hard to maintain law and order with the resources that they had.
He said a study was needed to identify the causes for the increase in crime.
“There are many factors involved. Don’t expect the police to give ready answers or solutions,” he said.
Citing the crime-solving rate of over 40%, Mohd Bakri said all CPOs and OCPDs would conduct a study on the crime patterns in their areas.
“It is our bread and butter to know the trend and who are the ones responsible. That’s why we are able to solve crimes.”

Amensty International Call:
AI: 'Police brutality' clip justifies IPCMC; Aug 28, 06 4:28pm [extract]
The latest incident of alleged police brutality aired on television recently
revealed the urgency and importance of establishing an independent and
transparent oversight mechanism, said Amnesty International (AI) Malaysia.
In a statement today, AI Malaysia executive director Josef Roy Benedict said
it is time Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi looked into the issues of
police accountability rather than issuing ad-hoc directives to probe police
abuses and human rights violations.
"Therefore we urge the prime minister to immediately implement the long awaited IPCMC (Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission) mechanism without further delay," he added.

The two-minute clip, which shocked viewers, showed two men, handcuffed, sitting on the floor with several men standing around them.
One of the men, who was standing, landed a kick on one of the suspects' head and back, resulting in one of the men bleeding from the head.
Later, the cameraman was heard shouting to the suspects to lick a puddle on the floor, possibly the suspect's own saliva. The suspect was seen wiping the floor with a piece of cloth.
Later, a man in a police uniform appeared and cleaned up one of the suspects. The uniformed man tried to pacify the other man who had kicked the suspect earlier, when the latter tried to kick again. He managed to hit a suspect with his heel.
Following the airing of the clip, Federal police headquarters special officer, Assistant Superintendent Azizul Mohd Taharin, visited TV3 headquarters in Sri Pentas, Bandar Utama, at
A recording of the clip was handed over to police to facilitate investigations.
Soon after, a team from Bukit Aman was sent to the Subang Jaya police headquarters at

Police have identified the policemen in the clip after checking their images with their database and believe that the recording was made using a cellphone.
Subang Jaya police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Fuad Talib was unavailable for comment as he is overseas. He is expected to return today.
NST called for a Restricted use of Hand phone;
Use of handphones in 'sensitive' places to be more limited
Use of handphones in "sensitive" areas such as police lock-ups will be strictly limited.
Deputy Internal Security Minister Datuk Mohd Johari Baharom said this was to prevent "irresponsible quarters" from video-taping incidents in such places.
"The ministry will study the appropriateness of using hand phones in sensitive spots like lock-ups," he said after the ministry's monthly gathering here.
Johari was commenting on the alleged assault of two youths by uniformed men which was recorded through a handphone and was later aired over TV3's Bulletin Utama last Saturday.
The four-minute clip, which also showed a youth being forced to lick his saliva off the floor, is believed to have been recorded on a handphone due to its poor quality.
On the worsening crime rate, Johari said more CCTVs would be installed at identified "high-risk" areas in major towns.
"We hope the public will be more extra careful when they are out of their house and not rely totally on the police for their safety."
