MORE PICS - RETALIATORY ATTACK [CAR RAMMED & SLASHED] on KLANG HEALTH DIRECTOR For Closing Entertainment centres & Freezing of Licences

To many, in the law of the jungle, when their “rice bowl” is destroyed; they can only resort to violence to communicate. This attack is a physical communication telling the other party that “a wrong has been done” to the aggrieved party. The legal laws (for entertainment licences) are man made & created to fence up the individuals and restrict their spontaniety in doing things. In our society, the natural communication of aggression has broken down. We have confused violence with aggression and restrain the communicative elements of aggression while ignoring its many positive values, until its natural power becomes dammed up, naturally exploding into violence. Violence is therefore a distortion of aggression.

But there is never any justification for violence. There is no justification for hatred. There is no justification for murder. Those who indulge in violence (even on the virtual screen) for whatever reason are themselves changed, and the purity of their purpose adultered.

Council health chief hurt in horror attack; Tuesday November 28, 2006

By EDWARD RAJENDRA

SHAH ALAM: His entire life flashed before him as a one-tonne lorry rammed into his Naza Citra and three men rushed up to attack him with a machete and iron rods. “I thought I was going to die,” said Klang Municipal Council health director Dr Nasruddin Aspan as he recounted the attack that occurred shortly after he left his Taman Menegun Indah house here at about 7.30am yesterday for work. Dr Nasruddin said he locked himself in the car when he saw the driver of the lorry getting out and heading towards him. Moments earlier, the man had driven the lorry into the right side of his MPV where he was seated, smashing the door.

Two other men got out from a brown Proton Gen 2 parked a little further down the road and also ran towards the MPV, armed with a machete and iron rods.

“The men began smashing my car windscreen and windows. Then they slashed and hit me through the broken window. “I kept sounding the horn as they hit me, first with my hands, and later with my right foot as I fell over to the passenger seat bleeding,” he related, still shaken from the experience.

“I thought I was going to die and kept thinking about my three young sons. This is the first time in my career that I have been ambushed and attacked in this way.” He noticed some people witnessing the attack, but none dared to come forward to help. Thankfully, someone called the police.

Dr Nasruddin sustained a deep gash on the left side of his head which required eight stitches as well as bruises on his face and hands. Although he did not know why he was attacked, and by whom, Dr Nasruddin suspected it could be due to the closure of entertainment centres or the freezing of licences. “I was just doing my duty,” he added. Dr Nasruddin also recalled how a blue Proton Wira had tailed him from his house to the council office last Friday but he had shrugged off the matter. Shah Alam deputy OCPD Supt Edward Kromol said checks revealed that the lorry was reported stolen outside the Dynasty Hotel in Sentul, Kuala Lumpur, on Sunday.

He believed the men were hired to injure Dr Nasruddin. The men left in the Proton Gen 2 and abandoned the lorry. “We checked the number plate of the Proton and traced it to the owner in Taman Aman, Kapar. We will question him to verify if his car was stolen,” he said. State executive councillor Datuk Abdul Rahman Palil and MPK council president Abdul Bakir Zin visited Dr Nasruddin at his home in the afternoon. Abdul Bakir said the council would place a few enforcement officers at the house to protect Dr Nasruddin and his family.
