Ni Apa Hal - Buat Kerja Pun Kena Siasat ACA

Prologue
Apa nak jadi dengan negara ku ini. Polis yang tangkap orang kerana orang tu disyaki terlibat dalam aktiviti haram, polis pulak yang kena siasat. Kalau ia pun polis tu niaya orang, tak bolehkah siasat dulu orang yang ditangkap tu. Kalau betul tindakan polis, habis cerita. Semua orang happy, tak ada mata-mata atau bos mata-mata (pegawai kanan lah) kecik hati atau demoralised. Kalau betul polis salah guna kuasa, suka-suka tangkap orang, belasah polis.

Bayangkan senario ni. Pak Cik Mat dari Kampong Tiang Sebatang datang balai polis, buat repot kata kena tipu oleh wakil rakyat pasal nak dapat subsidi baja. Tup-tup wakil rakyat buat repot kata Pak Cik Mat fitnah. Laporan Pak Cik Mat tak disiasat sebaliknya Pak Cik Mat yang kena soaldesak dek polis. Betul ke ni? Tak boleh ke siasat dulu laporan polis Pak Cik Mat? Kalau betul pak cik Mat buat laporan palsu, ambil tindakan undang-undang (seksyen 182 KK kalau tak silap). Boleh kan, kan, kan?

Aku merepek pasal apa ni. Alah! pasal dua ekor pegawai polis yang kena siasat dengan BPR sebaik selepas tangkap satu tauke Johor di bawah Akta Kediaman Terhad tu. Baca lah posting gua berikut ni.

I understand the fact that a newspaper is a business like any other business. Bottomlines and sales matters. In rushing to capture readers and thereby buyers attention can’t the Malaysian press be objective and professional rather than sensational? I am of course referring to today’s (13/8/07) NST headlines of:-
“Split In The Force : CLEARED By The Secret Societies, Vice & Gaming Division Of Bukit Aman And The Anti Corruption Agency, Johore Businessman At Centre Of Allegations Against The IGP Is – ARRESTED By The Commercial Crime Division And Banished To Jeli, Kelantan Under The Restricted Residence Act. The ACA Wants To Know WHY?”

A cursory reading of the headlines will show abuse of powers by the police i.e. the Commercial Crime Investigation Department in taking action under the Restricted Residence Act against an innocent businessman. Only on further reading will the intelligent reader realized that the businessman has been cleared by the Anti Corruption Agency (ACA) on allegations of offering a RM 2 million bribe to a senior police officer and not of his alleged involvement in illegal gaming activities. Or has the ACA also cleared the businessman of his (businessman) alleged masterminding of illegal gaming activities in Johore (some say also expanding to the rest of Malaysia).

Now if the ACA is also investigating into such allegations, isn’t that enroaching into the jurisdiction of another law enforcement agency? This of course brings us to another issue raised by the NST, that of the CCD not having jurisdiction to act against illegal gaming activities. I have no paper qualifications in law but no where in the Criminal Procedure Code or the Police Act does it state that police powers are compartmentalized. Do you mean to say that a marine police officer cannot issue a summon to a traffic offender? You get my drift, right!

The ACA is now investigating or dare I say interrogating the two officers who arrested said businessman for abuse of power and making false statements under section 192 and 211 of the Penal Code. Why jump on the two officers first. Why don’t some one investigates the businessman first. Is he involved in illegal activities or not. I was never an excellent investigator but I would definitely want to know how that businessman starts his business. Where does he obtain the funds to start his business. What is his background. I have spent some time in the Anti Secret Societies, Vice & Gaming Branch of the CID and I can tell you that I have seen my fair share of currently successful businessmen with multi million ringgit business empires who were formerly part and parcel of the vice and gaming syndicates. Oh! you mean this guys has repented and are now respectable members of society and are no longer involved either directly or indirectly in such illegal activities.

If that is the case can I suggest to my younger Malaysians (it is too late for me) to accumulate wealth through illegal means, kowtim here and there to avoid being caught and penalized and with the money, start a legitimate business,. Joins a golf club and then become a respectable member of society. I have have repented what, cannot ahh! What is the NST trying to do by such loopsided reporting. By all means, report. The public has the right to know what is supposed to be happening in BolehLand but let’s be objective. If the NST is sincere in it’s reporting, why don’t they send in the investigative reporters. I am sure NST has investigative reporters or at least understands the concept of investigative reporting right? You know, something like the two reporters in the US that breaks the Watergate Scandal. Or do the NST reports only what the political masters cum owners wants to be reported to the rakyat.

Go down to the ground gentlemen reporters, investigate, talk to all levels of the rakyat. Talk to police officers on the ground, from both sides mind you. You want to know the good side of a guy, talk to his friend, the dark side, talk to his enemies. Find out for once and for forever. Is the businessman innocent or otherwise. If he is innocent, has he been that way through out his life or is he a born again model citizen. Let matters rest once and for all and lets get on with life shall we?

Epilogue
Pertaining to that businessman, both the ACA guy and the police chap, has been investigated and cleared by the ACA. I’m just wondering, has any competent person or agency investigated and cleared this businessman fellow of any wrongdoings. After all he is the centre of all this brouhahah. If no one malaysian or malaysian body can be trusted, why not call in the FBI. Independent what.

Dulu tuan kijer kat Maktab Polis DiRaja Malaysia (MPDRM)(Dolu MPKPKL) naper tuan tak citer fasal banyak sangat korapsi yang berlaku dalam Maktab?
Sejak zaman Dato Nyomek ak Nyamok lagik?
Bila mai Dato Benjamin Netanyahu berterusan juga..... ?
Kini Dato Shahbudin baru sahaja ditabalkan menjadi pengemudi MPDRM...harap-harap new broom sweeps clean lah. Jadilah macam Dato Dr Khir Toyo MB Selangor sikit Dato Shahbudin oiii
Cuma tak puas hati nak citer kat blog tuan ni.... TABUNG PELAJAR MPDRM KALAU NAK IKUT DUIT YANG DIKUTIP BANYAK SEJAK IA TUBUHKAN DARI TAHUN 1998... KIRA SAHAJALAH SETIAP STUDENT YANG MASUK DIKENAKAN BAYARAN RM5.00 SEORANG...DALAM SETAHUN ADA 1500 STUDENT DAN DARAB SAHAJA DENGAN JUMLAH TAHUNNYA? YANG HERAN DUIT YANG DIPERUNTUKAMN UNTUK MEMBELI BUKU TIADA SATU PUN BUKU DIBELI UNTUK PERPUSTAKAAN..KEMANA PERGI DUIT ITU..... DITAMBAH DENGAN DUIT MESS MPDRM PULA?
Bayangkan di MPDRM ada seorang Sarjan boleh mengenepikan pegawai atasan dalam menentukan arah dan mengemudi pembangunan MPDRM. Mak aii Sarjan jer mana pi pegawainya? Standard Sarjan ni golfing? Sering membelakangkan pegawai atasan sebab urusannya hanya dengan kontraktor. Dah kaya dah Sarjan ni tuan? Kalau Dato Ramli boleh dimahkamahkan kenapa tidak Sarjan ini? Tak caya datanglah MPDRM buat siasatan..... hehehe harap-harap Komandan baru MPDRM peka bab ini semua... bukan sahaja itu...peg kewangan pun sama juga....sejak masuk polis sampai sekarang tidak pernah ditukarkan keluar dari MPDRM ..apa sepesial sangatnya pegawai itu? Dia lagi kaya???
