24 YEARS OLD WOMEN WAS MANHANDLED BY POLICE OFFICER
Ipoh 17/04/08 – A young girl launched police report against a Police Officer and other Police Personnel’s on the complaint that she was manhandled, usage of vulgar words and sexual harassed while she under investigation at the Police Station at Ipoh.
The 24 years old women stated in her report that the police picked up her from Balai Police Menglembu on the 02/04/08 at 02.00am after she made a Police report stating her motorbike no: AGJ 102 was missing. Mariammah who is home and a mother of 2 was remanded for 2 weeks to help on a murder case on which, usage of the missing motorbike in the murder case.
The Policeman who came with other male officers arrested her and took her with police car with male police officers only. Absence of Female Police office officers is any body’s guess. She was remanded till 13/04/08 and the Police officers started to torture her since 05/04/08 till 08/04/08 for no reason.
Mariamah also alleged that the Policeman also kicked her back and hips several times and blindfolded her when this beating was taking place. Also she says the police forced her to admit that her husband was involved in the murder case which happens few days earlier before her arrestments. The Police arrested and force her to agree with the accusation. After few hours another policeman came and tortured her verbally and told her she would be striped naked if did not agree she was involved.
Soon after she was released on 13/04/08 she came to Ipoh Barat office to inform the incident and asked us to help her. There after at 2.45 today together with my secretary we took her to lodge a police report and at that material time the computers were all down!
After half an hour when a senior police office came the system was on again.
Police report was accepted which is as follows:
Saya ingin membuat laporan Polis terhadap pegawai polis yang memukul dan menyeksa diri saya semasa siasatan dijalankan terhadap laporan Polis saya No Repot: MENGELEMBU/001055/08.
Pada 02/04/08 saya pergi ke Balai Polis Menglembu untuk buat laporan mengenai kehilangan motorsikal saya yang bernombor AGJ 102. Tanpa-tanpa apa-apa siasatan awal saya telah pun didakwa oleh pihak Polis bahawa motorsikal itu terlibat dalam kes pembunuhan.
Kemudian datangnya pegawai dari D7 yang bernama Tuan.Vijay yang saya kenali dan boleh cam rupanya. Kemudian saya digari dan dibawa ke Balai Polis Ipoh dan semasa perjalanan pada waktu malam itu tidak ada pegawai Polis wanita bersama saya.
Semasa siasatan itu, saya diseksa dan dianiayai oleh pegawai tersebut. Pegawai tersebut ada tendang pada pinggang belakang saya berulang kali dan memukul saya sehingga ada kesan lebam pada bahagian tangan dan kepala.
Pada masa yang sama, pegawai-pegawai lain yang boleh saya cam turut mengeluarkan perkataan-perkataan yang tidak senonoh (lucah) dan memaksa saya untuk mengakui segala tuduhan mereka terhadap diri saya. Mereka juga mengugut akan telanjangkan diri saya dan gangguan seksual jikalau saya gagal patuh kepada permintaan mereka.
Tujuan saya ke Balai adalah untuk membuat laporan Polis terhadap sikap pegawai-pegawai
Polis yang terlibat dalam siasatan kes saya. Harap tindakan susulan diambil terhaap pegawai-pegawai polis tersebut diatas demi keadilan.
Ini laporan saya.
Sekian terima kasih.

We hope the police will conduct an independent investigation the soonest possible. I will raise this matter in Parliament. The Government must introduce the IPCMC as many feel uncomfortable to lodge report against the police and expect the police to them to investigate the case
I stronly support IPCMC being set up as the police at all police stations are all abusing their powers and also try to brush away public from making police report by making excuses of system down or ofiicers not around kin of excuses to frustrate public from making any police report.
Are the POLICE IN MALAYSIA BEING PAID FOR THE JOB??????
We notice the just chit chat at the police station counter and having tea, snacks in fornt and they treat us like criminals when you want make a report. They even tell you not to make report as our report will make the person goes to jail. WHY PUT OTHERS TO JAIL???? YOUR COMPANY IS SO RICH JUST LET POEPLE TAKE SOME!!!!! This is exactly what the police at the counter in PASIT PUTEH police station commented when my manager and supervisor went there to make a report of one of my staffs for theft.
I appeal to all the parties involved to push the setting up of IPCMC as soon as possible as the police really good for nothing in MALAYSIA.

U hv become such an ego after winning the election. Remember the people is watching u. Majority of the people voted for DAP because they r not happy with BN not coz they luv DAP. In fact it goes without saying that the MCA Chinese chap whom u defeated at the past election is a better human being than u although u r much more higher educated than him. Remember victory is not 4eva. U’ll meet ur waterloo in the next election if u stay arrogant. People choose u 2 bcome a MP 2 fight 4 them n not 2 talk nonsense n give excuses not 2 serve them. Ur proxy the Buntong ADUN, Sivasubramaniam has shot his foot by declaring he won the past election coz of “MakkalSakti” and Indian votes. Is he educated or not ? Hw the hell u all let him stand in the election ? Majority Buntong voters r Chinese ? They rejected a Chinese MCA candidate just 2 vote 4 this goon who later said that coz of MakkalSakti he won the election. Plz ask him nt 2 talk crap n ask him 2 serve the constituents without favouritism. Buntong Chinese r already unhappy with this stupid bugger. If u all dont pull up ur socks n serve the constituents plz b prepared 4 the next Tsunami. My Family n myself r regretting nw 4 voting 4 u goons in the past election. Matter of fact many Indian n Chinese families r regretting voting for u all. Plz dont think u r a lawyer u r so smart. There r many ppl outside the political circles who r smarter than u n they all r watching ur back.

I hope the other new Pakatan Rakyat MPs and ADUNs emulate this one Ipoh Barat MP in dispensing responsibilities.

this is not something new happen to the community,i think most of us aware and notice such malpractice by police.In my personal opinion I do believe that police officer became more brutal and cruel when handling case involving indian suspect.This do happen because lack of respect for indian comunity.So let us stand together and looking for ways to overcome a lot of social problem among us in hopes for better transparency by goverment.

exactly this is why we need IPMC. PakLah government is already delaying in implementing the IPMC as recommended by the royal commission, and instead went for a toned-down police bill..
looks like not even a 20year old is safe from our very own peace-keepers
