THUMBS UP FOR BUKIT AMAN IN ARRESTING DSAI

Reading from the local newspapers, I gave thumbs up to the Malaysian Police in arresting the wanted suspect by the name of DSAI.

The PDRM issued a statement explaining the steps taken to arrest DSAI away from his house and about an hour before expiration of the deadline for him to surrender himself to the Police.
i) Many people, family members, press and party supporters had already gathered around the vicinity of his home in anticipation of an arrest. Thus to avoid any outward incident, the arrest was made before DSAI could reach his home. Thus the objective of maintaining peace and harmony was achieved.
ii) After monitoring that the suspect had diverted his journey from his last destination to his house instead of directly to the IPK (Police HQ), the Police decided to take him on based on strong assumption that he was not coming to the Police station. The suspect had the previous day broken his promise to report to IPK and for him to break his promise again was indeed very real. The Police had to be firm in enforcing the law on this high profile case; DSAI is cannot be seen to be above the law.
iii) The Police confirmed that the arrest was made in accordance with its existing guidelines. Fortunately DSAI was accompanied by his lawyers who assured that DSAI was under police protection and was given all facilities including access to a lawyer and family members.

DSAI was arrested to give his statement and assist the Police in the current investigation in connection with the Police Report made by one Mohd. Saiful, a personnel aide to the wanted suspect. Mohd Saiful alleged that DSAI had sodomised him.

As expected, treating DSAI like an “untouchable”, immediately the Opposition made a big huh hah in Parliament, even seeing PM to assure his safety and threatening demonstrations. Opposition blogs and foreign press emphasised the arrest a political conspiracy rather than a local police investigation following a personal action.

The quick action by the Police is most commendable; it assures that the matter would not be dragged potentially creating further social unrest and political instability. Such quick and smooth action would also mitigate interested parties in capitalising and undermining the integrity of the Malaysian Police.

Thumbs up again to the Malaysian Police. I am sure the Police are aware that this high profile case is under the watch of many interested parties, both local and foreign, bent into looking at technicalities of the law rather than the truth of the matter. I am also confident that the Police and the AG office will ensure that justice will prevail. However, I have little confidence in PM and the SIL in handling this sensitive matter being the kind of unscrupulous and incompetent politicians they are.

Note: DSAI refused to take a DNA test, a standard police procedure in such investigation . I wonder why. Anyone else would comply with such standard procedures to prove one's innosance.
