PDRM - TAK Mesra, TAK Cekap, TAK Betul
Reading New Straits Times - We were never prepared, says Noh and New Straits Times - Police to come a-knocking, gives me head-ache!
GET YOUR PRIORITIES RIGHT!!!!
On one hand, they are not prepared for murderers, rapist, gangsters while preparing their cases, but on the other, they seems to be so free and could afford to knock on poor motorists' door to collect summons!
Now we should all know what is the motivation in all PDRM's exercise? Monetory return to government coffer, or to some extent, their own coffer!
Gangsters who pays PDRM under the table are kept non-harrased, while those who refused to 'kow-tim' when stopped for traffic offences should be chased all the way to cough up the maximum. Teach them for not bribing the enforcers, when first given the chance!
Mentally challenged ministers would only yeild retarded organisations, that's Noah Omar for you! Perampas Duit Rakyat Malaysia, PDRM!
A total revamp of this institution is required. PDRM also need a policing, maybe, a competitive department should be introduced? Continously monitoring of police performance!
THUGS RELEASED: We were never prepared, says Noh
Deputy Internal Security Minister Datuk Noh Omar made a startling admission today: A shortage of senior federal counsel was behind the release of suspected gangsters from preventive detention. He said the authorities had been unprepared for the avalanche of habeas corpus applications filed this year by suspects held at the Simpang Renggam detention centre.
As a result, affidavits or sworn statements could not be filed on time, resulting in the easy release of many detainees.
"We were never prepared for this to happen," Noh said at a Press conference.
Since the beginning of the year, there have been 50 applications.
He was reacting to a New Sunday Times report that as many as 45 detainees — some of them triad leaders and gangland enforcers — won freedom from detention after their habeas corpus applications were upheld by the courts.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Bakri Omar said yesterday that the majority of suspected underworld figures were released from preventive detention on technical grounds.
Currently, there are only four counsel at the ministry to handle habeas corpus cases.
This year alone there had been 50 habeas corpus applications involving 193 suspected criminals detained under the Emergency Ordinance 1969.
A habeas corpus petition is filed with a court by a person who objects to his own or another’s detention or imprisonment.
The petition must show there was a legal or factual error in the order for detention or imprisonment.
Noh Omar said when a habeas corpus application is filed, the defence team would have to provide an average of 15 affidavits within two weeks to make its case.
"One case needs at least 15 affidavits, imagine if we have 50 cases," he said.
But the shortage of counsel should be alleviated by next month, when the ministry will have the services of another 20 senior federal counsel to handle habeas corpus applications.
Noh said the decision to have the additional counsel was reached at a meeting today, involving representatives from the Public Service Department, the Attorney-General’s Office and the Prisons Department.
A report of the meeting will be submitted to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who is also Internal Security Minister.
Noh also said that from now on, officers dealing with suspects at different stages of the detention process would have to complete an affidavit.
