Bukti Salah Guna Kuasa PDRM

Her full claims, according to the video from Malaysiakini are;

1) When she went to negotiate with the OCPD, he did not bother but asked someone else to push her away

2) When asked to disperse, they wanted to but Police locked the gate, preventing them from doing so, and entrapping them so as to capture them.

3) Some were beaten when arrested.

4) They were denied seeing their families

5) while there is a poster of Detainees Rules of 1953 which shows a right to visit by families and counsel, the police denied her one, saying it is an order from the top

6) She was asked to change in lock-up, which has no door but only grill, with CCTV.

7) Male policemen can go in and out of the female lock-up, of which a group of them chatting in front of the lock-up, issue of changing arises again

8) After arguing, the females are allowed to go inside a room to change into lock-up attire

9) In male lock-up, there is someone who has key open his own lock-up, and another person's lock-up, to beat him up.

10) Many detainees are detained for days without being informed of the reason for being detained.

11) During remand application, the Police's argument is that they need time to investigate them but for the long hours of being detained, no statement is taken, though there is a few of them chi chatting outside Jenice's lock-up. She asked if the detainees should be punished for Police inefficiency and for Police not doing their work.


This blogger felt, all the time, that even if a person is as guilty as hell, there are certain inalienable rights that should be accorded to him/her. Right to be punished up to the severity of his crime, right to dignity (that is need not to change under CCTV or in front of member of another sex, or any person in that matter), right to fair trial, right to be heard etc.

Police in Malaysia however, seems to be living in the grand old time of lawlessness, where they are the law.

The initiative to change however is not present at the moment. The present political climate needs them to be so. If the Police are all fair and serve the citizen without fear or favor, then the administration might be having a torrid time.
