The Barisan Nasional Backbenchers Club (BBC) today expressed its concern over the custodial death involving Kugan Ananthan and suggested several measures to overcome such incidents in the future. The club, through a statement issued by its chairperson Tiong King Sing, also said it was worried by the political manipulation of the issue by the opposition to gain mileage from the people. "We, as responsible politicians, should work towards calming the emotional setting of the community rather than stirring the racial issues to further aggravate the wound," said Tiong in the statement. He added that all politicians should focus on providing constructive criticisms or some solutions, instead of blatantly condemning the government and the police force. And the club proposed several revamps to bring an end to custodial death, including the review of the police selection process to ensure only truly qualified persons are appointed to join the police force and the discarding of old practices of using force to extract information during interrogation.

Why lah suddenly this fellow issued statement? Isn't it very clear that since the Kugan incident the public's outcry was against alleged police brutality? No one was stirring racial issues.
