The police personnel involved in the death of 22-year-old detainee Kugan Ananthan are expected to be charged next week. According to a source, at least nine rank-and-file personnel from the Subang Jaya police district CID department are expected to be hauled to court. However, it is learnt that the officers - aged between late 20s and early 50s - could be slapped with a lesser charge instead of murder (Section 302 of the Penal Code), which carries the death penalty. One possibility is for them to be charged with either 'causing hurt' (Section 330) or 'causing grievous hurt' (Section 331) to extort confession. If found guilty, the police officers could face a maximum jail term of seven years (for causing hurt) or 10 years (for causing grievous hurt). The case was initially classified as sudden death but following the emergence of a video clip which depicted severe lacerations on the body of the deceased, attorney-general Abdul Gani Patail last Friday reclassified the case as murder.

Good. We will get to see the police charged next week. I wonder if they will plead innocence to the charge. I guess they will because beating up a suspected criminal is such a cowardice act. ;-)

Umno will not prosecute fellow UMNO members. Probably a slap on the wrist. Watch.. If Malays = Germans then Nazis = Umno. I have actively discouraging my friends from visiting Malaysia. Instead visit Bali Singapore or Thailand. Advised them of violent nature of the unformed personnel. Written to my congressman to look into the atrocities committed by the current government towards the minorities and the poor. Just doing my part as a loyal ex-Malaysian.
in this country you can judge book by its cover
with this Home Minister, whether they plead guilty or otherwise would not make any difference. UMNO or BN pleaded that they are ready for change to gain rakyat confidence but with our brainless Home Minister they are heading for the drain as instead of changing for the better they are changing for the worse. I believe if BN remove him now they rakyat especially me will hormat the BN otherwise soli lah bye bye......
