Victim's family cries foul over 'trigger-happy' police
The family of 32-year-old Ho Chei Hang (above) is crying foul over what they alleged as the “trigger-happy” shooting of Ho by police on Nov 16.
“This is abuse of power and trigger-happy (behaviour),” said lawyer Keppy Wong (right), who spoke at a press conference on the family's behalf at his office in Pandan Indah today. Also present were Ho's wife and parents.
Wong believed that the police action is unjustified as no weapons or contraband were found in the victim's car. Wong also claimed that the plainclothes police officers who did not identify themselves did not give Ho any warning before he was shot, and neither did they fire any warning shots or try to disable the car Ho was driving. As a result of the incident, Ho is now warded in the Kuala Lumpur Hospital where he is being treated for four bullet wounds he sustained.
