IPOH: Police maintain there was no foul play behind the death of drug suspect Choong Soy Soy at the Bercham police station lockup on June 27.
Ipoh OCPD Asst Comm Azisman Alias said his investigation officers have recorded statements from the inmates saying that Choong had indeed slipped and fallen in the toilet between 9am and 10am that day.
ACP Azisman said the inmates heard a loud noise and found Choong on the floor.
“The suspect was still conscious and was able to talk when we found him after the accident,” ACP Azisman said on Wednesday.
“He also declined to go to the hospital and said he was alright,” he said.
Choong was sent to the hospital after policemen noticed that he was bleeding from the nose, said ACP Azisman.
Choong fell into a coma two days after being admitted to the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital where he died on Tuesday morning, he said.
ACP Azisman said the case was investigated as sudden death and a post-mortem report would be submitted by the hospital to the police soon.
Slipped and fell in the toilet.
Statements taken from other inmates. Who probably witnessed what really happened to Choong.
Slipped and fell………….
>:(
This is getting to be a trend. Let’s see how the government responds.
Kerishamuddin via Lulu:
THE appointment of Fox Com-munications as the Royal Police Force (PDRM) public relations consultant was through ‘open quotation’, said the Home Ministry.
Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein, in his written reply to Wee Choo Keong (PKR - Wangsa Maju), said the appointment was for six months with a monthly fee of RM33,250.
On the rationale of acquiring the consultant service, Hisham-muddin said public relations between the force and public had to be developed in a more comprehensive and synergised manner.
“It is very critical to fix the negative perception from the people and baseless criticism from the media against the force,” he said.
Wow. That’s the stupidest thing I’ve heard in a while. And as you can probably imagine, I hear a lot of stupid things.
So. PRDM.. I’m sorry, PDRM - with all these deaths in detention amongst other things - has an image problem. What do we do?
Hire PR consultants to fix it :| For RM 200,000 :|
The bad image of the police does not arise from PR ignorance or lousy media relations.
It arises from the section of the force that is corrupt, abuse their powers, cause and allow death in custody, fail to provide public safety, make fun of crime victims who show up to report crimes, and so on. Fix that, then - and only then - do you fix the image problem.
To me, this epitomises the BN mindset. When they find shit (please pardon my French) on their hands, they completely ignore the option of cleaning the shit up.
Instead, they throw hundreds of thousands of ringgit at cronies (I think we all know the ex-NSTP connections of Fox Communications) to try and persuade the world that what is on their hands is not in fact shit, but roses.
Shit, my friends, cannot pass for roses.
So, what will we have at the end of this Musa/ng-led PR exercise?
Shit will still be shit, no one will believe it to be roses, the rakyat will be out RM 200,000 and some BN cronies will be RM 200,000 richer.
Ah, business as usual in BN bolehland.
The government should keep that money and get more patrol cars, hire more personnel, and invest in ways to make sure that cops don’t take bribes, or beat up helpless prisoners. *That* will go some way into turning shit into roses, not throwing money at Fox bleeding Communications.
PR consultants indeed. For my money, I think you should get the other PR (Pakatan) to run the show instead :P
