Re: Police inaction on death threat because UMNO man.

We act for Mr. Rubeskanna A/L Palaniappan of No 61 Kg Sg Kayu Ara Damansara 47400 Petaling Jaya Selangor and have our client’s instructions to write as follows:-

Our client is a businessman running his own telephone shop at No 16, Jalan Teratai PJU 6A, Kg Kayu Ara, Daman Sara 47400 Petaling Jaya Selangor.

On 20/09/2009 while doing business at his aforesaid shop one En Ibrahim, a rival nearby telephone shop owner came over to our client’s shop and scolded our client because ‘he had sold telephone accessories at a cheap price’. Our client had tried pacifying this En. Ibrahim but he had called out our client for a fight, asked whether our client wanted to see his pistol, exposed his private part causing our clients’ customers to flee the shop. When our client told him to leave his shop this En. Ibrahim had threatened (criminally intimidated) by warning our client to be careful as he had a gun licence. And if he shoots our client, no one would question him as he is an UMNO man. He had further said that the row of shop houses that also houses our client’s shop was under his control and as if also extorting protection money from our client. This has been recorded in our client’s CCTV. A police report No. Damansara 014408/09 to this effect has been lodged by our client (copy enclosed). Two days later this En. Ibrahim again criminally intimidated our client when he showed his fist to our client. Thereafter he frequents the neighboring restaurant almost daily and ‘watches over’ our client’s shop.

Our client and his family is now living in fear of thier life and limb and fears that he may not get the equal protection of the state or the police or instead may be victimized as this En Ibrahim complained against is an UMNO man. This kind of above the law UMNO mind set must not be allowed to prevail.

Up to date, the police have not asked to view our client’s CCTV or taken any action against this En. Ibrahim.

Our client has now instructed us to write to your goodselves for your directions to the police accordingly.

Thank you.

Your faithfully,
