A broken Sanjeevan says he's ready to quit MyWatch

MyWatch chairperson R Sri Sanjeevan is a broken man and is prepared to end his days as an anti-crime watchdog after a close brush with death, The Star newspaper reports today.

“I am thinking of a natural death for MyWatch. As a patriotic Malaysian, I’ve done my part and have been beaten and shot at for it,” Sanjeevan is quoted as telling The Star in an interview.

The 29-year old Sanjeevan said his MyWatch work was not worth another bullet or his family’s safety.

The report says Sanjeevan has lost 15kg in weight, shaved his head and wears a brace on his chest to hide surgical scars.

He recently underwent a critical operation to remove a bullet lodged in his ribcage for 18 days after being shot on July 27 by two men on a motorcycle in Negri Sembilan. For a while after that, he suffered amnesia.

“But I remember now and I can remember everything that happened when I got shot,” Sanjeevan said. He identified the man who shot him as “an Indian, fat and tall”.

MyWatch’s patron, former inspector-general of police Musa Hassan, had said that Sanjeevan had received death threats prior to the shooting, after his expose on police personnel allegedly involved in crime syndicates.
