(Malaysiakini) Families of the deceased in the recent shooting incident at Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang have submitted a memorandum to inspector-general of police (IGP) Musa Hassan to set up an independent investigation body to probe into their deaths.
Although a report about the incident was lodged on Aug 27, the families of the two deceased claimed that the police in Klang have not even called them up to record their statements.
The dead were identified as P Mailvanagam, 47, of Kuala Lumpur and S Gunasilan, 22, of Taman Sentosa in Klang who worked as security guards and were shot by a Sabahan - also a guard in the hospital and who had surrendered.
The two were reportedly shot dead after an argument when the suspect was accused of sleeping on the job.
Gunasilan's mother M Rajeswary, also a security guard at the hospital, said that the police have not contacted her or any other witnesses for a statement.
“It has been more than a week but we do not know what is happening,” she told reporters after submitting the memorandum.
Kapar parliamentarian S Manickavasagam (right in pic) concurred, and questioned whether the police in Klang were doing their job.
“The two families have lodged a police report, but the police never called them up for statements. I think the Klang OCPD is sleeping.
“That is why we are here. We want Bukit Aman to take over and speed things up,” he said.
'We want justice'
Mailvanagam's wife A Punitha (below left) said that their family wants to see the person who killed her husband punished.
“I want justice for my husband's death. The murderer must be hanged for what he did,” she said.
Rajeswary echoed the same thoughts and questioned if it is legal or even necessary for a security guard to carry a pump gun.
“How can they give him (the suspect) a pump gun? Does he (the suspect) have a licence to be armed?
“There is a police beat base at the hospital, what need is there to arm the guards?” she asked.
She added that the police should get to the bottom of this.
“I do not want them to simply close the case. It should be resolved with the guilty punished," she said.
Rajeswary also alleged that the security company which hired them should take some responsibility for arming the guards.
“They (the company) have contacted us, and offered to pay only RM1.000 and asked us to sign some papers. But we didn't take the money,” she said.
She also refuted reports that claimed the incident took place because of an argument over the suspect sleeping on the job.
“The suspect was in fact jealous that Mailvanagam was promoted after working for only one month,” she added.
