00:00On Monday, the Ipoh High Court pronounced a very serious verdict on the appeal from
00:17the inquest into the death of Sose Manikam.
00:23The Ipoh High Court found that the death of Sose Manikam was by homicide as a direct consequence
00:32of the actions of officers of the TLDM.
00:36Because of the conditions during the camp, the training camp, his son and others are
00:48believed to have contracted the disease called leptospirosis.
00:52According to the judgment read out by the High Court, the officers there did not take
00:58Sose Manikam for treatment and instead there was continuous training that he was forced
01:06to carry out.
01:07All of this resulted in multi-organ collapse and death.
01:12The Navy officers who were in charge of his training should have foreseen that if you
01:18do not take someone who is so sick to the hospital, then he will die, he may die.
01:26Now that is why the High Court judge said that this is homicide.
01:31So today, this morning, Che Joseph has lodged a police report.
01:34Che Joseph has asked that PDRM immediately launch a murder investigation into the death
01:42of his son.
01:43Because this is a very serious matter, there must be an independent investigation.
01:47We urge the IGP to form a team in Bukit Aman to investigate this matter.
01:53Now why do I say that?
01:54This was the death of a Navy cadet in a training camp.
01:58We are very disappointed.
01:59The verdict came out on Monday, 29 July.
02:04No response from the Defence Minister.
02:08No response from the Defence Ministry.
02:11No response from the Navy or the Navy Chief or anyone.
02:15No response from the government.
02:17No response from the Cabinet.
02:19Do you mean to say that a High Court judge in this country can pronounce a serious homicide
02:26verdict over the death of a Navy cadet during training and no one in authority has anything
02:32to say?
02:34Is this what we have come to?
02:36I'm very disappointed.
02:37And from 2018 until now, we have only received a little bit of justice for the family.
02:45But as Mr. Sulwana has said, we are disappointed that the verdict issued by the High Court
02:52has not been ignored by the authorities, not been ignored by the government or any
02:58responsible parties.
02:59So moving forward, whatever steps that need to be taken, the government must take because
03:06this is a matter of human rights.
03:09This is a matter of human rights.
03:11This is a matter of human rights.
03:13This is a matter of human rights.
03:15This is a matter of human rights.
03:17This is a matter of human rights.
03:19This is a matter of human rights.
03:21This is a matter of human rights.
03:23This is a matter of human rights.
03:25This is a matter of human rights.
03:27Whatever steps that need to be taken, the government must take because that is their
03:30responsibility.
03:31A death has occurred and let the death at least avoid all other future similar deaths.
03:38I am also so regret to send my son to TLDM.
03:45And so careless, negligence.
03:49Because of that, my son Suse Manikam died.
03:52The profession in Navy, TLDM, not trusted in the skill.
04:02In my opinion, my son entered Navy 2018.
04:06Until now, we don't know who is the culprit there.
04:12Till my son.
04:14But they all point another person.
04:20So in this case, we must investigate the case.
04:26We want justice.
