00:00We have gathered here today in relation to the brutal murder of three individuals in Durian
00:13Tunggal where we believe that they were shot execution style on November the 24th. Now the
00:20reason that we are having the gathering today and the press conference today is to submit a
00:25memorandum to the police. Now what exactly are we asking for in the memorandum? Now the
00:33first thing that we're asking for is that we have been informed that this matter, the
00:37killing of the three individuals, has been classified under Section 302 of the Penal
00:42Code which is murder. Now despite the fact that this has been classified as murder, not
00:48a single police officer involved in the shooting has been remanded, has been arrested. Nothing.
00:53No action taken. And obviously no one has been charged. Now this is completely contrary to
00:59the police's own standard operating procedure. The police SOP is that the minute that you
01:04have a suspect for a murder, immediately you remand them. The first remand maximum seven
01:10days. Second remand maximum seven days. This is how the police work. But in this case, no
01:15one has been remanded. Why the double standards? Second, the fact that the police have actually
01:22issued a statement saying that these police officers who were involved in the shooting
01:27are not on active duty. Now what does that mean? That means that they have not been suspended.
01:32That means they are still working. Not on active duty. Why don't they use the word suspension?
01:39What does that mean? It doesn't make sense at all. So the reason that we are having this
01:43meeting today, this gathering today, is to submit a memorandum. We are demanding that the officers involved
01:48in the shooting, they must be arrested. That is our first demand. Our second demand
01:53is that all the officers involved in this, including those who are trying to cover up, all of them
01:58must be removed. All of them must be suspended and all of them must be transferred pending the
02:04investigation by Bukit Aman. Because as you know, the Malacca Police Chief has been issuing a
02:09lot of statements, despite the fact that there is an ongoing investigation by Bukit Aman. I don't
02:14understand how Bukit Aman can investigate this case properly when there is so much of interference
02:21from the Malacca Police Chief. He keeps issuing statements. I am wondering who is actually doing
02:27this investigation? Is it the Malacca Police Chief investigating or Bukit Aman investigating?
02:32It seems to be quite a mystery.
02:34Now, next is we are demanding that the CPO, the Chief Police Officer of Malacca, be suspended immediately
02:46for interfering in police investigations by releasing statements that are not conducive to the investigation.
02:52At the very least, he must be transferred if not suspended. This is our demand. Next, we have also been
02:58informed that the scene of the crime is not actually in Durian Tunggal, that this is false. We have been
03:06informed that the scene of the crime is actually kilometer 224 of the north-south highway heading north.
03:13Now, that puts it squarely not in Malacca jurisdiction, but actually in Negeri Sumerian jurisdiction.
03:19Anyway, that is neither here nor there because let Bukit Aman sought that mess out. But what we are
03:26talking about here is that it is very clear that evidence has been tempered with. Evidence may even
03:32be destroyed. Now, if this is true, then Bukit Aman, the Special Task Force has the duty to haul up all
03:39of these officers and charge them under Section 201, 202 and 203 of the Penal Court for destruction of
03:45evidence, for concealing evidence. Nobody can do that. It doesn't matter whether you are a police officer
03:51or you are a normal citizen. You cannot concede evidence. You cannot destroy evidence. It's completely
03:56unacceptable. And our last demand, our fifth and last demand is that Bukit Aman, the Special Task Force,
04:03investigate all the statements that have been made by the police in Malacca because we believe that a
04:09lot of the statements are false. Everything that the police say, people are taking it as the gospel truth.
04:15This is not the case. There are so many contradictions and we are not merely making averments here.
04:22We have an audio recording. Audio recording and what the police say does not tally at all. It is very
04:29clear that there is some hanky-panky going on and Bukit Aman is under duty to make sure that all of these
04:35issues are dealt with, that all of these issues are resolved with. And lastly, finally, I would also like
04:42to express the family's disappointment, utter disappointment with the Bukit Aman Special Task Force,
04:49where, until today, they have failed to give us proper updates. We don't even know if these
04:54officers have been suspended or not. We don't even know at what stage is the investigation. We don't
04:59know if the individuals are going to be charged. If the individuals are going to be charged, we won't
05:02even be here today. But we are not getting any information. There is a paucity of information
05:08from the Bukit Aman Special Task Force.
