What’s new Mr IGP?

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 22, 2024: Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Razarudin Husain says police have no information about kleptocrat Jho “1MDB” Low in Myanmar.

So, what’s new?

As long as it is detrimental to have the kleptocrat back in Malaysia to testify against the disgraced, shameless and un-repented VVIP jailbird, former prime minister Najib “1MDB” Razak, the impression that Malaysians have is that the police aren’t serious about arresting Jho Low.

So, where is Jho Low? The police and Interpol have no clue or idea about his whereabouts? Anyone believes that?

It is also telling on the efficiency of the Polis di-Raja Malaysia, No? Consider the following high profile long standing police cases:

Found dead in MACC’s headquarters in Shah Alam while in custody.

> AFTER 15 years, the police need to be ordered by the High Court to complete its investigations into the death of political secretary Teoh Beng Hock who was found dead in the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters in Shah Alam while in custody;

Altantuya and her killer Sirul who is now enjoying life as a free man roaming the streets in Australia. He had admitted having been paid RM1 million (or US$1 million?) to keep his mouth shut about who gave the “kill order”.

> AFTER 18 years, Mongolian French translator Altantuya Shaaribuu who was shot dead point blank on the head and had her body blasted to smithereens with military-grade C4 explosives by two police commandos, the police still are unable to determine who gave the two murderers the execution orders. Also, one of them, Sirul Azhar Umar is now roaming freely in Australia after fleeing from Malaysia, but for some reason, the police and Government are unab;le to have him repatriated back to Malaysia to serve his prison sentence; and

> AFTER more than seven years, four religious individuals are still missing after allegedly being abducted by police (Special Branch). According to the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam), a public inquiry into the disappearance of Pastor Raymond Koh in 2019 found:

· Koh's abduction was part of an enforced disappearance carried out by government agents, including the police's Special Branch 

· Koh's abduction was similar to the abduction of rights activist Amri Che Mat, who also went missing in 2016 

· The police should reform their standard operating procedures (SOP) 

· The police and religious authorities should have separate jurisdictions 

· Freedom of religion is a fundamental human right 

The inquiry's recommendations included:

· Establishing a special task force to re-investigate Koh's disappearance 

· Providing remedies to the families 

Koh's wife, Susanna Liew Sow Yoke, filed a civil lawsuit in 2020 against the Royal Malaysia Police, the Malaysian government, and other defendants. She is seeking court orders to determine Koh's whereabouts and to have Saiful Bahari arrested and brought to court.

In Bahasa Malaysia, polis tak tahu malu (police know no shame) when they behave grossly inefficient when they choose to be.

KUALA LUMPUR: The police have no information about claims that Low Taek Jho, or Jho Low, is hiding in Myanmar.

Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain also said the military junta-led country has not provided the police with any information about the fugitive businessman who is a key figure in the 1MDB scandal.

“We will provide Myanmar with whatever information we have,” Razarudin told the media at the police’s training centre here.

“Myanmar (police) will also give us whatever information we ask of them as they are also part of Aseanapol.

“So far, we have no information about this, and Myanmar has also not given us any information.”

On Tuesday, former prime minister Najib Razak’s lawyer Shafee Abdullah said he believed Jho Low was hiding in Myanmar.

Shafee said he reached this conclusion based on testimony from former 1MDB in-house lawyer Jasmine Loo in court.

In May, the Kuala Lumpur High Court heard that Low was the “puppet master” in determining how 1MDB made its investments, despite holding no position in the GLC.

This was according to testimony from MACC investigating officer Nur Aida Arifin during cross-examination by Shafee in Najib’s corruption trial.

Malaysian and US investigators estimate a total of US$4.5 billion was siphoned from 1MDB, which was established in 2009.

Ha! Ha! Ha! High Court forces cops to eat humble pie! And police are asking those with information about the case to step forward? For God’s sake, Teoh was found dead in MACC’s custody! So, go interrogate all MACC investigators involved until the truth is uncovered!

Teoh Beng Hock probe to be completed in 6 months, says IGP

KUALA LUMPUR: The police are confident about wrapping up their investigation into the death of Teoh Beng Hock within six months as ordered by the High Court yesterday.

Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain said Bukit Aman’s classified crime investigation unit would look into statements from existing witnesses and hold discussions with the Attorney-General’s Chambers.

“We can definitely do this (complete the probe in six months)… we will obey the latest order from the (Kuala Lumpur) High Court,” he told the media at the police’s training centre here.

He also urged those with information about the case to step forward.

Yesterday, the Kuala Lumpur High Court directed the police to complete their long delayed investigation into the death of Teoh, which occurred over 15 years ago.

Justice Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh made the order in the judicial review proceedings brought by Teoh’s family two years ago.

The family had sought a declaration that the police’s failure to complete the probe into Teoh’s death within a reasonable timeframe was a breach of common law and statutory duties.

Teoh died on July 16, 2009 at the fifth floor of Plaza Masalam, Shah Alam, after being questioned for hours by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

An inquest into his death was held, and the coroner returned an open verdict.

However, the Court of Appeal in 2014 ruled that Teoh’s death was caused by “one or more persons unknown”, including MACC officers.

Two special investigation teams were set up – one in 2011 and the other in 2015 – to look into Teoh’s death, but both cases were classified as requiring no further action, or “NFA”, by the public prosecutor.

Wan Farid yesterday noted that the police had in 2019 launched an investigation under Section 342 of the Penal Code for wrongful confinement, with the investigation papers going back and forth eight times between the police and the public prosecutor.

“Up to 2023, the police were still investigating the case under further instructions from the public prosecutor,” said Wan Farid, adding that investigations into wrongful confinement were not “rocket science”.
