Death in Custody: Address Human Rights Obligation Now

Death in Custody: Address Human Rights Obligation Now

Amnesty International Malaysia views with great concern the recent deaths in custody of Teoh Beng Hock and P. Gunasekaran and the issues surrounding their deaths. These are not isolated incidents as recently there have been many reported cases of death while in the custody of the police, immigration department and prisons authorities. It raises a serious concern in terms of gap in human rights protection observed by the law enforcement authorities and accountability mechanism to address death in custody. Therefore, there is an urgent and critical need to address human rights obligation in terms of law enforcement work in Malaysia.

Law enforcement agencies and initiatives must exercise a high degree of human rights responsibility, and prioritise and internalise procedures in ensuring a person’s personal security and rights at all times. They are duty bound to ensure that a suspect or witness is provided with protection of their personal security and rights including their right to legal access and medical attention during the entire period of custody and investigation. This fundamental right has somehow remained discretionary, ad hoc and secondary in the nature of law enforcement work in Malaysia. That failure to prioritise and dutifully ensure human rights protection in law enforcement is the major contributing factor of deaths in custody in Malaysia.

Amnesty International Malaysia is concerned that the reported cases of death in custody will further negatively affect the public’s confidence in public agencies legislated to protect its rights and interests. The United Nations Code of Conduct for Law Enforcement Officials clearly states that law enforcement agencies are accountable to the people they serve. People approach these agencies with issues of concern and wanting to live in a safe and equitable environment. Obviously these contacts will only be made when the public has trust in the agencies and is confident in their work. The current incidents have undermined public confidence in these agencies and it is critical for the government to strictly uphold human rights and professionalism in law enforcement initiatives in order to restore the public confidence.

Cases of death in custody are illustrative of wider patterns of breakdowns in procedural and supervisory safeguards ensuring adequate health care and the prevention of ill-treatment or torture. In 2006, the Parliamentary Select Committee on The Penal Code and Criminal Procedure Code recommended the establishment of the Coroners Act in Malaysia to enable better procedures for investigation and inquest into death in custody, and for a Coroner’s Court to be established. It has become critical for the government to implement the Coroners Act to provide an accountability mechanism to ensure human rights compliance by law enforcement agencies.

Amnesty International Malaysia also calls for a Royal Commission to investigate all other cases of death in custody including the recent death of Teoh Beng Hock and to address gaps in the current law enforcement system in view of providing critical reform and change in our system. Amnesty International Malaysia further calls on the Malaysian government to enforce strict human rights compliance in all public service and law enforcement initiatives in a transparent and credible manner.

Beware of Malaysia Phone Call Scam !!!

Beware of Malaysia Phone Call Scam !!! FEBRUARY 2010

As most Malaysian knows, our newspaper will be flooded by a lot of interesting news each period of time. Nowadays, i can see that more and more SMS Scam cases capturing the highlights of our local newspaper. Recently, I have received a phone call asking if I can do a phone survey, and they would like to know more about the consumer’s buying pattern. I have given them a chance and answered several questions and at the end of the call, the operator gave me a number. He invited me to attend their shop and said that i can have chance to win the “lucky draw” prizes.

I did not go for the event but i received a phone call that tells me i have won the lucky draw which is the cash prizes of RM100k and the event organizer request my bank account number in order for them to transfer money to me. I did not quite believe with him and i refused to give him my bank account number. Instead of that, I told them to write a cheque for me but he gave excuses that they are unable to send me the cheque but they have opened a temporary account in Hong Kong’s Bank where they have placed the money there and also gave me the account number & password to access that the account.

Then, i started to call the bank and the automated voice machine said that i have HK$200k deposited. However, i still cannot fully trust them and request them for more proof and they gave me a website where they sell products.
Luckily, before i fully trust on it, i called up the “Real Bank” with a number found on bank’s website and confirmed that there is no such account number, no such service as temporary account, and even the number of the bank is not registered as 1 of their branches.

So, please be aware of such scam calls and never give them your Identity card number and bank account number else they will transfer out all your money. Based on my understanding, bank will never request for bank account number through call. This is because bank do it all the time and should know more better than me. If they still request, you just said that you can only give them your last 4 digits of your bank account number.

As you know Malaysia population 25 millions and if they cheated half of the population with 12 millions and let say only 6 millions bank in the money RM1000. How much they can earn? 6 million x RM1000. So, those suckers become the billionaire!!! Do you wan this to be happened?

Need Help

Senior White, Ms Husky and Forrest are still at the vets because they are not completely well. They have been there from the day of the rescue and we reckon their treatment and boarding is going to cost us. We have already paid the vet partially for the other pups admitted there including Ebony who had to undergo a blood transfusion.

This old girl, now named Shriya, was found wailing and crying, in a car park in Subang Jaya. She was rescued by a motorist who had parked her car there and handed over to us. She is under the care of one of our fosterers and was recently diagnosed with failing kidneys. We need to put her on prescription food and kidney supplements which are both very expensive. Shriya is about 8 years old.
