KUALA LUMPUR,Police denied people were killed secretly in Malaysia as claimed by Amnesty International in a report on world countries titled “Death Sentences and Executions in 2007”.
The Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Datuk Ismail Omar, said the statement is not true.
“We are a sovereign country. The police here conduct their work professionally. We have our management system, our laws and procedures. All our actions are done in accordance with the law,” he said after visiting Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Hospital in conjunction with the 201st Police Day celebration here today.
On the next course of action over the AI claims, he said the police would refer it to Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar.
In its report, AI “expressed deep concern” that many more people were killed secretly in countries such as Mongolia, Vietnam and Malaysia. It highlighted China, Singapore, Malaysia and Mongolia as among the many countries that "carry out executions in secret and refuse to divulge any information on the use of the death penalty."
Earlier, Ismail presented two wheelchairs, DVD players, children books and educational VCDs from the police to the hospital. He also visited and handed over fruit baskets to several patients at the orthopedic ward of the hospital.

Dear Freedom Fighters, both Online & Offline...
I have been supporting the boycott the newspapers initiative for sometime & I have done my push & pull marketing rather we'll around my circle of family, friends & contacts. A few have stopped buying, some don't already. A lot whom still want to purchase the papers, I passed on the info - which was the worst in all mediums & urged them to switch to the least worst. For English papers, the worst was the The Star (Spinning & BN coverage). Data can be found on the People's Parliament.
Now, the story. I have noticed that some, are still purchasing the newspapers, especially "The Star" every now & then, especially on Saturday's for... "The Recruitment Section!"
So, I urge all those whom support this cause to pass the word. Only get your recruitment information online. Do not purchase the msm & even browse through it.
PR & others (mid-long term effort), get more beginner computer classes up. Teaching people to use the comp, get the news, browse & apply for jobs, using the email, etc. Keep the fees very low, give it free to the very poor, catch the young, educate! PR, set up a IT centre in the poor areas, with news printed out & pasted there regularly. Put up a few PCs with internet connections for the poor to share & use for free during office hours.
Check out MT article "My Version of the Truth" by RPK, for some related info.
Thanks, please pass the word!
