Suaram says heads must roll over the assault of mechanic S Mogan.
“Suaram remains concerned over this continuation of the culture of impunity by the enforcement agencies, exacerbated by the failure of the government to implement a credible mechanism to oversee such cases,” said E Nalini, executive director of the local human rights organisation.
According to Mogan, his torturers wanted him to confess to theft and drug dealing. He said they battered him with batons, iron rods and a rubber hose, and one policeman held a gun at his head. He has a broken bone in his left leg. Hindraf is providing him with legal aid.
Nalini said such incidents would continue to happen unless the government came up with a “system of accountability” to check the enforcement authorities.
She questioned the delay in implementing the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission Act.
“We view the delay in the establishment of the commission as critical,” she said. “It exposes the government’s lack of political will to establish professionalism in these agencies to protect human rights.
“Suaram stands firm in our demand for the establishment of an independent body to monitor enforcement agencies. We also express our protest over the involvement of Rela in public policing duties.”

Please allow me to introduce you to Dr.Jeffry Kitingan. Dr.Jeffry Kitingan is a Christian Kadazan from Sabah. Dr.Jeffry Kitingan graduated from Harvard University. The Hindu Malaysians and Dr.Jeffry Kitingan have more things in common than we probably realize.
Dr.Jeffry, in the past, was detained under the infamous ISA. Many Hindu Malaysians and Chinese Malaysians, in the past, have also been detained under the ISA.
When Dr.Jeffry Kitingan is detained under ISA, it is a case of Muslims/UMNO detaining a non-Muslim. This is very hurtful. When Hindu Malaysians and Chinese Malaysians are detained under the ISA, again, it is a case of Muslims/UMNO detaining a non-Muslim. This is very hurtful too. You have to understand that Muslims detaining Muslims on the one hand, and Muslims detaining non-Muslims on the other hand are not the same. If you pause and think about it, you will understand me.
Dr.Jeffry Kitingan is a Christian Kadazan, and thus, a non-Muslim. Hindu Malaysians and Chinese Malaysians are also non-Muslim Malaysians. That is, both Dr.Jeffry and Hindu Malaysians and Chinese Malaysians are non-Muslims.
Hindu Malaysians and Chinese Malaysians have tried many political parties to seek better representation. Dr.Jeffry Kitingan also has tried many political parties before bringing together his Borneo Agenda/United Borneo Front and Third Front in Malaysian politics. I think, for Sabah, they must choose between Malaysia First or Sabah First. If the Sabahans cannot get the Federal government to accept Malaysia First at all levels, then the same Sabahans must go for secession by insisting on Sabah First. Sabah First means secession. In short, Malaysia first or secession for Sabah.
Christian Kadazans, Chinese Malaysians, and Hindu Malaysians have been alienated by Article 153 of the Federal Constitution.
When Mr.Lee Kuan Yew, in the 1960's, insisted on Malaysia First at all levels, the honorable Tunku Abdul Rahman responded by expelling Singapore from the Federation. Now we have Dr.Jeffrey Kitingan from Sabah who has his Borneo Agenda/United Borneo Front. We will wait and see what happens? Will the Federal government expel Sabah from the Federation? If the Federal government expels Sabah from the Federation, then it may be good news for Sabahans. We will wait and see.
I would like to commend Dr.Jeffry Kitingan for attempting to assemble a Third Force in Malaysian politics. The Third Force is the Borneo Agenda/United Borneo Front. The creation of the Third Force has strengthened People Power in Malaysia. Rightfully, it is People Power that should rule Malaysia. People Power is higher than the Constitution, the Rulers and whoever else. Dr.Jeffry Kitingan, the Christian Kadazans, and other people power groups may end up being kingmakers.
I understand that both Brunei and Singapore are doing better than Sabah and Sarawak because they do not have a parasite called UMNO/Article 153 of the Federal Constitution.. The parasitical habits of UMNO/Article153 have made UMNOputras rich at the expense of Sabah. Today, Sabah is among the poorer states in Malaysia. It is time for People Power to demonstate itself. The creation of a coalition called the Third Force in Sabah and Sarawak will definitely increase People Power and may even lead to Sabah being a sovereign independent nation with closer relations with Singapore. I have nothing against helping the poor but it should be done in an unbiased non-racial, non-religious way.
For the Malays to say that the non-Malays must be grateful for the citizenship the Malays have given the non-Malays is a lame excuse. I wonder who gave the Malays citizenship, in the first place? The indigineous people of Malaya are the Orang Asli, and to my knowledge both Malays and non-Malays have yet to get citizenship from the Orang Asli. Besides, the Chinese and Hindu Malaysians have worked and contributed to the growth and development of this country for more than 100 years. Today, Malays have (with the help of UMNO/Article 153) developed an efficient parasitical relationship with Chinese and Hindu Malaysians. Hopefully, a Third Force will increase People Power and reduce UMNO power and the power of Article 153 of the Federal Constitution. We have to choose between People Power and UMNO power.
Now, let's discuss the Malay Regiment. Tha Malay regiment has nothing to do with Malaysia First or People Power. Unlike other Malaysian Regiments, the Malay Regiment is a special regiment. The Malay Regiment is the only regiment that is allowed to recruit Muslims and Malays. Yes, only Muslims and Malays can join the Malay Regiment. Why only Muslims and Malays? The Malay regiment is a segregated regiment. Why? The Malaysian armed forces must be integrated. We, the non-Muslims, need an answer. It is all about Malaysia first or Islam first. The non-Muslim Malaysians need unambiguous answers. Does the Malay Regiment serve the Muslims or Malaysia? Does the Malay Regiment fight for Malaysia or Islam? The Malay Regiment has to choose between Islam and Malaysia because they cannot have both. As a matter of fact, all Malaysian citizens should put Malaysia first. Even the King/Agung should always put Malaysia first. Even the Constitution of Malaysia should put Malaysia and People Power above everything else.
When the constitution itself is biased, then people power become justifiable. When the police, military, and bureaucracy are biased, then people power becomes justifiable.
Dr.Jeffry Kitingan has often been called a frog because he has hopped from one political party to another. He most certainly is a frog. There are advantages at hopping from one political party to another. Being branded a frog is sometimes the best thing. Each time you move from one political party to another, you gain experience. Thus, he has gained a lot of experience. Through trial and error he has learned a lot. Yes, it is true that Dr.Kitingan has hopped from one political party to another, by he has always had Sabah in his heart. He has always been Sabah centric. It does not matter how many political parties he has tried, he is always Sabah centric. Over the past few decades Dr.Kitingan has seen Sabah become poorer and increasingly marginalized under UMNO rule. UMNO armed with Article 153 of the Federal Constitution has become parasitical and turned Sabah into a colony.
Thomas Alva Edison said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work". Robert F. Kennedy said, " Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly".
Failure is success if we learn from it. I am sure Dr.Jeffry Kitingan has learned a lot. I hereby would like to ask all Hindu Malaysians to give their support to Dr.Jeffry Kitingan. . I hereby would like to ask all Hindu Malaysians to form an alliance with Dr.Jeffry Kitingan. May he help to create a Malaysia where Malaysian citizens will put Malaysia first. May he help to create a Third Front in Malaysian politics. May all Malaysians who believe that changing faith is an inviolable human right to be supportive of Dr.Jeffry Kitingan.
The Christian Kadazans have to choose between cooperating with Hindu Malaysians and Chinese Malaysians on the one hand and cooperating with UMNO/Article 153 of the Federal Constitution on the other hand. If the Christian Kadazans want to cooperate with UMNO, I wish them luck. If the Christian Kadazans want to cooperate with Hindu Malaysians and Chinese Malaysians, they are welcome.
Another option for Sabahans is to go for full 100% independence. If Sabah secedes and becomes independent, then Sabah and Singapore can have a closer relationship.
Sabah and Sarawak have been turned into colonies of UMNO/Article 153 of the Federal Constitution. Brunei and Singapore have done better because they do not have UMNO.
Now for the important part. A politician needs both local and international support. Dr.Jeffry Kitingan also needs local and international support. It will be the onus of Dr.Kitingan to get support from Sabahans and Sarawakians. That leaves behind international support. It will be the onus of Chinese and Hindu Malaysians to get him support from China and India. It will be the onus of the Christian Malaysians to get him his Western support. Therefore, it is time for the Chinese and Hindu Malaysians to get him support from China and India. Dr.Kitingan can use Chinese Malaysians and Hindu Malaysians to improve his relations with China and India, which will be for the benefit of Sabah First. Dr.Kitingan's trials and tribulations should be explained to China and India. It is time for Chinese and Hindu Malaysians to contact China and India and urge them to keep an eye on this Christian Kadazan Sabahan, Dr.Jeffry Kitingan. With every passing day both China and India are growing socially, politically, and economically; and Dr.Jeffry Kitingan, if he puts Sabah First, will be well advised to improve ties with China and India.
The Rulers in Malaysia have no elected mandate from the people. The Rulers must voluntarily reduce themselves to a nobody; and the citizens should just ignore the statements from Rulers. People Power must manifest itself. It is People Power that gave India independence from British rule. It is People Power that defeated the Polish communist dictatorship in Poland. It is People Power that ousted former President Marcos from power in Philippines. When the constitution, judicial system, political system, military, police, and bureaucracy are all biased, then people power becomes justifiable. This is the age of people power in Malaysia; and ideally, Malaysia should be decomposed into different interest groups; and each interest group should have a people power of its own to work in its own self-interest. That is, self -interested group with people power. All these self-interest people power groups may end up being kingmakers.
No person in his right mind can take Prophet Mohamed as a role model because Prophet Mohamed is an epileptic pedophile. It is time for Muslims to go into introspection. It is time for Muslims to detach from Prophet Mohamed. Righteous Muslims must have the moral courage to condemn Prophet Mohamed and distance themselves from the Koran; and I think the world has the right to expect such a step from righteous Muslims. The Muslims have remained silent for too long about certain negative things about Islamic history. Some Muslims must be bold enough to condemn Prophet Mohamed. Changing faith is an inviolable human right. I can tell you that if Muslims want to solve the problem, then they should have an independent mind, not just toe the line of the Koran. If Muslims want to solve the problem, then Muslims must detach from the Koran. Muslims must go beyond the Koran. If Prophet Mohamed is an epileptic pedophile, then the next step for Muslims with moral courage is to distance themselves from Prophet Mohamed. I will not blame today's Muslims for what Prophet Mohamed did. But not condemning the Prophet Mohamed is to remain silent. Remaining silent is wrong. May the truth prevail. The behavior of Prophet Mohamed epitomizes a " do as I say and not as I do" culture; and this "do as I say and not as I do" culture is nothing to be proud of. Good Muslims who condemn Prophet Mohamed will earn respect from non-Muslims. I challenge my beloved Muslim brothers and sisters to be supportive of righteousness and break the silence. Please break the silence and condemn Prophet Mohamed.
We need groups that can claim to be kingmakers. We need cooperation among kingmakers. We need a conspiracy among kingmakers. We need unity among kingmakers. We need kingmakers who favor a Malaysia which is well integrated into world trade.
Please pass the word around to all Hindu Malaysians to keep an eye on Dr.Jeffry Kitingan at the political level. Dr.Jeffry Kitingan is a Christian and therefore all Christian Malaysians should be supportive of him. Either the Federal government put Malaysia first or they allow Sabah to secede. That's it. Please feel free to copy and re-mail this composition to anybody. Those who receive this composition should re-mail it to others. Simply reading my posting and ignoring it will not help. Please read my posting and re-mail it to whoever it may concern.
