By OH CHIN ENG

Kampar, Sept 12 (J-On): Barely 24-hours after the last attack, the arsonist strikes again. This time, an empty unit of a flat is the new target.

suicide or homicide?

AFter more than a year since the death of Teoh Beng Hock on July 1902009, the much anticipated result of the inquest is out.

But to much dissappointment, the result has not solved the case, but make the case even more complicated and leave everyone in limbo and clueless.

"The death of political aide Teoh Beng Hock was not a suicide and it was not a homicide, Coroner Azmil Muntapha Abas ruled on Wednesday. It is, therefore, an open verdict."

This is excerpt from The Star newspaper.
Mr. Judge, what kin of answer is this?? Maybe Teoh Beng Hock is not ur brother, son or husband who passed away, that's y u feel nth. How can u give an open verdict? WHat does it mean? Nothing! It's unfair to the family of Teoh Beng Hock who until this moment don't get any accurate answer of the trial.

Suicide or homicide?

People want to know!

Mr. Judge, you know, your judgement is like cakap kosong or talk air. There's a saying in Hokkien, 'kong siang ka boh kong' which means cakap macam tak cakap or in English, it means you say something but it is as if you never say anything.

faham??

cakap macam tak cakap, lebih baik tak payah cakap!

Kong sai uah.

This verdict has bring negative implications for many parties.

To the judge: You'll be seen as uncapable to handle such a high-profile case. Your good name is tarnished and do you think people will ever count on you again?

To the judiciary: People will be more angry and lost trust on you as you are not able to give justice to the defendant or plaintiff.

To the family of Teoh Beng Hock: They will only feel more trauma, hatred and sad as their son, brother, husband and father died blindly. What they want is just justice but have they got it? At least give them an accurate answer. Open verdict will only brings more complications after this.

The police should re-investigate the case now since the judge can't make up his mind. There are a lot of doubts, allegations and politics in this case. It's time to show your professionalism, PDRM.

If Teoh Beng Hock is not from the Opposition party, i believe the way police, government and judiciary handle this case will be different.

MACC "commits suicide"

By Martin Jalleh

18 Aug. 2010 – The Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), very tragically, “committed suicide” today. It killed the very little that was left of its own integrity and credibility.

Its public image plunged to the very depths with the help of its advocate Abdul Razak Musa. He had at first advocated self-strangulation. He even demonstrated how it could be done.

When that failed, the very experienced lawyer of 24 years assisted the Commission to take a wild leap out of the window of logic, common sense and civility.

Depressed

Many have observed that the MACC has been very depressed of late. It has gone through bouts of disappointment, doubts, dejection and denial, all contributing to its sudden self-destruction.

The last (first) MACC chief even jumped ship a few months before his due retirement date. It seems he could no longer handle the daunting (more appropriately read as “haunting”) task.

It appears that the MACC has left behind a suicide note which was supposedly written by its eight-month old new chief Abu Kassim Mohammed. The contents need to be verified of course. It reads:

“Things have been bad for us – bad public perception, bad press, bad publicity, and as though these were not bad enough, we have done badly in the courts with most of the big fish being acquitted!

“I have asked for a year to convince the rakyat of our commitment to combat and curb corruption but the public is still so very critical, cynical and condemning of the MACC.

“The public misunderstands us, press mistreats us, alternative media highlights only our mistakes, Opposition mocks us and Government makes use of us but we are very independent.

“I even told the Cabinet that its members should declare their assets publicly. But they asked me to take my proposal and shelve and shove it…in one of my many cabinets.

“On Teoh Beng Hock’s death anniversary I said we will act without fear, favour and farce. But it has been a flop and many flip-flops. We have lost face even after launching our Facebook page. It is very frustrating!

“It has been a long, lonely and losing battle. And now our learned legal department head has determinedly driven the last nail into our coffin and we have very dutifully dug our own grave!”

It seems that the MACC, due to its synergy with Umno, sent a “Solidarity in Suicide” invitation to the party. They declined, for they have received a similar earlier invitation from Perkasa.

Discredit

The events that led to MACC’s “suicide” began during the cross-examination of the world-renowed Thai forensic pathologist Dr Pornthip Rojanasunand by Abdul Razak in the Teoh Beng Hock’s Inquest.

He first attacked Pornthip on her qualifications and claimed that the MACC’s expert witness, Peter Vanezis, was “far more qualified” than her…as he had “graduated from Bristol University”.

He added that Mahidol University, where she had graduated from, was not recognised in Malaysia. Understandably, he was rather silent on where he graduated from, its ranking and whether it was recognised anywhere on the face of the earth.

Pornthip advised the antagonistic lawyer not to look down on Asians and retorted that Mahidol is ranked the 220th best university in the world and is Thailand’s top-ranked university.

Abdul Razak also accused her of being biased, and as an expert witness engaged by the Selangor State Government, she had come to Bolehland “to attack the MACC”.

She stopped him dead in his tracks: “You have to understand. I work for the rights of the dead, not the Selangor government. My objective is to help the dead!”

It is hoped that the “dead clients” of Pornthip (who has offered her services on a pro bono basis in Teoh’s case) will not take offence and haunt the MACC lawyer who after all appears brain-dead!

It was perhaps the first time in her 25 years as a pathologist that Pornthip was meeting such a pathetic lawyer. She therefore could not resist asking Abdul Razak: “Are you really a lawyer?”

Abdul Razak charged that Pornthip kept changing her position and “the goalpost”. He forgot or got pretty mixed up that such a privileged role and position belonged solely to the Attorney-General with the ball always in his court(s).

He absurdly insisted that her expert opinion was based on her imagination. He would later prove that he was even much more imaginative than her by demonstrating the art of self-strangulation.

Demonstration

When Pornthip maintained that Teoh did not commit suicide – a view which would definitely not sit well with the MACC, Abdul Razak became a spontaneous stand-up comedian!

He suggested that Teoh ‘strangled himself’ and was ‘depressive’. It was a line which he desperately copied from Dr M who had said that Anwar gave himself a black eye when in prison!

The MACC lawyer decided to give a practical demonstration on himself, after being challenged by Gobind Singh Deo, the lawyer for Teoh’s family, to show how one can strangle himself.

Everyone in court was highly entertained, though some may have wished Abdul Razak had succeeded in his demonstration! Pornthip’s “clients” must have surely laughed out loud in their graves!

But the MACC’s prosecutor’s court antics were not over yet. He would provide more ammunition to the MACC to shoot itself. He asked Pornthip if she has any experience jumping off a building!

The cool, calm and composed counsel for the Selangor Government, Malik Imtiaz Sarwar, countered with classic sarcasm: “With questions like these, we would all want to jump off a building!”

Pornthip sensed she had so far seen only the tip of the lawyer’s incompetence. He eventually became so confused that even the Bar Council representatives and coroner had to help clarify and correct him.

Despair

Abdul Razak was in court not to help the coroner determine the real cause of Teoh’s death but to denigrate Pornthip and to distract and divert everyone from the truth. He ended up destroying his own client’s integrity and credibility!

In trying to discredit “the most trusted individual in all of Thailand” (according to a Readers’ Digest Trust survey last year) he has driven the MACC into utter despair in its desperate attempts to restore public confidence!

The law, we are often told. is an ass. But it would be more accurate to say in this context that the lawyer (for the MACC) is an ass and being holed up in the commission, he has turned asinine, arrogant, absurd and abusive.

But why should we be surprised. He is after all the very same lawyer who told wheechair-bound Karpal Singh, the lead lawyer for the Teoh family in the Inquest: “I can sit but you cannot stand”!

But Abdul Razak has the making of a judge in the appellate courts, where, in the words of the very respected retired judge N H Chan, sit a bunch of “ignorant”, “inane”, “incompetent” and “idiotic” judges.

As the hearing ended, Gobind Singh Deo was overheard whispering to himself: “Deo Gratias!” (“Thanks be to God!”). He was indeed grateful to God for Abdul Razak Musa and his sterling role in assisting the MACC “commit suicide”!

Memorandum menuntut kebebasan media

Memorandum menuntut kebebasan media:  Hentikan campur tangan politik dan Self-Censorship (3 Mei 2010)

Kebebasan Akhbar: 30% terendah di dunia

Malaysia bukan sahaja terjerat dalam ekonomi pendapatan sederhana, kini juga berada di bawah paras 30% negara yang terendah di dunia dari segi kebebasan akhbarnya.

Menurut laporan Freedom House yang diumumkan setiap tahun menjelang Hari Kebebasan Akhbar Sedunia, kedudukan Malaysia dalam ranking kebebasan akhbar amat mengejutkan;-

Tahun 2003: Kedudukan ke-71 daripada 100 negara
Tahun 2004: Kedudukan ke-154 daripada 193 negara
Tahun 2005: Kedudukan ke-152 daripada 194 negara
Tahun 2006: Kedudukan ke-141 daripada 194 negara
Tahun 2008: Kedudukan ke-150 daripada 195 negara
Tahun 2009: Kedudukan ke-143 daripada 195 negara
Tahun 2010: Kedudukan ke-141 daripada 196 negara

Antara negara ASEAN, kita jauh di belakang Timor Timur, Filipina, Indonesia, Thailand, malah Kemboja.  Kesemua negara ini lebih miskin daripada Malaysia.

8 pencabulan kebebasan akhbar dalam 12 bulan lalu

Kami, individu dan pertubuhan sivil yang berikut, menggesa agar pimpinan Perdana Menteri Najib Razak terutamanya, dan pengamal media menjawab lapan insiden pencabulan kebebasan media yang penting sejak Hari Kebebasan Akhbar tahun lalu.  Pencabulan ini berlaku kerana campur tangan negara, atau institusi bukan negara, dan self-censorship (tapis-diri) oleh institusi media.

Pertama: Pembatalan rancangan dokumentari Empangan Bakun oleh TV2

Pada 28 April 2010, Ketua Pengarah Penyiaran RTM, Ibrahim Yahya memberi arahan terus kepada rancangan Galeri Mandarin Nasional, TV2 untuk menarik dan membatalkan penyiaran siri dokumentari Empangan Bakun, selepas dua episod disiarkan.  Dokumentari ini mendedahkan keadaan hidup lebih 10 ribu orang asli yang berpindah dari Belaga ke Sungai Asap dan Sungai Koyan, untuk memberi laluan kepada pembinaan Empangan Bakun pada tahun 1998. 【Satu lagi campur tangan BN dalam kebebasan media TV, penerbit TV2】

Penerbit rancangan, Chou Z Lam mendakwa pihak atasannya memberi alasan bahawa "unsur sensitif" dalam dokumentari bakal mendatangkan kesan yang tidak baik untuk PRK Sibu yang akan berlangsung pada 16 Mei, dan pilihan raya negeri Sarawak.

Kedua: Campur tangan dan penapisan (Censorship) di ntv7

Pada 20 April 2010, Joshua Wong Ngee Chong yang pernah memenangi anugerah,  juga penerbit Editor's Time meletak jawatan sebagai protes kerana pihak atasan syarikatnya tunduk kepada aduan daripada isteri Perdana Menteri, Rosmah Mansor.  Kononnya Rosmah Mansor telah memanjangkan (forward) satu sms berbau rasis kepada pihak atasan ntv7, melontarkan tuduhan terhadap rancangan forum yang menyaksikan perdebatan antara ahli politik Barisan Nasional, Pakatan Rakyat dan penganalisa politik bebas.

Berikutan aduan tersebut, ntv7 mengambil keputusan untuk tidak membincangkan isu PRK Hulu Selangor yang berlangsung pada 25 April dalam rancangannya, dan mengelakkan isu politik secara umumnya pada ketika itu.  Pemimpin pembangkang juga dilarang untuk hadir ke rancangan sebagai ahli panel.  Bagaimanapun, pihak atasan ntv7 tidak menafikan tuduhan Joshua Wong.

Tuduhan campur tangan daripada Rosmah Mansor juga dilenyapkan dari kesemua media arus perdana.  Pada hakikatnya, daripada media arus perdana, hanya Nanyang Siang Pau dan Oriental Daily yang melaporkan perletakan jawatan Joshua Wong.

Ketiga: "Laporan kurang tepat" China Press

Pada 13 Mac 2010, Kementerian Dalam Negeri telah mengeluarkan surat tunjuk sebab kepada China Press, satu akhbar bahasa Cina, kerana "kesilapan" dalam laporannya berhubung perletakkan jawatan Ketua Polis Negara, Musa Hassan pada 25 Mac.

Di bawah Seksyen 8A, Akta Mesin Cetak dan Penerbitan tahun 1984, perbuatan menyiarkan berita yang tidak benar dengan niat jahat akan mengakibatkan mereka yang bersabit dijatuhkan hukuman penjara tidak melebihi 3 tahun atau denda tidak melebihi RM 20,000 atau kedua-duanya sekali.

Menteri Dalam Negeri, Hishammuddin Hussein yang mana bidang kuasanya mencakupi polis dan akhbar, mengesahkan penamatan perkhidmatan Musa Hassan pada akhir September tahun ini.  Pada 19 Mac 2010, China Press meminta maaf lantaran kesilapannya dalam laporan, dan menggantung Teoh Yong Khoon dari jawatan Ketua Pengarangnya selama dua minggu.

Keeempat: Melenyapkan kritikan hukum sebat terhadap wanita

Pada 24 Februari 2010, lantaran daripada laporan polis oleh beberapa badan bukan kerajaan, The Star, akhbar bahasa Inggeris meminta maaf secara terbuka kerana menyiarkan artikel "Persuasion, not compulsion" (Pujuk, bukan paksa) yang ditulis oleh Pengarangnya, P.Gunasegaran pada 19 Februari.  Artikel ini mengkritik hukuman sebat terhadap tiga wanita yang melakukan kesalahan persetubuhan luar nikah.

Majlis Agama Islam Selangor (MAIS) mendakwa bahawa "mohon maaf" tidak memadai dengan apa yang dilakukan, maka MAIS membuat laporan polis pada 25 Februari terhadap P.Gunasegaran dan Sister in Islam (SIS), kerana "memperlekehkan" Islam dan Hukum Syariah.

Perkembangan yang menyusul menyaksikan bagaimana KDN mengeluarkan surat tunjuk sebab kepada The Star, yang kemudian menarik satu artikel kolum oleh Mariana Mahathir, anak perempuam bekas PM yang menyentuh isu sebat.

Kelima: Panduan baru untuk akhbar

Pada 17 Disember 2009, menurut laporan Malaysiakini, KDN telah memanggil satu mesyuarat bersama editor akhbar, membincangkan panduan baru untuk penerbitan.  Istilah dengan definisi kabur yang digunakan dalam panduan tersebut dirangka untuk "self-regulation" (pengawalan diri).

Menurut laporan, akhbar diarah untuk tidak melaporkan isu seperti bersekedudukan, hubungan seks luar nikah, homoseksual, counter-culture, dan dilarang menyiarkan gambar alat kelamin manusia dan pemakaian G-strings.

Keenam: Gangguan MCMC terhadap Malaysiakini

Pada 3 September 2009, Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia (MCMC) menuntut agar Malaysiakini, satu media internet untuk menarik keluar dua klip video berkenaan protes terhadap perpindahan kuil Hindu di Shah Alam.  Salah satu klip  video merakamkan sidang media pada 2 September 2009 yang diadakan Hishammuddin Hussein, Menteri Dalam Negeri yang membela peserta demonstrasi.

Pemangku Pengarah Kanan Bahagian Pemantauan dan Penguatkuasaan MCMC, Abdul Halim Ahmad mendakwa video tersebut mengandungi unsur yang menyinggung dan mencetuskan kemarahan komuniti India.  Pada 8 September, MCMC menyoal siasat 10 orang staf Malaysiakini untuk lebih daripada 8 jam.

Ketujuh: Rampasan buku

Pada 25 Ogos 2009, Pegawai KDN dari Bahagian Kawalan Penerbitan telah merampas 408 naskah majalah kartun, Gedung Kartun ketika menyerbu pejabat penerbitnya di Kuala Lumpur.  Majalah kartun yang dikelolakan oleh kartunis terkenal, Zunar ini berjenaka dengan perhubungan antara kes pembunuhan Altantuya Shaariibuu dengan PM Najib.

Ketua Penolong Setiausaha Bahagian Kawalan Penerbitan dan Teks Al-Quran, Abdul Razak Abdul Latif mendakwa majalah tersebut dirampas kerana tidak mempunyai permit, dan rampasan tersebut bertujuan untuk "siasatan". 【Gedung Kartun】

Pada 24 Disember 2009, buku berjudul "Malaysian Maverick: Mahathir Mohamad in Turbulent Times" telah ditahan di kastam Pelabuhan Klang, menjurus kepada "pengharaman" sehingga April 2010.  Bagaimanapun, tiada penjelasan diberikan lantaran "penahanan" yang lama ini.  Buku yang ditulis oleh Barry Wain, bekas editor Asian Wall Street Journal ini menuduh bekas PM Mahathir Mohamad harus bertanggungjawab kepada kerugian sejumlah RM100 billion semasa beliau menerajui pemerintahan negara.【Malaysian Maverick: "Buku dalam tahanan" laris di Singapura】

Pada 29 Januari 2010, sebanyak 64 naskah buku terbitan Malaysiakini, "Where is Justice" dan "1Funny Malaysia" dirampas di Pulau Pinang dan Melaka.  Buku berjudul "Where is Justice" mempertikaikan pihak polis dan SPRM dalam isu kematian dalam lokap, sementara "1 Funny Malaysia" adalah koleksi kartun Zunar.

Kelapan: Pengacara ntv7 ditukar

Pada 15 Julai 2009, MerdekaReview, media online melaporkan penerimaan surat amaran oleh pengacara rancangan isu semasa ntv7, Point of View, Florence Looi (gambar kanan), selepas beliau meminta ahli panel untuk menilai prestasi pentadbiran Najib 100 hari pertama, dalam rancangannya.【"Tak Wajar Menilai Najib" Pengacara ntv7 diberi amaran】

Rancangan ini menyiarkan episod terakhirnya pada 5 Julai, sementara Florence Looi pula diberikan tugasan baru.

Sungguhpun pencabulan kebebasan media sering dijalankan atas nama untuk memelihara keharmonian di antara kaum dan agama, namun tindakan ini selalunya bersifat selektif.  Akhbar harian Utusan Malaysia dan majalah Al-Islam milikan UMNO telah menyiarkan laporan bersifat hasutan, menyinggung dan tidak profesional, tetapi tidak diambil tindakan oleh kerajaan.

Bahayanya kawalan media

Kebebasan media dijamin di bawah artikel 10(1)(a) Perlembagaan Persekutuan.  Pencabulan kebebasan media akan mengundang kesan:

Pertama, melupuskan media sebagai kuasa keempat, mengakibatkan kegagalan orang awam untuk menyemak negara dan mempromosikan pentadbiran yang baik;

Kedua, menekan perbincangan umum, yang selalunya secara selektif atas nama isu sensitif, bakal menghalang keharmonian yang sebenarnya, iaitu keharmonian yang wujud hasil daripada saling mengenali antara warga Malaysia dari etnik, agama, budaya, bahasa dan sosial ekonomi yang berbeza.

Ketiga, dengan menutup ketidakadilan dan ketidakharmonian, mangsa yang terpinggir akan terus dipinggirkan - wanita, orang asli, golongan miskin dalam dan luar bandar, minoriti seksual, dan kumpulan monoriti yang lain.  Suara dan masalah mereka tidak dapat didengar.  Pembatalan rancangan dokumentari Empangan Bakun oleh Galeri Mandarin Nasional telah melenyapkan masalah kaum asli daripada dipaparkan di depan audien.

Campur tangan dari kerajaan dan bukan kerajaan, penapisan diri telah menjurus kepada situasi yang merbahaya ini.  Sememangnya, ia disempurnakan dengan akta media yang zalim dan anti-persaingan seperti Akta Mesin Cetak dan Penerbitan 1984, Akta Komunikasi dan Multimedia 1998, Akta Rahsia Rasmi 1972 dan Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri 1960.

Tuntutan Kami

Kami, individu dan pertubuhan yang menurunkan tandatangan di bawah, menuntut agar tindakan berikut diambil sebelum Hari Kebebasan Akhbar yang akan datang:

Pertama, Menubuhkan Suruhanjaya Di-Raja atau Jawatankuasa Pemilihan (Select Committee) untuk mengkaji reformasi akta media, supaya:-

a. Memastikan agar wujudnya minimum entry barrier untuk media cetak, penyiaran dan internet untuk menjamin kemajmukan pengamal media.

b. Kesemua mekanisme pemeriksaan politik harus dihapuskan, dan diganti dengan institusi yang ditubuhkan oleh pengamal media dan pertubuhan masyarakat sivill yang bebas.

Kedua, Kerajaan Persekutuan, negeri dan tempatan harus mempertahankan kebebasan dan hak wartawan serta warga negara untuk menyalurkan informasi, dan hak untuk tidak diugut oleh institusi bukan kerajaan.  Sementara mengkaji akta yang sedia ada, kerajaan harus mengelak daripada menggunakan akta yang sedia ada untuk menekan media.

Ketiga, daripada mengamalkan penapisan diri, pengamal media seharusnya mempertahankan profesional dan kebebasan akhbar.

Untuk matlamat jangka pendek, kami menuntut agar perkara di berikut diselesaikan sebelum hujung bulan ini:

Pertama, ntv7 dan TV2 perlu menyiasat dan memberi penjelasan berikutan tuduhan self-censorship baru-baru ini;

Kedua, PM harus menjamin barisan kerajaan atau keluarganya tidak akan mengancam profesional pengamal media dalam pemilihan topik, perspektif dan sumber berita.

Organisasi yang mengambil inisiatif untuk merangka memorandum ini:

1. Writers Alliance for Media Independence (WAMI)
2. Centre for Independent Journalism (CIJ)
3. Civil Rights Committee of KL & Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall (CRC-KLSCAH)
4. Coalition for Clean and Fair Election (BERSIH)
5. Suara Rakyat Malaysia (SUARAM)
6. Zunar & ‘Gedung Kartun’ Group
7. Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia (SABM)
8. Centre for Policy Initiatives (CPI)
9. Research for Social Advancement (REFSA)
10. New Era College Progressive Front

Memorandum ini akan terbuka untuk endorsement pertubuhan dan individu sehingga 28 Mei 2010.  Individu digalakkan untuk menandatangani petisyen online di  http://www.petitiononline.com/20100430/petition.html

Memali: Menteri nafi Musa Hitam arah tembak

Menteri Dalam Negeri Datuk Hishammuddin Hussein berkata spekulasi bahawa Tun Musa Hitam mengarahkan polis menembak mati dua penduduk semasa peristiwa berdarah Memali di Baling pada 1985 adalah tidak benar.

Ketika itu, Musa (kanan) merupakan timbalan perdana menteri dan juga menteri dalam negeri.

Hishammuddin berkata, pada 19 November 1985, polis menjalankan operasi untuk menangkap Ibrahim Mahmud dan 35 pengikutnya di bawah Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA) 1960 kerana disyaki terlibat dalam kegiatan yang menggugat keselamatan negara.

"Semasa operasi tersebut, pihak polis telah diserang oleh pengikut-pengikut Ibrahim Mahmud dengan bersenjatakan senjata api, parang, pedang dan buluh runcing," katanya.

Hishammuddin memberitahu demikian dalam jawapan bertulisnya kepada pertanyaan lisan Senator Tunku Abdul Aziz Tunku Ibrahim, yang juga naib pengerusi DAP, di Dewan Negara Isnin lalu.

Menurutnya lagi, pihak polis telah menyeru penyokong Ibrahim supaya meletakkan senjata dan menyerah diri secara aman.

'Demi mempertahankan diri dan mematahkan serangan tersebut, pihak polis terpaksa menggunakan senjata api dan melepaskan tembakan," tambahnya.

Peristiwa tersebut kata Hishammuddin telah mengorbankan empat anggota polis dan 14 orang awam termasuk Ibrahim manakala 23 anggota polis dan 14 orang awam mengalami kecederaan.

Selepas tragedi berdarah kira-kira 25 tahun lalu itu, Musa sentiasa dikaitkan dengan arahan menembak penduduk kampung tersebut memandangkan beliau menjadi menteri dalam negeri pada ketika itu.

Beliau juga pada masa itu memangku tugas perdana menteri ketika Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad berada di luar negara.

Parents claim daughter shunned by school

SEREMBAN: The parents of a 14-year-old girl, who alleged that she was raped by a policeman in Rembau, are now claiming that their daughter is being shunned by her school.

The girl's 36-year-old father, who works as a production operator in a factory, claimed yesterday that the school had stripped his daughter of her prefect post and demoted her from the third class to the last.

"She is in Form Three and was in the third class out of eight. But after the incident, the school administrators sent her to the last class. How can they do this to her when she is the victim?

"Instead of protecting her and giving her counselling for the trauma she endured, they are treating her like a bad person," he said.

He also claimed that his daughter was so traumatised by the incident that her studies have been affected.

"She was also very active in sport and had taken part in numerous sports competition representing her school and the district.

"But now, she hardly goes to school and is embarrassed due to fear of being shunned by her friends and teachers," he said.

The parents yesterday highlighted the matter to state Education Department director Datuk Abdullah Muhammad.

Abdullah said he would look into the matter immediately and get a report from the school principal.

"If this is true, it shouldn't happen like this... it is the school's responsibility to help a student in dealing with such situations and not make her a victim."

Efforts to reach the school principal for comment were futile.

The girl had claimed that she was raped by her policeman friend at his police quarters on March 17.

The victim also alleged that on March 20 , he punched her when the girl told him that she wanted to relate her ordeal to her mother.

On Thursday, state police chief Datuk Osman Salleh stressed that police would not protect any officer involved in crime.

The girl's father had claimed that the police were slow in taking action because the person allegedly involved was an officer who was attached to the traffic unit in Rembau.

Osman advised the parents to meet him or state Criminal Investigations Department chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Zaki Masroh to find out about the case.

"We are just waiting to iron out some details before handing the case to the prosecution unit," he said, adding that the officer had been transferred out of the district police headquarters.
