DAPSY calls for thorough probe into Kulim shootout
Statement by Ng Wei Aik, the National Publicity Secretary of DAP Socialist Youth (DAPSY) on 23rd of February, 2009 in Georgetown, Penang:
DAP Socialist Youth (DAPSY) calls for thorough probe into Kulim shootout where six men were shot dead by the police in Kulim earlier last week.
This is another shameful incident happened after A. Kugan’s case, showing that the police has not taken any lesson from the case of Kugan, 22, who was arrested on 14th of January, 2009 on suspicion of involvement in a car theft syndicate, collapsed and died in the police station during interrogation on 20th of January, 2009.
Until today, the police had failed to provide a satisfactory explanation for the fatal shooting of six men in Kulim. DAPSY strongly request that a public inquiry should be held as the truth cannot be swept under the carpet.
This public inquiry must be held by appointing an independent panel comprising of non-partisan community leaders and they have to look into various aspects of the shooting and even to review “the license to kill” given to the police.
In the mean time, DAPSY calls on all policemen involved in the shootout must be suspended immediately until the investigation is completed. Should they commit any nature of crime, they have to be punished by the court of justice.
In that police shootout, six men believed to be involved in several armed-robbery cases in Kedah, Penang, Perak and Selangor were killed by a team from federal police headquarters in Bukit Aman.
The killed men were contract worker R. Elangovan, 38; L.S. Santana, 34; contractor R. Pannir, 28; crane driver S. Vadivelan, 29; carpenter S. Gurusamy, 50, and lorry attendant R. Dilip Kumar, 20.
Once again, DAPSY reiterates its strongest stand that Kugan and six men in Kulim should not die in vain but the justice they deserved has to be done by charging those responsible policemen to the court.
