Wan Junaidi: Cops arrest gangs not based on race

THE arrest of people suspected to be involved in gangsterism has got nothing to do with their ethnicity, says Deputy Home Minister Datuk Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.


“The police do not arrest people based on their race, but on evidence that they are involved in triads,” he told Mohd Fasiah Mohd Fakeh (BN-Sabak Bernam).


On the arrests of people suspected to be involved in gangsterism so far, Wan Junaidi said 425,016 were Malays, 190,803 were Chinese, while 131,420 were Indians.


A total of 27, 217 suspects were from other races including natives from Sabah and Sarawak.


Wan Junaidi said fights between gangsters have been occurring lately because the former detainees of the repealed Emergency Ordinance were trying to reclaim their territories which were controlled by others.


On Malaysia’s prison system, Wan Junaidi said the country’s prisons are among the best in the world as it adhered to the United Nations convention on prisoners.


“We have implemented rehabilitation programmes for inmates based on the convention,” he said.


“For example, over 100 inmates have received degrees and even doctorates while in prison under the rehabilitation programme.”


On another matter, Wan Junaidi said enforcement authorities have increased their patrols along the Malaysian border areas during the on-going anti-crime operations.


Wan Junaidi said the police had also sent a list of suspects who were given restriction orders to the Immigration officers stationed at local airports to prevent them from leaving the country

DUA PENGIKUT 'TUHAN HARUN' DITANGKAP, POLIS BURU 8 LAGI

DUA PENGIKUT 'TUHAN HARUN' DITANGKAP, POLIS BURU 8 LAGI

KOTA KINABALU: Dua pengikut ajaran Tuhan Harun yang cuba menyembunyikan diri dengan lari ke Sabah gagal apabila dicekup dalam Ops Cantas Khas di Kampung Tagasan, dekat Semporna, kira-kira 1 petang tadi.

Kedua-dua suspek berusia 29 dan 37 tahun ditahan sepasukan anggota Bahagian Jenayah Berat (D9) Ibu Pejabat Polis Kontinjen (IPK) Sabah dengan kerjasama Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah (IPD) Semporna dan IPD Tawau.

Difahamkan, seorang daripada suspek berasal dari Bukit Beruang, Melaka, manakala seorang lagi dari Muar, Johor. Mereka kemudian dibawa ke IPD Semporna untuk siasatan lanjut.

Serbuan itu dilakukan susulan maklumat awam dan risikan selepas mereka dipercayai bersembunyi di sebuah rumah tidak bernombor di kampung berkenaan.

Hasil kejayaan penahanan kedua-dua suspek terbabit, polis kini sedang memburu lapan lagi pengikut ajaran sesat berkenaan yang dipercayai masih bersembunyi dan enggan menyerah diri.

Terdahulu, Ketua Polis Negara Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar, menerusi laman twitter lewat petang tadi, mengesahkan penahanan kedua-dua suspek.

Sabtu lalu, Khalid dalam sidang medianya di sini, berkata 10 lagi pengikut ajaran sesat Tuhan Harun kini diburu polis, bagi melengkapkan siasatan pembunuhan Ketua Penolong Pengarah Penguatkuasa Jabatan Agama Islam Pahang (JAIP), Ahmad Raffli Abd Malek yang ditembak pada 10 November lalu.

Khalid dipetik berkata, walaupun individu penting kumpulan itu termasuk ketuanya, Harun Mat Saat sudah ditahan, saki baki ahli ajaran sesat itu masih dikehendaki bagi melengkapkan siasatan.

Dalam serbuan sekitar Kuala Lumpur dan Selangor sepanjang minggu lalu, polis menahan 10 pengikut ajaran sesat itu termasuk seorang wanita dan merampas pistol dipercayai ada kaitan dengan pembunuhan Ahmad Raffli.

Tangkapan itu susulan siasatan terhadap Harun yang ditahan bersama isteri serta anak lelakinya di Tangkak, Johor, pada 20 November lalu.
