what has happened?

Nowadays, people are eager to posting and updating status about the issues happened in Malaysia. It attracts the readers to share ideas, thoughts and debate for showing public interest.

     There is one case happened in year 2009, where it was involved this online journalism to create racism and unhappiness among Malaysian. The case first started when Attorney-General announced that a death of a suspect in police custody was classified as murder.

     It became controversy when the suspect, Gopal, 22, been told died five days after being arrested by police at Subang Jaya in the same year. Many people especially his family claim that Gopal was tortured while he was investigated by the police.

This case set of the emotional and anger responses by Indian community. They claimed that Gopal was tortured because of the discrimination and racism. To prove that as true, the family sent the memorandum to Inspector-General for demanding a second autopsy while some protesters gathered and holding up banners.

Meanwhile, the photos of Gopal’s dead body showed bruises and cuts been distributed over the Internet. This situation has increased emotional thoughts towards was happened.

For your information, the suspect was a car thief that involved in many cases of stolen luxurious car. He is also a suspect of many cases of rape, however, his victims are unwilling to come forward and make a police report.

He had led the police to the location where the stolen cars were secretly kept. However, that was the only evidence that he showed to the police. Gopal failed to tell other evidences to the investigative police officers. The evidence showed that he was not alone. There is a syndicate behind Gopal as well.

For me, the suspect been torturing by police officers during his custody is necessary. It is because, there is a way where the suspect will told the information needed by the police. The police has a right to do so as well as the police followed the ethics and rules.

The case of Gopal, we can’t blindly blame the police only. During his time in cell, there are another five others gangsters been prisoned together with him. There is possibility that, Gopal and another five gangsters have a fight in the cell.

I totally agreed that what is police officers do while investigate the suspect and tortured them are basic by only to threaten suspect. That is the way to make the suspect agreed to share the information.
