FROM PEOPLE'S CHAMPION TO 'BULLY PEOPLE': Nur Jazlan now competing with Ahmad Maslan to 'kiss Najib's hand'

FROM PEOPLE'S CHAMPION TO 'BULLY PEOPLE': Nur Jazlan now competing with Ahmad Maslan to 'kiss Najib's hand'
To join a gang, an aspiring member has to show the gang’s leader that he has the qualities it takes to be a member. If he’s nominated by someone other than the leader, he faces a tough challenge, but Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed is up to the challenge.
Three weeks ago, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak appointed Nur Jazlan as deputy home minister. His boss, the home minister, is Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who has been sued for assault, has a soft spot for Malay gangs, and has written a letter of support for a triad member and gambling kingpin.
Nur Jazlan’s recent comments on Bersih 4 suggest that Zahid has challenged Nur Jazlan to prove himself worthy of being in Zahid’s gang.
Nur Jazlan appears to have chosen the most idiotic ministers as his role models.
Nur Jazlan seems to be competing with Deputy International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Ahmad Maslan who said the boos he got from Umno members in his constituency, Pontian (my hometown!), don’t indicate that they dislike him.
Nur Jazlan also seems to be competing with Rural and Regional Development Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, whose response to the Low Yat incident was to entrench apartheid by creating Low Yat 2 “for Malays”.
Nur Jazlan’s play in the idiocy stakes is his claim, while supporting the police ban on Bersih 4, that “no other country in the world has a police force that is as tolerant as the Malaysian police” (The Star, August 20).
With that claim, Nur Jazlan has qualified for membership of another club. It’s the club whose motto is “My mind is made up. Don’t confuse me with the facts.”
Nur Jazlan - now infamous rather than famous
The erstwhile chair of the Public Accounts Committee has, since his promotion to deputy home minister, joined the ranks of other ministers: he has chosen to ignore facts.
But we do not look to members of our Cabinet for a judgement on the police force. We look instead to respectable authorities and facts.
In the Kugan (death in police custody) trial, High Court judge Datuk V.T. Singham said this of Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar, the current inspector-general of police: “This court also finds several glaring material contradictions between Khalid and other witnesses in respect to the investigation into the death of the deceased;" and "no person in any position or rank, when testifying in court, should take this court for granted and attempt to suppress the truth to escape liability.”
In the Bersih 3 case (government claim for compensation for damage from the organisers), High Court judge John Louis O’Hara said: “a total of 909 tear gas canisters and 58 tear gas grenades were fired by the police” and concluded that “the acts and omissions of the police… contributed to and resulted in the damage”.
In the Kugan case, 52 witnesses were called, of whom 33 testified for the government. Forty-nine witnesses were called by the inquiry into the Bersih 3 rally conducted by Suhakam, the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia.
The Suhakam inquiry roundly chastised the police, and can be read in its entire here. I’ll just highlight six key findings:
One, the police did not act in the spirit of the Peaceful Assembly Act, 2012.
Two, the police did not give sufficient time for the participants to disperse.
Three, the police used disproportionate force towards those whom they arrested.
Four, the police assaulted media personnel and confiscated their equipment.
Five, the police wrongfully deprived those detained at Pulapol of their rights.
Six, the police condoned misbehaviour when they chose not to act against those who protested outside the home of Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasen.
Suhakam diplomatically issued many “recommendations” for the police. I’ll list just three:
The police should investigate all police reports made by the public in relation to acts committed by police personnel.
The police should wear their name tags or “identification body numbers” at all times when exercising their duty.
The police should not issue statements which may be interpreted as “condoning or advocating any infringements of human rights”.
The authorities and the facts clearly do not support Nur Jazlan’s claim.
Nur Jazlan’s claim that the Malaysian police are “tolerant” will get him gang membership, perhaps even a letter of support, like a certain gambling kingpin and triad member. To win the idiocy stakes, he’ll need to compete with Ahmad Maslan and Ismail Sabri. I’m sure he can win. –TMI
