The Ghost Of Kugan

The past few weeks the killing or "dying" of Kugan - a car thief- in police custody gained much publicity and why not, with the involvement of some politicians like Uncle Sam Of MIC trying to become an Indian hero again after his much popular defeat in Sugai Siput demanding explanation from the government over Kugan's death with the Keris wielding Hishamuddin warning him not to take the law into his own hands. One wonders since when Uncle Sam started fighting for justice?... HMMM. Kugan was a criminal but he did not deserve to die in police custody. Criminals just like prostitutes are born not out of choice but due to society or peer pressure for materialism. Kugan was not a Rajhini Kant or Amitabh Bachan or a slumdog millionaire that deserves a statute in the Wax Museum or a Bollywood movie but he deserved justice. He shouldn’t have died in police custody as any criminal is innocent until proven guilty cos the law as we all know does not say Guilty until proven innocent. The police (majority of them) are always biased when comes to people of certain ethnic background and treat them unfairly and prejudicially. This is based on my experience working for a legal firm sometime ago. The Government should investigate and if the police officers are wrong they should be brought to justice and let the law decide their fate. Let it be a reminder to all then that Malaysia condemns racism and does not tolerate any injustice or police brutality. This is what I call a transparent government. If the government can speak for the world against the atrocities committed by the Zionist against Islam and brand it as acts of racism and terrorism then we should start sweeping from our own backyard .. Also this may help them to win Indian votes in the next general elections. The time is NOW and hopefully Najib realizes this.

PS Can someone tell Samyvellu to stop being a Cowboy ?
