Cops making a mockery of Suhakam's Bersih inquiry

YOURSAY 'The powers-that-be are not sincere in trying to identify the culprits responsible for violence against peaceful demonstrators.'

Ex-OCPD can't identify errant cops from 10 videos

Joker: Even casinos have facial recognition software to identify faces of every patron. Our PDRM (Royal Malaysian Police) cannot even identify their own people after being given two months.

There are around 120,000 police personnel in Malaysia. If the photos of those police officers were distributed to all police stations and they were asked to identify them, how hard could it be?

There are 86,400 minutes in two months. This means even if you take 30 seconds for one person to compare one photo of police personnel, he would have enough time to go through the entire police force within two months.

Gobsmacked!: If former Dang Wangi OCPD Mohamad Zulkarnain Abd Rahman cannot identify the errant police officers, the least he can do is to send the photos to all the heads of the police contingents who deployed men in Dataran Merdeka on that day and seek their assistance.

He is making a mockery of the Suhakam inquiry. The powers-that-be are not sincere in trying to identify the culprits responsible for violence against peaceful demonstrators. Perhaps these culprits are under instructions to punish the demonstrators?

Onyourtoes: This is beautiful; the OCPD (officer in charge of police district) cannot identify a single police officer who abused the crowd.

See, it is so simple - if the police want to abuse people, all they need to do is to get those from outside the Kuala Lumpur police contingent.

Nobody is asking the OCPD to recognise every police officer on duty that day. But surely he must have means to get the relevant officers to identify those who abused peaceful protesters.

Look, are you saying if there are bogus police officers, there is no way to identify them too? How come the police was able to identify every civilian who crossed the police barricade that day?

Anonymous_40dc: Is Mohamad Zulkarnain making a fool of himself or does he think that the panel members are fools?

Yet this smart officer (by Malaysian standard) has been promoted to deputy director in the CID (Criminal Investigation Department)?

Abasir: What we are witnessing is the result of Najib's transformation programme - a programme designed to protect him and ensure his political survival at all costs.

We now know that the police force has been successfully turned around ...err, transformed.

Anomnim: If you can't identify your own guys then how can you catch the crooks? I am shocked at this utter incompetence. - Malaysiakini
