GEORGE TOWN: The police have rounded up 200 people under the nationwide operation, ‘Ops Cantas’, which was carried out since Saturday, said Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar.

He said the suspects, held in the major operation, were being investigated under the Crime Prevention Act.
“Beginning Saturday, we started a major operation on drug trafficking hotspots, mounted road blocks and held spot checks at entertainment centres and 24-hour restaurants which were frequented by secret society groups.
“To date, we have apprehended 200 people under the Crime Prevention Act in which they could be detained up to 72 days, and after that they would be brought to court for further action,” he said in a press conference at the Penang police contingent headquarters here today.
“We want offences committed under the Crime Prevention Act to be categorised as serious which could be subject to heavy punishment as a lesson to the offenders,” he added. — BERNAMA

In the recent public outcry for the frightening almost every other day reported news about shootings and assassinations, Home Minister Dato’ Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi acknowledges the theory that all these hideous and brutal crimes are related and linked to the 2,600 EO detainees released and over 6,000 persons relived of their restricted residence order.
Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Mohd. Najib Tun Razak promised for the Police to be given what ever tools and resources they need to combat crime, especially serious in nature.

Najib declares willingness to support police in fighting crime

LATEST UPDATE: JULY 30, 2013 11:49 PM
Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said today the government is prepared to give the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) whatever is needed within reason and affordability to raise the effectiveness of the force in fighting crime, particularly serious crime in the country.
The prime minister also expressed concern over a spate of killings using firearms lately, saying it affected public confidence and increased fear with regard to security and serious crime.
In this regard, he said the police must take immediate action to regain public confidence following the developments with regard to security lately.
“It is up to the police to ask from the government what they require in terms of enhancing the capability within reason and within affordability. We will provide the police (with the necessary tools) to fight organised crime and serious crime in the country.
“We are prepared to consider the request and requirements of the police as long as there is a guarantee to safeguard against abuse of power and human rights,” he said at a media conference after chairing the National Finance Council Meeting 2013 at the Finance Ministry, here.
For immediate action, Najib said the police would use the existing law to implement whatever possible in the fight against serious crime.
In addition, he said a sub-committee comprising several ministers including the Home Minister and Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department would be set up.
Najib said the sub-committee would discuss with the Attorney-General and Inspector-General of Police to determine additional provisions in the law that could strengthen the police capacity to act.
“This matter can be brought up at the next Parliament session.
“We cannot allow the situation to persist. Immediate and serious action must be taken by the authorities to bring back public peace and confidence,” he said.
Yesterday, the founder of the Arab-Malaysian Development Bank now known as AmBank, Hussain Ahmad Najadi died while his wife suffered serious injury after being shot from close range at the carpark after coming out from a Chinese temple, the Kuan Yin Temple, at Lorong Ceylon, in Kuala Lumpur.
Last Sunday, anti-crime activist who is also the chairman of MyWatch, R. Sri Sanjeevan was injured after being shot at the junction near Taman Awana Indah, Jempol, Negeri Sembilan.
Another victim of a high-profile murder case was the Deputy Director-General of Customs (Customs/Internal Tax) Datuk Shaharuddin Ibrahim who was shot while on his way to office in Putrajaya on April 26.
Meanwhile, Najib refuted the allegation by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim who claimed that there were “hands influencing the decision” of the judge who dismissed his election petition recently.
“The government has never interfered. We must have confidence in the decision of the court.
“It was also the court that acquitted Anwar before. So why is it that he has no confidence in the judicial system of the country,” the Prime Minister added. – Bernama

Despite Home Minister Dr Zahid’s call to have EO-like preventive law be enacted, Prime Minister Najib believes that there is a need to balance between the need to maintain law and order for the sake of the majority and upholding the universal principles of human rights.
In addition to that statement, Prime Minister Najib today affirmed his stand that if existing laws and law enforcement mechanism is not adequate, then amendments on existing laws and new ones would be enacted

Najib: Govt has not finalised decision to bring back preventive law

PUTRAJAYA: The government has not made a decision to bring back the preventive law to fight serious crimes in the country, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said.
“We have not made a final decision. We want to see whether existing laws are sufficient at the moment. We are having intensive discussions, whether we require additional laws or not.
“The only problem for preventive law is that, how do you arrest someone if a crime has not been committed? If (it is) on mere suspicion, is it enough (sufficient) to arrest somebody on the basis of preventive law?
“So, that’s the debate we are having at present, and the public must be aware that at the same time, we are concerned about bringing down the crime rate and we are concerned about possible abuses of human rights in the country,” he said after attending the Hari Raya open house organised by the Treasury.
Between April and last month, 23 street shooting cases were reported nationwide, including those involving high-profile or public figures.
Asked whether the existing laws were sufficient, the prime minister said the government was looking at it, adding that the police and the Attorney-General’s Chambers were working very closely within the existing laws to study whether such laws were sufficient at the moment.
“I have made a public commitment that if existing laws are not sufficient, we will strengthen the existing laws but with sufficient provisions to safeguard against possible abuses,” he said.
On Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s statement that the current spate of street shootings was the price for freedom that each citizen paid, Najib said the government was looking for the best balance in terms of freedom of human rights and public interest based on our “desire to safeguard public order and peace”.
“The government is looking to ensure that the right of the individual is not compromised while public interest is safeguarded.
“This is the balance we have to achieve to create a more mature society and safeguard the fundamental rights of the individual, but without disregarding our desire to safeguard the public interest as a whole,” he added. – Bernama.
**************
Needless to say, the Police are taking very decisive actions to check against the persons who are the prime suspects or susceptible to be committing these cold blood murders and serious crimes. They are acting based on existing laws, which includePrevention of Crime Act 1959.
Malaysians as responsible citizens should be playing their role in ensuring that the nation is safe. If they cannot pro-active assist, then no one should be in the way for the Police to carry out their duties as professional law enforcement agents. They should provide the Police information whenever they can, to make sure that fleeing suspected bandits are nabbed.
We made the call to do a nationwide campaign for a new preventive law, to help the Police in restoring order and ensuring peace and stability.
Like minded Malaysians also should boldly stand up and tell aloud the Opposition, especially the DAP leaders who are using the opportunity of the Police actions against these ‘undesirables’ by demonising the Police.
The shooting of five men early this morning in Penang and the rounding up of these 200 suspects so far is the Police way of tell these ‘undesirables’, “Malaysia is no longer safe for you lot”.
Syabas, Polis DiRaja Malaysia. - bigdogdotcom
