Police have detained three family members of the ARMED security guard who escaped with about RM450,000 from the bank. Those detained are All foreigners from a neighbouring country. I believe they are from Indonesia.
Initially the suspect was identified as Ardi Bin Hamzah from Tawau, Sabah.
But is it so easy for a foreign criminal to fool the authorities and the security company which not only employed but also armed him with a pump gun?
Thumbs up to the Home Ministry for revoking the firm's operating license. The Home Ministry/police must now conduct a thorough investigation to ascertain how the foreigner managed to land a job and obtain a pump gun.
Revoking the operating license is certainly not sufficient. We cannot afford to stop there.
Those who own/operate or run the company must be sent to jail. The punishment must serve as an example to others. It must be a deterrent.
The Government must come down hard on such irresponsible business people or else we will see a repeat of this gross stupidity.
... or was it sheer greed?
I also think that the victim's husband and children, and Ambank should file a multi-million legal suit against the security company.
Teach the culprits a lesson and show the kids who lost their mother at such a young age that there is this thing called justice.

Police: 3 family members of suspect who shot bank officer detained
SHAH ALAM: SELANGOR POLICE HAVE APPREHENDED THREE INDIVIDUALS BELIEVED TO BE FAMILY MEMBERS OF THE SECURITY GUARD INVOLVED IN THE AMBANK SHOOTING WHO ARE STILL ON THE LOOSE.
One of the three individual is a women believed to be the suspect's wife while the other two are men in their 20's.
Selangor police chief Datuk Mohd Shukri Dahlan said that both male were working as security guards for different security firms.
"We managed to retrieve RM20, 000 of the RM450,000 cash robbed from the bank at one of the security guard's working place.
"They are now in police custody and taken under Immigration law for not having valid travel documents," he said at Selangor police headquarters.
Mohd Shukri said police investigations revealed that the suspect, known as 'Ardi Hamza' was not a Malaysian citizen.
"We are currently investigating whether the suspect have any prior criminal records in his home country.
"At the same time we are working together with the International Police (Interpol) to ensure that the suspect would not be able to leave the country.
"We have also stationed our men at ports and borders across the country as catching him is our main priority now.
"However we believe that the suspect is still in Selangor and armed with a gun," he said.
Mohd Shukri also urged the public who might have information on the whereabouts of the suspect to immediately inform the police.
On Wednesday at 6.18pm, bank officer Norazita Abu Talib, 37, was shot on the head with a pump gun by the bank's security guard when she opened the bank's strong room with another female officer.
The victim has been working with the bank for 16 years.
p/s Wonder how many more criminals are roaming our streets masquerading as security guards, waiting for the opportunity to pounce on.... I wonder where they wander.
