A 51-year-old woman year hawker wants a probe into the alleged brutal assault of her son by police while in their custody.
Norizan Omar Basir (left) is also seeking proper medical treatment for Mohd Hafidan Mokhtarludin, 29, who is currently detained at the Simpang Ampat police station.
She said that when she met her son a month ago, he had problems with his vision and complained of frequent headaches.
He has been detained since March 13 for suspected car theft around Nibong Tebal.
Norizan expressed disappointment with the "acts and behaviour" of the police, which she described as "irresponsible".
"There were bruises and swelling on his two eyes, while the back of his head had two stitches and his back had bruises which I suspect were due to beating while he was detained in the Simpang Ampat police station," Norizan alleged.
Police still sitting on assault report accusation
She had lodged a report on Mac 17 at the Tasek Mutiara police station but has yet to receive any response from the authorities.
Accompanied by Suaram Penang representative Ong Jing Cheng (left), Norizan handed in a memorandum to State Police Chief Abdul Rahim Hanafi ,demanding that the culprits who allegedly injured her son be punished accordingly.
Norizan said after contacting the investigation officer, she was given the impression that the police had no intention of probing her complaints seriously.
"They kept pushing the responsibility to other police officers," she lamented.
"The Seberang Perai Tengah police department says the case has been transferred to Seberang Perai selatan police station, but the latter says it has been sent to the Perai police station," she added.
Another inquest sought
Meanwhile, Suaram is also seeking an inquest into the custodial death of Rahamat Md Noor, a drug suspect, who allegedly died the Bayan Baru police centralised lockup on April 27.
His younger brother Jamil Md Noor, 47, lodged a police report today expressing disappointment over his brother's death following his detention on Apr 22.
"We were told by a policeman that he died in the General Hospital. We went directly to the hospital and were merely issued his death certificate," Jamil said.
"But I am not happy and wants police to probe what had really happened to my brother," added Jamil, a fisherman.
Ong (right) said Rahamat's death was shocking to his family as they believed he was healthy and fit before his detention.
"He had no history of sickness prior to his detention but according to the police his death is due to acute peritonitis due to perforated gastric ulcers, and his case is classified as sudden death," he added.
Southwest district police OCPD Supt Lai Fa Hin has denied that the police was responsible for his death.
"The sickness is serious and happened in the abdomen area, he should have been treated properly or sent for surgery within i 24 hours as it would be fatal for the person suffering from this," Ong added.
"The family now questions his sickness and wants an inquest into his death," he insisted.
Ong has written to chief justice Arifin Zakaria, attorney-general Abdul Ghani Patail, and deputy public prosecutor Kalmizah Salleh, seeking the inquest.
