My comments :

1.  Before I say anything here is a small note for Suhakam. I also have a soalan cepu mas for Suhakam (and everyone) at the end of this.

In the one year and weeks before Amri Che Mat disappeared on Nov 24, 2016 there had been a "running battle" of sorts between the Special Branch and the Perlis religious authorities against Amri Che Mat.

Remember : Amri Che Mat disappeared on Nov 24, 2016.  

Here is a simple chronological sequence of this "running battle" taken from the Suhakam Inquiry :

a.  On 21st October 2015, just over ONE year before Amri's disappearance the Mufti of Perlis had personally by himself led a 'raid' on Amri Che Mat's house, accompanied by 20 Police Officers !! 



b.  Then on 20th September 2016, just about TWO MONTHS before Amri's disappearance on 24 November, the Perlis MB Shahidan Kassim had warned about Amri Che Mat's NGO Perlis Hope.

And then the very next day (21 September 2016) the Perlis Religious Affairs Dept issued a letter against Perlis Hope to the State Education Dept. 

c.  (Dont forget I have a soalan cepu mas after this). Then on 7th October, 2016  about ONE MONTH before Amri's disappearance, Awaluddin Jadid the Special Branch fellow leading the "investigation" against Amri Che Mat and other Police officers had a meeting at the office of the Mufti of Perlis to discuss Amri Che Mat, Perlis Hope and the "Syiah threat" in Perlis.

And at this meeting of 7th Oct 2016 between Awaluddin Jadid and the Mufti of Perlis, Awaluddin  had handed over to the Mufti the latest SB intelligence about Amri Che Mat. You can read it at Para 86. of the Suhakam Report :


So bear this in mind very carefully.     Awaluddin Jadid and Police had a meeting with Mufti Perlis on 7th October 2016 where they discussed Shiahs and Amri Che Mat. The following month  on Nov 24, 2016 Amri Che Mat disappeared.

d.  And on Nov 6 2016, just 18 days before Amri's disappearance,  Awaluddin Jadid the Special Branch fellow who was heading the investigation into the Syiahs and Amri Che Mat spoke about the Shiah threat at a seminar somewhere :

So here is the soalan cepu mas.  There were raids on Amri's house, there were speeches, official letters and seminars against Perlis Hope, there were warnings against Shias in Perlis.

But after Amri was abducted and made to disappear on 24th Nov 2016, much of this anti Shiah "coordination" between the Special Branch and the religious authorities in Perlis seems to have stopped.  

Like as if there was no more Shiah threat in Perlis. 

It had suddenly disappeared.

There were no more meetings between Awaluddin Jadid and the Perlis religious authorities to discuss Amri Che Mat.

I say this because when asked about Amri's disappearance the Mufti said sarcastically that maybe Amri had gone to visit prostitutes in Thailand !! So the Mufti knows about the prostitutes in Thailand.

But if that was the belief, that Amri had just gone to visit prostitutes in Thailand, then why were there NO MORE follow ups about Amri Che Mat's shiah activities? Certainly after his visit to the prostitutes in Thailand Amri would come back to Perlis. He was still a threat. 

To recap, all parties denied having any knowledge of Amri's abduction and his whereabouts. If so the Special Branch should have continued with their aggressive investigations into Amri Che Mat and Perlis Hope.

But after Nov 24th 2016 all their investigations into Amri and Perlis Hope just stopped.  (Certainly that surveillance team was also dismantled and sent back to Bukit Aman). As though the problem had been "solved".  As though Amri Che Mat had disappeared from the face of the earth. 

The Special Branch must explain something else. 

Their files on Amri Che Mat must be very thick. 

There must have been frequent updates about his activities. 

The question is 'When was the last file update on Amri Che Mat's activities?'  

2. Folks, we really cannot do much other than keep highlighting these cases.

Which by itself has sufficient power. 
Never underestimate the power of speaking the truth.
The truth of a matter is the most powerful force on earth.

3. This is a case of mass abduction and possibly mass murder. And the Special Branch is involved - according to Suhakam. Where are the bodies of the FIVE people? We need closure to this case.  This case is worse than the 1MDB or the Altantuya murder. 

My hope is that some NGO, organisation or outfit will start organising rallies, road shows, candle light vigils and other non confrontational methods to pressure the government to get to the bottom of this case. The government is obviously dragging its feet on this matter.

To exert more pressure on the government may I suggest a peaceful weekly vigil at the Dataran Merdeka? Tuesdays will be good because the Cabinet meets on Wednesday.  Or it could be Saturday nite candle light vigils. Or just organise any peaceful gatherings all over Malaysia - from Perlis to Sabah. We need closure on the abduction and possible murder of these FIVE people. Take pictures and upload it onto Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook etc. 

4. I am perplexed why the PH government has taken ownership of this problem. This is not your problem. This thing happened under the BN.

Mr Lim Kit Siang and the DAP - why is there so much silence from you? Before PRU14 you did raise this matter aggressively. Now all of a sudden you have gone quiet. 

This is a case of mass murder. State sponsored mass murder. And you are keeping quiet.  As I said this thing did not even happen under your watch.

The perpetrators are largely known. 


5. To the 15 man Special Branch abduction team - your days are numbered. It is better for you to meet your own lawyers and issue a confession that you were merely following orders from your bosses. Don't be stupid. 

Jangan jadi bodoh, nanti akan jadi satu lagi kes Azilah Hadri dan Sirul Azhar - their whole life duduk dalam penjara di Australia atau di Malaysia. 

You are just Policemen. Policemen obey orders. But if you do not step out and confess your involvement then it becomes mala fide - bad intentions. 'Saya yang ikut perintah' akan bertukar menjadi berniat jahat dan subahat untuk menculik dan membunuh manusia.

It is not too late. Just confess your actions now.
