Traffic cops to help probe vehicle theft cases

KOTA KINABALU: About 5,200 traffic policemen will be roped in from Jan 15 to help Criminal Investigation Department (CID) officers in probes involving vehicle theft cases.

Federal Internal Security and Public Order director Datuk Salleh Mat Rasid said the CID would hand over investigation papers on the thefts to the respective district traffic police for immediate follow-up.

"If there is any arrest or recovery of the stolen vehicle, we will hand the case to the CID for action.

Comm Salleh said the latest move was implemented in light of the frequency of vehicle thefts at street alleys or residential areas.

"Traffic policemen are mostly the ones on duty at these areas. They will also be involved in locating stolen vehicles," he said after a dialogue with the state General Operations Force brigade officers in Kinarut near here Thursday.

Police records showed that 40.7% of the 177,520 crimes committed in 2010 involved thefts of vehicles, he added.

Harakah hits back at Hasan Ali

Posted: 29 Dec 2011 03:10 AM PST

PETALING JAYA: PAS organ Harakahdaily has hit back at embattled party leader Datuk Dr Hasan Ali for accusing it of twisting facts when claiming he had apologised to spiritual leader Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat in a recent closed-door meeting.

The publication ran a piece online Thursday carrying a transcript of its interview with Nik Aziz, highlighting excerpts to back an earlier article quoting the Kelantan Mentri Besar as saying that Hasan had apologised to him at the Tuesday night meeting.

Written in Malay and backed by a video clip, the contentious line read: Datuk Hassan Ali menarik balik kenyataan-kenyataan dia yang sensitif. Ini tanda kelelakian dia, anak jantan. Kita buat salah, bila kita sedar buat salah, tarik balik, minta maaf. Ini ajaran agama. Bukan senang manusia buat salah nak tarik balik, bukan senang. Tiba-tiba dia ni tarik balik.

(Datuk Hasan Ali retracted his statements that were sensitive. This is a sign of his manliness, a real man. We make mistakes, and when we realise we make mistakes, we take it back, apologise. This is what religion teaches. It is not easy for people who do wrong to take it back, not easy. Suddenly he took it back.)

Late Wednesday, Hasan issued a statement denying that he had apologised to Nik Aziz at their meeting in Kota Baru, saying he retracted his comments on the party's welfare state policy and apologised to party leaders during a press conference at his residence on Dec 24.

He said he was disappointed with Harakahdaily for claiming such, adding that he had reminded them "many times" not to twist facts which could create confusion and disunity.

Hasan's spat with the party organ is the latest to hit the former Selangor Pas commissioner, who has been at loggerheads with party colleagues over the past several weeks for criticising their leadership.

Both he and former deputy president Nasharudin Mat Isa also got in trouble for pushing for a revival of unity talks with arch-rival Umno.

Man held for chaining, confining children in toilet

BUTTERWORTH: Police have detained a man for abusing his two children by chaining and confining them in the toilet of their home in Taman Mawar, Jalan Raja Uda, here.

Seberang Prai North police chief ACP Zulkifli Alias said Thursday that the man, in his 40s, tied his six-year-old daughter and two-year-old son with a metal chain when he went out to work at 3pm Wednesday.

The siblings were forced to starve for more than five hours after the father left the house.

The man who works with a courier service company here, has been separated from his wife, a Thai national, since last month.

Zulkifli said the two children were found to be very weak from hunger and their legs chained.

He said the initial investigation found that the father had resorted to the measure as he did not have a nanny and the children were said to be naughty.

The man was detained to assist in the investigation under Section 31 (1) of the Child Act and faces a jail term of up to a year or a fine of RM2,000 or both.

A neighbour of the family who declined to be identified said he had heard the children crying for help at about 8pm.

He said when asked what happened, the girl shouted that they were being held in the toilet.

He later informed a Taman Mawar Voluntary Patrol Team and the police. - Bernama
