ADUN SPEAKS | A better educated police force need not resist IPCMC

ADUN SPEAKS | On Christmas Day, Dec 25, 2020, four Indian youths, all in their early 20s, were shot dead in Sungai Buloh. They were apparently responsible for a robbery in Rawang.

They refused to stop their car and when one them later came out waving a machete, the police opened fire killing all of them.

According to the police, the four were involved in about 50 robberies in Selangor in December. Three of the individuals were from Desa Mentari, Petaling Jaya, and one was from Kota Damansara. He was said to have come back four months ago after restricted residence in Pahang.

This fatal police shooting and many others in the past raise questions about the conduct of the police force in general.
