THE opposition will move a motion in Parliament for the setting up of a Royal Commission to investigate the shooting of six suspected criminals by the police in Kampung Kemunting here four days ago.DAP chairman Karpal Singh said the setting up of the commission was crucial as it would allow the Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Musa Hassan, to clarify to the families of the six victims, as well as the people, on the incident.
"Inspector-General of Police (Tan Sri) Musa Hassan should give special attention to this case because it involves six lives," he told reporters after accompanying S.Kumuthamalar, 37, the widow of one of those killed, to lodge a report on her husband's death at the Kulim police station here today.
Karpal said the families of the other five victims would also lodge similar reports.
In the incident on Monday, police shot dead six men who were believed to be involved in several armed-robbery cases reported in Kedah, Penang, Perak and Selangor.
They were Kumuthamalar's husband, contract worker R. Elangovan, 38; L. S. Santana, 34; contractor R. Pannir, 28; crane driver S. Vadivelan, 29; carpenter S. Gurusamy, 50, and lorry attendant R. Dilip Kumar, 20.
Kedah police chief Datuk Syed Ismail Syed Azizan said that two of them were wanted by the police for investigations into several crime cases.
tunku : hope that parliament will not waste its precious time in discussing about this royal commission.there are more serious matter that need to address than this baseless allegations by the people who trying to be popular. think about those lives which are lost because of criminals.don't expect policeman to die first before they can shoot back at the criminals.

It's a waste of time setting up a Royal Commission for this purpose. Do not treat the police as demon in this case. I am not saying that the police are always right. But when it comes to confronting armed criminals no one would deny that they have to retaliate when their lives are in danger. When the police are confronted with armed criminals they have to protect themselves even to the extent of shooting them dead. Wake up Malaysians. We do not want to be robbed and killed by criminals. The crime rate is terribly high now. Politicians are busy politicking. The police are busy involving themselves in political problems. Shoot to kill armed robbers would be a deterrent to all Malaysians so that they learn to engage themselves in decent living. We have seen enough crime around us. Children being kidnapped, women being raped, people being slashed to death in the name of greed for money and wealth. How to stop these criminals? Drag them to court and have them bailed out then proceed with court proceedings that will take years to be resolved. I was told that during the Japanese occupation of Malaya the country was free of crime. Why? It was "hudud" the Japanese style that kept away criminal activities though many were living in poverty at that time. Dear Karpal, the rights of those being criminalised are equally important. Just have trust in the police as far as 'this matter' is concerned.
weird..... last time they always say there shouldn't be any interference....no invisible hand..... suddenly they are the one doing it...
