ALOR SETAR, Feb 18 (Bernama) -- Bukit Aman CID chief Datuk Mohd Bakri Zinin said police have the right to defend itself and quashed rumours that it acted based on skin colour.
He said in crime prevention, police laways acted based on information, the law, professionally, with patience and without racial prejudice.
"Police action in Kedah last night met all the criteria needed," he said defending the killing of six criminals aged 20-50 in a shootout at Lot 157-A, Kampung Kamunting, Karangan, Kulim at 10.10pm last night.
Mohd Bakri said this at a press conference at Kedah police headquarters here on Wednesday to explain the shootings and rumours that police only targeted people from a certain race.
In the operation last night, police also detained four women aged 20-24 and seized two Smith & Wesson 9mm revolvers with seven live bullets, a .38 revolver with five live bullets, a BMW, Proton Perdana and Cherokee jeep, gold smelting and drug processsing equipments.
He warned that police would act against political party leaders and non-governmental organisations (NGO) involved in protecting criminals.
"I hope this issue will not be politicised to fan racial sentiments as it will only disrupt the community.
"Criminals are a creation of the society not the police who are hated for taking action to protect the public."
Mohd Bakri denied that police shot dead an 18 year-old student last night and said action under the Sedition Act would be taken against those found spreading such rumours.
tunku : i guess next time before shooting any CRIMINALS, the police have to check their skin colour first.what has happened to these people.they are giving the criminals a very high regards and condemning the police force.the PDRM is a very high rated police force in the world.there are some dirty cops, they are there everywhere in the world but our police force among the best in the world.maybe next time the police bring these morons politician to the crime scene and involved them in the shootout.see if they are willing to do so and have the guts to do so or police should protest and boycott in catching any criminals for 24hours, see what happens then.then only these morons knows how the police are doing their work,how the sacrifice and put their lives to protect us. TO OUR POLICE FORCE, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK,WE MALAYSIAN ARE WITH OUR ROYAL MALAYSIAN POLICE

This new type of culture and value is detrimantel to the development and security of our country. Never politise this issue and we Malaysia. Should have high regards and confidence on our security force. Day before the same morons claims that PDRM did not perform their duties some preventing crimes but today they said the police is high handed. Just accept the fact that the criminals is a crook regardless of the race, religions and sex. Why we always like to point our own wrong doing to others. Just like the nude photo, give ourself a thought who to be blame except ourselves for not being careful enough. We know what she did all the while. Heavy smoker, drinkers and semua boleh.
