The Death of Kugan And The Convoluted Reasoning Of Our Much-Maligned AG

1st October 2009.

The late KUGAN suffered a brutal and painful death whilst in Police custody.

After a futile attempt at a cover-up and almost 8 months later ( and with an impending by-election in Negeri Sembilan ), the AG finally awoke from a self-induced stupor to charge 1 Policeman ( although we were told 11 personnels were initially suspended and assigned to desk jobs ) with an offence for causing grievous hurt whilst trying to extort a confession from the the late KUGAN ( and not for the offence of murder ).

The AG wants us to believe that a single policeman had inflicted such untold physical brutality on the deceased.

Today is indeed a sad day, not only for the family of the late Kugan, whose life was so brutally snatched away by some licenced goons who unashamedly claim to be Police Officers, but also to all Malaysians who believe in this thing called the Rule of Law. It numbs our senses. Is the AG really that heartless without a sense of responsibility to the colour of his office?

The AG's reasoning ( as reported by the media ) for not charging the culprit for murder ( "because the deceased did not die immediately but four days later" ) is indeed mind-boggling! You mean you can only charge a person for murder if death is instantaneous? How revealing? I thought only God works in mysterious ways but it looks like the AG too acts in a similar fashion..... and God he is not!!!

You see, if you want to give the story a spin ( as dictated by your political masters ), then you better do it like a professional or else you will either fall flat on your face ( as in this instance ) or you will find yourself in a knot ( remember Dr M's famous assertion that " Anwar is safe " and the "blackeye could have been self-inflicted? " and by implication, was proven to be an unmitigated liar to the world?).
Today, the AG wants us to believe that a single Policeman, unaided by his collegues, inflicted those horrendous injuries on the late KUGAN. In that case, I would also want the AG to believe that my mother is a virgin to the hilt!

The problem with our leaders is that although they will steadfastly assure you that no one should question their God-given right to carry out their religious obligations and to protect their race, the very next minute they will conduct themselves in a manner that is anthema to their race and religion.
For instance, doesn't our religion teach us that we should owe our loyalty to our oath of office and not to our political masters? Maybe this is the question the AG should ponder over.

Would he have recommended the same charge if the victim had been his son or a loved one? Are the lives of people like Kugan expendable simply because his family is poor and have no standing in the community?

Today, just before our AG prays to fulfill his religious obligations, I hope he will have a good look at his son(s) or daughter (s) and thereafter, reflect on the decision he has made and see if he can get a good nite's sleep.

Please dont get me wrong... I bear no personal ill-will against the AG ( heck , I don’t even know him in person ) and I am not saying this because Kugan happens to be an Indian like myself. I will still hold the same sentiments irrespective of the colour of one's skin or the length of his/her hair.

We must learn to love life... not destroy it because by doing so, you are usurping the powers of God and I don't think God will be too happy no matter how many times we pray or whatever offerings we make!

If BN in general and UMNO in particular, think that they can continuously hoodwink the public by mere sloganeering, the next GE may prove to be their rude awakening.... by then of course it would be too late!!!
