Thanks for conducting this poll coz the above question has been bugging me since the 1st day of the trials. My answer : THESE 2 SUSPECTS SHOULD NOT COVER UP THEIR FACES - Is the Malaysian government protecting them? - Or in the event they are found guilty, some other 2 persons will be the scapegoats??? Tx.

However, conscience only arises in those who fear God! Therefore, tell us, or let us tell one another among ourselves : - Do they really fear God? If they do, stand up, then, and reveal their conscience........so that we may hear from them : As to how and why they choose to do certain things certain ways, and allow their 'authority' to be swayed according to their own fancies. Let us hear them speak - from their own hearts! For the above matter, will some reporters please interview the Police Head?

Tak bikin mungkin lah perlu takut. There is no denial the bond of the WHOLE department in protecting their own, perhaps especially so if these two may be proven innocent after going through the motions? The WHOLE police force is now answerable to its conscience.

It is actually having the right attitude to do what is good and what is right. I do not see how the police officers involved can feel that what they have done is good and right unless of course they are deeply into the denial syndrome. Maybe, the public relations officer at Bukit Aman can enlighten us as to the consistent face-covering extended to the accused. For all we know, they may well have the right state of mind, but very cogent reasons to allow the faces to be covered. Until such explanations are given, please don't allow accused to cover their faces. Let the concept of malu (shame) be bared and let us celebrate the nudity of malu.

When their own personnell are the accused, they ought to be given the same 'showers'. Why should Azilah and Sirul be allowed to cover their heads? The double standard treatment should be stopped immediately. The whole population of Malaysia should insist on it. This is because equality before the law begins in small ways; and if the police cannot be trusted in small ways, how can they ever be trusted in bigger matters? Do the basic necessary, and that is, insist that the two accused remove their head coverings; and behave as the other lay people accused behave. Would you ever imagine Ah Kow, Ali or Ramasamy being allowed or helped by the policemen on duty to be covering their heads for them????? No way indeed. Remove the head coverings immediately. At least we know who are being referred to - as to what had transpired/said - by themselves and by the other witnesses.

I use to wonder from day one that these ‘accused’ enforcement officers who appeared in our national TV fully dressed with hood over them. Definitely these ‘accused’ officers are the so called privileged Malaysians. Can the enforcement officers offer the same privilege to the ordinary citizen in the street? Each time the ‘accused’ officers are captured on national TV, it reminds me of a case a few years ago, where a specialist Doctor (Gynecologist) at Kuantan was arrested and handcuffed and these scene was captured on our national TV. This Doctor merely treated a patient who was brought in by an enforcement officer, who was profusely bleeding may be after a D & C else where. As a specialist Doctor he was just doing his Noble profession in an emergency but in return the police arrested him as the patient died of excess loss of blood. I am sure that this Doctor will live with this stigma through out his life. After so many years of this tragedy this DOCTOR has never been charged, that’s the irony.

Therefore, the identities of ALL accused, like messrs Sirul and Azilah should be sheltered from the public eye until found guilty. Until one is pronounced guilty, he/she should not have to suffer the indignity of being demonised and made the object of sensationalism through the press. Those who have been victimised by such an abuse of process would find it very difficult to restore their own esteem even if they are eventually exonerated.

Why should they be scared; after all they are innocent until they are found guilty by the court. I have the distinct feeling that the police are protecting their own. There seems to be an abuse of authority.

I am confused! I am amazed! I am disappointed! I am disillusioned! These are some of the remarks that I have heard people make over this trial. To me.....this is one very weird trial from the start. Very strange indeed! I guess the tag line from the X files is all the more apt in this weird case. "The truth is out there". Maybe some day we Malaysians will know what "really" happened. Visvanathan Murugiah. P/S To the PDRM, all I have to say is this...No double standards please. The faces of the two remaining accused persons should not be hidden any longer. - Visvanathan Murugiah Sat, 01 Nov 2008 11:20:30 +0100
