Gangs deceive public by sponsoring community events

Police reveal that secret societies have been sponsoring community events and have even gone to the extent of inviting VVIPs to cover up their illegal activities.

KUALA LUMPUR: Police today revealed that some secret societies deceive the public on their illegal activities by sponsoring official community functions.

Principal assistant director of the federal police (Bukit Aman) Secret Societies, Vice and Gambling Division, Abdul Jalil Hassan said police realised this trend and that these secret societies targeted public functions, especially those attended by VIPs.

“They will sponsor such functions to show that they are involved in community activities. Their aim is none other than to portray that they also do good for society, and they will take photographs with the VVIPs present as proof that they carry out legal activities,” he told Bernama, here, today.

He said this trend among some secret societies was also aimed at infiltrating the local community to divert public attention from their actual activities.

Politicians attending ‘Geng 36′ events?

It has become an obligation, compulsory even, for famous politicians to accept invitations by NGOs to attend public functions, hand out mock cheques, give a short speech or pose for photographers while cutting the ribbon.

But a recent controversy involving claims that three top BN leaders attended a gang-related event on the pretext that it was a charity event begs the question whether politicians should be more circumspect in accepting invites.

On Monday, a police report was lodged demanding an investigation into an anonymous letter circulating on the Internet, alleging that the trio were involved in a function organised by ‘Geng 36′ for 6,000 people on Dec 3, 2011 at The Mines, Seri Kembangan.

It was lodged by S Murali (left) in his capacity as a member of an NGO called Tamilar Action Force (TAF). Malaysiakini later learned that he is also the Puchong PKR deputy division chief.

He claimed that his police report was not politically-motivated and his purpose was curbing gang-related activities in the Indian community.

MIC man denies being gang leader, threatens legal action against Home Ministry

“I am not a gang leader!”

This is the defiant cry from Kalai Arasu Muniandy (pic), who was named the leader of Gang 36 in a list released by the Home Ministry yesterday.

The 42-year old insisted that he has no criminal record and blamed political rivals for linking him to secret societies, saying that it has damaged his reputation.

Arasu is a MIC Youth exco member and the party’s Hulu Langat division youth chief.  He joined MIC in 2000. He will be vying for a position in the MIC central working committee at the coming party polls.

But his fortunes may have changed yesterday when the Home Ministry named “Kajang Kalai” from Gang 36 as one of the gangsters wanted by police.

Kalai Arasu was immediately linked to that list based on the similar nickname and locale, and since then, he has been hounded by phone calls.

“I am not in any gangs. I have never been arrested or charged. I don’t understand why my name is on the list,” Kalai Arasu told The Malaysian Insider.

MyWatch claims Gang 36 leader is also MIC branch head

PETALING JAYA:  MyWatch adviser S. Gobi Krishnan has claimed that a Gang 36 leader is also an MIC member and holds posts in the party.

Gobi also alleged in a statement that was a youth branch head and also a member of the MIC youth executive council.

“It is indeed shocking that gangsters are holding high-ranking positions in the party, which explains why no action was taken against him, ” Gobi said.

Gobi believed that the infiltration of gangsters into the party posed a national threat.
…

On Friday, a list of local gang leaders’ names was made public, and Gobi claimed an MIC youth leader was one of the names on the list.

MIC youth chief T. Mohan, however, denied any knowledge of the MIC leader’s involvement in gangsterism and questioned the legitimacy of the allegations.

“Why haven’t the police caught him if he was involved in crime?” he questioned.

Mohan said that he was sceptical of the gang leaders’ name list.

“I do not understand who endorsed the names. Why would the police release the names? Will that not cause the criminals to run and hide?” said Mohan.

He also questioned why were there no names of gang leaders from other communities in the list.

Cops reveal names of 30 gang leaders

KUALA LUMPUR: More than 30 local leaders of Gangs 04, 08 and 36 and their areas of control have been made public following Ops Cantas Khas.

The people on the list, according to Bernama quoting Home Ministry sources, are still actively operating on their turf.

Malaysiakini

A NGO have have lodged a police report over an anonymous letter claiming that three prominent BN leaders had attended a function organised by a criminal organisation known as ‘Geng 36′.

Tamilar Action Force committee member S Murali, who came across the letter on Facebook, had urged the police to investigate the veracity of the claims made in the letter, which was addressed Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

Murali’s police report stated that an investigation is warranted because ‘Geng 36′ is an “illegal group” and the letter had claimed that there were politicians involved at their function.

According to the letter, which was distributed to the press by Murali, the event was held at The Mines, Seri Kembangan on Dec 3, 2011 involving between 6,000 to 7,000 people.

The names of the three leaders quoted in the letter are withheld pending replies to Malaysiakini’s request for comments. Two prominent MIC leaders and one Umno leader were cited.

Videos of alleged gang members’ funerals being uploaded on the Internet

PETALING JAYA: Video recordings from funerals of people believed to be gang members are being uploaded on the Internet, along with specially created video montages as “obituaries”.

In most of the videos seen on YouTube, groups of men who are allegedly part of gangs like “Gang 36” and “Gang 0408” take to the streets during the funeral processions.

The videos depicted them on motorcycles and in modified cars, travelling in groups and holding up traffic at some spots along the way, sometimes for several minutes.

Those present at the funerals would generally be dressed in black.

They would place firecrackers before the hearse and set them alight, creating much noise as they danced at the same time.

Geng 36 dalang pembunuhan timbalan ketua pengarah kastam, lapor media

The Malaysian Insider

Kumpulan kongsi gelap, Geng 36 dikatakan sebagai dalang pembunuhan Timbalan Ketua Pengarah Kastam Diraja Malaysia (JKDM), Datuk Shaharuddin Ibrahim (gambar) tahun lalu.

Memetik laporan sumber, Utusan Malaysia berkata Shaharuddin ditembak kerana kumpulan tersebut membalas dendam.

“Mereka ini juga pernah terlibat dengan pelbagai kes lain, termasuk kes tembak dan samun.

“Jadi mungkin disebabkan dendam kerana dadah yang diseludup dirampas di pelabuhan atau lapangan terbang, maka mereka jadikan Shaharuddin sebagai sasaran,” kata Utusan Malaysia memetik pendedahan sumber.
…

Baru-baru ini, suspek utama kes pembunuhan itu berjaya diberkas polis di sebuah rumah di Ampang, Selangor.

Polis turut menahan tiga lagi rakan suspek dalam serbuan lain di Batu Caves, Selangor dan kesemua suspek kini ditahan di Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah (IPD) Putrajaya serta ditahan reman selama seminggu untuk siasatan lanjut.

Kuala Lumpur deputy CID chief Khairi Ahrasa said the police had the photo-fit of the prime suspect but no arrest had been made so far as they were in the midst of ascertaining his identity through further investigation.

“We have reliable information on the suspect and we may detain him as early as next week. Because the investigation is still going on, we cannot publish his photo at the moment,” Khairi said, adding that the police believed that the suspect aged between 22 and 30, was still in the country.

MACC busts luxury car smugglers who were being probed by Customs’ Mr Clean when he was shot dead

The luxury car smuggling syndicate busted by Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) on Thursday is believed to be the same one that was being investigated by a senior Customs officer who was shot dead in April.

Royal Malaysian Customs deputy director-general Datuk Shaharuddin Ibrahim (pic) was a year away from retirement when he was shot dead in his car by a motorcycle pillion rider who fired three shots that hit him in the neck and cheek.
…

His son, Akhtar Shaharuddin, told The Malaysian Insider recently that he believes his father’s death was linked to a car-smuggling syndicate based on the duty-free island of Langkawi in Kedah.

On Thursday, MACC detained a bank manager, her husband and another man who are believed to be smugglers of luxury cars. The arrest was also focused on fraud and money laundering.

MACC investigation director Datuk Mustafar Ali confirmed the arrest of the suspects, aged between 30 and 40, but would not reveal more details.

28 Aug 2013 08:55pm

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 28 — Police have several leads into the killing of Customs deputy director-general Datuk Shaharuddin Ibrahim who was shot dead in Putrajaya in April.

Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Mohmad Salleh said the police were still carrying out a careful investigation and had received useful information on the case.

“The investigation is progressing well but I cannot divulge any details,” he told reporters at the Sentul District Police Headquarters here today.

He said this when asked to comment on a report in a news portal which quoted the victim’s son, Mohd Akhtar Shaharuddin as claiming that he was disappointed with the lukewarm treatment given by police on the investigation on his father’s case, which has yet to see anyone charged.

SHOT DEAD IN PUTRAJAYA: Justice for ‘Mr Clean’

“My father’s murder was planned. It was related to a car smuggling syndicate in Langkawi. My father had previously told his superiors of corrupt customs officers in their midst, claiming that they were linked to a car smuggling racket.”

Mohd Akhtar Shaharuddin, the son of Royal Malaysian Customs deputy director-general II Datuk Shaharuddin Ibrahim who was shot dead in Putrajaya on April 26.
…

A month before Shaharuddin was gunned down, the Customs Department issued a statement that 368 Langkawi-registered vehicles are running in the rest of Malaysia with suspected forged customs declaration forms.

“We have detected 368 vehicles originally registered in Langkawi and subsequently registered in Principal Customs Areas using suspected falsified custom declaration forms without payment of customs duties and taxes,” it said on March 21.

(Areas outside of Langkawi and Labuan, it said, were known as Principal Customs Areas.)

It added that it had seized 76 vehicles “for further investigation” and was tracking the remainder. This, according to sources sent many people running helter-skelter to get their cars back on the island.
…

So, what did Shaharuddin discover? A number of dealers working hand in glove with crooked customs officers were bringing in cars from the island without paying the appropriate duties.

But Mohd Akhtar made some telling points:

The mastermind was someone in the customs department;

Shaharuddin had told his superiors of corrupt customs officers who were involved in the scam; and

Subsequently, on reporting the wrongdoers, he received a transfer order;

The order was rescinded after the Customs Officers’ Union intervened and fought his case.
…

There are two issues of public concern – one is the murder itself and the second is the export of cars without paying the duties.

Since Shaharuddin was Number 3 in the hierarchy, his complaint must have gone to those above him. What action did they take against the errant officers who aided and abetted in this unjustifiable exercise of depriving the government of the revenue?

Was Shaharuddin’s reporting that led to the seizure of the cars on the mainland? If so, who were the perpetrators of this fraud? Were they brought to book and were those who bought these cars knowingly prosecuted for cheating on taxes?

Shaharuddin served the department for over 30 years where his work earned him the moniker “Mr Clean”. His yeoman service and diligence to the country would go to waste if his killers and those associated with the smuggling of the cars get away or with a slap on their wrists.
