JASIN: A man who fled the country, apparently to avoid a court case involving a fatal accident, is back on police radar after he updated his Facebook and Instagram with pictures of himself living a high life in South Korea.
Police are now confident that justice will finally be served in the case where four women were killed in a car crash on Jan 23, 2015.
Ida Dollah, 46, her daughters Siti Rohana, 23, and Siti Rohani, 18, and her mother Saimah Wahab, 77, were killed on the spot when the Kancil they were in was hit by a car head on.
.
Initially, a magistrate’s court let the driver off the hook, but police appealed at the Sessions Court.
Jasin police were facing a dead end when the driver failed to respond to court subpoenas requiring him to attend the hearing in Ayer Keroh.
Two months ago, Jasin Traffic Department investigation officer Insp G. Gunaaseellan was tasked to track down the absconder.
On Jan 9, Jasin police issued a statement asking the man to contact them, even listing his last known address, but did not receive any response.
They also tried to get his number from his friends and relatives, only to be told that he left the country almost two years ago without leaving any contact detail.
The police finally resorted to tracking him through his social media footprint, and hit the jackpot when they found he had posted photos of himself in South Korea on Instagram and Facebook in the first week of January.
.
DSP Arshad said police were making the necessary arrangements to bring him back, including applying for a warrant of arrest.
“We are confident of nabbing him very soon,” he added.

KUALA LUMPUR, April 11 ― A 48-year-old man suspected of insulting a national leader on social site was picked up in Klang, Selangor yesterday.
Dang Wangi police chief ACP Mohd Sukri Kaman said police apprehended the man at about 3.15pm and seized his mobile phone and sim card.
“The man admitted to using the mobile phone and insulting the government in his Facebook account,” he said in a statement here today.
Mohd Sukri said earlier a member of the public lodged a police report against the man after a picture of the suspect carrying a placard with words insulting a national leader went viral.
He said the man was remanded for four days until Thursday for further investigations.

Senior citizen who shared photo ‘insulting PM’ out on police bond
A 76-year-old man arrested for sharing a crude photograph allegedly insulting Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak in a WhatsApp group, has been released on a one-month police bond, police said in Johor Baru today.
Johor Police chief Wan Ahmad Najmuddin Mohd said the man had been held under remand after his arrest last Saturday.
The Magistrate’s Court did not extend the remand order which expired yesterday as the man was suffering from hypertension and diabetes, he said.
He said the investigation papers had been sent to the DPP and the police were awaiting a report from the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission.
“After getting the MCMC report, we will go back to the DPP for further instructions,” he added.

Arrest for WhatsApp ‘insult’ signals growing intolerance for dissent https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/347704 @CENBET
…
The arrest of a senior citizen for his posting on a WhatsApp chat group has signalled the current administration’s growing intolerance towards dissent and freedom of speech, the Centre For A Better Tomorrow (Cenbet) says.
“Continued stifling of contrarian voices will only lead to greater disenchantment and goes against open, civil discussion, which Cenbet promotes,” the NGO said in a statement today.
The latest crackdown, the group added, came on the heels of several “highly-questionable” actions taken by the authorities in recent months.
This includes charging activist Bilqis Hijjas for releasing yellow balloons on an event attended by the prime minister, as well as the charging of artist Fahmi Reza, who is known for drawing caricatures of the prime minister as a clown.
“The arrest and subsequent three-day remand against the man who posted a picture onto a WhatsApp group falls into the pattern of the authorities’ sliding tolerance towards alternative viewpoints.
“How a picture shared privately with a small group, where the aggrieved is not even a member of, can affect national security is indeed mind-boggling.”
This, added Cenbet, would only convey the impression of pettiness of the country’s national leaders.

The author suffers from diabetes and high blood pressure, reported Sinar Harian.
The author clad in purple lockup uniform, was brought to the court by 10 am today, the daily reported.
Johor Police chief Wan Ahmad Najmuddin Mohd said the man was arrested at his home in Kampung Tunku, Petaling Jaya, Selangor on Friday.
“The suspect was found to have uploaded the image under the name ‘Pa Ya’ in the WhatApp group ‘Bicara Politik Melayu’ (Discussion on Malay politics) aimed at insulting and offending Malaysians,” he said in a statement yesterday.

Arrest of Kg Tunku senior shows we’re going down the wrong path
Malaysians were outraged when Johor police yesterday arrested a 76-year-old senior citizen in Kampung Tunku, Petaling Jaya yesterday for an offence under Section 233 of the Multimedia and Communication Act 1998.
The senior citizen was arrested for allegedly sending an offensive image of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak under the name ‘Pa Ya’ in the WhatsApp group ‘Bicara Politik Melayu’. It seems to us that the allegedly oppressive nature of Najib’s regime has shown its true colours since the outbreak of his RM4.2 billion scandal.
Cabinet ministers, Umno leaders and government officers including top law-enforcers who work against him are sacked and removed from their positions. Political dissidents, social activists, artists and even ordinary Malaysians, in this case a 76-year-old, are subject to intimidation, persecution and selective prosecutions.
It is sad and leaves no doubt that freedom of expression in Malaysia has gone downwards.
What Najib and his coterie of advisers should be concerned about is why there has been a constant flow of criticisms against him despite the constant harassments and persecutions against his critics since the outbreak of his RM4.2 billion donation scandal?
What they must do is address the message of his critics instead of harassing and persecuting his critics. It would be more beneficial for Najib and his coterie of political advisers to ponder on these questions.
If after due deliberation, they still object to the wrongdoings of his critics, then Najib should institute civil suits against them for defamation, instead of allegedly abusing the process of the law and his office as prime minister to harass and persecute his critics.
LAU WENG SAN is DAP assemblyperson for Kampung Tunku.
