I find it strange that the "renowned" (Malaysiakini's term) lawyer Karpal Singh is asking for interrogation of suspects be conducted only between 8.30am and 5.30pm.
The reason is this: If something major and traumatic has happened, like a missing Canny Ong or Nurin Jazlin Jazimin, do we want the police to stop probing suspects (if there are any) at 5.30pm and begin again at 8.30am?
I bet you the same public would shout 'polis Melayu pemalas' and 'polis tak boleh harap' in a heartbeat.
I also think IGP Musa Hassan was wrong to just dismiss Karpal's push for investigation of suspects should stop at happy hours (after 5.30pm it's happy hours for lawyers, no? Or do they work through the night for important cases??).
Instead of saying all police stations should just close at 5.30pm and all police reports handed to Karpal (kau nak mampos, si pembangkang ni pandai cakap aje, bukan pintar buat kerja), IGP should perhaps give the public some assurances.
After all, in the death of Teoh Beng Hock and others in custody, the public anger is not so much about them being held overnight, but about tactics allegedly used behind closed doors.
The anger - imagine if you will, a relative of yours, a son or your father held overnight by police - is how they are TREATED DURING or AFTER office hours.
There should be the assurances asked and given by all sides.
Not some childish polemics for the sake of gaining imaginary points for your side.
In between interrogations, kasi depa makan nasi lemak dan minum teh tarik pun okay, kot? :-) Nanti depa syiok duduk kat balai, tak mahu pulang.
Itupun jadi isu nanti oleh pembangkang.
'Kenapa polis kasi suspect makan nasi lemak!? Siapa yang bayar!?'
'Kenapa tak kasi makan roti canai dan kopi kosong!?'
Macam-macam.
