Custodial deaths – the rot must end | The Malaysian Insight

THREE custodial deaths among Malaysians in the last 40 days in our prisons, all ethnic Indians. Much chatter has been generated from this recent spate of deaths, including from prominent persons, organisations and civil society groups and of course the public.
Lawmakers such as Lim Kit Siang and Kasthuri Patto, the Malaysian Bar and the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission – the right and proper authority to investigate and report – which has said it would, and a number of civil societies have all weighed in on this.
Then we have the Human Rights Commission (Suhakam) established by Parliament in 2000. Whether Suhakam is a toothless tiger in these matters is anybody’s guess, as there was a news report dated January 22 about a lawyer for a custodial death victim who claimed Suhakam has no legal power to probe custodial deaths.
