14 Feb 2021 / 20:08 H. KLUANG: Johor Police chief Datuk Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay ( pix) was confident that the police have adhered to the standard operating procedures (SOPs) during the recent shootout in Batu Pahat which killed four suspected armed robbers. He said the suspects had fired a few shots and attacked the police first before the police fired back at them out of self-defence. “I hope any quarters including non-governmental organisation (NGO) would listen and take a look at my official statement before making any statements,” he told reporters at the Kluang District Police Headquarters (IPD) here, today. He was commenting on a statement made by an NGO known as Eliminating Deaths & Abuse in Custody Together (EDICT) which questioned whether the police adhered to the SOPs during the incident.
