Police to tap retired officers' experience for special ops guidebook
KUALA LUMPUR: Federal police are planning to produce a book which documents its special operations to serve as a guide for young officers and personnel.
Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay said the book, which would contain information of its special operations, could help junior officers avoid repeating past mistakes.
"To realise this initiative, we will gather information and insights from members of the Retired Senior Police Officers Association (Respa), who had previously been involved in these special operations.
"In the Special Branch (SB), we already have books documenting the operations conducted.
"For departments like the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), I believe many operations should also be documented to serve as guidance for new officers and personnel.
"This is because veteran officers hold a wealth of experience and knowledge. There may be similar operations in the future where the same mistakes could be repeated by new officers," he told reporters after attending the Respa AGM at the Police College today.
He said the effort would take time as it requires gathering experiences and detailed accounts from veteran officers.
"This initiative should also be undertaken by other departments such as the Internal Security and Public Order Department and the Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (NCID).
"Personally, many retired senior officers still send me messages from time to time regarding sensitive legal issues and others I often use their input as a guide," he said.
Meanwhile, in his speech, Ayob urged Respa members to update their personal information in the PDRM e-Pensioner system, particularly their current address, health status, and emergency contact details.
"This is to ensure smooth communication regarding benefits and rewards provided by the government.
"I pray that Respa will continue to succeed in its noble mission of safeguarding the welfare and interests of its members. All the contributions and sacrifices made will always be appreciated," he said.

Yusoff vows to continue fight for justice after acquittal
KUALA LUMPUR: Muhammed Yusoff Rawther has vowed to continue seeking justice after being acquitted and discharged of drug trafficking and firearm possession charges. The 32-year-old, a former political research assistant, maintained that he had been wrongfully accused and framed, describing his ordeal as a "relentless test" of faith and resilience. "This acquittal is a victory for all Malaysians. "I would also like to thank the prison officers for their professionalism in ensuring my safety and welfare while I was in prison," he said during a packed press conference at the court complex lobby here today. Yusoff said his time in Sungai Buloh Prison while awaiting trial had left a deep impact on him. "This experience meant a lot to me, especially as someone who has never committed any crime. I am thankful to Allah for this outcome." Meanwhile, Yusoff's lawyer, Muhammad Rafique Rashid Ali, called on the police to provide updates on his client's report claiming he had been implicated. "He lodged the report after he was brought to court in September last year. "I would like to ask the Inspector-General of Police about the status of the investigation... have they recorded any statement?" he asked. Earlier, High Court judge Datuk Muhammad Jamil Hussin freed Yusoff from drug trafficking and possession of imitation firearms charges after ruling that the prosecution had failed to establish a prima facie case. In his judgment, Jamil said the police's failure to investigate Yusoff's conspiracy claim had prejudiced his right to a fair trial, as it denied him the opportunity to have his defence properly considered and verified. "In a statement made two days after his arrest, the accused claimed that he was a victim who had been framed by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. "The police had ample time to verify the truth of the facts presented in the accused's version. "However, both investigation officers failed to conduct any investigation to verify the accused's version of events. "This failure has prejudiced the accused's right to a fair trial," the court ruled. The judge also said the evidence produced in court failed to support a reasonable conclusion that the accused had exclusive control over the vehicle or custody and control of the pistols and drugs. He said the evidence only raised suspicion and was insufficient to prove the accused's possession or control of the items. Yusoff had been accused of trafficking 305g of cannabis in a vehicle parked in front of a surau at the Kuala Lumpur police contingent headquarters at 10.15am on Sept 6 last year. He also faced a separate charge of possessing two imitation pistols by the roadside near a condominium on Jalan Bukit Kiara at 9.25am on the same day.

Melaka student allegedly kills mother, brother in suspected revenge attack over exam pressure
MELAKA, June 12 — A 17-year-old Form Five student has been arrested as the prime suspect in the double murder of his mother and elder brother at their home in Taman Rambai Mutiara, Bukit Rambai early this morning. The Star Online reported the Melaka police chief Datuk Dzulkhairi Mukhtar as saying, the teenager allegedly stabbed his 51-year-old mother multiple times while she was asleep in her bedroom around 5am. The suspect's 21-year-old brother, who attempted to intervene, was also fatally attacked. 'Both victims died at the scene from their injuries,' Dzulkhairi reportedly told reporters at the Melaka police headquarters in Bukit Beruang today. The suspect also allegedly assaulted his 13-year-old brother, who remains in critical condition in the intensive care unit at Melaka Hospital. Preliminary investigations revealed the teenager was unhappy with his mother — a teacher at a vernacular primary school — over constant pressure to excel in his studies and score high marks in examinations. 'He was reportedly told to study late into the night and was often reprimanded by his mother,' Dzulkhairi said, adding that neighbours had heard frequent arguments between the suspect and his family. Police believe the suspect used a 20cm penknife in the attack, which they later found in his school bag. When officers arrived, the teen was seen sitting calmly on the porch of the house. Initially, he claimed the murders were the result of a robbery. However, police said CCTV footage and his eventual confession led to his arrest. Investigations also revealed the suspect had planned the attack, having purchased the knife several days earlier. 'We consider the case solved, with revenge as the likely motive,' Dzulkhairi said.
