When P. Uthayakumar had called the Batu Gajah Prison, we were informed that the Director was not around and so we spoke to the deputy En. Ramli bin Ahmad.

But En. Ramli bin Ahmad left the office by 4.00 p.m to attend some “function”. And there was no officer to attend to our written request for a mere suspected drug addict to attend his brother’s funeral tomorrow as every other Prison Officer had also left for the “function”.

We then called the Director General of Prisons HQ at Kajang and then his Deputy TKP Wan Rahman bin Abdullah and both “were not in”. And every other officer were attending to a “taklimat” since 3.00 p.m!

Call to the Home Minister’s Office and the Setiausaha Sulit kanan’s Office at 4.30p.m went unanswered.

So what happens in an emergency?
