______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

We act for the family of Mr. Raman a/l Arumugam (the accused) NRIC No 740529-10-5915 of No.8, Jalan Hang Leker, Rumah Murah Padang Golf, 44000 Kuala Kubu Bharu, Selangor.

Our clients inform us that on 22/3/2012 at about 10.30p.m about seven (7) civil clothes policemen appeared at the aforesaid address and started shouting at our client’s family. Our clients fearing that they could be robbers were slow in opening their front door. Before they knew it, the policemen suddenly started breaking down the front and back grill and doors also using a changkul etc.

Our clients were terrified. The seven (7) policemen include Manimaran, Maniam Selvam, Guna, another Indian and two other Malay policemen then stormed into our client’s house, took out their guns and said that if Raman was to run away he would be shot dead. They were also shouting away rudely. Raman’s 62 year old mother Madam Letchumy fearing that the police may shoot her son stood in front of him to prevent him being shot dead.

The policemen then slapped Raman a/l Arumugam in the presence of his mother Madam Letchmy, his sister Thanaletchumy and other family members. They then arrested Raman a/l Arumugam, handcuffed and detained him for attempted murder of a policeman when if at all Raman a/l Arumugam is suspected to have been involved in a road traffic accident by gazing a motorcycle. Just because it involved a civil clothes policeman, Raman is now victimized to this extent. Immediately after the accident the policeman took out a gun and charged at Raman a/l Arumugam. Fearing for his life Raman a/l Arumugam had sped off.

The family has been in the dark. We have today been informed by En. Amir of the Selayang Sessions Court that after a 14 days Remand, on 4/4/12 our client was prosecuted for attempted murder of a policeman further to Section 307 of the Penal Code. And on the same day he was sent to the Tanjung Rambutan Mental Hospital. On 22/4/12 he was brought back to the Selayang Sessions Court and then ordered to be jailed at the Sg Buloh Prison. And that this case is now fixed for Mention on 4/5/2012.

In the interim our client Madam Letchumy a/l Gopal had vide two police reports No Kuala Kubu Baru 000586/12 and 000587/12 lodged official police reports on the aforesaid matter.

Because of the shock, Raman’s mother had fallen ill for two weeks and had also suffered chest pains.

Kindly take the necessary action and notify us accordingly.

Kindly also serve on us all the documents in respect of this matter.

This culture of prosecuting a citizen who had collided into a policeman in a road traffic accident can by no stretch of imagination be attempted murder. Lest it be unheard of in any other country.

O ur client has already been punished by being reduced to a mental patient by reason of the 1 Malay-sia state sponsored racist policies. Having degenerated into a poor man, our client does not have the money to pay a lawyer or for his bail.

With no other alternative Raman will now be forced to plead guilty and serve time for ATTEMPTED MURDER!

The whole weight and might of the entire government machinery in particular the Judiciary, Attorney General’s Chambers and police against this one suspected Road Traffic offender being bullied.

Isn’t this a case of hitting a fly with a sledge hammer?

Up to date Raman has already served about 1 ½ months jail. And the much touted government legal aid never saw the light of the day for Raman and thousands of innocent victims like Raman. This surely cannot the law, due administration of law and order, what more Justice of this country.

We hereby ask that your goodselves forthwith withdraw the criminal prosecution against our client. At worst our client should have been prosecuted for negligent driving.

Thank you,

Yours faithfully,

………………………….

P. Uthayakumar
