KUALA LUMPUR, July 30 — Tan Sri Musa Hassan denied any knowledge today of the internal police memo that allegedly confirms police ties with drug syndicates, saying MyWatch chairman R. Sri Sanjeevan had been working on the expose on his own.
Musa (picture), who is MyWatch’s patron, said Sanjeevan had neither shown him the memo that purportedly lists police officers under probe for links to the drug world, nor communicated his plans to him.
“I’ve never seen the memo,” former Inspector-General of Police Musa told The Malay Mail Online.
“He’s on his own. He didn’t tell me anything,” he added, referring to Sanjeevan.
When asked if the shooting was linked to Sanjeevan’s work on exposing rogue policemen linked to crime syndicates, Musa said that he had already said what he wanted to say on microblogging site Twitter.
The former police chief would not elaborate when pressed further and only said: “I’ve put all in my Twitter. I’ve got nothing else to say.”
Musa had tweeted through his @TSMusaHassan account last Saturday, saying: “I hope the police will do a thorough investigation to trace suspects as he had received several threats on his revelation on police involvement with activities of syndicated crimes and illegal activities.”
At a press conference yesterday, PKR strategy director Rafizi Ramli said Sanjeevan had met him last Friday night and told him about the internal police memo on cops being investigated for their involvement with drug syndicates.
The memo, according to Rafizi, was to be exposed this week.
According to Rafizi, the 29-year-old said that the amount of drugs involved were in the kilogrammes. But Rafizi said Sanjeevan did not give him a copy of the memo, nor did he specify the number or ranks of police officers who were under internal investigation.
Hours before Sanjeevan was shot, he tweeted through his @SanjeevanSS account that “a @PDRMsia cop told some syndicate fellow that he’ll get them firearm & told them to fire few shots at my house to scare me/family!”
He had also tweeted last Thursday, saying, “Seriously thinking to expose on a top leader of @PDRMsia where his son is under payroll of kingpins and some syndicates. Interesting piece!”, referring to the Twitter account of the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM).
Sanjeevan was shot last Saturday by a man riding pillion on a motorcycle.
The man reportedly pulled up beside Sanjeevan’s silver BMW when he wound down his window to smoke a cigarette while at a junction near Taman Awana Indah in Jempol, Negri Sembilan, at about 4.30pm.
The 29-year-old managed to drive off despite being badly injured, leaving his assailants behind, but stopped some 300 metres from the scene where his friend Ramesh Balakrishnan, 35, who was in the car with him, took over the wheel to take him to Jempol Hospital.
Sanjeevan is currently in the Serdang Hospital undergoing treatment to remove the bullet.
As of yesterday, media reports said Sanjeevan’s condition has been deteriorating due to the bullet wounds that have affected his lungs and heart.
But Sanjeevan’s father, P. Ramakrishnan, said in a statement late last night that though his son was still in critical condition, the young man was more stable than before
