An urgent review of Deaths in Malaysia Polis Cutody is required in view of the huge number of deaths in custody esp. among Indians & ethnic minorities.

A few officers are destroying the image of PDRM.

Home Minister must urgently seek & allow such a review as he is responsible for the action of the force.

This issue concern all of us and all deaths in custody should have a public inquiry to determine cause of deaths like in all civilised societies.
