People would probably still remember the naked squatter case in Malaysia eh ? ...
looks like there are more unpublicized scandals here, courtesy of the BBC ...
extract:'Screams'
Hamzan Ali Abdullah was another Burmese Muslim working at the market. I asked him whether he had seen the authorities arrive.
"Yes we did see them and we had to run and hide very, very quickly," he said.
He ran out the back of the market, through a nearby street and across the road to a lake - a flooded open cast mining pit - about five minutes away at a jog. There he says he hid in the undergrowth and the dark. And through the blackness he heard screams.
"We heard they were crying in their own languages, and some in Burmese crying 'help help'."
He could not see the Rela officers in the darkness so I asked whether he had heard them speaking Malay.
"Yes, there were, there were," he said. "The police were shouting: 'Come out come out, if you run away we will kill you'.
"Those caught in their hands were beaten by two or three policemen. They treated them like cattle. Their voices were very haughty and arrogant. Their voices were like soldiers and policemen." The first of the bodies was found later that day.
Malaysia's Interior Ministry has said that police have confirmed the discovery of two bodies.
But according to several local witnesses, five bodies were dragged from the lake over the days that followed.
