Horror of all horrors! Ghost stories also not so scary lah. Since horror stories are hard to come by, I am classifying this case as such. Some providence intervention is really, really needed.

Cop vs cops in Gemas station
By SARBAN SINGH Friday July 11, 2008

GEMAS: A policeman has lodged a report against all his colleagues including his superiors allegedly over dissatisfaction on how the monthly bribes from those operating illegal activities was being distributed.

In retaliation, one of his superiors, a sergeant, lodged another police report against the policeman, a lance corporal, for allegedly selling station property to scrap dealers.

A source said the lance corporal, in his 40s, was dissatisfied with his superiors for allegedly taking the lion’s share of the bribes while the rank and file received very little.

“In fact, the complainant claimed that he did not get a sen,” the source said.

The report was lodged earlier this week.

The sergeant, in an apparent tit-for-tat, lodged another report against the lance corporal alleging that he had sold some old wooden and iron furniture from the police station to a dealer.

“His colleagues even know where the dealer is operating from,” the source said.

State police chief Datuk Osman Salleh confirmed that a report has been lodged.

“We are investigating the claims made by the lance corporal. We do not want to make conclusions straightaway as the allegations are serious,” he said.

He said all the policemen were still on duty and have not been asked to go on leave.

He said action would be taken against his men if the claims were true.

It is understood that the Anti-Corruption Agency has also started a probe.

Cop tells on colleagues over illegal payments

SEREMBAN: A policeman lodged a report against his colleagues at the Gemas district police station on Tuesday claiming that they had received monthly payments for their alleged involvement in illegal activities.

The policeman, a lance corporal, stated in his report that two of his higher ranked colleagues were getting “payments” from which they took major portions and gave others a share.

One of the accused policemen lodged another report against the lance corporal in which he alleged that himself (the lance corporal) was engaged in illegal dealings.

Acting Tampin district police chief, Deputy Superintendent Mohd Isa Ujang confirmed that a report had been lodged but refused to reveal how much money was allegedly being received by the policemen named in the first report.

He said the policemen were still on duty and no action would be taken until investigations were completed.
“We do not want to reveal details as the matter was being investigated,” he said.

State Anti-Corruption Agency director, Roszaini Abu said they did not receive any report on the matter.
