COMMENT | It is fair and reasonable for lawyer N Surendran to question the police’s action and the Attorney-General’s Chambers’ (AGC) perceived lack of action in the case of a police officer caught on camera assaulting a deaf e-hailing driver.

It has been reported that the alleged officer is being probed under Section 323 of the Penal Code for causing voluntary hurt.

Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain told the media that police had first submitted an investigation paper (IP) to the AGC in June but the same was sent back to the police for further probes.

We know that in May, driver Ong Ing Keong lodged a report alleging that a police personnel escorting Johor Regent Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim had assaulted him outside a hotel in Kuala Lumpur.
