KPN Khalid Abu Bakar ajak YB.Surendran pi ops.menembak penjenayah...

Ketua Polis Negara, Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar telah mempelawa Ahli Parlimen PKR, N Surendran untuk menyertai operasi polis berdepan dengan penjenayah.

Khalid membuat pelawaan tersebut melalui Twitter malam tadi.

Menurutnya, MP Padang Serai itu akan disediakan dengan perlindungan yang mencukupi dalam bentuk perisai badan sekiranya beliau menerima pelawaan tersebut.

Ketika dihubungi,  Surendran yang juga naib presiden PKR memberitahu Malaysiakini bahawa beliau tidak pasti sama ada ketua polis negara itu serius dalam membuat pelawaan tersebut.

Bagaimanapun, Surendran (kanan) berkata beliau tidak ragu-ragu untuk menerima pelawan tersebut.

"Jika beliau serius, maka saya bersedia untuk menerimanya," katanya sambil menambah bahawa beliau bersedia berdepan dengan risiko sepertimana yang dihadapi oleh anggota polis.

"Saya bersedia untuk melakukan ini demi kepentingan mewujudkan sistem keadilan jenayah yang lebih baik," katanya.

Surendran, seorang peguam yang menjadi ahli politik, lantang mengkritik pihak polis berkaitan dengan penggunaan kekerasan yang berlebihan.

Sementara itu, ketika ditanya sama ada beliau serius membuat pelawaan tersebut, Khalid memberitahu Malaysiakini: "Ya... kenapa tidak? Jika beliau (Surendran) mahu."

Dengan itu, tambah Khalid, Surendran boleh melihat sendiri apa yang anggotanya perlu berdepan dan risiko yang mereka hadapi untuk memastikan negara ini selamat.

Bagaimanapun, tawaran itu bergantung kepada kesediaan Surendran menandatangani perjanjian indemniti jika berlaku sebarang perkara yang tidak diingini.-malaysiakini

IGP invites Surendran to a 'shootout'...

Admist mounting criticism, inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar has invited PKR parliamentarian N Surendran to experience first hand a shootout with criminals.

Calling it a "skin feeling", the police chief made the offer in a Twitter posting last night.

Khalid also said the Padang Serai MP would be provided with adequate protection in the form of body armour should he decide to accept the invitation.

When contacted, the PKR vice-president told Malaysiakini that he was not certain if the IGP was serious.

However, Surendran (right) said he had no qualms accepting the invitation.

"If he is serious, then I am prepared to accept it. I am willing to put myself in the line of fire with the policemen who subject themselves to similar risks.

"I am willing to do this in the interest of creating a better criminal justice system," he added.

Surendran, a lawyer turned politician, has been a vocal critic of the police with regard to the excessive use of force.

"If Khalid is serious, then I am prepared to accept the offer. I am willing to put myself in the line of fire with the policemen who are subject to similar risks,"

Indemnity agreement

Meanwhile, when quizzed on whether he was serious about the offer, Khalid told Malaysiakini:

"Yes... why not? If he (Surendran) wants to. He can see what my men have to face and the risks they take to keep this country safe."

However, the offer is contingent on Surendran signing an indemnity agreement in case of any "mishap".

"I have directed that YB be inserted in the coming ops involving armed criminals," he tweeted later.

"YB, please contact the director (of) CID (Criminal Investigation Department), whenever you're ready for sizing your body armour and signing the indemnity documents."

The latest exchange stemmed from Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's controversial "shoot first" remark when encountering with suspected hardcore criminals.

The minister had since denied that he called for extrajudicial killings while Khalid also dismissed the allegation that the police were trigger-happy.

Ten suspected robbers have been gunned down by the police over the past three days.-malaysiakini
