38 weeks. Hmmm..If MIC leader fate also like this….normal people no need to say la. Curious enough, the family held press conference in presence of DAP’s Karpal Singh! Makes us think deeply.

The family of former Johor state executive councillor Datuk S. Krishnasamy has pleaded for an in-depth investigation into his murder.

Krishnasamy’s son Raj Kumar, 33, said it had been 38 weeks since his father was murdered, but the case had yet to be solved although police had detained several suspects.

“I wish to know the number of suspects who have been arrested and why after nine months, the police have not been able to solve the murder case.

“What’s going on? There must be something. They (police) cannot keep on telling us that the investigation is still on, but until now it’s still back to square one,” he told a press conference together with four other family members, here today.

He said since their father’s death, several suspects, including some from the MIC had been arrested, but released on police bail and  presumably were still on police bail.

“Until now, no one has been charged. We have been seeing a lot of people and in these 38 weeks I have written e-mails to several
ministers. However, only (Datuk) Shahrir Abdul Samad (Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister) has replied.“He responded through e-mail that he would try to follow up the matter with the Johor chief police officer, Datuk Mukhtar Mohd Shariff,” Raj Kumar added at the press conference with MP for Bukit Gelugor, Karpal Singh, also present.Meanwhile, Krishnasamy’s daughter Rani, 34, appealed to the public for help to solve the murder case as nine months “is a very long time”.

“I plead to the PM (Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi) to please look into my father’s case,” she said.

Police have detained and questioned 13 people, one of them a woman, in connection with the murder. Eleven of them have been released on police bond.

Death threat for MIC man

source

By NELSON BENJAMIN

JOHOR BARU: Just hours after the slaying of Tenggaroh assemblyman Datuk S. Krishnasamy on Friday, a senior national MIC leader received a call saying he was next on the hit list. The leader has lodged a police report on the threat. It is learnt that the caller, who spoke in Tamil, just uttered a few words before hanging up. Police have started investigations into the case. When contacted, the leader declined to comment. 

Kuala Lumpur CID chief Senior Asst Comm (II) Ku Chin Wah only confirmed that police were investigating a report but declined to elaborate on the content or investigations. It is learnt that police were not taking any threats made against politicians lightly, especially in the wake of Krishnasamy's murder. 

It is also learnt that threats have been made against several senior MIC leaders. They have, however, not made police reports, dismissing this as an “occupational hazard”. 

A source said the threats began after the private handphone numbers of the leaders were circulated via SMS.  

On Saturday, MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said Krishnasamy had told him two weeks ago that he had received that death threats. He reminded all MIC assemblymen and MPs to be extra cautious and also ordered for security to be beefed up at all MIC buildings.

TANGKAK: The late Tenggaroh assemblyman Datuk S. Krishnasamy’s remains were cremated at the Kwang Ee Crematorium near here at about 5.40pm yesterday. 

MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu and other state as well as national MIC leaders attended the cremation. The moment Krishnasamy’s body arrived at the crematorium, it started raining heavily until after the cremation. An MIC member from Segamat said the rain were the “tears of God who cried over the death of a very kind man”. 

While temple priests were reciting prayers, Samy Vellu was seen wiping tears from his eyes. 

Segamat MIC division chief A. Nadarajah said Krishnasamy was a good leader and had no known enemies, including within the party. He said he had known the assemblyman for many years and knew how caring he was, adding that the Indian community in Labis had lost a very helpful leader. Labis MIC Youth chief A Sivarajah said MIC had lost a considerate leader who always thought about the people, especially the Indians in Johor.  

In SEGAMAT, the crowd came with wreaths and penned condolence messages in a book placed outside the late assemblyman’s house. Family members and relatives wept as the cortege left the house at 3.30pm.  

Earlier in the morning, Krishnasamy’s second child Rajkumar, 33, thanked everyone for their support and said that his father had worked tirelessly to ensure no community was left out in the government’s development programmes.  The family also asked the press not to speculate and allow the police to investigate the killing.
