THREE custodial deaths among Malaysians in the last 40 days in our prisons, all ethnic Indians. Much chatter has been generated from this recent spate of deaths, including from prominent persons, organisations and civil society groups and of course the public.
Lawmakers such as Lim Kit Siang and Kasthuri Patto, the Malaysian Bar and the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission – the right and proper authority to investigate and report – which has said it would, and a number of civil societies have all weighed in on this.
Then we have the Human Rights Commission (Suhakam) established by Parliament in 2000. Whether Suhakam is a toothless tiger in these matters is anybody’s guess, as there was a news report dated January 22 about a lawyer for a custodial death victim who claimed Suhakam has no legal power to probe custodial deaths.

PETALING JAYA, April 14 When Melani Hansika migrated from Sri Lanka to Malaysia seven years ago, she felt very down and alone, especially on her first Sinhalese New Year here a special day where other Malaysian Indian communities would usher in their New Year with immediate family members.
Hansika even wondered whether she would be able to grow accustomed to a watered-down celebration here without the usual community and rituals as compared to in her hometown of Colombo.
