I’m baffled, says woman
> Cops’ claim that it was a misunderstanding makes no sense: Alleged victim
KUALA LUMPUR: Entrepreneur Kogee Sinniah who alleged she was denied protection at a police station on Monday said yesterday that she was baffled by comments made by police that the whole episode was a misunderstanding.
Kogee, 41, said she had spoken clearly to the sentry at the Alam Damai police station and told him she felt threatened when a car with three youths trailed and harassed her.
She said she was puzzled by a police comment in a news report citing that a misunderstanding had caused the issue.
“I had spoken to the personnel in a mixture of Bahasa Malaysia and English and it was clear I was in distress. I do not understand how there could have been a miscommunication,” she told theSun.
Kogee said she lodged a police report on Tuesday and an investigations officer went over to her house to have her statement recorded.
She lauded the investigation team for its efficiency, describing its members as being “wonderful”.
Kogee said she had forgiven the three youths for what they allegedly did but will allow the law to take its course.
“These are three young boys who were probably unaware that what they did was wrong. I hope this will open our eyes as a nation to educate people that road bullying is wrong and they should not resort to such acts.”
Kogee also said that police should enlighten the public on what they should do in the event such an incident were to occur.
“It is only natural that we turn to the police when we are faced with danger or feel our life is under threat. The focus of the police should be to protect the public.”
On Monday, Kogee was driving in Alam Damai with her 13-year-old son when three youths in another car allegedly trailed and harassed her after she was said to have swerved her car into their path.
She drove to the Alam Damai police station to seek help but was disallowed entry by a police personnel.
She was eventually allowed in after calling 999.
