Why is the police taking so long to investigate such a straight forward case? - 1Christians
JOHOR BARU, May 28 — National boxer Muhamad Farkhan Mohd Haron, who
was beaten up by a group of men during a brawl on May 6, has to forego
his dream of competing in the 2012 London Olympics in July due to the
injuries he suffered.
Muhamad Farkhan, 24, winner of the middleweight gold in the Laos SEA
Games in 2009, was given a “wild card” to compete in London but since
his injuries would take about six months to heal, he would be able to
see action.
The boxer said he suffered injuries to his cheekbone and ribs.
“I need at least six months to recover and that is a big loss for me
because I cannot go to London,” he told reporters here today.
Muhamad Farkhan hoped police would wrap up investigations so that legal action could be taken against those who attacked him.
“Though it involves a VIP, I hope police will not hesitate to carry out investigations because I want justice,” he said.
He said the VIP suspect, who goes by the title of Tengku, had phoned
him while he was watching the English FA Cup final between Chelsea and
Liverpool, urging him to come to his (Tengku) house.
Muhamad Farkhan said when he arrived at the Tengku’s house, he was
bashed up by a group of six men and a woman for three to four hours with
sticks, iron rods and even slashed with a Samurai sword.
“They warned me that if I reported the matter, I and my family will
be harmed. However, I have lodged a police report. My parents have also
lodged a police report. My family are still traumatised,” said the boxer
who was discharged from hospital two weeks ago.
He denied rumours that the VIP (Tengku) belongs to the Johor royal
family, saying that even the Tunku Mahkota of Johor, Tunku Ismail
Ibrahim, had visited him in hospital. — Bernama
