Kugan’s death classified as murder
By SHARON LING
PUTRAJAYA: Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail said he has classified the death of suspected car thief Kugan, who died while in police custody, as murder.
Earlier in KUCHING, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said a full investigation will be carried out into the death.

He said although the post-mortem report found that Kugan had died due to fluid in his lungs, police would conduct an in-depth investigation to find out what had transpired.
”We will not cover up anything,” he told reporters after chairing the first tripartite meeting between the chiefs of the Royal Malaysian Police, Royal Brunei Police Force and Indonesia National Police here on Friday.

The 22-year-old Kugan died in police custody on Tuesday while being questioned in relation to several luxury car thefts.

Musa also said Kugan’s family members should not have gone into the Serdang Hospital mortuary to view the body as it could be considered tampering with evidence.

”This should not have happened and we will also investigate it as a report has been lodged,” he said.

seals: Who else can be charged, if found that the cause of death was not because of “liquid in his lungs”?

Mr IGP, if the family members would have not barged in and take photos as evidence, this case would have been like the many other custodial deaths that went unknown.

Another 'move' by police that will only sabotage BN prospects in the people's heart. But what BN government can do is to ensure, through due process, that those responsible for the detainee's death will also be send to the gallows to meet the Detainee in the afterlife.

Story of Saint Patinatar

Taken from : http://www.hinduwomen.org/dynamic/modules.php?name=hncontent&pa=showpage&pid=306&page=1 Dedicated to some of my blog readers, with blessing of THE ABSOLUTE and Patinatar. The legend connected with the birth of Pattinathar is as follows : -- The boy was very pious and intelligent, and evinced great interest in learning the Vedas and Sastras. When he was five years old, his father Sivanesar passed away. It was time for Tiruvengadar (Pattinathar) to approach a guru and to be initiated into the worship of Lord Siva. He was very anxious to get a worthy guru. One day Lord Siva appeared in his dream as a Brahmin and asked him to go over to Tiruvengadu the next day (Monday - Tiruvona Star) where a guru would teach him all he wanted to learn. Accordingly, Tiruvengadar went to Tiruvengadu the next day with very great joy and met the same Brahmin who appeared to him in his dream. Immediately Tiruvengadar fell at his feet, and stood before him with his head bowed down. The
