Police tackling murder case from all angles

ALL EYES ON 'TUHAN HARUN': No previous record of violence among deviant groups, says Jakim

AUTHORITIES working round the clock to solve the murder of Pahang Islamic Religious Department (Jaip) enforcement head Ahmad Rafli Abdul Malek believe they could be looking at a deviant sect operating on a whole new level.

Senior Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim) enforcement officers, who refused to be named, said in the history of deviant groups in the country, no followers had ever carried weapons or used them to commit crimes.

Although police had not linked the murder to any deviant teachings, they did not rule out the involvement of the outlawed "Tuhan Harun" sect in the case.

Investigators said they could not confirm that "Tuhan Harun" members were not armed. It is not known what ideology the sect, led by Harun Mat Saat, follows.

Religious enforcement officers also revealed that none of the deviant groups they probed in the past were involved in terrorist activities.

In the incident on Sunday, Ahmad Rafli was taking down curtains at his home in Indera Mahkota 2, Kuantan, when a car with three men inside pulled up outside. As he was giving the salam (greeting) to the men, one of whom was wearing a kopiah (skull cap), one of them pulled out a gun and shot him three times. Two shots hit the chest, killing him instantly.

Colleagues said he was a "no-nonsense" enforcement chief who regularly conducted raids on entertainment outlets. He was to said to have led the Jaip team to the eventual smashing of the "Tuhan Harun" sect in the state and the arrest of 31 of its members.

However, there have been no record of the victim receiving any threats.

After a task force meeting on Monday, police put together a photofit of one of the three suspects involved in the case.

Investigators believe it is 70 per cent accurate.

The wanted poster of the suspect depicts a stocky Malay man in his 50s.

State police chief Datuk Sharifuddin Ab Ghani said police had yet to identify the second suspect, believed to have been the shooter, or a third suspect, who was driving the getaway car, a white Proton Wira Aeroback.

He denied claims that the suspects' car had been found in Pekan, but confirmed that the vehicle had been spotted near the victim's house before the incident.

Sharifuddin said police were monitoring information in cyberspace closely and recorded the statements of several individuals.

Several "Tuhan Harun" followers had their statements recorded at the district police station yesterday.

One of them, identified only as Rahim, refuted claims that they were a militant or extremist group as they had never been taught to take revenge, show hatred or use violence.

"I was a follower for over a year and most of our activities involved playing music, singing divine songs and giving love. We would never kill an innocent human being and we were not angered by Jaip's arrest of 31 of the group's members," said the 46-year-old.

Ahmad (not his real name), 30, expressed shock over Rafli's murder and refuted claims that "Tuhan Harun" followers were behind it.

"I'm saddened by the incident and that is the reason I came forward to help in the investigation."

Ahmad said he had left the movement and had never contacted Harun since.

Rahim and Ahmad both said they did not recognise the person in the police photofit.

Sharifuddin said while investigators had urged members of "Tuhan Harun" to surrender, their probe into the case also would cover other angles. He advised those with information to contact investigation officer Assistant Superintendent Zukri Muhammad at 013-9764999, or the nearest police station.

Man walks from Kuantan to Shah Alam stadium

SHAH ALAM: 57-year old Abdul Majid Abdul Hamid from Kuantan, Pahang astonished a whole crowd of 300 Pahang football team supporters yesterday when he finally arrived at Shah Alam stadium in the afternoon, after walking from Kuantan state mosque on Nov 10.

 Abdul Majid took on the 280 kilometer journey when he pledged to walk from Kuantan to Shah Alam if the state football team win the Malaysian Cup on Nov 3, in which his state team, also known as 'Tok Gajah' brought home the cup after a long hiatus of winning.

 He said his journey was not without obstacles as he had to changed his shoes three times and slippers twice when they ripped apart as he walked, as well as fatigue and loss of energy.

 "But I keep holding on because I was really determined to prove to Pahang football team and its fans that I was serious when I made the pledge.

  "Throughout the journey, I was never short of attention and assistance from kind passerbys. Some of them gave me pocket money and water to drink. I was very touched with the support," said Abdul Majid who was accompanied by his friend, 51-year old Abdullah Osman.

  "I want to say thank you to everyone who prayed for my wellbeing throughout the journey. I could never do it without your support.

  "I hope that my journey would further inspire Pahang football team players to continue working hard and win more games, especially when they know that their fans really have their back," he said.

  Abdul Majid was also considered a hero for the Malays when he was crowned a Malay traditional headgear, the'tengkolok' by his supporters at the stadium.

  While Football Association of Pahang deputy president Datuk Akbar Abu who was also present at the stadium said that Abdul Majid's effort had uplifted the team's energy and spirit to continue winning in the future.

  "We were very touched with the sacrifices he made to show his support for the team," he said.

  Pahang football team supporter, Siti Zaleha Abd Manaf, who came to the stadium to receive Abdul Majid with the crowd said that the senior citizen's spirit for the team should be followed by the team's younger fans.

  "I feel really proud when I saw him arriving at the stadium. He did what many younger fans were unable to do and it was really inspiring," she said.

Pengikut 'Tuhan Harun' ditahan

KUANTAN- Sebuah premis di tingkat satu bangunan rumah kedai di Jalan Bukit Ubi di sini dipercayai dijadikan pejabat operasi kumpulan ajaran sesat diketuai seorang lelaki Harun Mat Saat, 46 atau 'Tuhan Harun' yang ditahan penguat kuasa Jabatan Agama Islam Pahang (Jaip) bersama 30 pengikutnya, 5 April lalu.

Kira-kira jam 3.30 petang semalam, kelihatan beberapa pegawai penguat kuasa Jaip menyerbu premis tersebut dan menahan seorang lelaki berusia dalam lingkungan 30-an disyaki anggota kumpulan ajaran sesat itu.

Menurut sumber, hasil serbuan ke atas premis itu, pihak Jaip menemui dan merampas pelbagai bahan bercetak yang boleh dikaitkan dengan ajaran kumpulan terbabit.

“Berdasarkan kandungan bahan bercetak itu, kita percaya isi kandungannya jelas bercanggah dengan ajaran Islam dan dipercayai untuk diedarkan kepada pengikut,” katanya.

Sumber itu juga memaklumkan, selain dijadikan pejabat operasi, premis itu juga digunakan sebagai tempat mencetak risalah berkaitan ajaran Tuhan Harun atau Tuhan 2013 untuk diedarkan kepada ahli.

“Dalam pemeriksaan itu, kelihatan sebuah mesin pencetak yang dipercayai digunakan untuk mencelah risalah turut dirampas,” katanya.

Pegawai Jaip bagaimana pun gagal dihubungi untuk mengesahkan berhubung serbuan dan rampasan tersebut.

Harun yang dipercayai  tersenarai sebagai individu paling dikehendaki Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) kerana terbabit dalam beberapa siri kes penipuan sejak 2010 ditahan ketika menjalani ritual songsang di sebuah premis, Lorong Pandan Damai, di sini, kira-kira jam 6.30 petang 5 April lalu.

Berdasarkan laporan akhbar sebelum ini, lelaki itu sudah merekrut lebih 100 pengikut terdiri daripada pelbagai lapisan umur dan latar belakang termasuk doktor dan ahli perniagaan.

Kumpulan terbabit dikatakan mengamalkan ajaran sesat dengan melakukan ritual bermain muzik secara ‘live band’ setiap kali pertemuan diadakan pada waktu senja.

Pada 9 April lalu, Harun dihadapkan ke Mahkamah Majistret Kuantan atas tuduhan menipu kontraktor membabitkan pembelian saham di sebuah pusat komersial di Sungai Buluh, Selangor membabitkan kerugian RM200,000.

Dia mengaku tidak bersalah dan dibebaskan dengan jaminan RM7,000 bagaimana pun tidak dapat dipastikan sama ada Harun menjelaskan jaminan tersebut atau berada dalam tahanan reman di Penjara Penor.

Kumpulan yang menggelarkan diri mereka sebagai 'Tuhan Harun' pernah ditahan oleh Jabatan Agama Islam Pahang kerana terlibat dengan ajaran sesat dan tudahan melakukan penipuan.

Kini, ahli kumpulan ajaran sesat yang diketuai oleh Harun Mat Saad, 47 dipercayai terlibat dalam kes pembunuhan Ketua Pengarah Bahagian Penguatkuasaan Jaip Ahmad Rafli Abdul Malek dihadapan rumahnya pada Ahad.

Polis percaya kumpulan berkenaan mempunyai kaitan dengan kes pembunuhan tersebut menggesa 31 pengikut kumpulan berkenaan menyerah diri.

Ketua Polis Negara, Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar menggesa mereka segera menyerah diri kepada pihak berkuasa.

"Saya menasihatkan agar mereka menyerah diri kerana jika tidak kita akan memburu mereka. Kita mahu menyoal siaasat mereka berhubung kes pembunuhan," katanya pada Ahmad Rafli, 49, ditembak mati di bahagian kepala di hadapan rumahnya di Mahkota 2 , Kuantan selepas seorang lelaki yang memakai jubah hitam dan berkopiah memberi bertemu dengannya.

Ketika dia sedang membuka pintu dan berjalan ke arah pintu pagar seorang lagi lelaki yang berpakaian sama melepaskan tiga das tembakan ke arah mangsa.

Dua das tembakan terkena bahagian dada Ahmad Rafli menyebabkan mangsa mati di tempat kejadian, sementara satu lagi tembakan tersasar dan mengenai saluran paip rumahnya.

Khalid berkata mereka sedang menyiasat sama ada pembunuhan tersebut mempunyai kaitan dengan tugas Ahmad Rafli sebagai ketua penguatkuasa, termasuk penyebaran ajaran Syiah serta kumpulan ajaran sesat Tuhan Harun.

"Kami tidak mengetepikan sebarang kemungkinan. Kami meyeru semua jabatan termasuk Jabatan Menjejaki Pengganas Bukit Aman membantu siasatan. Kami telah menubuhkan satu pasukan petugas untuk mengesan mereka yang bertanggungjawab," katanya.

Di satu lagi majlis di Pulau Pinang, Khalid berkata tiada bukti yang menunjukkan pengikut Syiah terlibat dalam kes tembakan berkenaan, beliau menegaskan polis percaya kumpulan ajaran sesat Tuhan Harun dipercayai terlibat dalam kes tembakan tersebut.

"Kami menyedari terdapat aktviti Syiah di sesetengah sekolah dan apa yang kami risaukan adalah pengikut kumpulan ini akan menjadi pelampau dan akhirnya menyertai kumpulan militan," katanya.

Bullet narrowly misses Kuantan woman in car

KUANTAN: THE decision by a 35-year-old divorcee to stop her car to make a call yesterday morning almost cost  her life.

However, Ruzelawati Basri, who was shot by an unknown assailant while seated inside her multi-purpose-vehicle, escaped with minor injuries in the 4am incident.

She received outpatient treatment at Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital here.

Ruzelawati, who runs an optical shop here, was fortunate that the bullet did not hit her and instead pierced the driver's side window. She suffered cuts on her right eye from the glass fragments.

The incident unfolded when the mother of four, who had just filled petrol, stopped in front of a restaurant in Jalan Haji Ahmad, about 50m from the petrol kiosk, to call her former husband, who is in Putrajaya.

District police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Jasmani Yusoff said Ruzelawati was shocked when she saw a man, who had pulled up in a blue car, pointing a pistol at the driver's side windscreen.

"The man knocked on the window and told her to open the door. Fearing for her safety, the victim tried to speed off when she heard the sound of glass shattering.

"She panicked and drove for about 200m before stopping in front of a 24-hour restaurant."

Ruzelawati remained in the vehicle for more than an hour before seeking help from people in the restaurant.

It is learnt that a restaurant worker and several customers helped Ruzelawati. who lives in Lorong Sekilau here, to alert the police before sending her to hospital.

Jasmani said police would record a statement from her ex-husband, whom she divorced several months ago, as well as her workers.

"It could be a car-jacking attempt but we have not ruled out business rivalry and robbery. We will obtain the closed-circuit television camera footage from the petrol station.

"Besides the driver's side window, the bullet had also hit the vehicle's front passenger door panel," he said, adding that the incident was the first in the state capital here this year.

On July 25, a lorry driver from the Temerloh Area Farmers Organisation was injured in the arm when he was shot at a traffic-light junction near Felda Jenderak in Kuala Krau, Temerloh. The victim's lorry was earlier involved in an accident with another vehicle.

It was learnt that the car driver had trailed the lorry before firing two shots at the victim.
