Two cases (Sungai Buloh and Kajang Prison) have been completed, whereas four are still under investigation. The detainee who died in Sungai Buloh Prison was pronounced dead at the Sungai Buloh Hospital on 2 July. He was in prison since 2019, awaiting trial in the High Court. Our investigation confirmed that the detainee died of a heart attack. This was based on the testimonies of the pathologist who performed the autopsy and the doctor who treated the detainee while he was in prison. SUHAKAM was satisfied there was no element of violence or any other factors that could have contributed to the detainee’s death. SUHAKAM then made several recommendations to improve medical treatment for detainees in Sungai Buloh Prison: i. More medical personnel need to be stationed in Sungai Buloh Prison. The number should be adequate for the prisoners being held; ii. Prisoners’ medical records and treatment they have received should be updated and shared with the family gradually. This is to refute accusations or counter the negative perception of the family members that the prison administration does not provide medical aid to prisoners; and iii. To address the overcrowding in Sungai Buloh Prison. 40 ANNUAL REPORT 2020
