The telephone call logs on the morning of 12.5.2018 of Sgt Shamzaini,
before he met Norhaya�, showed that he had contacted Aizat, a
member of Perlis Hope before he had even spoken to Pharid. This shows
that even before he met Norhaya�, Sgt Shamzaini knew that she was
somehow connected with Perlis Hope and that was the reason he had
contacted Aizat before speaking to Pharid. Sgt Shamzaini wanted Aizat
to pass him Norhaya�'s number.
148.4.
When he could not get Norhaya�'s number from Pharid, he tried calling
both Pharid and Aizat again that night. It was only a�er he had failed to
get Norhaya�’s telephone number, that he knocked on the door of her
house a�er 10:00 p.m. that evening.
148.5.
This also contradicts Sgt Shamzaini’s evidence that he went to Pharid
Auto to have his car �nted. This was clearly an excuse to speak to Pharid
and to get Norhaya�'s telephone number. If he had genuinely wanted
to get his car �nted he would not have called Aizat before he called
Pharid, and he would not have asked Pharid for Norhaya�' s number.
148.6.
Firstly, it is incongruous that a policeman from the Special Branch in
Kangar, Perlis would want to meet with the wife of a man whose
disappearance was the subject of an ongoing police inves�ga�on and a
Public Inquiry, in which the ac�ons of the Special Branch officers, both
in Kangar, Perlis and in Bukit Aman, Kuala Lumpur were under scru�ny.
Sgt Shamzaini surely cannot seriously contend that he did not know of
Norhaya�'s iden�ty because from the contradic�ons outlined above the
Panel can safely infer that he knew whom he was talking to before he
met Norhaya�.
148.7.
Secondly, and flowing from the first incongruence, it is the admi�ed
evidence of Sgt Shamzaini that the mee�ng on the night of 12 May 2018
lasted for two (2) hours, during which �me Norhaya� confronted him
with a series of accusa�ons on the conduct of the police in the
disappearance of her husband. The tenancy of the premises occupied by
Pharid was not discussed at all except in a very peripheral way. If Sgt
Shamzaini is to be believed, it means that he spent two (2) hours
listening to Norhaya�'s accusa�ons and laments about the role of the
police in the abduc�on of her husband and that he finally le� a�er she
threatened to lodge a police report against him accusing him of being
part of her husband's disappearance!
