It is absurd to suggest that a police officer would have sat on the verandah of Amri Che Mat's house for two (2) hours listening to Amri Che Mat’s wife lament on an ongoing inves�ga�on when all that he went there for was to ask whether the premises occupied by Pharid was for rental. One would have expected that the minute the conversa�on turned to the police inves�ga�on and the ongoing Public Inquiry, Sgt Shamzaini would have le�, if indeed his only purpose was to discuss about the tenancy. 148.9. The only logical explana�on for his telephone call to Pharid was that he wanted to get Norhaya�’s number from him. The talk of a tenancy is illogical and can only be explained as a ruse or cover up for his real inten�on which was to speak to Norhaya� about the disappearance of Amri Che Mat. In all probability he was only trying to speak to Norhaya� to arrange to meet her and to pass her the informa�on which she tes�fied that he did. 148.10. No jus�fica�on was given nor could it be understood why a policeman would go to a lady’s home at night knowing that her husband was missing, unless he had some important informa�on he needed to pass to her. 148.11. Sgt Shamzaini’s move to sit a li�le lower on the staircase of Norhaya�’s verandah when he saw the lights of the Police patrol car was consistent with someone who did not wished to be seen. 148.12. There is considerable confusion in Sgt Shamzaini's evidence in the police report he lodged on 18 May 2018. It is clear that he was spoken to by the Head and Deputy Head of the Special Branch in Kangar, Perlis and had his statement recorded on 17 May 2018 by a senior police officer from Bukit Aman, Kuala Lumpur. Sgt Shamzaini only lodged his report on 18 May 2018 and the police have not produced his witness statement at the Public Inquiry. He was clearly under considerable pressure following Norhaya�'s report. If he was indeed and in fact threatened by Norhaya� as alleged, he would have lodged a police report against her at the earliest opportunity and not 3 days a�er the mee�ng. 149. In short, Sgt Shamzaini’s evidence is filled with inconsistencies and it raises serious doubts on his credibility. Sgt Shamzaini displayed inconsistent and odd behaviour in explaining how he came about Pharid’s and Aizat’s telephone numbers.
