Family demands answers on commando in vegetative state By Ayesha Sheik Mazrul

Malaysiakini : The family of a 25-year-old commando is demanding justice after their son was left in a vegetative state following an incident at a Johor army camp. Trooper Abdul Hamid Talib, a member of the Special Service Group (Grup Gerak Khas, GGK), sustained severe injuries at Kem Iskandar in Mersing on March 11.

As a result, Hamid suffered severe head trauma, with part of his skull removed due to the extent of the injury. Hamid is in a vegetative state, where he is unable to speak, eat, or recognise his surroundings, and relies entirely on feeding and breathing tubes.

Speaking at a press conference today, lawyers representing the family claimed that the initial explanation given by the military for the trooper’s injuries was due to a fall.

Lawyers N Surendran and Suzana Norlihan Alias, however, disputed this account, arguing that the extent of his injuries is more consistent with assault or severe physical punishment.

“The explanation given is that he fell. I don’t think anyone would believe that a 25-year-old, healthy commando could fall and end up like this. “Part of his skull had to be removed. Can you imagine? Can this happen from a fall?” Surendran said at the Lawyers for Liberty (LFL) office today.

A 100% definitely true statement. Since the earliest times of military existence, no child of the billionaires, millionaires, royalties, politicians, elites, pengarahs joined the military and were sent off to the battle fields... The existence of these people in military attire and during ceremonial parades is just just rhetorics and facades, a show put up to demonstrate control and publicity stunt to make the rakyat kawtaw to the XXXXXX!! 

None of the categories of the people mentioned in the above paragraph can even do a military march past, do the physical exercises the military personnel go through or even handle the planes, ships or weapons. 

The children of the rakyat are sent to the battle fields to protect the childen of these categories of people, but when any unfortunate incidences happen, the military does no take care of the victims... What a fake madani and reformist UG!! Malaysia needs a "Pete Hegeth" NOT a umno politikus as a defence minister!!
