MyWatch: Top cop's son jobless but rolling in cash

Nearly a year after being shot, crime watchdog MyWatch chairperson R Sri Sanjeevan today hit out again at alleged corruption in the police force.

The PKR member also questioned the extraordinary wealth of a 30-year-old son of a state police chief.
Sanjeevan claimed the unemployed man bought two luxury cars last year - a Jaguar and an Audi A5, with a combined value of RM1.1 million.
His bank accounts, Sanjeevan alleged, had transactions worth some RM500,000 in the last six months, up to April.
"He is the only son in the family. He is jobless, he has no genuine source of income, no passive income...
"The coincidence here is that he is linked to a firearms company. The firearms company is in the same state where his father is the police chief," Sanjeevan told reporters at a restaurant in Kuala Lumpur.
He said MyWatch received a tip-off from an anonymous source, who also provided the bank account details of the state police chief's son for the last two years.
He added that the son, a law graduate, has not been employed since 2008, according to his Employee Provident Fund (EPF) record.
Malaysiakini has withheld the names of the state police chief and his son pending an official response from them.
The only Malay director
Sanjeevan said that the police chief's son was "the only Malay director" among 10 directors of a private limited arms company and received about RM100,000 a year in compensation for his position.
He got married last year.
His father has been the top cop of the state for some three years.
"Even if he worked 40 years in the force, his salary cannot afford all this," Sanjeevan said, emphasising why the government needed to seriously look into this case.
Sanjeevan said that he would furbish all the details in a report to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) next week.
Sanjeevan has been biting back at the police since he was shot by two men on a motorcycle in Negri Sembilan on July 27 last year, which put him in a coma for 35 days.
Earlier this month, he questioned why the police were slow in pursuing his attackers.
In response,  Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Khalid Abu Bakar ( left ) warned Sanjeevan not to hold the police at ransom by threatening to expose more police wrongdoings unless they dutifully investigate his case.
Sanjeevan asserted his right to do so as a concerned Malaysian.
"I am not a criminal. Why do you need to confiscate my phone and my pendrive, which contain a lot of sensitive documents of MyWatch - things I want to expose. Why?" he asked.
"As a Malaysian, I have a right to know what happens in the police force and it is entirely the responsibility of the IGP to answer whatever we want to know. If really he is sleeping, then I think he should resign and go back home."
