The plaintiff was arrested without a warrant by a group of Special Branch officers led by
the first defendant on 25 September 1998, at about 10pm. The arrest occurred in front
of his house just after he had been dropped off by a friend. The plaintiff was only
vaguely told that he was being arrested under the Internal Security Act 1960. He was
then handcuffed and slapped thrice by the first defendant when he was unable to show
the first defendant the location of his car.
Thereafter, the first defendant and his men entered the plaintiff's house without a search
warrant and seized several documents and items. He was then blindfolded and taken to
the IPK Kuala Lumpur. During the journey to the IPK, apart from wearing the blindfold,
the plaintiff's head was forcibly covered with a T-shirt and the plaintiff was forced to
bend forward and down between his legs in the car. At the IPK, Kuala Lumpur he was
taken to an air-conditioned room on the first floor where he was stripped, drenched with
water and made to stand in front of the air-conditioner. The plaintiff further testified that
he was verbally abused and physically assaulted by the first defendant, the then
Inspector-General of Police ('IGP') Tan Sri Rahim Noor, and several other police
personnel. He was hit, punched and kicked repeatedly all over his body. His penis was
hit and an object pushed against his anus. He lost his balance and fell down several
times during the assault. At one instance when his blindfold slipped, he recognised one
of the assailants as the second defendant,Tan Sri Rahim Noor, the then IGP. The
plaintiff recounted that after the assault, his mouth was forced open and some foul
urine-smelling liquid was poured into his mouth. This harrowing ordeal lasted until 4am
on 26 September 1998.
He was denied medical treatment for several days and was only taken to see Dr
Vasantha on 29 September 1998. The plaintiff testified that he was taken to Bukit Aman
on 26 September 1998 and interrogated for 19 days. The plaintiff averred that the
interrogation was only focused on inter alia, his relationship with Datuk Seri Anwar
Ibrahim, the 'reformasi' movement and opposition politics. All in all, the plaintiff spent 57
days in police custody and under solitary confinement. During this 57-day period he only
saw his family twice and was denied access to counsel. The plaintiff sued the
defendants for damages for the tort of false imprisonment as well as for the tort of
assault and battery.
