Anwar hubungi KPN mahu siasatan kematian Noorizwan telus, menyeluruh

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim contacted National Police Chief Khalid Ismail to obtain further details regarding the death of Noorizwan Zulkefly during detention earlier in the month, emphasizing the need for a thorough, comprehensive, and uncompromising investigation. Anwar also assured that updates on the investigation would be communicated to the victim's family.

He stated that his office took into account the presence of Noorizwan's family to deliver a petition to him today, expressing deep sorrow over the loss of Allahyarham Noorizwan Zulkefly and understanding the grief and concern of the family awaiting answers. Anwar was scheduled to attend several events in Malacca today and had delegated his staff to receive the petition and listen to the issues raised by the family.

Later, Noorizwan's family, accompanied by their lawyer, visited Prime Minister Anwar's residence to deliver a memorandum and urge government intervention concerning the family's concern over the death of a detainee in IPD Cheras. Noorizwan was arrested on September 20th and held at IPD Cheras for 11 days without informing his family before being transferred to Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz UKM on September 30th, where he was pronounced dead on October 1st.

The family rejected the statement by the Kuala Lumpur Police Chief that the arrest and detention were carried out according to SOP. On October 12th, a forensic pathologist at the relevant hospital informed the family and their legal team that the cause of Noorizwan's death was confirmed to be head trauma.
