FMT:
3 Rohingya robbers shot dead in Selayang
The suspected mastermind had 12 previous criminal convictions and had gone to jail twice in 2016 and 2017.
The bullet-ridden windscreen of the car driven by the Rohingya men shot dead.
GOMBAK: Three Rohingya men, believed to have been involved in more than 50 burglary and robbery cases since 2011, were shot dead by police early this morning at Selayang Jaya.
The police officers, who were on patrol, came across a car with three men behaving suspiciously at around 12.30am.
When instructed to stop for an inspection, the suspects refused to cooperate and fired multiple shots at the police. In response, police returned fire, leading to the trio’s death at the scene.
Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan said the trio were suspected of preparing for a burglary when they were stopped by the police.
“Investigations show that the suspects were in their 30s and two of them were United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) card holders.
“One of them, who we believe was the mastermind, had 12 previous criminal convictions and was imprisoned twice, in 2016 and 2017, for burglary,” he told a press conference at the district police headquarters here.
Hussein said the gang was believed to have been involved in 27 burglary and robbery cases in Selangor alone this year, involving RM1.3 million in losses.
They were also involved in similar crimes in other states, namely Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Johor, Pahang and Penang.

If the suspected mastermind had 12 previous criminal convictions and had gone to jail twice in 2016 and 2017, why was he allowed to remain in Malaysia??? - should have been expelled/deported because a criminal, especially a foreigner, shouldn't be allowed to remain as a refugee.
Citizenship status notwithstanding there has been numerous Chinese criminals and kongsi gelap gangs who by right should have been banished but were allowed to reach a ripe old age here in the land of plenty.
