Police: Surrender Homemade Firearms Now!
 |
| This is a firearm. It's illegal to make one in your home. I think that's the one. |
Apparently, Mirians have real talent for manufacturing dangerous things - there are some people who are making firearms in their homes! Why? Well to shoot Bambi of course!
Miri police chief, ACP Mun Kock Keong, has said that arrests and fatalities involving homemade firearms has occured in Miri and also other areas of Sarawak. And people are still making firearms for hunting or for sale, despite being warned sternly not to shoot themselves or their loved ones (either accidentally, or deliberately).
He said, “I would like to issue another warning to those in possession of homemade firearms — what they are doing is a very serious offence under the law where upon conviction, the punishment can be very heavy with lengthy jail sentences."
“Possession of any firearm without a licence is a very serious crime, regardless of whether the firearms are made at home or made in the factory,” he said.
“There have been numerous cases of children getting killed because of these weapons in their houses that had been discharged accidentally."
These cases are happening from Taman Tunku and Kuala Baram. That pretty much covers Miri from one end to the other.
"If you have a firearm, you will need to surrender them immediately to the nearest police station. "
"Don’t wait until you have to pay a ‘deadly’ price,” he warned.
On the latest seizure of two homemade firearms in Lambir on Friday, two men were found possessing an air gun and a shotgun, complete with a handfull of bullets. Investigation revealed that these two men had manufactured these weapons for hunting purposes. The penalty is still very severe even if the homemade firearms are only for the purpose of hunting, but there are no specifics on how severe.

Recent Shootings Inspire Copycat Shootings?
Apparently in Taman Tunku people have started to randomly shoot things. With marbles, of all things. A sundry shop gets shot, with the 'bullet' penetrating the glass window (see pic). No one was nearby.
However, according to that shopkeeper, at a nearby market, a similar incident happened "a few days ago" and a female trader was hit by said "bullet". Yet another two incidents of the recent "shooting" was at a coffee shop where a patron was "shot at" and bent over in pain, and a customer buying some pork was shot at as well. (Why wasn't I aware of these "shootings"??)
This should be huge news by now and nobody I know was talking about it, like the murder attempt at Center Point, where everyone knows about it almost immediately).

Murder Attempt Gun Shooting in Miri
The third shooting in 2 years, a local businessman was targeted for murder in broad daylight at 3pm in Centre Point Commercial Center.
Fortuately for him, the assassin sucks, so he escaped unharmed. As they always say, "What doesn't kill you... is a lousy assassin."
The first shooting happened last year with the target killed, and the second shooting happened earlier this year, with the target injured in the head. This particular incident unfolded when the victim was about to enter his car after a meal at a nearby restaurant when a man emerged from the front passenger side of a "dark-coloured 4×4" vehicle and fired a shot at him.
Police later found several bullet holes at the crime scene. Yeah of course, they have, when considering that shots have been fired. What did we expect, rainbows flowing out where the shots went?
According to the police, the suspect’s identity has been confirmed, and they are taking action, but they would not comment further.
