Two video clips are recently circulated through email which each of them shows a prisoner was caned until his skins split with blood.
It is believed that the location of the clips were taken in Malaysia ground when the prisoners and the prison officers were communicating in Bahasa Malaysia and the uniforms worn is similar to the uniform of our prison department officers.
Harian Metro had on 13th November 2006 in a news article entitled “DVD sulit dari penjara” by Mohd Jamilul Anbia Md Denin discovered similar video clips as below (from NSTP Archieve):
However, there has been no official government reply found from major news archieve in Malaysia on the video clip as the clips may be used for training or education purpose.
Although the incident was reported in November 2006 when the Harian Metro reporter found that it was in DVD format, the video clip is however available for view in http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ebe_1181569371, http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=5ab_1172940415, while the event was also reported in the Bar Council website.
It will be most unfortunate if the clips were the real recording of how a prisoner in Malaysia was executed by caning and not a video clip for training or education purpose whatsoever.
If this is the case, then this will raise a lot of questions: Why the prison department record caning execution of the prisoner? Is this done on every caned prisoner? If it is recorded by the Prison Department, how can the videos be leaked out from the custody of the Prison Department to outsider, until the clips are now posted on the internet and available internationally? Why couldn’t the government reply in time, i.e. in November when the news was reported by Harian Metro?
From the comments posted on the website about the clips, we are sure that the image of the country is seriously tarnished and we demand the government to clarify of whether the video clips are the real recording or merely for education or training purpose.

KUALA LUMPUR: Rakaman video memaparkan enam banduan disebat yang diambil secara sulit, terlepas keluar dari simpanan Jabatan Penjara dan kini menjadi tatapan umum selepas dipercayai diulang cetak dan disalin dalam bentuk cakera video digital (DVD) sebelum dijual di pasaran gelap.
DVD terbabit menayangkan secara terperinci cara banduan di sebuah penjara menjalani hukuman sebat antara satu hingga 20 kali sehingga menimbulkan rasa ngeri apabila ada pesalah yang dirotan itu meraung kesakitan dan mengalami kecederaan serius.
Bagaimanapun, tidak dapat dipastikan rakaman proses hukuman yang dilakukan secara sulit itu boleh terlepas ke luar tembok penjara dan seterusnya jatuh ke tangan penjual DVD sebelum ia dipasarkan kepada orang ramai.
Harian Metro yang mendapat salinan DVD berjudul `Rotan 18SG' berharga RM10 setiap satu itu mendapati, sampul DVD itu tertera gambar banduan disebat.
Berdasarkan sampul itu, pengedar mendakwa rakaman video terbabit diambil jurugambar amatur yang juga pegawai penjara menggunakan kamera video.
Rakaman terbabit pada peringkat awalnya menyiarkan beberapa banduan lelaki berbaris sambil menunggu pemeriksaan doktor sebelum menjalani hukuman rotan.
Turut ditunjukkan adalah visual seorang doktor bertugas di penjara terbabit memeriksa kesihatan banduan sebelum hukuman dijatuhkan.
Rakaman video itu kemudian menunjukkan seorang `tukang sebat' berbaju putih dan seluar panjang gelap melakukan sesi `memanas badan' dengan memukul rotan ke arah objek seperti bantal pada kayu palang yang akan digunakan untuk merotan pesalah.
Rakaman seterusnya menunjukkan seorang pegawai penjara berjalan menuju tempat hukuman dijalankan sebelum lensa kamera video memfokuskan ke arah beberapa fail peribadi banduan yang bakal dikenakan hukuman rotan.
Tidak lama kemudian, seorang banduan lelaki berjalan ke arah pegawai terbabit sebelum memberitahu nama dan nombor pengenalan banduannya.
Pesalah disandarkan pada palang kayu sebelum seolah-olah diikat beberapa kakitangan penjara dalam keadaan bahagian punggung banduan itu terdedah.
Sebaik seorang pegawai penjara mengeluarkan arahan dua kali hukuman rotan, `tukang sebat' kemudian melepaskan dua sebatan ke arah punggung pesalah.
Kamera video turut memfokuskan bahagian punggung pesalah yang calar dan berdarah sebaik dirotan.
Rakaman seterusnya memaparkan tiga lagi banduan yang turut dirotan sebanyak satu hingga dua kali.
Turut dipertontonkan, seorang pesalah lelaki dibacakan semula kesalahan dan hukumannya iaitu dipenjara 11 tahun dan 13 sebatan.
Pesalah dijatuhkan hukuman rotan serentak sebelum berjalan masuk ke bilik rawatan sambil diiringi beberapa wadar penjara.
Rakaman selanjutnya menunjukkan pegawai penjara melawat banduan yang selesai menjalani hukuman rotan dalam bilik rawatan.
Kebanyakan banduan dilihat berbaring sambil punggung mereka disapu ubat.
Pada sesi seterusnya, rakaman video terbabit tambah `panas' apabila memaparkan seorang banduan menerima hukuman 20 sebatan.
Banduan yang tidak dapat menahan kesakitan beberapa kali menjerit `Allahhu Akhbar' sebaik rotan singgah di punggungnya.
Susulan paparan DVD itu, Harian Metro cuba menjejaki penjualnya sebelum mendapati ia diedarkan seorang peniaga di 'Pasar Karat', Jalan Petaling di sini.
Wartawan Harian Metro menyamar pelanggan sebelum memasuki pasar terbabit jam 6 pagi semalam.
Hasilnya, seorang lelaki berusia sekitar lewat 40-an berniaga DVD terbabit di hujung pasar itu dengan hanya membuka meja.
Lelaki itu turut menayangkan sedutan rakaman terbabit untuk menarik pengunjung pasar itu dengan menggunakan pemain DVD mudah alih bersaiz kecil.
Sewaktu dihampiri, lelaki itu memberitahu DVD terbabit dirakamkan secara sulit dan tidak mungkin dapat dibeli di mana-mana premis atau kedai.
Ketika diminta mengurangkan harga DVD dijual, lelaki terbabit memberitahu dia perlu membayar komisyen kepada `individu' yang mengedarkannya.
Tinjauan Harian Metro selama satu jam mendapati puluhan pelanggan mengerumuni meja jualan itu.
Seorang pelanggan yang ditemui berkata, pendedahan hukuman sebat itu secara terbuka tidak jauh bezanya dengan gambar boegl seorang suri rumah melakukan ketuk ketampi dalam lokap disebarkan melalui klip video, Jun tahun lalu.
Ia sepatutnya menjadi rahsia jabatan kerajaan dan tidak sewenang-wenang didedahkan kepada umum apatah lagi untuk mendapatkan keuntungan.
However, there has been no official government reply found from major news archieve in Malaysia on the video clip as the clips may be used for training or education purpose.
Although the incident was reported in November 2006 when the Harian Metro reporter found that it was in DVD format, the video clip is however available for view in http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ebe_1181569371, http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=5ab_1172940415, while the event was also reported in the Bar Council website.
