UPM security ‘stole’ laptop

University Putra Malaysia security personnel allegedly broke into a student’s room and illegally confiscated a laptop computer and other electrical goods and documents.

The incident involving four security personnel occurred Friday at Yee Yang Yang hostel 13 between 11pm until 1am the following day.

According to Yee, the security guards were conducting a spot check on two rooms in his hostel with his room being one of them.

Yee was then subjected to a interrogation session where the security guards had allegedly demanded to know why he was involved in politics.

“I asked them: You (security guards) said earlier that you were looking for a stolen mobile phone, why are you asking me about politics?” said Yee when contacted.

Subsequently, the guards carted away Yee’s laptop computer, mobile phone and MP3 player valued at RM6,000. Documents were also confiscated.

Together with several friends, Yee confronted one of the four security guards yesterday afternoon and demanded for his belongings to be returned.

When all failed, Yee lodged a police report at the Sri Serdang police station.

He plans to lodge an official complaint with the university authorities and the Public Complaints Bureau soon.
