Disabled ex policeman complains of not receiving proper care by Police force / 8 February 2013

DAP Sri Aman today received a complaint from retired police officer & ex-Iban singer Mr Christopher Kerry Ochida Landong about his predicament now because of his disabled condition. He is a disabled person now as he left leg was amputated & he is now relying on a prostesis leg which he has to change every 4 years. He claims that that he has tried to ask for help from the police force but it has fallen on deaf ears.

He has now turned to DAP Sri Aman for help and he said he is representing the retired police personnel in Sri Aman in voicing out their unhappiness of being ill-treated & forgotten by the Police force.

"The police force should  more sensitive towards the needs of its retired veterans especially those who have fought tirelessly for our country during its time of crisis such as the Konfrantasi & the Communist Insurgency" said Leon

"If there are any police parades, these veterans want to be invited to watch the parade as they feel they can contribute & disseminate ideas for the new generation of police officers" added Leon.

referring to the case if the late Wilfred Gomez, Leon said the State Government should have given a State Funeral to the late Wilfred & buried at the Heroes Cemetery. The State Government should not play politics especially when it involves our countries heroes.
