JOHOR BAHRU, May 27 — The policeman who was shot in his shoulder and hip during the attack on the Ulu Tiram police station on May 17 was discharged from the Sultan Ismail Hospital on Saturday (May 25).
Seri Alam district police chief Supt Mohd Sohaimi Ishak said Corporal Mohd Hasif Roslan, 38, was discharged after nine days of treatment and is on two months’ leave.
"Surely, the incident has traumatised Mohd Hasif, and he also received counselling during his stay at the hospital and, if necessary, he will undergo further counselling.
"He is in stable condition and can walk without having to use a walking stick… (however), he will receive regular treatment over the next two months,” he said.
Sohaimi was speaking to the press during the handover of state government contributions to the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) of Johor at the Johor Police Contingent headquarters today.
Also present was Johor police chief CP M Kumar.
During the 2.45am attack on the police station on May 17, Constable Ahmad Azza Fahmi Azhar, 22, and Constable Muhamad Syafiq Ahmad Said, 24, were killed by a masked intruder armed with a machete, while Hasif was shot and injured.
Seven individuals were remanded for seven days from May 18 to May 24 to assist in the investigations. Five of them are the perpetrator's family members, and two others were students at the scene during the incident.
However, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said that the five were rearrested under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma) after their remand period ended.
