KUALA LUMPUR: Lembah Pantai MP Izzah Anwar today questioned the government\u2019s decision not to charge the company responsible for training diplomatic and administrative officers with Nor Hashimah Wahid\u2019s death on May 31.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nurul Izzah said the Umno-linked company, Tuntas Consultancy Sdn Bhd, was awarded a government contract to oversee the training centres and as such, should also be held responsible.<\/p>\n

She said it was grossly unfair to only \u201ctransfer\u201d the six government officers involved in the programme and \u201cfree\u201d the company, which is owned by the off-springs of former Higher Education Minister and ex-Kuala Langat MP Shafie Salleh.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy are the government servants made the scapegoats?<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it is true that the contract was given to Tuntas, why are their instructors let off the hook?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n

She has also questioned the type of training provided by the firm and the quality of the instructors.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Nor Hashimah, who fell unconscious during the commando-style training, died after drifting in and out of consciousness for four days. She died of severe pneumonia with multiple organ failure.<\/p>\n

Following this, many reports have indicated that the 30-year-old mother was \u201cbullied\u201d and was even made to drink a \u201cstocking juice\u201d by an instructor at Selangor Enforcement Training Centre in Jugra, Banting.<\/p>\n

Nor Hashimah\u2019s family has alleged that the camp management only took her to Banting Hospital when her condition worsened and she had breathing difficulties.<\/p>\n

She was warded for a day but was forced to continue with her training after her discharge.<\/p>\n

Nurul Izzah also expressed her disappointment with the ex-gratia settlement paid by the government to the victim\u2019s family as compensation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe payment made is nothing out of the ordinary as it is usually paid to those who died of natural causes (unlike Nor Hashimah\u2019s),\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
