The Basecamp, 3rd Floor South Wing, Sri Pentas, 3,Persiaran Bandar Utama, 47800 PJ, SelangorAs a Malaysia n, you may or may not have heard of the “Mamak Gang.” In case you haven’t, they’re not a group of men who hang out at mamak stalls all night sipping on teh tariks and debating football.
The police were preoccupied with managing the celebrations when a shocking report surfaced: RM12 million worth of gold bars had vanished from the cargo area of Subang Airport, considered Malaysia’s most secure facility. Police investigator Amidon Anan stated that these men were not policemen, but well-organised robbers. The robbers had executed the heist in a mere 20 minutes, leveraging the holiday’s reduced staffing at the airport.
“If you have Azizan and Amidon as the task force, if you’re a criminal, you don’t even want to sleep, because you know they will hunt you down. They won’t sleep, they won’t eat, they will be trailing you with such intensity and passion until you are caught,” said Kamal Affandi, Malaysian criminal analyst, in an interview with
Firearms were not their primary tool; persuasion was – a tactic that also helped mitigate potential legal repercussions. The brothers meticulously utilised their disguises to gain entry to secured locations, even setting aside funds for potential bail. After months of investigation, a breakthrough came when Amidon chased a gang member in a high-speed pursuit, revealing the gang’s awareness of the police hunt.
In the 1995 trial, the disappearance of Che De Lah, a key witness ready to testify against his gang members, was a significant setback for the case. He noted that the Serious Crimes Division of Bukit Aman’s CID was engaged in the shootout with the two criminals who were armed with a revolver and machete.
Perak acting police chief Datuk Hasnan Hassan reported that, acting on a tip-off, a team from the Serious Crimes Division of the Perak and Penang police headquarters had identified the two men inside a grey Toyota Vios in Tanjung Rambutan.“In their haste to escape, the suspects’ car skidded and crashed at Tanah Hitam. Instead of surrendering, one of the men exited the vehicle and fired several shots at the police, while the other brandished a parang at an officer.
