Series of Malaysian infamous crimes and intrigues were captured in Crime Investigation Asia. One of the few is the Banker Who Knew Too Much. No wallet, no ID… just a Malaysian coin caught in the lining of his trousers. This led to the investigation of a young banker with Malaysia’s Bank of Bumiputra who was on his business trip to Hong Kong. It takes the police officers 24 hours to get an ID on the dead man – Jalil Ibrahim. The Police don’t have much information to go on, until they stumble upon the banker’s personal diaries and letters. As they study his correspondence, they begin to suspect that Jalil may have discovered fatal secrets. But what did Jalil discover and why was he murdered? Mystery will be solved on March 7, at 11pm (encores on 25 April, 11pm).
None of the Malaysians will ever forget the chaotic incident that happened on August 5, 1975 where more than 50 people from the US and Swedish embassies in Kuala Lumpur were taken hostage by members of the Japanese Red Army (JRA). Hostages were held for three days as the JRA demanded Japan’s release of fellow members from prison. Although no lives were lost in the incident, it remained as a significant predicament in Malaysian history.
In 1975: KL Under Siege, airing on 18 April at 11pm, the incident was re-enacted by veteran star Datuk Jalaluddin Hassan who plays Home Affairs Minister Tan Sri Ghazali Shahabuddin Ahmad, one of the government officials attempted to resolve the crisis.
