KOTA KINABALU (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - He was an elite commando who would have begun serving as a United Nations peacekeeper in Lebanon in a few weeks' time. Instead, in a live-firing demonstration gone awry at an army camp in Malaysia's Sabah state on Wednesday (Sept 4), he was shot dead by a fellow soldier. The tragic incident has raised questions about what went wrong. Major Mohd Zahir Armaya, a 36-year-old father of five, was a son of veteran Malaysian actor-comedian A.R. Badul, 70, and his former second wife, a Sabahan. Police said they were investigating the case for negligence, while the Malaysian Army said it would form a special committee to probe the incident. Major Zahir was pronounced dead at the accident and emergency unit of Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Kota Kinabalu at 9.20am on Wednesday, about an hour after he was shot while participating in a demonstration at the Lok Kawi army camp to mark the launch of the army's Fifth Infantry Division and 13th Infantry Brigade. It was learnt that as part of the demonstration, Major Zahir, taking on the role of a "criminal", was to shoot at a soldier who would then return fire. However, the soldier apparently missed his mark and the bullet struck Major Zahir in a spot not protected by a bulletproof vest. Show more
