what had keeping me from blogging this long?? it's actually my court report..
basically I have to come up with a scenario of a crime, but i'm not allowed to categorised it as a crime as i'm not a police, i'm just a forensic scientist, and to analyse the "evidence" found from the crime scene.. get the results and write a very nice detailed report for submission.. which later in March i'll have to defend my report in court.. so basically i had wrote something that is going to tear myself into pieces by professional barrister, expert witness with years of experiences, and lecturers..
sounds easy? not there yet.. i have to cover every single detail so that i can answer the questions put to me in court.. from the procedures i took in analysing my evidence, to the chain of custody, to the cleanliness of the lab, why i had did this, why i had did that.. it's not easy to think of everything and cover everything.. spent so many hours thinking of it to wrap it round.. but i bet that they will still find loopholes to rip me..
still thinking of whether to publish my report online or not, though it meant nothing to you guys..
anyway.. time to move onto my final year project report.. which another report that i will have to think more as well.. grey hairs is coming out of my head now.. sigh...

You're a CSI! cool! cool!
Hi there Coffee Girl..
It really does sounds cool.. But what I learnt doesn't really looks like CSI in tv.. CSI is crime scene investigators, while what I learnt is Forensic Science, it's abit different if you go into the details, although I do learn both of them.. It's up to me on what I'm wanted to choose for my career, and of course what my future boss wanted me to do.. and unfortunately for Malaysia, CSI is done by RMP, where they call themselves as Forensik..
Really? that cud be redundant then. CSI is forensic, or forensic is CSI. we just dont use that name here, right? what is RMP?
oh, sorry for did not making it clear.. RMP is Royal Malaysia Police..
basically CSI, are the people who goes into the crime scene and collect and preserve the integrity and the safety of evidence.. different kinds of evidence will have different methods of recovering them and preserving them..
as for the forensic scientist, they are specialised in some fields of expertise, or they could just be a general forensic scientist.. specialised fields such as blood splatter analyst, DNA analyst, trace evidence analyst, ballistic analyst, firearm and tool marks analyst etc etc..
CSI and Forensic Scientist is not recommended to be done by the same person as in, let say X, X when to a crime scene to collect evidence, and X went back to his/her lab to analyse the evidence, there might be a problem at here as X might have contaminated the evidence he/she analyse in the lab because he/she had been in the crime scene. Even though precautions can be taken such as wearing gloves, coveralls, overalls shoes face mask etc etc, but I had never seen any malaysia police wearing all of these to prevent contamination.
Any smart cheeky defence barrister can use this point to throw the whole case out of court, all because of the word "contamination"..
as for the name, i'm not quite sure what they use, I seen they wore some very cool looking jacket embroidered with "FORENSIK".. and that's it.. nothing much info about them..
oh wow... that is a detailed explanation. Thanks. :-) very interesting job u got there.
