A photograph of Kuala Lumpur CID chief Ku Chin Wah holding a photo of the suspect sought in the murder of a prominent businessman went viral online yesterday.

This was because the suspect, identified as Kong Swee Kwan, bore a striking resemblance to the senior police officer.

However, Ku saw one major difference between the suspect and him.

"I am more handsome," he had said in a text message to The Star Online . The report stated that Ku had also included a smiley at the end of his message.

Agreeing with Ku, Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar also felt that the CID chief was better looking.

"Definitely, my OCCI (CID chief) is more handsome and mean," he told Malaysiakini , adding that the suspect should surrender immediately.

Even Malaysiakini readers could not refrain from commenting on the likeness, with one comparing it to a Bollywood movie.

"That looks like KL CID chief Ku Chin Wah. Twin brothers separated at birth?

"One becomes a criminal and the other a top cop! Bollywood movie made in Malaysia!" stated a reader, who used the pseudonym Botak Chin, one of Malaysia's most infamous criminals.

The police are looking for the 44-year-old suspect to facilitate investigations into the fatal shooting of Arab Malaysian Bank founder Hussain Ahmad Najadi.

On July 29, Najadi, 75, was gunned down after a man opened fire at him and his wife at a car park outside the Kuan Yin Temple at Jalan Ceylon in Kuala Lumpur.
