[1] He was implicated in 17 different murders, and terrorized the capital Kuala Lumpur through violence, extortion and heroin smuggling.
He was finally gunned down by Royal Malaysia Police's Special Actions Unit from Bukit Aman, Kuala Lumpur.
He was arrested again in July 1985 under the Emergency Ordinance proclamation and jailed at Jerejak Island, Penang, but was released soon after in 1987.
He was placed under house arrest, but subsequently established his own triad called 'Gang 04 Jalan Klang Lama' in Kuala Lumpur.
'Ops Buncit' was joined by 200 police personnel, including those from Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, and Pahang, who were massively mobilized to hunt down Bentong Kali.
[5] In an attempt to capture Bentong Kali, posters of him and his crimes were put up in public places all over Malaysia.
[2] Police intelligence tracked Bentong Kali to his hideout in a double-storey terraced house in Medan Damansara, Kuala Lumpur on 29 June 1993.
At the break of dawn, an elite team of police officers from the Special Actions Unit from Bukit Aman took positions and surrounded the house.
