The closed-circuit television cameras outside the Kuala Lumpur International Airport departure hall were not switched on during the shoot-out.Federal Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk Mohd Bakri Zinin said checks showed the CCTVs were switched on again after the five-minute shoot-out.
"It has hampered police investigations. We were hoping that the footages from the CCTVs could have provided us with information about the gunmen," Bakri said.
"What's the point of having CCTVs if they are not switched on? It is not for decorative purposes."Malaysia Airports Berhad senior general manager (operations) Datuk Azmi Murad refused to comment on the CCTVs.
"This is a police case. Let the police comment on this," he said.
When pressed further, he said the CCTVs were operated by it.
Two CCTVs are visible at the driveway outside the departure hall.

You know why we need CCTVs?
It's not for crime control;
It's a crime itself.
Someone gets rich, whenever there's an opportunity.
Hidup Barisan; Hidup Umno!
