Teresa Kok, Jenice Lee and Teo Nie Ching must be more dangerous than all the snatch thieves in KL

by Nathaniel Tan

Update: Well, glad to see they’re soldiering on.. :)

In case you missed the video earlier:

So what is up with all this nonsense? So many strange aspects to this case.

Let’s start with this: what was the OCPD himself, the top cop of Brickfields, doing at a candelight vigil and signature gathering campaign attended by a grand total of about 12 people?

If the cops can pick up on an event as tiny and miniscule as this (12 people!!), can you imagine how much manpower and resources they are investing on intelligence gathering?

But perfectly justified right? I mean, YBs Teresa Kok, Jenice Lee and Teo Nie Ching are all infinitely more dangerous to society than all the snatch thieves in KL put together right?

Clearly this is the case, if the no. 1 cop in the whole area has to *personally* come down, kick ass and take names.

Sigh. Orang bakar lilin kena tangkap. Orang bakar kereta, bakar rumah, semua bebas.. And according to the courts, polis sendiri bakar orang! (deep in the Shah Alam jungles).

(My alternative title for this piece was: Orang bakar lilin, polis tangkap; polis bakar orang, lilin tangkap? :P )

I was talking to some nice people gathered in Brickfields last night in solidarity. One related the story of a bookstore owner in Damansara Uptown. The information is unverified, but apparently, the shopkeeper reported FOUR TO FIVE SNATCH THEFTS in front of the shop EVERY DAY!

EVERY DAY!!

This is in Damansara Uptown, like what? 300m from a police station?

Having now met more people from Residents Associations, I often hear tales of how in meetings with OCPDs (probably just like Brickfields, whose area of responsibility happens to include my neighbourhood, sigh), they always complain they are under-resourced, and under-manned.

I’ve repeated it ad nauseum, but if so, how then, were there so many cops last night - doing the arrests, ‘defending’ the police station from the ‘violent’ crowd :| , ‘protecting’ Lim Kit Siang’s car (4 traffic cops) ??

Why are there always so, so many FRU’s and Light Strike Force personnel hanging around? Can’t retrain them to hang around street corners instead to deter criminals? (You can start in front of that bookstore).

Have there been so many violent riots in Malaysia that justify the number of riot police we have? Can’t we retrain the Field Force (I mean, the communists *are* gone you know - didn’t get memo?)

Sigh.

And to think. All this probably because BN Just Can’t Stand To Hear Anything About Perak. Takut kerana salah. Just hold the damned state elections, and we can stop all this tomfoolery.

ps- And what’s up with this profiling trend? Are these idiots trying to incite a particular community? Najib wants to go the way of his father? Well, that’s a damned fool’s quest, if ever I’ve heard one.
