A police is a person authorised to ensure that law and order is maintained, therefore a police force is the organization that is entrusted to ensure that people keep to the law. This is done, usually by being present in full uniform for all potential law breakers to see, or in disguise to nap potential law breakers. This is seldom the case in Malaysia.
When do you see policemen in large numbers? On parade during Independence Day Ceremonies! When there are a few people protesting in our streets for some causes! They are around in large numbers in uniform and in plain clothes when VIPs are around. O yes, when it comes to catching traffic offenders they are always around! However, when it comes to being around a crime-prone area like Chow Kit, they make a hasty retreat to find better locations for their police post! In other words, when you want them, they are not to be found!
The FRU members spend a lot of time polishing their shoes, helmets, batons, shields, teargas guns, tear masks, water cannons and what have you, most of the time unless some ‘violent’ fellows choose to gather for a candle vigil or to hand over a letter to a VIP. Then they show up in large numbers to protect us from these ‘violent’ fellows! Bravo! These people, like in Hong Kong and elsewhere, should be sent in squads to patrol ‘dangerous’ areas where criminals congregate to do their nasty business like robbing poor women, operating illegal gambling and bookkeeping dens, vice dens, etc. Their training in ‘brutality’ fits them to teach these unlawful people a touch lesson! Yet they are not found in such areas? Why? Are they kept in reserve for impending riots all the time? Are riots so frequent that they cannot be taken off base and must be ever ready all the time?
Any MP out there, please ask this questions on the people’s behalf so that we can understand our Police Force:
1. How many crime investigating officers we have?
2. How many traffic police do we have?
3. How many policemen go on foot patrol and where?
4. How many patrol cars we have and how many officers are in them at one time?
5. How many ‘office staff police officers we have’?
6. How many officers are the in our FRU?
7. How many Special Branch officers we have? (If not classified!)
8. How many PVR (volunteer police personnel) do we have?
9. How many go on active Religious Affairs raids?
10. How many police personnel are used for protecting, escorting VIPs?
11. How many police officers have died or been wounded in the line of duty arresting criminals?
12. How many police personnel had been charged fro bribery in the last 5 years?
13. What is the optimal number of police personnel needed actually in Malaysia?
Ask the Home Minister these questions. It is always interesting to hear him speak for he makes the greatest laughable statements all the time!
When we have so many road accidents, we faithfully carry out OPS SIKAP (latest count 18). Then police officers gloat about the few deaths and the increase summonses issued! When we have snatch thefts cases, robberies, rapes, kidnaps, blowing up of ATM machines, housebreaking, car and motorcycle thefts, white crimes, blackmails, illegal factories, vice dens, illegal gambling dens, cybercafés disguised gambling dens, etc. what major regular operations do we have? What about an OPS RAGUT ranging from 1 to a million?
Our police force is very selective in doing its work. Please do something to restore our confidence in you! We have read of members of the public acting when a snatch theft occurred, seldom of a police officer on duty doing so. We have read of citizens dying in trying to apprehend snatch thieves but is there a case of a police officer dying to catch one such thief?
The press is trying to give you all good publicity. You display weapons captured, arranged so neatly for the press photographers. You show stacks of money and drugs confiscated (some go missing in your custody, right?). Why all these man? If only you show your faces around when we most need you to prevent us simple folks from being robbed in our streets, in our so-called safe homes and in our cars, we will be most thankful.
