Feds shun Selangor govt’s offer to help combat crime? Why?!

I wanted to highlight an initiative of the Selangor state government, who for the second time has written to the Home Ministry, asking that they be allowed to contribute auxillary personnel to the police in order to help prevent crime.
My family lives on one of those roads with private security. Truth be told, the guards don’t do much except sit there and move a little road marker when cars pass by. It’s not rocket science or high tech crime prevention.
That said, crime on that road has dropped to nearly zero.
Zero.
All it takes, is for someone to sit there all day and all night.
Is that beyond the power of the Selangor state government to help organise? I think not.
Now if only the federal government, who controls the cops, not letting them help?
What happened to People First? When such an offer that would clearly help combat the terrible scourge of crime affecting every Malaysian is shunned, it sure seems like Politics First :P
