Police, No Thief; not Thief, then Police

I am sure the whole nation is alarmed by the news on the deaths caused by thieves. And we hear calls for the public to help. I am sure many of us would follow our conscience to help. But this has been the talk!

Can we also please at least look at some other possible solutions? SMS notification to those detected to be in certain areas, on the number of crimes reported, for example.

I had a discussion with a friend last night. I realised later, thanks to my friend, that I don't feel the presence of the police in most places. My understanding has been that the police force is established to protect. Many years ago, I used to see many policemen and policewomen in public places.

Now, I don't feel their presence except for big events. How about the presence of the police in public areas or on public roads? Even when we have the "pondok polis" in some places, very seldom that we see the police.

Having the police around is a comfort for the law abiding citizens. It is an indication that the protectors are around. I hope this note will be heard.

PDRM are scare of crime now such that they stopped wearing their police uniform. What if the gangters attack the poor polis officer? Yes gaji polis tetap jalan but tugas tidak jalan.

If you feel the police presence, then: -
-we are under a police state
-Government stifling opposition
-police have high handed approach towards criminals.
This is M'sia as the Rakyat wants it.
