MALAYSIAN COPS SCARED?

Parliament: Cops scared of crooks, so base closed! (from the star)



KUALA LUMPUR: A police beat base in the Chow
Kit area of downtown Kuala Lumpur was closed down because it was in a
location that was considered unsafe
, said Home Minister Datuk
Seri Syed Hamid Albar.


(police also unsafe...what has become of this
country of mine)


In a written reply to Dr Lo’ Lo’ Mohamad Ghazali (PAS-Titiwangsa), Syed
Hamid said the beat base was located in a dirty
area where there was a possibility of being exposed to contagious diseases.


(DIRTY area...than clean it up laa)


The presence of criminals also posed a threat to the safety of police
officers, he said.


(who is chasing who? police chase criminals or
criminal chase police?) the rest you read laa, and make your own assumption..make malaysian police more MALU olready, now this..aisyemen...


Lo’ Lo’ had asked why the beat base on Jalan Haji Taib was closed
considering the high number of vice-related activities in the area, as well
as what kind action had been taken by the police to curb such activities.


Syed Hamid said that the police were looking for a new location to build
a police beat base that would be able to give “guaranteed and continued
service to the public.”


Lo’ Lo’s was the 30th question in the Order Paper and hence did not get a
mention in the House during the daily one-hour Question Time. However, Dr
Mohd Hatta Ramli (PAS-Kuala Krai) managed to raise it when he interjected
during Azmin Ali’s (PKR-Gombak) speech during the debate on Budget 2009.


Dr Mohd Hatta said that if the police themselves felt unsafe in a beat
base, then it would be even worse for the public.


“The minister has to resign if he is worried about the safety of police
in that area. Maybe it would be better to put the beat base in army
barracks,” he said.


Dr Mohd Hatta then managed to raise the issue again during his own debate
on Budget 2009 saying that Syed Ali’s response was not rational.


“The police are there to make a place safe. If they themselves are scared
and run away, then how can we hope for others to want to be there?


“It is embarassing and that is why the criminals will always be there,”
he said.


Dr Mohd Hatta said if the place is dirty, then it is up to the police to
organise gotong-royong activities to clean it up or if they did not want to
then they should move to Putrajaya or Parliament.


“And what is this about contagious diseases on Jalan Haji Taib? The only
kind of contagious diseases that are present there are sexually-transmitted
ones.


“Is the minister scared that his charges will contract such diseases?
That kind of thing is a matter of choice. In any case, if this is what he is
worried about then we are worried that the police are not above this.”


Dr Mohd Hatta added that the police had to be brave people and that they
were a different breed altogether when facing demonstrators. He said he
hoped that the minister would clarify his written answer in the House as
this is not the kind of police that the people want.



in conclusion, Malaysia is in need of brave police officers... so calling
all out there, if you are brave, because our current police force is no
longer brave enough (my understanding from what the minister said).. no hard
feeling to officers, i sugeest you stand up and be counted, we dont want
your leaders to be a chicken, it makes you look bad..real bad..
