Operations against all forms of crimes, not just illegal motorcycle racers.

Mount huge operations against all criminal activities including snatch robberies and break-ins.

DAP National Deputy Chairman and MP for Kepong Dr Tan Seng Giaw urges the police to launch big operations against all crimes with the cooperation of the people.

This is an effective way to overcome the dilemma of Malaysians facing various criminal activities in the country.

Dr Tan notes that the Senior Assistant Commissioner II Nooryah Mohd Anvar stated yesterday that the police was determined to launch large operations against illegal motorcycle racers, mat rempit. Some also attack, injure and rob motorists.

For example, the police should investigate the following allegation: during the rush hour at 6.30 pm on 14 September, 2006, five mat rempits were said to attack a car at sixth mile Kepong Road, Jinjang, injured two motorists and robbed them of their things. These victims in their early 20s complained that the Jinjang police took their sweet time to arrive at the scene after having been informed of the crime. By that time the criminals had gone. When they lodged two police reports on the incident, some personnel were kind, but occasional ones such as an inspector were rude, using unprintable language. The police must improve its image. It must learn to love the people.

Besides big operation against illegal racers, the police should also mount operations to tackle other crimes such as snatch robberies, break-ins, rapes, kidnaps and murders. Because of various factors like the lack of personnel, the police appear helpless.

It is true that the incidence of crimes in other places such as Washington is far worse than that in Malaysia. But then, we should compare with places having relatively better security such as Melbourne.

The 2007 budget allocates RM4.9 billion to increase the efficiency of police. Hence, we would like the police to launch effective operations against all forms of crimes. Let the people feel better and safer.
