Improve police measures against crime
DAP National Deputy Chairman and MP for Kepong Dr Tan Seng Giaw presses the police to improve the measures against crime such as robbery, stealing and snatch-thieving. These are necessary to protect the public.
Meanwhile, the people must cooperate and use preventive measures against crime.
Dr Tan issues the statement on 24.12.2008, Boxing Day, after receiving complaints about robbery including a few houses having been robbed by attackers wielding parangs in Jinjang North last night.
Malaysia faces problems of security. The crime rate in the country is serious and the people are unhappy. Next year, the economic slowdown will be worse and crime will increase.
Last night, robbers terrified residents in Jinjang North. The police has detained a robber of Chinese descent.
We have contacted the OCPD of Sentul District. Next week, we shall meet to discuss the ways for the people and the police to cooperate against crime.
We have often debated the crime issue in Parliament, reminding the Government of the need to take effective action to tackle the problem.
When residents such as those in Kepong Baru remind the police of the activities of criminals, the latter increase their efforts and relative peace is restored. Then, crime rate goes up in other places. After the police shift the attention to other polices, crime returns to Kepong Baru. Such is the pattern.
The population of Malaysia is 25 million. It seems that there are 161 prisoners per 100,000. This is serious. We hope the Government announce the true crime rate.
The causes of crime include unemployment, parental neglect and illegal immigrants. The people must try to understand these causes, if possible.
The police have a heavy resposibility. Now, the force is about 80,000, or it is also quoted as 90,000. It may not be able to cope with everything. Let us hope that by 2012, the strength will increase to 150,000. In the meantime, the police must have better measures against crime.

YB Dr. Tan,
We anak Malaysia should together prevent the crime, but can police give the full support to us?
House robbery, house breaking, snatch robber, car robber & etc, this seem normal for us. This either happen in anak Malaysia themselves or their friends. I can say most of our friends have this bad experience before.
More worst is that, when we do the necessary police report, do the police take thorough investigation action against every reports?
I do appreciate some of the policeman really perform their duties and take every step to prevent crime.
Do police come out a standard working procedure, such as if a person call to police how long will they arrive the scene? If they do not arrive at the time frame, what action will be take?
Increase police workforce is great but we should also increase the quality.
Government should also well reward the police, as their work is danger & tough.
Merry X'mas & Happy New Year!!!

THE DAWN OF A NEW MALAYSIA
I think better when I can't sleep and I am sleepless tonight and so here is an idea and indeed
a prediction that the politics of Dato Seri Anwar is absolutely on the right path and the end
for racial politics will at last see the light of dawn. My analysis is so clear that I will share my
thoughts with those who will read this article.
I want to believe and I think I am right to believe that Dato Seri Ahmad Bedawi has already
defeated Tun Mahatir Mohd. and I can say now with certainty that PM Bedawi is even as we
speak, AT THE STEERING WHEEL OF BARISAN NATIONAL AND WILL AFTER MARCH STAY ON AS
PRIME MINISTER AND SEE THROUGH HIS FULL TERM, and Najib will be President of UMNO. I
make this daring prediction on 2 counts (a)the candidate for the KT by-election is said to be a
Bedawi MAN (2)Myhiddin is now faced off against a second rival (it does not matter who this
2nd candidate is, but it is only relevant that he just cannot be a Mahatir MAN.
I make this prediction on the assumption that KT by-election will be won by the BN
candidate; and I think it will. It is important for my analysis and indeed my strategic thinking
that PAS loose this election because from my perspective PAS is what UMNO is, A RACE
ORIENTED POLITICAL PARTY that has thrived on divisiveness split along racial lines; and a
style of politics that has caused TOO MUCH UNHAPPINESS AND SET BACK MALAYSIA'S
PROGRESS 1/2 A CENTURY.
Why do I say that Dato Seri Anwar is on the right track is because he has come to realise that
racial politics has already had it day and has expired on the shelf. I have to make it very clear
that I have never ever met Dato Seri Anwar and what I say has nothing to do with what he
wants nor even that he even knows what I am now saying. My analysis is based on the
inevitability of the events as they unfold on the ground. It is obvious that the by-election of
the KT seat is a PROXY WAR between the forces of Mahatir vs. AAB because it has not escaped
observers that there is a fight for control of the BN electoral machine between mukhriz vs
khairy and it has also not lost on us as observers that khairy has won out against mokhriz.
Therefore, if BN wins KT this honor for the BN victory will go to Khairy and with that the
Presidenct of UMNO youth. If I have a say in opposition politics (which I do not) I will put my
support (behind the scene of course) for the BN to win, because a win for BN will ensure that
PM Bedawi remains at his office for the rest of his term, and since it is the perception of most
Malaysians that PM Bedawi is weak, it will be to the advantage of Pakatan to fight the next
election against Bedawi than to fight A RESURGENT UMNO. Therefore it is good strategy for
Pakatan to remove PAS from their side at a time when PAS removal will pose no disadvantage
to the PAKATAN. The influence of PAS is OLD POLITICS AND IT IS BAD POLITICS BECAUSE IT IS
RACIAL POLITICS. The people of Malaysia has awakened to the realisation that racial politics
has retarded their progress and IT IS POLITICS THAT HAS CAUSED TOO MUCH UNHAPPINESS.
Having argued my case on the above basis, has the PAKATAN the daring and panash to do
what is to my thinking is the obvious thing to do to finally ween ourselves off the politics of
DIVISIVENESS AND EMBARK ON THE POSITIVES OR WIN--WIN--WIN politics of EQUAL
CITIZENSHIP FOR ALL MALAYSIANS. If this is the aim of PAKATAN then progress and grow
strong without PAS; they are old politics and they have no reason to exist if they become
moderates; WHAT THE F..KS CHOPPING HANDS AND STONING TO DEATH OF ANY KIND AND
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES IS BLOODY ABOMINATION.
I say it is inevitable for PAKATAN to win the next election because it has taken 50 years to
convince sufficient Malays to vote PAKATAN and pose a meaningful threat to the dominance
of UMNO politics, and from here to a VICTORY FOR PAKATAN IS JUST A STONE'S THROW
AWAY. THE MOMENTUM IS ON THE RISE FOR PAKATAN WITHOUT OLD STYLE POLITICS OF PAS.
I wish also to remind PAKATAN that the Chinese vote bank of 24% is worth more than the
unwanted support of PAS. I have always argued that the Chinese should push their weight as
SWING VOTERS AND THAT TO BE SWING VOTERS WE NEED TO BEGIN TO WING THE
PENDULANT AND THAT IS POSSIBLE ONLY IF WE VOTED FOR THE OPPOSITION. How can there
be swing if there is no movement ?
