More mobile police stations, patrols & efficiency for security

DAP National Deputy Chairman and MP for Kepong Dr Tan Seng Giaw reiterates that the Home Ministry must have more mobile stations, patrols and efficiency in high crime areas such as Jinjang and Kepong. We need to improve security.

On 11.4.2010, Dr Tan visited Jinjang North, commenting further on the need to enhance the police in addition to pay rises.

Recently, the police have increased patrols in some areas such as Metro Prima in Kepong. This is good. Other areas in the country like Jinjang also require more patrols, especially in Jinjang North where there is a police station--a beautiful one after the rebuliding.We must not allow criminals to have the audacity to commit crimes in front of the police station.

According to Home MInister Datuk Seri Hishamuddin, the national crime index has dropped, such as 20% at the beginning of 2010. Apparently, in the past three years, crime index has gone down 5% every year. We do not know the true meaning of the index. We only hope that there is security for the people.

Last week, I asked about the crime situation of the country in the House, including Jinjang,Kepong,Kuala Lumpur, The Home Office explained that it had put a mobile station and increased patrols in Metro Prima, Kepong, reducing crimes.

More should be done to make it safe for the citizens anywhere in the country. We still have a long way. We need more efficient police personnel, more mobile stations and more patrols.
