Berkhidmat untuk Negara

In Johor Baru, two protesters who took part in an "illegal" street assembly were detained soon after it ended. Isn't 4 persons or more gathered in public 'illegal'? This was reported today in the Star.

How can a gathering of around 1,000 citizens, peacefully, carrying placards, expressing their concern for their safety and for the increase of police surveillance in their vicinity, be "taking the law in their own hands"?.... when its the police who are always complaining that, there is no co-operation and support from the tax-paying citizens ? And this included many former snatch-theft victims, appealing (though it should "be DEMANDING") for more police patrols, after an 18 year old, part-time student and salesgirl, Chang Shu Chen, was robbed and murdered in broad daylight !

For all the wrong reasons, the police are always on the defensive, if their laziness is high-lighted by anyone, most especially by law-abiding and tax-paying citizens !
For a cause such as this, it should be the police, who should be hauled up for questioning for "non-presence," by the citizens !!

Majulah Polis-" berkhidmat untuk negera"!!
