No copper in sight !

Where have all the coppers gone ?? Crime rate is soaring to dizzying heights in the city and in the suburbs but what is being done ?? I have decided that we must have the laziest police force in the world, right ?? Read here .

The police are nowhere to be seen and are only seem to be seen at "mamak" stalls at any time of day ! They must be the hungriest people doing nothing all day and yet are positioned for better pay ( to counter bribe taking ) , better housing, better allowance, better uniforms, better working hours, better working conditions and better cooperation from us tax-paying citizens !! Why ? Just why do we need to give them all the "better this and that" mentioned above just so they can sit on their bottoms and demand for more ??

Equipped with this knowledge is what makes all those psychos and snatch thieves in our neighbourhood so daring ! Knowing the police are nowhere nearby and it takes a good 30 minutes before they get their arses to the crime scene !

Snatch thefts are the most common of crimes and the easiest to get away scott-free and these thieves are getting more bold as to even break windows of cars and grab handbags of the victim ( especially lone lady drivers) at road junctions ! Now if we had foot-patrol and policemen on motor-bikes patrolling vigilantly at all parts and all day long instead of in patrol-cars.......snatch thieves on motor-bikes would not brazenly commit such vile acts.... right ? See a thief on a motor-bike can easily escape into small lanes or into "no entry" roads to shake-off an ensuing patrol-car ! And don't give me that lame-duck excuse of not having enough man-power....I've seen hundreds and hundreds of police personnel sent religiously to cordon peaceful marches and ceremas organised by harmless citizens for no apparent reason !

Mr IGP sir, get off your butt and your high horse and send your men out on motorbikes everywhere in and around the city and make my home a safer place ! Otherwise get out !
It is your job to rid the nation clean of thieves and give every citizen a feeling of security as we walk down any street in the country !

I once called the local police station to ask why I had not seen any patrol car cruising in my neighbourhood at night and the reply was "Dia orang muda dan baru, malas nak patrol lah encik..... saya operator saja !" (they were young and new and were lazy to patrol, sir,.... I'm only an operator !!) Can you imagine that ?

Now you know why the crime rate is soaring ??

Fish,
Let me ask you and your readers a question....

What comes to your mind when you see some cops standing by the roadside under the cover of shade with his book out?
a.Do you think he is actually doing his duty?
b. Do you think he is waiting to pounce on the first person who has broken the law like 'not waering his belt' or using the handphone, so that he can actually write the motorist a ticket?
c.The same as b except that he will tell the motorist that there is an easier way out via duit kopi?
I can bet my last dollar that 8 out of 10 will go with c......

My6 bro and I was stopped in a traffic operations some weeks back, wher about 10 poliement actually block off the whole highway (MRR2) so that they can summon those speeding. Knowing that it was a stretch of road wher these coppers operate, we slowed down to 70 in an 80kmp zone.
Guess what, they still flagged us down, and said that we travelled 95kmh! We sniggered when he told us that and he did a walkaround the vehicle before stopping at the windscreen to 'unspect' our road tax, and then said that he will let us off this time!
I can tell you I was pissed off, and what I will do next will see some of them explaining themselves .......
But hey! our boys in blue, are really extortionist of the legal kind......btw, why do we need so many traffic cops?

Well fully agree to "Muststopthis" Sure most have been driving or as passenger in the Pearl of The Orient(Penang) IT IS THE WORST in terms of traffic offenders- correct me if I am wrong. Here motorcyclist never observe any traffic rules ie,stopping at pedestrian crossing, traffic light junctions,one way streets,yellow boxes,never give way to ambulance,911 (only f/engines wins due to their mammoth size presume) an other good one is that m/cyclist can talk on their handphone while riding and not breaking the law bcos they can place the h/p between the ears and helmet - so you see m/cyclist talking to themselves Actually its a pity at times that the young teens landing into hospitals or even becoming angels, this is bcos monkey sees monkey do,the old die hard habits prevail.The only solution to address is that our boys in BLUE buck up and for their effort results goes either way-yours or mine. The only significant presents are the Highway Patrol team every day in and around expressway cos they are 70km/j easy lah of course.
Just imagine have they ever thought if it can also happen to their immediate/distant loved ones and carried forward to the next generation called SELFISH ACT.

gee, another favourite spot for the cops to "catch speedsters" is along bukit kiara, just opposite selangor club. they even did it at night.
never seen such hardworking cops, and most of the time no less than pack of 8.
guys, beware of the "speed trap" there.
