Why should Guan Eng apologise for running down a fellow chief minister of the Johor state with regards to the high crime rate as compared to Penang state ? Johore is notorious for broad-daylight criminal activities, no ?Frankly all chief ministers should be ashamed of themselves if they cannot give an order to the police in their respective state to do their job as guardians of the law and instill in their dumb heads who actually pays their salaries each month. And more importantly it is the police who are the real shameless free-loaders who collect their wages monthly of the tax-payers hard earned ringgits and sit on their ass waiting for directives from their UMNO masters to disrupt and make arrests at any civil society activity as long as it has not got the BN's blessing, right ?
So if CM Lim Guan Eng had indeed criticised the alarming state of criminal activities in Johor, at least he's got balls to criticise his fellow CMs instead of covering their asses in a "adik-beradik" fashion.
This country has gone crazy where crime is concerned as snatch-thieves, muggers, burglars and mat-rempits boldly RULE the streets in any given state and town ! Shouldn't the police be blamed entirely for all the mess ?? I certainly will put the blame squarely on the totally lazy attitude of these trigger-happy government servants in blue who abuse their powers absolutely and throw the blame on uncooperative citizens for not "tipping" them off to solve petty and neighbourhood crimes effectively. Seeing why we need to live in a gated or "caged" neighbourhood explains, yes ?
But if it concerns a big-shot "datuk" or any BN napoleon living in a fancy address who lodges a police report, you can be sure these boys-in-blue will come running instantly to the doorsteps to take reports or round up a few suspects immediately and throw the book on them and complete the investigations within a day or so and case solved and closed.
Funny how we have all read so many times and on so many different months and years apart in the papers of a certain "mamak" gang being completely wiped-out. And year after year they have wiped-out the same gang and closed the case. Mamak gang has clones, perhaps ?
Now back to that "bad-mouthing" remarks of Guan Eng.....chief ministers, like all other government servants should be given incentives and rewards for daring to finger a fellow chief minister without fear and favour. That is the only way to go in a civil society as they too are duty-bound and answerable to the tax-paying citizens as only in a civilised state can the citizens be free to walk the streets without fear of snatch-thieves, muggers and mat-rempits.
Way to go Guan Eng.... the citizens and especially the tourists in Penang are more free to venture out further without fear of these scumbag snatch-thieves,muggers and mat-rempits any time of day ! The police in Penang are maybe a bit more "citizen conscious" and patrol the streets then their counter-parts everywhere else who are hiding behind bushes to catch speeding motorists and cell-phone using drivers to "negotiate" their offenses !
And that is a crying shame and the glaring truth folks, trust me !

I dare not walk alone in a Johore Baru street at night. In Penang I feel safer. In Malaysia, you get crucified if you tell the truth. Just ask Guan Eng. If you lie and suck up to Umno, you are rewarded handsomely. Tiuniamahkasifat.
brinkka2011 says: This was a genuinely extremely beneficial post. In theory I'd like to write like this also getting time and actual effort to make a good piece of writing but what can I say I procrastinate alot and by no means appear to obtain anything done.
Most times truth hurts. From what we read in the newspaper, there are many complaints from Singaporean about the crime rates in Johor. It is better to admit our mistake and improve the situation. It will not get better if we are in self denial and defensive. Politician are always criticising one another.
The Truth, Have You Noticed?
In the old days, we put criminals behind high walls and iron bars while the good guys walk free.
Nowadays,we stay behind high walls and iron bars while the criminals walk free!
The Johor sultan has the nerve to say he is deeply hurt by LGE's remarks.
Hey! he lives in a palace, what does he knows about crimes on the streets? And he lives off tax payers money too, just like the mata mata he rules over.
