Barbarians

That was Malay Mail headline on the 10th November 2008. Four innocent people who just happened to be at the scene of a hit and run accident were brutally attacked by mob in Loke Yew. In a City like Kuala Lumpur there are cameras in place. Policemen should be on their rounds doing their job. Monitors are place at traffic lights. So where were the policemen especially the Mat Rempit Police Squad when a crime is happening just round the corner? The Police Station located at Pudu is just five minutes away from Loke Yew.

The answer - at Amcorp and PJ Civic Center. Their interest is the Bersih Anniversary Gathering. The mob that attacked innocent citizens of this country at PJ Civic Center were law enforcement personnel whose job is to stop crime like the one in Loke Yew from happening. But in this country the police does the reverse and allow real crime on the loose as they spend their energy and time on beating and catching law abiding citizens. The Home Minister can laugh and take it as a joke and pretends that he knows nothing about the incident at PJ Civic Center, just like the police personnel in Setapak police station and police base in the Mid Valley Megamall when even reporting a crime is a laughable matter.
