Another victim of a snatch thief in Kuantan. Ng Chiew Lim , a 25 year old sales girl was pushed down a stairway by a snatch thief in a shopping mall on Sunday. She succumbed to head injuries without regaining consciousness the next day.
On the 29th of July two robbers on a motorcycle attacked the first-year Tunku Abdul Rahman College (KTAR) accountancy student when he was walking back to his hostel with a friend after having dinner nearby and hacked him to death.
The police have responded with this plan to set up a number of CCTV's(closed circuit television) in and around Kuala Lumpur. A total of 255 of these cameras currently only used to man traffic in the city will soon be helping police fight rising crime. Known as the Integrated Transport Information System (Itis), it has already helped the force to solve vehicle thefts, robberies, kidnap and murder cases. The RM365mil system assumed the crime-fighting role when police requested for help from the company which managed the system.
I think it is good that the police are using any means available to them to fight crime. But I think they should not be overly dependent on these electronic gadgets. They should get back to basics of patroling these areas to prevent crime rather than trying to solve them after they have been committed using high tech equipment.
