Police Efficiency

It's a feather in the IGP's cap as it was reported that the police took only nine hours to crack the Saturday night jewellery heist at the Subang Parade shopping mall. That's a job well done. The next step the IGP should take is to send some of those efficient police officers to tackle the snatch theft problem that is still rampant in all the states.

These punks are not working in the dark. They are doing it in broad daylight and sometimes in busy areas. I am sure these officers can come with a plan to nab these scoundrels. It only takes a few success stories which will be highlighted in the papers to act as deterent for the other crooks. As they say, 'Justice must not only be done, but must be seen to be done.'

These robbers prey on defenseless people causing bodily harm and sometimes even death. It is time the police took a more serious look at these crimes even though they may not look so glamourous. Neverthless they are criminal acts and many lives have been lost even though the financial losses are small.

If the IGP can solve this problem which affects the people on the street, I am sure a lot of people will feel safer to go out in Malaysia and he will not only receive accolades from the PM but from all the 'rakyaat'!
