I wrote about robbery in relative’s house last week. And what I read in papers this week? Policemen busy catching people riding bicycles! Aiyo! Are they filming some sort of comedy here?
JERIT (Jaringan Rakyat Tertindas) is running a “People Riding for Change” expedition, which had 65 participants, which is to stop over in Kedah, Penang, Perak and Selangor before proceeding to Parliament House to hand over a people’s claim to the government. They have harassed by police since day one. Don’t the police have anything better to do? If the crime in those states are under control, why not send those cops to Bukit Antarabangsa to help out the landslide victims?
I think the police are becoming fodder for tea time jokes. Hopefully they can clean up their image by chasing after mat rempits instead of harassing bicyclists. Just assign few men to monitor or cycle along (!) cukup la. Deploy others in public areas, flood prone areas, or send them to Bukit Antarabangsa la.
This JERIT people should have applied to state government for official support and request for police outriders. Then it will be correct – police assisting the public.
