Yesterday my aunt’s house was broken into, somewhere around lunch as she was away. The thieves broke the back entrance grill. Nothing much was lost as they did not search properly. However, she had to go to police station to make a report. Two policemen came, took some photos and left. Nothing much to hope for.
The worst happened after that. My aunts neighbors came (7 people – 4 adults, 2 teens, 1 child) a few times to the house to console her and help to send her to police station. My aunt told these people (rather stupidly, but she suspect kena pukau) that her jewellery was safe, and EVEN SHOWED IT TO THEM. Well, guess what happened? A box of jeweleries worth tens of thousands disappeared! Only suspects – the neighbors.
Policemen suggests that talk to neighbor to settle this problem, because if make police report will become a big case, plus my aunt staying alone – may not be safe with angry neighbor. My aunt talk to the neighbor, but the lady denied any knowledge. A painful lesson indeed!
When another aunt’s apartment was broken into last year, the policemen themselves stole some stuff! She really regretted making police report – waste time at police station for hours, no positive outcome.
Her neighbor was asked to pay RM200 duit kopi to speed up investigations by the police when his house was broken into around the same time.
Yeah, our crime rates statistics can be polished and presented in such a way that its better than Japan or Hong Kong. Like we really believe everything you say.
Just ask anyone on the street, what they think about the crime rate. Look at crime like rape, snatch thieves, armed robbery, murder, assault, hit and run, gangfights, mat rempit. Everyday reported in papers.
Years ago when my wallet was stolen at home, the policeman asked to report as “tercicir” (dropped/misplaced”) so that can close case easily, besides the fact that most likely cannot find the culprit (suspected the youth who came house to house selling incense sticks). So, how many crimes are misreported or not reported at all?
you guys still believe in local statistics ? I dont trust such …as well as MSM and ruling politicians ‘jam-tat’ talks .
Similar issue arose when these statistics claimed Johor has pretty less crime . Try blend with the ppl there if wanna know facts .
Pukau ? :-O
