Where are the police when we need them? This is a statement that is often repeated by people. The police have always used the excuse that there are not enough resources.But somehow they will have will have more than enough resources when there are demonstrations in Kuala Lumpur. Like the report in Malaysiakini where about 100 uniformed police personnel are presently patrolling around the KLCC area in anticipation of a banned rally organised by the Coalition Against Inflation (Protes).
Read the Malaysiakini report here.
If the police show the same determination and enthusiasm towards demonstrators as they are towards fighting crime than definitely the crime rate will be lowered. Though it is to be admitted that we need more people in the police force, the police must however get their priorities right with the limited resources that they have.
Catching the real criminals like the rapist, snatch thieves, robbers, kidnappers should be their priority and not preventing and arresting those who would want to have their voices heard through demonstrations.
