The Man with the Blue Uniform

ladies and gentleman,

first of all before you read further it is important to know that i am not taking any sides in the posting of this article, if you think i am, please feel free to press the lil X thing on the upper right hand sight of the window, easier still alt f4 je....

see the malaysian police force has in recent days taken a lot of stick for unfortunate events that has taken place throughout the country. It is very unfortunate, but then again it is not right to blame the entire police force. It is important to understand that the police force is out there to protect us, having said that i also believe that the malaysian police force has done a very good job in bringing down the crime level in the country. It was very much higher last year compared to this year, the improvement is indeed a very significant one, and one that assures us that police is going around and doing their job rather than spending their time drinking teh tarik.....

there are circumstances where police officers have been shot, injured and killed in the line of duty. I believe we in general has taken the police force for granted, not thanking them enough and not giving them the credentials that they truly deserve....a very hardworking police man out there who is probably earning around 1000 per month and have to make sure that he does not get killed and at the same time have to look out for MACC who is doing a good job to make sure that he don't collect RM50 bribe's.

He goes home and he has a family to feed, and what happens if one day this same hardworking police man is shot and killed just because he did not draw his gun fast enough to shoot the other party. What happens then? we all say our sorries and move on??? is there any inquiries? no, nothing is done. The police force will probably hunt down the culprit or if it fails then the other party has just walked away freely after committing a serious crime. This man was out there to make sure that people like you and me, could sleep peacefully at night....therefore it is our duty not to draw a conclusion on anything that is not yet concrete and not to blame the whole police force for some bad apples that exist among them. Think about it, if the police force are asleep at night, will you be able to sleep? can you guarantee the safety of your family, of your house, of your belongings?

i think it is generally important for all of us to be in an environment where there is better understanding and a mutual trust among the citizens and the police force, only then unwanted incidents can be further prevented. We as ordinary citizens should also take more proactive measures, dont just fucking say tak tau when the police officer comes around asking you for information......cooperate, you might not know when you might just need them...
