The recent outbreak at Low Yat Plaza certainly reminds people that the very ill problem that has been existing in the Royal Malaysia Police Force for decades.
The sparks went beyond control when a group of uncivilised gangsters who smashed a mobile phone shop located in Low Yat Plaza on Saturday, due to being alleged that the said retailer sold the AP mobile phone to one of the gangsters. However, the allegation is rubbished and rebutted when the retailer disclosed the CCTV footage, which shows that the gangster is caught red-handed while attempting to steal a mobile phone from the said shop. Although the truth is clear cut, you will always see the plot being twisted.
The story that continues is now known by every people in Malaysia - the gangsters went back and smashed the shop, brutally hit the salesmen there in order to "express" their dissatisfaction. The saga further continues that the Low Yat Plaza is surrounded by the crowds at night on that day, where all of them were in high morale. At that point of time, not many policemen were deployed and only few Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) polices were spotted.
The incident turned nasty when it ended up several public members - such as reporters from the press are beaten up on Sunday. The said Plaza was force to shorten their business hour in order to avoid any unforeseeable (maybe planned) situation.
If you have been following this news, you might now get what I am trying to say without pointing to the obvious. Some of you might even were in the similar scenario - but you were treated differently. You might have been beaten by the FRU members with baton and shield, water canon with chemicals were sprayed on you, and you might have tasted the tear gas that almost got you suffocated.
All people of Malaysia are governed by the same legislation regarding to the assembly and demonstration, as one of the laws is the highly criticised Public Assembly Act 2012.
You would hear the same old stories when the head of our police force in Malaysia who tells you again and again that our current law is not enough to deal with all criminal situation or emergency incident. I highly doubt that.
Too bad that we have an IGP who always tweets any statement - instead of holding a formal press conference which supposed to be supported by reliable statistic, expert opinion or public comments.
I am nobody, yet I am a Malaysian who refuses to tolerate any more selective enforcement, as I have shut my eyes for too many things that are not supposed to happen in this nation. If I were charged under Sedition Act, it would just prove the renowned theory - that when you hit them hard, they will try to shut you down.
If I were really charged, you can see a clearer picture on how the Malaysia Police force treats the people of this nation differently, where the crowds who bring imminent threat to our public safety are ignored and went back home safe and sound, and where the one guy who sit in front of a laptop and type all his frustration out toward our unprofessional police force is treated as exciting the disaffection to the public.
I urge that the reform of Police force Malaysia is to undergo immediately - or else we will see our country run by the villains (or it happened long time ago - and it continues).
