snatch thefts victims told to RETRACT police reports?!?...

since aab came on as the pm.... crime rates are increasing very steadily!...

think they are DESPERATE to reduce/'solve' every case possible now, after the pressure being put on by various parties... esp, crime in jb...

if this report is found to be true, it's absolutely pathetic, no 2 ways about it...

police are supposed to protect the citizens, be it local or foreign... whether possible or impossible to solve, that's a different story altogether...

taking reports, investigating, solving, etc... all these are basic duties of the police force!.. gosh!... since when they have got a new duty, which is to ask victims to retract their respective police reports made?!?...

50 years into independence... where are malaysia really heading towards?!?...


p/s ; tks for all the pm, you know who you are... those kinda pm is one of the many encouragements which keeps me going through the day...







Snatch theft victims won’t retract reports

FOUR snatch theft victims alleged that the Johor Baru police asked them to withdraw their police reports, as the chances of solving the cases are almost impossible, China Press reported.

The victims, from Hong Kong, China and Singapore, were holidaying in Johor Baru when two snatch thieves on a motorcycle grabbed one of the victims’ handbags while waiting for a bus to Singapore.

The incident took place on Saturday after they had lunch in the city.

The four lost their passports and RM800.

When the victims lodged their reports at the Johor Baru police headquarters, they were told to withdraw the reports after being questioned for three hours.

“The police said it would be cumbersome for us to fly back here to identify the suspects if they are caught later,” one of the victims was quoted in the report. However, the four did not withdraw their reports as suggested.

> Sin Chew Daily reported that foreign companies preferred to hire Malaysians who were fluent in Mandarin to work for them in China.

Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar said that Malaysians who were multilingual had no problem communicating with the Chinese.
