While the public was increasingly worried by the rise in crime, statistics however showed that the crime rate in Malaysia was far lower than Japan and Hong Kong, said Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak
What the @%!% is Najib talking about. I've been living in Hong Kong for the past 2 months. I've never felt need to worry about pick pocket's or muggers. I never felt the need to worry about snatch thieves or robbers. The cops here walk among the peoples and are not corrupted. The cops here are taller than me and I'm about 6 feet. They look intimidating and having them walk around in crowded places like any other shoppers but in their uniform makes the atmosphere feel really safe.
My Parents came to visit me a few weeks back. They took the public service transport while i was at work. I had no worries at all about their safety. I even see lesser accidents here compared to Singapore. Public transport is efficient. You don't have taxi drivers trying to con you. Same as in Singapore. They are all metered and well maintained. The condition of the taxi's in Malaysia itself is concerning.
Rape and Murder punishment must be taken very seriously in Malaysia. How can one live in a happy environment if we consistently need to worry about our family. Or to come back to a ransacked house. Or to find a mugger just around the corner. Every single person in Malaysia needs to have and Identity card and a finger print record. It's mostly foreign workers who come to Malaysia to earn money but end up loosing their job because of unplanned and un consistent projects in Malaysia. They are not treated properly by their employers. So they flee and join illegal gangs that need men's like this to do all the risky and dangerous jobs. They start small but they quickly catch up. Malaysia is turning into a Hollywood movies like Gangs of New York.
What Najib forgot to include in that statistic were the specific cases. Like Rape, mugging , robbery, corruption and murder is surely much higher in Malaysia compared to Singapore, Japan and Hong Kong. Hong Kong is nothing like how the Chinese Action Gangster movies portray. It is very safe. In Singapore, girls can walk safely to their block at 2am. But in Malaysia it's not safe for a girl after 8pm.
"Based on the statistics given by the police, it indicates that the crime rate in Malaysia is lower than Japan and Hong Kong.
"It is also just slightly higher than Singapore to the basis of per hundred thousand of population... but the perception of the public is not the case," said Najib at a press conference in Parliament after the economic council meeting.
I stopped believing BN's statements, especially those from UMNO, a very very very very long time ago. The BN government, especially those from UMNO has zero credibility. Like the Chinese saying, 'Choy lei too ngong'.
ReplyDeletechoy lei too ngong.. will try to remember that next time.
ReplyDeletethey talk without thinking,did najib leave his brains in the toilet before speakin on crime.what do you expect from a igp who was the I.O. of annuar`s sodomy case and who supersecced all his colleagues
ReplyDeleteFuck u Najib big time.You are so pathetic when u lie..u murderer.
ReplyDeleteCan say it with a straight face summore...must be all the practice he had all these years.
ReplyDeletePetty crime is sure on the rise from many local incidents I witness personally in my area Ampang. The statistic rise but then again politicians prefer to manipulate the figures.
ReplyDeleteI trust if they were to live around us they would know the menace of illegals and petty theft.
I think malaysia crime rate is lower because it is the prorata of the rural and urban's. usually rural areas are safer and low in crimes. it is more precise to compare city to city.
ReplyDeletebtw, pathman, be careful. you have directly regarded our PM-in-waiting as a criminal!!! hope you don't live in malaysia. or else ISA will come to you...
Many many cases go unreported as people have lost confidence that small cases will be solved, hence the stats may show our crime rate tobe lower. Another factor is that all government agencies have a tendency not to report the actual fiqure. All this can contribute to show that crime is lower. So we need to take it with a pinch of salt.
