Malaysian Law Enforcers, A Blessing Or A CURSE?

Malaysian Law Enforcers, A Blessing Or A CURSE?

Note: Everything I write here depicts the truth through personal experience and documented proofs.

I am a Malaysian citizen, most of the time, I am not sure if I should be proud about carrying the “Malaysian” name of mine around the world. We have been a joke in the international scene, don’t believe me? Watch this:

10th November 2007

24th November 2007

Tear Gas in a democratic country, yes sir, very much for the freedom of speech! Indeed a great start.

Road Blocks

That said, whenever there is an event that will cause the current ruling party a lil trouble, the big bosses in the cabinet will give orders to the Law Enforcers to set up a few road blocks around the city, road blocks not to check for road offenders or criminals, but to literally block the road. In a recent state election, prediction was said that the major ruling party will again loose more votes.

Being desperate, they assembled a team of policemen and got a few road blocks set up on most roads that are leading out of the city, and this caused a major lock-up on the city’s traffic. As un-inteligent as it might be, the enforcers closed up 1 lane on a 3 lane expressway, we all thought that they would have done a lil more, eg. random checks. Well nope, only cones were placed on the road and the chaps were having a good time keeping us jammed at bay.

An unnecessary 4km grid lock, I pity those (including me) that are leaving the city. So, I do wonder, were they set there to search for “dangerous people” or were they just there to keep people at bay?

Police Patrol Car

Now, I am a proud man to say that the Royal Malaysian Police Force has finally added a fleet of really tangy patrol cars, needless to say more, it’s the Mitsubishi EVO X (dubbed Helang). The Helang is currently used in high-speed car chases, carjacking, kidnapping, hijacking and escort to the VIP’s. Heck of a job eh? The Helang pack some serious power under the hood and only trained units of the Royal Malaysian Police are allowed to pilot the car. Then again, what sort of training?

Here I have a video of a single Helang Patrol Car having fun on the road with a Honda.

What does that say? I don’t see any car chases, no car jacking, no kidnapping, no hijacking, and it’s not even escorting anyone. This is something extra yes? I call it street racing, thought that was illegal.

Where are the boys in blue when we need them? Well, they are busy blocking the roads and racing with some random ricers on the road. No wonder the crime rate in Malaysia is increasing by 10 folds. I am getting really worried.

Public Rage

I came across this video a couple weeks back, I am unsure about what happened on the event, the anxious me took a couple hours to analyze the video to see what’s going on. I noticed 2 things that were taking place in this event. First, a bunch of en-raged men attacking a helpless wounded man. Secondly, the Royal Malaysian Police were doing nothing about it, but just by being a mere by-stander enjoying the scene. Watch and enlighten yourselves:

All they did was stand, watch and shout stop. Poor guy.

Self Experience

I am a frequent roadblock visitor, I have been stop countless times and have also been stop by a patrol policemen. Just last week, I was stopped on an expressway, I was accused for speeding. Was i? That’s the question. I stuck my foot and eyes to make sure that I was traveling 10km/h below the allowed speed, I was very sure with that. Mr. Policeman came to me and said that I was traveling way beyond the allowed speed, 60km/h extra, atrocious claim. I asked for proof and Mr. Policeman said, “there is no need for proof, you can trust me, I am never wrong”. Indeed, you are never wrong with self denial sir!

He took my ID and Drivers License and went back to his vehicle, the next moment his partner came up back to my car and started searching. Searching for a dead body perhaps? Sorry, they are all in the morgue.

After failing to find faults, Mr. Policeman 1 return to me and asked me for my drivers license (which he took earlier). Fascinating yes? I should have done a full video recording of this and have it nominated for the next International Movie Awards. This time, he misplaced my drivers license and told me that he never seen it. I was about to show him all i’ve recorded (voice), and told him that everything recorded will be sent back to the main headquarters for investigation, and voila, Mr. Policeman 2 presented me my drivers license.

Here we have a simple case of how the Malaysian Police work:

  • Spending unnecessary time looking for faults
  • Principles are based on corruption
  • Always thinking that they are the king

Corruption

I found a few videos online, corruption at it’s best with the Royal Malaysian Police

A simple example of a Policeman trying to get every penny from a civilian

Another event of corruption, the whole process was under a minute

Conclusion

Nothing left to say, I am tired, tired of all the bull-shit that are happening around me. I feel unsafe leaving the comforts of my home. Our national guards? I think we should all be afraid of them instead of the real criminals. Ask yourself this question, is the Royal Malaysian Police Force a blessing or a curse to us Malaysians. I should be packing my bags right this moment.
