I WAS SO DAMN ANGRY WHEN I READ THIS!!
I was just doing my regular rounds around my friends’ blogs and when I read about Jia Min’s friend’s snatch theft incident at Audree’s blog … I just had to put it out there for all to see!!
It was bad enough that Jia Min’s friend, Meow Fong, was dragged on the ground by the snatch thief for quite abit. LUCKILY SHE DIDN’T KNOCK SOME CURB OR SOME ONCOMING VEHICLE OR SOMETHING.
The only rational thing for them to do is for them to go to the police right? Correct.
So they did.
Do you know that the police asked them to go to ANOTHER police station(Brickfield’s) to make the report?! Then the POLICE at Brickfield’s station “screamed” at the two girls for coming at BUKA PUASA TIME. They asked them to wait for two more hours.
I don’t think they had to wait..but the cheek of them!!!
Then because Jia Min’s BM was quite fluent, one of the policemen called her in to his office to “interview her”. His “questions” were like, “Wah! Awak sangat cantiklah! Ada pak we kah?” and she was also asked to give him her bf’s name so that he can ‘check up on him’.
NYA MA CHAU CHI BAI SANG CHAI MOU SI FAT HAM KA CHAN HAM KA LING.
What the fuck right? WHAT. THE. FUCK.
Hello?? I thought these Ah Moi teasings only come from the lowest of our social strata(read: Indonesian/Bangla construction workers) but aren’t the POLICEMEN supposed to be our HEROES?! AREN’T THEY SUPPOSED TO PROTECT US AND NOT MAKE US FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE?!?!!?!
I’ve met some nice policemen during the times I’ve had to go make police reports(car accident, runaway maids, stolen handphones(they said that i should not bother reporting because it’s no big deal. This was back in 2000. A HANDPHONE WAS A BIG DEAL.), applying for permission to have big social gatherings etc.)…but this….THIS is too much. LOWEST OF THE LOW.
Aud hopes that someone will write to The Star. JIA MIN YOU SHOULD WRITE TO THE STAR. Bloggers are good propogators. So I’m just sharing this bit of disturbing news with my side of the blogosphere.

hi 🙂 i’m one of ur regular readers.
i don’t think writing to The Star or The Sun or NSTP is a good idea. I bet they won’t even publish it. Try writing to Malaysiakini. Anyway, ur fren is considered lucky. http://www.malaysiakini.com/opinionsfeatures/41813. Read this and you will know why.

yuin: what to do? uneducated.
jeremy c: i’ll let the person who really experienced it to write in. i think she’s in the process to do so.
slinky: thanks for spreading. make them smelly..!
narrowband: so many cases like these… very saddening hor?
luzzio: true, true.
juztin: i’m glad that she is alright too. yalar.. how to get uneducated people out of the system?
meldee: yeah.. he’d be discriminated against by the “other policemen” if he stayed on anyway. smart father of urs!
william: that’s because national service brings about people from all walks of life and of various backgrounds. that’s when shit happens. 🙂

Those who are in National Service as Army and Police force are known to be uneducated or have the minimum of basic education. What do you expect of such people?
Like me, I started cussing fluently and learning bad habits. I am glad that the phase is all over. Even now I am planning how do I get myself out of this hell known as Reservist.
I refuse to put myself through such toture again.

OMG!!! this is so fucking stupid.
my dad’s an ex-police officer and he was damn stunned. he said go launch an official report but no guarantees cos they’re a bunch of lazy-ass buggers who’d just wave it aside. this is why my dad’s smart–he quit the force. bravo, dad. AND SCREW YOU, STUPID-ASS POLICEMEN WHO GIVE THE COUNTRY A BAD NAME! there are tons of good cops out there, so pissyfying to hear about jerks like this. poor jia min 🙁

Well had my fair share of experience with cops..But sad to say that in my mind now, cops are pigs..I’m waiting for that to change..But I’m guessing it won’t be anytime soon..Anyway glad to know that your friend is alright..

Just shows that our malaysian urban security enforcers have their heads up their arse.
Smelly public people.

Ok, I’m gonna try to be fair here.
It was an isolated incident, and probably the cops there at that time were the worst of the lot.
But we all know topics like these will make their ways to mamak-stall chats…
It was ugly. Really ugly. I hope someone in the ranks know about this.

Oh my goodness.. Seriously, like WTF wei. First, it was the drug bust that jailed 22 innocents and now this…. I have lost faith in Malaysia’s police force. Retards!! Yeah… spread the news !!

time to take action – write in to the newspaper.
i know it seems insignificant and probably won’t improve the conduct of the police but at least it’ll open up the eyes of the general public. As more ppl become aware, at least one small voice will amplify into the voices of many and hopefully the authorities will then take notice.

dang, the bad side of malaysia is really ugly…

nicktay: now that is damn horrifying. ….shit. nothing ur friend can do about it? cannot report one meh?
willwolf: i’m not the person who encountered it and if Jia Min writes it herself, she’ll be more passionate about it and then something will happen. GO JIA MIN!! Woot!
Willwolf Oct 24, 05 Delete
Eh, why wait for someone when you’re the someone? since you’ve blog it here, might as well write to The Star, The Sun, The New Strait Times or better yet, write to Jeff Ooi la.
