Polis Raja Di Malaysia

From Wong Chun Wai, (The Star, April 6, Pg N6):

A clean and upright police force is a long-term process but for the change to begin, the police must be prepared to accept feedback – of the good, bad and ugly sort. They should not take criticism as personal attacks but in a constructive way.

For the time being, the police force must realise that until they earn their stripes, so to speak, from the people, they would be regarded as officers with no honour. They should be the Polis DiRaja Malaysia, not Polis Raja Di Malaysia.

Good pun that I have heard in warung kopi and taxicabs.

why no mention of speed up IPCMC? Talk only No Action (NATO) is like "Tokkok". So cut the crap, implement IPCMC without delay and prejudice!

I agree with Datuk Wong Chun Wai’s viewpoints:

“For the good of the police force, our men and women in uniform must be respected. We want to respect them and we want them to be respected because they have dedicated their lives to protect us.

We realise that there are politicians and activists, with their own agendas, who look for every excuse to tarnish the police’s credibility, but our leaders and police must sit up and listen when ordinary citizens talk about their unhappiness openly.”

I remember that I only started to comment in this blog during the height of the ear-squat controversy. I wrote in support of the police – in spite of what my family had suffered at the hands of the police.

All because my family believes that you cannot ask the police to change if you tear their dignity to shreds.

The Malaysian Police is indeed DIRAJA in Malaysia. That is the only institution in the country that when they ask you to strip, you strip. They ask to do to ear squats like primary school students, you shall do. They like heads shave, you will have your heads shaven.

We don;t need a constituitional monarchy in this country as it is powerless and waste of money. It seems that the real power rests with the police in this country.

malaysian cops cannot be blamed for some of their actions. We have to consider their safety as a paramount factor while they are carrying out their duties. when u look at cops in other parts of the world - the Americans for one, the malaysian cops are good.
If u expect them to stick too much to the rules of the game, who will guarantee their safety in the process of maintaining law & order?
Give them a break!
