MEMORANDUM

CALL FOR DAILY POLICEMEN PATROLLING AND STAND GUARD
AT CROWDED PLACES AND PLACES WITH HIGH CRIME RATE
IN KUCHING


To: Ketua Polis Daerah Kuching
Ibupejabat Polis Daerah Kuching
Polis Diraja Malaysia
Jalan Simpang Tiga,
93300 Kuching,
Sarawak.


Dear Sir,


Re: Call for daily policemen patrolling and stand guard at crowded place and places with high crime rate in Kuching.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We, Democratic Action Party Socialist Youth (DAPSY), Kuching, strongly call for daily policemen patrolling and stand guard at crowded place and places with high crime rate in Kuching.

The people in City of Kuching have experienced a great job done by the police personnel in patrolling and stand guard at most of the traffic light junctions all over Kuching City during the Annual General Meeting of Party Persaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB), Sarawak, a component and leading party of Barisan Nasional in Sarawak, on early March 2010.

As such, we strongly call for equal force from the police, as what has been provided to PBB, to the benefit of all the people in Kuching. The crimes in this city are rampant, although the official statistics may not show so. Recently, we have four students being robbed where one of them was killed, a taxi driver was murdered, outsiders went into a secondary school and blashed up a student, non-stop houses/shop breaking incidences, theft of vehicles, rape cases and others. The City of Kuching was painted by the Barisan Nasional Government as a peaceful city to which most of the people of this city will strongly disagree.

We have received complaints from some of the victims of housebreaking that when they made phone calls to your department to report the incident of housebreaking, they have been asked by policeman to lodge a written police report at the nearest police station before any police personnel can go to the crime scene. The reason given by the police was that the investigating officer has no authorities to go out from their office to carry out investigation work unless they are referred to a formal police report.

As a result of which, the victims have to wait for about 2 hours to lodge a police report and to record his statement; and wait for another few hours for an investigating officer to come to the scene for investigation. At the end of the day, the criminals are, most of the time, untraceable.

However, on the other hand, the Selangor Police can by their own initiative lodged a police report against DAP Secretary-General and Penang Chief Minister, Lim Guan Eng, for sedition.

If that can be done against DAP, a political enemy of Barisan National, why it cannot be done against the criminals, the common enemy of the people?

We urge for fair and responsible enforcement from the police force. We urge the police to be more to the ground and more accessible to the people for the purpose of preventing the crime and to be the very first person comes to the crime scene when victim is calling for aid. One of the main reasons why crimes are rampantly repeating is because policemen were only arrived to the scene long after the crime has happened.

We noticed that policemen are keener to pay attention to drivers or motorcyclists for minor traffic offences, such as vehicles which cross double lines, drivers who use handphone without hands-free while driving, illegal parking, vehicles or drivers with road tax or driving licence expired, etc… These are duties supposed to be carried out by traffic policemen, enforcement team of Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalanraya (JPJ) and traffic wardens of local councils.

We are curious why, to a minor traffic offender, who passes by a particular place in seconds, the policeman is able to identify and stops him; however to a criminal, who commits a crime in a particular place for minutes and hours, the policeman is unable to arrest him.

Therefore we call for your department to concentrate your man power in fighting against criminals by daily patrolling and stand guard at crowded place and places with high crime rate in Kuching. This has been doing by the policeman in Hong Kong and South Korea.

In the interest of the People, we hope our plea herein will meet with your serious consideration and approval.


Dated this 17th day of March, 2010

Polis Boleh?!

On 24.9.2004,policeman seized the pocket money in total sum of RM5,980.00 from 3 suspects before put them in lockup. The money was never returned to them since Sept 2004. All these years the police kept ignoring our letters until we filed a application to Court pray for the money to be produced to Court and to be returned to the respective owners. Finally, after more than 5 years, the police brought the money to Court and returned it to the owners. They shd returned the money to the suspects when they were released 5 years back as there is no reason why the pocket money should be detained. Shdn't the police be the guardian of our safety and property?

Satu lagi Projek Cakap Barisan Nasional, 石角大桥几时扩建？

这是2009年8月8日剪报，当时杨昆贤在该报导中指张君光大桥预计在一两个月内动工。



我要质问联邦政府为何迟迟还未扩建石角张君光大桥，是否因为联邦政府国库虚空，已经没有拨款。

我今日前往石角大桥，发现该处并没有如工程部副部长拿督杨昆贤之前所承诺的已经动工。联邦政府工程部在2009年8月7日向人民承诺该石角大桥扩建工程即将在一两个月内动工，将从双车道扩建至4条车道。而且工程将会在动工后18个月后竣工。国阵政府向人民许下的诺言并没有履行。

距离去年8月所做的承诺，到如今已经快半年了，但是我们依然没有看见有任何动静。人民依然处在塞车之苦。这是其中一个例子证明国阵政府的无能。国家在国阵政府管辖下，已经十分贫穷。

贪污是我国现在许多问题的根源，如果首相有决心要彻底肃贪，国家肯定更加富有。民主行动党的槟城政府是严打贪污的州政府，可以看到该州在经济上有明显的进步。槟城政府成功让其财务转亏为盈，不但填补了2009年预算案中的4000万令吉赤字，更获得盈余7730万令吉。

国家富有，人民才会富有。国阵政府现在连建设基本设施都有问题，证明了他们没有良好施政，没有决心肃贪。

我也质疑是否石角大桥的扩建工程遭受搁置，是为了等待下次的州选到来时，再拿来成为国阵的竞选筹码？这是国阵政府一贯的肮脏伎俩。

Joke of the Year

A man came home from work and his children ran to him and called out ‘Ayah! Ayah!’
His neighbour got very upset and said to him, “Can you please tell your children not to call you ‘Ayah’?”
The man asked, “Why?”
The neighbour retorted, “Because my children call me ’Ayah’ too. They might get confused and mistake you to be their father.”
Then the man told his neighbour, are you not ashamed to say that your children do not know who their ‘Ayah’ is.
So you are saying by using the word ‘Ayah’, your children will call me ayah too without knowing who is their father?
The neighbour said yes, only my children should use the word 'Ayah'.
The man said, “Then there is something wrong in what you are teaching your children. They are not sure and do not know who their 'Ayah' is!”

SUPP never cares about banning of "Allah" word in Sarawak

News from Sarawak Update: Wong King Wei, Special Assistant to Chong Chieng Jen urged the Home Ministry to write to the churches formally to inform them that they could use “allah” in their church magazine.Wong said Deputy Chief Minister, Datuk Patinggi George Chan was wrong when he said the Allah word was never banned in Sarawak.Showing a letter of proof that besides the Catholic church, Methodist church received a letter from the Home Minister in November 26, 2008 banning them from using the word. The word was used in the Malay edition of the Methodist church.Wong said he was sad that the issue was politicised for the benefit of UMNO who wanted to win votes in West Malaysia thus the ban and allowing it to be used here as they wanted to win the votes here as there were more Christians here,Due to the issue, more than 10 churches and a mosque had been vandalised in the nation.
