Actually we are so safe that our police now no longer has anything better to do. Yeah. Why then do you think they went after candles bearer and people who wear black and those who assemble to express issues of national importance.

Elementary, Mr Watson. Because they are not an occupational hazard to catch than real criminals. My brother neighbour’s house was broken in and he called the police. The police says they don’t have any personnel to attend to it as they are short-handed. Half an hour later, the police called back to inquire whether the burglars have left. Guess they thought that the burglars would be waiting for them to be free before they (the police) attend to them. But at least, the police did call back to check, right?

Woof :
“The Home Minister is not very smart to support the second extension of IGP.”
It is the height of stupidity to suggest that it is not smart for the Home Minister to extend further the contract of the current IGP. They have their own agenda and this extension meets this agenda.

Come on laaaa…. has Hishammuddin done anything smart so far? He has no ideology and no guiding principles, except trying to draw attention to himself with a lot of monkey antics like raiding Malaysiakini, raiding Malaysia Today, raiding this, raiding that, and waving the keris. He even wanted to bring a cangkul to dig his own political grave, so to speak. To me, he is not an intelligent man and he is where he is only because of his father. At least, Najib has shown that he is much much more intelligent than I ever gave him credit for.

(P/S: This new layout… not so used to it yet. I wonder why the comment box is so small while there is a lot of empty space on the right. Also, there is no review feature before posting, like what most forums have).

Let other police officers have a chance, Maybe YB KIT can have a survey to see how rakyat feels about this corrupted IGP.

It is the height of stupididy to suggest that it is not smart for the Home Minister to extend further the contract of the currnet IGP. They have their own agenda and this extension meets this agenda.

No speculation, but if this is one of the many crime scenes in the country, we should worry!

A second extension means that he has completed one year extension and continuing.

The Chief Justice can only be extended for up to six months. There must be a reason why the head of Judiciary should not be extended beyond 6 months. That same reason should apply to the IGP, the head of police force.

The country is run based on rule of law and not rule by person. So the system of government is the most important asset of the country, and the system of the institutions should be maintained. The person appointed to head the institution would be the best available at the time the vacancy exists, and the head of the institution has to observe the rules governing the appointment and retirement of its personnel.

The IGP might be extended on retirement when he is required to complete unfinished business, not because he is the best person around, or that the best of the potential successor could not fit his big shoe. That unfinished business should be cleared within 6 months of extension as for the extension of the Chief Justice.

The head of department should have worked out the succession plan well before his retirement. If he had been extended on the reason that succession plan had not been completed when he was due to retire, that unfinished business should be the top priority. One might recall that AAB took less than a year to arrange transition of power. In fact he only decided in September 2008 when he dared not contest the position of UMNO chief. AAB gave up the position of PM in six month; some might say that the next day after his announcement of no-contest. So the IGP cannot be trusted to do anything during the second extension what he did not do during the first. Even if the IGP is the best the country can offer, he has to leave at the end of his extension in September.

The Home Minister cannot claim that he is a new hand in job. He decided that the IPCMC should not be set up even when it was not his job concerning the running of the Home Ministry. He cannot demand the IGP to hold his hands. If that is what he needed, any other pairs of IGP hands would do.

The Home Minister is not very smart to support the second extension of IGP. There are many IGP-hopefuls, and why must Kerismuddin dampen the morale of those who aspire to serve the people and the government. If that is not out of self interest of what we do not know, then why did he do it?

All crime victims should come forward to demand a safer Malaysia!
