The rakyat do not see the point of doing away with the commission whose objective is to improve the force. Why would one object the set-up of an entity if the objective of the said entity is to assist as well as improving the force.

Perhaps one of the areas which the force is lacking in is process efficiency such as distribution of work loads which led to one possible resulting outcome which is the frequently-used but not new reason (or shall I rightly call excuse) – “the field force/surveillance team is short in manpower. I am not even discussing the point of possible conflict of interest.

Although maybe a bit of off-topic, I would like to relate my personal experience. This incident happened on Monday, 22 Sep 2008 about 7pm along LDP from PJ/Damansara (to be precise next to Kelana Jaya LRT station) heading towards Puchong. A Perodua Kancil (grey) bearing registration no WXX 8XX (notice:3 digits) cut abruptly infront of me without signalling which almost resulted in an accident.

I honked at the car but instead of apologizing, the driver turned abusive and showed me ‘the finger’. After that, he slowed down and changed to the middle lane (from the fast lane) and I thought of passing him. However, I was taken aback immediately as I was about to pass him, he took out a rock (the size of probably a size 4 football) which I presumed with the intention of hurling it towards me. Noticing that, I quickly applied my brakes and with that I slowed down and decided to slot behind him. I called the PJ Police HQ and was passed on by the operator to one officer by the name of En Dxx. After explaining to him the incident plus providing him with the details of the car and location, he promised to look into the matter indicating that he would radio the Puchong Police to intercept the car.

The irony is that I am not sure whether he had acted on the complaint or not as:-
(i) Firstly, I have not gotten any update from him;
(ii) Secondly, he may not know who I was as he did not take down my contact no.; and
(iii) Thirdly, if indeed the car was intercepted the police would obviously need me to be the witness.
(Again, the obvious lack of a set work procedures and/or the failure of the officer in applying it probably due to lack of enforcement on rewards vs penalty performance scheme within the force emphasizes the need of the commission)

My point is that, if the above assumption is true and this driver is indeed brave enough to act on each and every supposedly ‘provocation’ in his own definition, self-written, regulated and enforced set of laws, I am saddened by the fact that the force which is supposed to provide security to the rakyat, treats this complaint lightly.

If this example and maybe others ‘tidak apa’ examples are not reported, acted upon and punished, how and when will we ever have first class professional force?

One of the many questions the rakyat may have is “on what basis the ruling Government is rejecting or opposing the set-up of the commission and/or is reluctant to speed the setting-up of the same?

An action/outcome cannot be without an attached explanation which serves to clarify/explain such action to the satisfaction of the rakyat.

I think the above example is of utmost serious in nature and the reluctance or rejection of the setting up of the commission is beyond comprehension what more such reluctance or rejection is without reasonable basis.

The_Dude,

That was funny but obviously I think everyone understand the message you have delivered.
Going by your joke – should I have personally and directly offered a on-the-spot incentive scheme to the officers responsible in apprehending the culprit whom I related in the story?
;-)
hahaha

Kit,

Well, in respect of the issues surrounding the commission, the action of the force and certain ministers is certainly questionable or at the very least debatable.

On other matters concerning the nation, explanations and actions of the ruling government are not consistent with one another (some from the same source but at different time!) and some are even laughable.

Kit,

Since PR is alligned by way of ideology instead of the supposedly race-based alliance of BN, does you and/or PR have any contingency plan/remedial action in the event certain racial issues surfaced within PR. (note:the constitution provides a few privileges to bumiputras, one being centred around education). How would it be possible to have a quota system to effect this consitutional rights and at the same time to balance drain/wastage of talents? Have PR prepared itself to promptly answer to all these possible questions as well as having an action plan in place to address these concerns. Have PR studied the demographic statistics, future/projected GDP vs expenditures, etc. to sufficiently and satisfactory provide facts and figures to have suppport its action plan, well if there is one indeed?

Yes Kok.

You are spot on.

The reasons do not end at remuneration package.

There is this hearsay – It started many years ago that since then, there is this unwrittten rule that the VC and most if not all heads of department of an university MUST be from certain ethnic group. This mindset perpetuated and trickled down to all levels of the administration which eventually breeds inefficiency. This is education and it is supposed to be the place the nation churns out talents and HR as what Kok has pointed out HR is the backbone of a nation.

We are not even discussing other areas of the Government machinery yet.
