Are the alarm bells ringing?
Two reports caught my attention and had me wondering today.
From the NST , 21 Sept 2005 ... "But when judges draw attention to shoddy investigative work and throw out cases even before an accused is called to make his defence, alarm bells should ring. Why? Because it undermines the confidence Malaysians have in the ability of the police to solve crimes and of the prosecutors to put the right people behind bars."
From BBC, 20 Sept 2005 ... "Ah Hing referred to his (sic) as "our company". It's a pragmatic affair, where deals are reached with the authorities - who set boundaries for crimes they know can never be eliminated. If I want to operate on a particular street and ask a politician to ask the authorities not to disturb me, the politician might say: 'It's impossible to have zero arrests, so you can operate on certain hours and we will patrol after those hours' - so it's a win-win situation," Ah Hing said.
The alarm bells are ringing but is anyone listening?
