What a good Headline from wired.uk

UK ISP on porn filters: if you want internet censorship 'move to North Korea'

 

How I love the Headline

Passing more laws doesn't mean the problem will go away. As the writer rightly pointed out "the offensive will use underground and will be harder to find and deal with"

In Malaysia some section of the ruling regime and the PDRM is asking for the reinstatement of the archaic Emergency (Public Order and Prevention of Crime) Ordinance that allows the Police to arrest and detain anyone they "think" is involved in crime for up to 2 years without trial.

Their rationale is that our crime rate is on the rise. But according to a research by DAP our crime rate has always been on the rise even before the repeal of the EO.

PKR on the other hand has asked the police to get its policing activities in order by reducing spying on opposition and to focus on crime busting.

As a concerned citizen on the rise in crime I hope that PDRM would do the right thing in coming out with a good strategy in combating crime by zeroing in on the root cause of the problem using technology and good police field work rather than trying to introduce more restrictive Law, of which we have plenty.

Placing suspects under EO without trial is like "if I dont see u in this State you dont exist therefore no crime" - it is not solving the problem at all but is a true "cop out" of the actual responsibilities of a policeman.

So PDRM please give us some leadership on this. I trust you have the capability and intellect to do it.

Is a matter of whether you are willing or not to set things right and is a matter of how much you love your country; to put the citizens safety first or your political ambition first.
