gti,
I can see where you're coming from. But don't tell me Malaysia does not have enough resources? we too, pay tax. we are no longer a 3rd world country. look at our infrastructure. Kuala Lumpur is definately much more developed than a city such as Melbourne.
how can rattan do anything about it? you hear of all these cases where gangs come into your porch and steal things right in front of your eyes. you rub them only to find it is not an illusion. can u tell those people inside their houses watching all this "hey, go fend for yourself, the cops wont help you. go stop them. stop complaining and do something."
what can they do?
it's become such a bad state that people these days grow up wanting to be police officers just for the bribes. well, i guess they don't believe in, or for that matter understand the definition of karma.
Gene, I am not trying to pick up a fight or something.But what you had just put down doesn't really make sense to me.
1)Malaysia does not have enough resources: Yes supposedly Malaysia would have enough resources.But, a big BUT---how much do you think had already went down to inappropriate spending and corruption?Yes corruption.As long as the mindset of our thinking(society) does not change,the probelem simply will persist.Thus,two thumbs up for our current PM in his stand of fighting corruption.And to tell the truth,u gonna compare our countries resources to those with US & UK?Think again.
2)Malaysia is no longer a 3rd world country? : it may be due to my ignorance,but had malaysia moved up the place toa second world country such as Japan and Korea?Well,i sincerely do not know about this promotion.Pls do enlight me. And you talking bout KL is much more developed than Melbourne? Well, in the 1st place i already do not agree with this.But why not compare ourselves with Sydney?Or rather compare Perak with Melbourne or some sort?
3)How can rattan do anything? : i do not wish to linger on this point as i had already stated before.
4)What about thieves climbing into our porch? : Just wan to ask you one simple quetion. How do we stop snatch thieves? How do we stop bank robberies? Aren't that happening too? Are the cops not doing anything?How are the cops suppose to know when are the thieves gonna hit our car?With all due respect to the cops,i had certainly realised that they had increased patrol---well at least to my area.I am not trying to fend the cops or something,i know they r shitty.But try to think first before we start being a saddist and put blame on everybody else.When a person is pointing a finger towards someone,do u realise that there are another 3 fingers is pointing back to ourselves?
Yes, we can't do anything when the thieves smash our car.I know how it feels.I tasted it 1st hand.But when it happened,i did not blame the police.They were quite efficient to have reach my house within 10 minutes.Well, they are not camping in front of my house.What do u expect them to do?
When i say that stop complainning and do something,you really think i am asking u to go and fight the thieves?That's really the not so clever thing that u could ever do.What i am asking rattan, is make the changes.I put the blame on society when crimes happen.Unless the police force is really not doing a thing.But do u realise that Malaysia has one of the highest crime busting rates in the world?So the blame is definately not on the police force.
Ask yourself, why is all this still happening?When you say that all the ppl become police just to take bribe,that reflects exactly what i mean by the education of our society!EXACTLY! Yes ppl become police to take bribes!Don't u think that every tom dick and harry is thinking about the same thing?Why arent this kind of thinking inherent in Singapore?Why arent this kind of thinking inherent in Japan?But this kind of thinking happens in Vietnam Phillipines and so on? Think of it.
Why do you think a traffic police would give indication that he wants some bribe?
IF we do not have the habit of roviding bribe, they would not have asked in the first place.IF we do not violate the rules,We do not have to engage ourself in this situation in the very first place.And WE were the one who would offer them bribe.Aren't WE suppose to shoulder the blame too?If you really hate them,there is no need for room of discussion with them.Ask them to give the ticket and we move on.BUT how many of us would have done that?We do this because qwe know we can discuss.We do this because we can bribe ourselves outta the way.And after bribing ourselves out of the way, we sayin' how shitty the police is? TRue police is shitty.But we are equally as shitty too.But do we say it out loud?
When Mahathir say such a statement,you really think he meant it.For god sake Mahathir would me the last person to provide such a literal meaning to us.Think again about that statement.It reflects precisely what out society is.
Again i repeat and emphasised,i respect rattan for what and who he is.The decision is his.I am just putting my mind on a few other ppl who doesn't seem to understand what they are talking about.
Peace.
