It is quite common on the 8pm national prime time news to see police raiding a prostitutes den or a massage parlour.

In full view of prime time viewers, the police seem to take a particular delight in the successful apprehension of these pimps and prostitutes. If only they could display similar enthusiasm in apprehending murderers and rapist which have become so prevalent in every neighbourhood.

Practically every day we hear of innocent victims snatch thieves, of robbers, of rapists and yet the police are spending valuable time arresting prostitutes and pimps.

The police seem to have their priorities wrong. Prostitutes and pimps do not threaten the safety and security of ordinary citizens but murderers and rapists do.

So why don’t the police go after the murderers and rapists rather than spending valuable resources going after mere prostitutes and pimps.?

Further, with workers both legal and illegal in our country, these bachelor foreign workers are here without their wives. They need an outlet for their sexual urges and these prostitute dens serve as a conduit for them to release their primitive urges.

If the police eradicate their only source of sexual outlet, the ramification is that they will resort to raping innocent victims who could be wives, daughters, sisters of Malaysian citizens.

So please PDRM, don’t think eradicating this particular problem will solve all your problems. Most likely, it will only create a more serious crime scene.
