I refer to the Malaysiakini report Minister, S'gor police chief under fire.

If I were the country’s police chief, who has pledged to serve and secure the nation security’s, I would have a few questions to ask onthe incident at Amcorp Mall, Petlaing Jaya that night.

1. Since the police claims that such gatherings have been held many times over many months, have there been any criminal cases reported due to such gatherings? Such as rape, snatch-thefts, motorcycle/car thefts, robberies?

I read from the newspapers that every week we have Mat Rempit beating up civilians by the road side not only in PJ but also in many other parts of Selangor and Kuala Lumpur.

So how much of police resources were spent at Petaling Jaya that night at the candlelight vigil and what was the corresponding achievement in crime-fighting?

I could only see injuries on some harmless people, the frustrations of many families and politicians slamming the police for doing nothing to lower the crime rate.

Something must be wrong with the police force in terms of work and responsibility-planning.

2. What is the ability of the FRU and police force? Observing the many so-called 'demonstrations' which have all been peaceful, the FRU is only good at beating up unarmed civilians.

Is the police force capable of fighting crime and criminals? I have to say that some policemen are to be respected for their dedication and achievement but the image reflected by most of the police force’s personnel is rather demoralising.

I would really like to see the FRU beating up a big group of Mat Rempit rather than normal civilians like those at Amcorp Mall that night or residents at Bandar Mahkota Cheras a few months ago.

3. A member of parliament was arrested and the PDRM claimed that he was obstructing their work. Was there any judgement capability problem with our police force that night?

A person politely approaching them, apparently not armed, identifying himself clearly but was judged by the police to ‘obstructing’ their mighty force.

Remembering the sindiran from Tun years ago about small stones thrown by Palestinian boys which were replied with bullets from Israeli soldiers, well, the Malaysian version is indentify yourself peacefully and it will be answered with kicks and punches.

4. Remember how the police chief countered ‘Should police not arrest criminals just because they were singing the Negara Ku’?

For many convicted criminals all over the world, I have never ever came across any news about them singing their national anthem when the police were after them. What consideration is this?

5. Were there other alternatives of ensuring the ‘security’ of the area that night? Had all the alternatives been exhausted to secure the ‘safety’ of the place if at all this was necessary?

Has our top police chief considered any of the above? Well, I believe if any of the above considerations were to be made as key performance indicators, (KPIs), most of the senior police personnel could be fired.
