I find it amazing that Dr Badrul's arrest was made at such lightning speed. I must say that when it comes to certain cases, the police are most efficient.

In this case, Dr Badrul was found to have contravened an instruction given by the home affairs minister.

It is most sad and disappointing that when the common rakyat is in need of assistance, you find a lethargic and indisciplined police force.

An Indian family in need, a community stalked by thugs, a lady accosted and injured - where are the police in times of danger?

If only they will be as vigilant and diligent in preventing day-to-day crimes as they are in stalking 'political criminals'.
