Police Efforts to justify that they acted

The Malaysian public should feel comforted that the government ministers and police are acting in ways they could. At least, it is proof that they are not doing NOTHING.

Though they may not be able to catch thieves or sex maniacs, they at least had done something along along those lines. The IGP had taken action against 3 senior police officer. One senior officer was sack for marrying another wife without getting permission and approval from his superior. Another was demoted for marrying again without permission though he is a divorcee.

"They got married overseas and didn't even inform their commanders," Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi made this announcement.

"They can't simply marry anyone, not even if they feel they were made for each other," IGP Musa Hassan said.

"This move will serve as a lesson to other police officers," Musa Hassan added.

You see, the PM and IGP are doing what they could. Though they couldn't catch thieves or rapist or murderers. at least, they acted. They are doing something, not nothing. And PM and IGP promised that they will catch the murderer of Nurin at Kampung Baru. I don't know how they are so sure that the man is from Kampung Baru, but at least, they will arrest someone, to fulfill the obligation.

In fact, the police will also be investigating Nurin's parents for negligence.

The NST reported today that, Nurin's father, Jazimin Abdul Jalil and Norazian Bistaman, Nurin's mother, may face charges under the Child Protection Act if investigations show that their negligence had contributed to Nurin's death.

"The search for Nurin is over and now we will focus on catching the killer and see if the parents had been negligent in looking after her safety," said Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan."This is a two-pronged investigation.

"Asked if Nurin's parents could be the first to be charged under the legislation, IGP said:

"Police would first need to establish if there was evidence of negligence. If there are, we will make recommendations to the Attorney-General's Chambers." Musa said while there was a provision under the law to charge negligent parents, it had never been used.

"It is high time for parents to be more responsible for their children's safety," he said after briefing Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and the Police Commission on efforts to enhance the force.

You see, they are taking actions, not doing nothing, ok!

In fact PM said he viewed the Lingham video clip seriously and if there is no proof that the video is true, then the government would promptly take actions against the whistleblower and those who brought that video to his attention.

"This video clip bears a story that can harm the good name of the judiciary system. We cannot take it lightly."

PM didn't say anything about his stand should the video be authentic. I think he had already presumed that the video cannot be true. To the PM, and also to us, surely, it can't be true.... should it be true, it was still a monologue and impossible to factually proof that the other person on the telephone is CJ. There is no factual evidence at all. We just can't be 100% sure. 90% isn't good enough. This is not fair to the CJ. He must be given the benefit of doubt.

Lets be assured that, something had been done, and someone will be taken-in for investigation and possibly indictment. At least something was done.... ok!!!!
