Of fumbling bungling police who lets a criminal run away
Last night we had a literally sleepless night because we saw a burglar going from house to house in our neighbourhood in the dead of night and when we called the cops, they let the burglar escape scot-free.
Yep, the police really suck big hairy bull’s balls! Like big time!
Now let me recount the sequence of events:
1.45am: TH noticed a suspicious character lurking around some residential houses in our neighbourhood from our balcony. Since we are high up in an apartment, we can see what’s going on at the houses below us.
1.46am: TH called the police Bilik Gerakan (04-2691999 / 228 2222) and reported the suspicious character and gave complete details of the exact location including landmarks, which house, etc.
1.50am: The burglar has entered one of the houses by jumping over the fence so TH called again the cops again in a panic. They said the patrol car is on the way.
1.55am: By now, the burglar has jumped from house to house (those are terrace houses) by jumping over the fences. Since he looked empty handed, we were assuming that he must be searching through all the cars parked in the house compounds for money.
2am: TH called the police again and told them that the burglar had moved on to another street and again gave them the details. The patrol car is nowhere in sight. They said it is on its way.
2.10am: By now, the burglar has ‘covered’ about ten houses in that street and is scouting around another row of houses on the next street. Still, the patrol car is nowhere in sight.
2.20am: Finally the patrol car arrived. The burglar at this time is inside one of the houses. TH called the police and told them to inform the patrol car of the exact house where the burglar is. The patrol car stopped at the right place and two policemen got down. They called TH on his handphone to ask for further details and he told them specifically which house. They shone their torchlights around but apparently didn’t see anything.
However, instead of going up to the house to really check, they walked around and the moment their backs were turned, the burglar took the opportunity to jumped across the fencing to another house and from there, jumped out to the street and took off. TH immediately called the police and told them that the burglar had escaped.
In a normal situation with a good police team, the police would have ran and gave chase. However, those two idiots turned in slow motion and went ‘Mana? Tak nampak?’. TH told them that the burglar had ran off to a dark side lane leading to another road so they better make haste. So, again in slow motion, the two idiots talked for awhile and slowly got into their patrol car. Then, they cruised along the road, purportedly to look for the running burglar. By now, the burglar had got to another road and was merely half running and half walking.
Meanwhile, the fumbling bungling idiots took another road despite accurate, exact directions complete with road names and landmarks by TH over the phone and completely missed the escaping burglar.
After that, the burglar walked off to a road out of our view so we lost sight of him. The police continued to cruise around for awhile and then they too left.
The whole episode ended at around 3am.
So, the whole moral of this story is, don’t call the blardy cops if you are being robbed / saw a burglar or being threatened by criminals because:
1. It takes them 35 minutes to get to a place in a time when there is absolutely no traffic and the nearest police station is only 5 minutes’ drive away
2. Even if the criminal is right in front of them, they can’t see them. It is my deduction that criminals must have a police-proof shield where police could not see them even if they are standing right in front of them
3. The police tends to act in slow motion, probably thinking they are in some major Hollywood action-packed movie which needed a slow motion section of police ‘in action’.
4. It is more reliable to have your own CCTV, house alarm, high spiky fencing, plenty of lighting and a well-trained huge guard dog which will bite any uninvited trespassers especially in the middle of the night and not eat any food given by strangers.
5. You are not safe in your own home even with a police patrol car right outside your doorstep. If you depend on the police in Malaysia, you are doomed!
6. The police are too busy firing tear gas and water cannons at innocent people who were demanding their rights and arresting bloggers for sedition. They have no time for petty cases like murder, rape, robbery, burglary, snatch thefts, etc.

May 10th, 2008 at 12:36 amI only have this to say to the IGP – Conduct an investigation and take diciplinary action should they be found not discharging their duties appropriately.
Otherwise, it will form the perception of conspiracy theories in the mind of Rakyat. This is one of the reason why the Rakyat doesn’t fully trust of Police Force. They are worst than sucks…
May 11th, 2008 at 1:57 pmSame situation in Kuching. This stupid polis even switches on their sirens when they should have come silently and catch the thief red-handed. Well… only this can describe the kanasai police force… “Kia Si” – takut mati! If so, jangan jadi polis la!

Choonie: eh, not only kiasi, also lazy and sleeping on the job!
