What the Malaysian think of the Malaysian Police

Police come under the spotlight — Martin Jalleh; The Malaysian Insider
MARCH 12 — 2009 was a year when the police was unfortunately perceived to be playing politics and pandering to the wishes of their political (pay) masters rather than protecting the people. About 76 per cent of the respondents in a Home Ministry online survey (August 2009) said that they feel angry each time they see a police officer!

In an earlier Home Ministry online survey (July 2009), 97 per cent of 10,060 respondents felt unsafe due to the high crime rate; 95 per cent of 9,319 respondents felt the safety of the people was not guaranteed; and 94 per cent of 9,261 respondents felt the government had not done its best to ensure the safety of the people.
