Not a day goes by when I am not bombared with news of shooting with an alarming rate in Malaysia over a couple of months back and each day there is such news reported daily. Fear is high in the hearts of the people and this is effecting the economy as well as the image of Malaysia. I have been told that Malaysia is the safest place in Asian but when was that survey taken and now in reality it has another story to be told.
Well I am not sure of the recent shooting are related to drugs or gang or expanding the turf of their gang but no matter the reason the core question is the ability in getting firearms so easy and so cheap to execute someone. I read that with a merely RM5k one can hire a hired killer to "finish' of a person. Is our life that damn cheap ? I am told that the guns are being brought in from the north and so far the police are still investigating about the shooting. Why must the police not enforce more strict rules and enforce the law in a more diligently so that people who are bring in the gun or even having a gun is sentence harshly. Why wait until someone gets shot at before acting ? I am sure the police have fantastic intelligence in order to know the culprits behind all this shooting ?
The shooting is causing the image of malaysia to suffer really badly. After the screen of Lone Ranger, people have started to use the gun as a weapon to kill the person they have a tiff with or misunderstanding. Have we gone back to the Wild Wild West where a man can roam around the country with a gun ? I pray and hope that this does not happen not for me but for the sake of the future generation.
Well I hope the shooting with stop and for good.
As a citizen what is my role ? What can i do ? How can I help the police to curb the crimes in my area ? Has the police educated the young on their roles to curb crime ?
Well I know you will do the right thing after reading this blog !
Until next time stay safe and be safe and even play safe :P
