China Press gets show cause, but Utusan is safe

Our nation's number one bloody idiot, the home affairs minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein had instructed his ministry officials to issue a show cause letter to the China Press for an alleged report in their newspaper citing that the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Musa Hasan had resigned.

Come on, what about Utusan Malaysia newspaper? They created and made more headlines in its racist statements and reports, instigating racist demonstrations around the country, caused severe damages to our country's economic well-being by creating unrest, putting up lies and creating chaos, caused a top Selangor state government official to be arrested under the ISA for something that she never ever had connection with, instigating the rebellion in the Perak, Selangor and Penang.

China Press is merely reporting what was leaked out from Bukit Aman by a policeman who "believed" that his boss (the IGP) intended to tender his resignation. What so big fuss about this? When Utusan Malaysia created a very, very big fuss to our country that almost brought to another May 13 incident, the home minister did nothing but instead congratulated and thank Utusan's editor-in-chief for his great job and awarded him with yet another Datukship.

Yeah, Hishammuddin is the Malaysian version of the Nazi home affairs minister Wilhelm Frick. This home minister of ours is a real "Frick".

Guan Eng has given his statement, says Karpal

DAP National Chairman Karpal Singh today dismissed the claims made by the police that Penang Chief Minister and DAP Secretary-General Lim Guan Eng has been refusing to cooperate in investigation over his alleged seditious remark.

“The Chief Minister did, in fact, give a statement to ASP Ahmad Fauzi bin Mohamad Zain at his office in the presence of lawyer RSN Rayer and, thereafter, signed that statement,” said Karpal in a statement today.

We urged the Selangor police chief to retract his threat against Guan Eng and the people of Penang immediately. The Selangor police chief has been improfessional and irresponsible in making his threat against the chief executive of a state government.

PDRM should be replaced

After years of observation on the performance of the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM), we are all gravely disappointed at their actions and position being one-sided and unprofessional in the way they perform.

They had acted in such a manner that we should call them Umno police instead of its original professional name, the police force. Why do we say that? Simple, it is because they are working efficiently to advance the political interest of Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN).

They did not have sufficient time or manpower to curb the rising crimes in our country but they do have enough personnel to be mobilized via their Special Branch to curb opposition politics and to make unjust arrests on innocent people who are working hard out there to advance the democratic principles and justice for our nation.

The mobilized the entire regiment to support Umno’s coup de’tat in Perak, they mobilized an entire battalion to arrest opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, they mobilized an entire division to ousted Perak speaker Sivakumar from him office, they mobilized thousands of special branch personnel nationwide to spy on our opposition party leaders and now they are planning to mobilize a regiment to arrest the Penang Chief Minister and DAP Secretary-General Lim Guan Eng for alleged “seditious” remarks he had made in the recently concluded Pakatan Rakyat National Convention.

When Umno organized an illegal demonstration in Penang trying to incite a racial riot to topple the Penang state government, PDRM did nothing. When Bukit Bendera Umno division chief Ahmad Ismail tried to incite hatred and violence, PDRM did nothing, when Penang Umno secretary Azhar Ibrahim called for a journalist to be gunned down, PDRM did nothing. When threatening messages of bloodshed were made in the Umno general assembly, PDRM did nothing.

But when the Pakatan Rakyat leaders are out there trying to protect our people’s interest and defending democracy, justice and equality, PDRM quickly and efficiently roll in their tanks, weaponary and regiments to curb and arrest these people for nothing.

And today, violent criminals like the mat rempits, murders, snatch thieves, robbers, rapist, drug lords, political racist and the real penderhakas are roaming around the nation freely threatening the security and safety of our families, neighbors, children, friends, relatives and our parents. PDRM responded that they cannot do much reasoning that they did not have enough personnel to carry out the patrolling.

This clearly shows that PDRM is already being political motivated, one-sided and pro-Umno. They are acting in the interest of Umno and its elites in order to safeguard their interest as well as the looted national funds in their pockets.

Due to afraid of being further exposed, PDRM even went to an extend of mobilizing its officers’ corps to send a protest and threatened the then premier Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to stop his proceedings in working towards the establishment of the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) in the parliament.

Therefore, PDRM ought to be replaced as soon as possible with a more credible, professional and people-oriented People’s Security Force. PDRM is a thing of the past and outdated. PDRM is still in a denial mode and cannot be reformed anymore, just like their masters, Umno.

DAP MP raps Umno cops for ‘intimidating’ critics

DAP Bukit Bendera MP Liew Chin Tong today lambasted the police for using laws such as the Sedition Act and the Communications and Multimedia Act in an effort to quell dissenting views expressed by the public.

Citing DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng's recent case where he is being investigated under the Sedition Act as an example, Liew said the police action was "deplorable".

"Police investigations of Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng over his statement on the death of Teoh Beng Hock and the subsequent police action to interrogate DAP Selangor chairman and Selangor State Exco member Ean Yong Hian Wah over his statement on the probe on Guan Eng are most deplorable," said the Bukit Bendera MP in a statement.

The police force which has been seen as influenced and directed by Umno is threatening the democratic process of our nation and if they left unchecked could lead to the establishment of an Umno dictatorship and a police state in near future.

Is it wrong for Guan Eng and Ean Yong to express their wish to bring justice to Beng Hock? Is it wrong for Guan Eng and Ean Yong to support the call to expedite on Beng Hock's death at the Selangor MACC headquarters? Is the police helping MACC to cover-up the murder by trying to delay the investigation and magistrate's inquest?

In this case, we wish to repeat our call to have the Independent Police Complaints and Misconducts Commission (IPCMC) established as soon as possible in order to curb the power abuses and mismanagement in the police force.

If IPCMC cannot reform the police force, we suggest Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) to be dissolved and replace with a new entity call Public Security Force (PSF).

Perak Umno rebel government sealed state secretariat

The Umno police personnel preventing Pakatan assemblymen from entering the state secretariat building. The Pakatan assemblyment were led by Datuk Nizar and his state Exco members.

The Perak Umno rebel state government today sealed the entire state secretariat which also house the state legislative assembly building in their bid to prevent the state assemblymen and the Speaker from commencing the state assembly sitting as required by the Perak state constitution.

To strengthen its move, the Perak Umno rebel state government had called in the federal-backed security forces as well as their party supporters from all over the country. The Umno supporters was earlier spotted in an opposite site demonstrating against the Pakatan state assemblymen and supporters. Most of the Umno members are clad in yellow shouted slogans supporting their rebel leader Dr Zambry Abd Kadir and denouncing the legitimate Pakatan-led state government.

As the state assemblymen and the Speaker was disallowed entry into the state legislative assembly building by security forces personnel and Umno supporters, the Speaker had no choice but to convene the state assembly sitting at Heritage Hotel in Ipoh and passed motions to condemn the acts of Umno state assemblymen, defectors and imposed fines onto those who involved in the last 7 May fracas which saw the Speaker V.Sivakumar was forcibly pulled from his chambers and locked up in an undisclosed room.

Apart from being forced out violently from his chair, Sivakumar was also prevented from discharging his duties as the state Speaker. He was then replaced by the rebel-appointed R.Ganesan before the 7 May state assembly sitting commence.

The sitting today approved a decision by its rights and privileges committee to arrest and jail for six months the rebel Speaker Ganesan and his deputy Hee Yit Foong for their active role in the said fracas. The two were also fined RM500,000 by the state assembly.

The rebel state government was established by Perak Umno last February following their coup d'etat which saw the Pakatan state government being toppled. The Umno rebels had since refused to back down despite mounted pressure from the public to dissolve the state legislative assembly to pave way for a fresh state elections for fear of being rejected by the people again.

NGOs planned protest against Bukit Aman

A coalition of NGOs consist of about 50 organizations had planned to hold a mass protest ring in front of the police headquarters in Bukit Aman to shown their dissatisfaction on certain unresolved issues.

It also shows the public discontent on the police force is also growing following the BN federal government’s decision not to establish the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) but to do with only a less effective Enforcement Agencies Integrity Commission (EAIC).

Besides, the highlights of the NGOs’ protest will also be focusing on the unresolved case of A.Kugan’s death while he was under investigation for suspicion in a car theft syndicate. They are now emphasizing why no action taken against Kugan’s killers from the police force.

Come on Tan Sri Musa (the inspector-general of police), it does not mean by hauling up your officers who murdered Kugan will make you or your entire force lost your faces. You have to accept that this is a process of justice and the murderers be it your policemen or whoever it is must face the judiciary process. They had murdered a guy who is under investigation.

If you keep on covering your face or being arrogant, Kugan will even become a national hero or perhaps a national statesman because he is a murder victim now. People are making a fame of him because your officers murdered him. Even if Kugan had committed a crime by stealing some vehicles to make ends meet, he should be allow to go through the judiciary process and from there he will be judged by the court if he is guilty or not.

The IGP should not blame the entire episode on Kugan. The more you blame him the more heroic he becomes and he might be turned into a Tun or Tan Sri type of guy by the people who fought for him. Those policemen who murdered him should be blamed for their impatience in their interrogations and their disrespect to the judiciary process.

If you let justice serve on Kugan accordingly, you don’t have to through such suffering situation. You asked for it, the entire police force asked for it. You cannot blame all these on the people, Kugan’s family and the whole. We did not go against you simply because we wanted to. We wanted justice, not to make Kugan a winner or you a loser. Justice means equality. You must serve everyone equally and not one-sided like what you have been doing in Perak right now.

As member of the police force, you must serve the people and preserve the nation’s security and not only serve the interest of a particular political party just because the leader of the political party is your home affairs minister.

Respect the deceased, Syed Hamid told

The home affairs minister Datuk Syed Hamid Albar should properly respect the family members of the deceased police detainee and not condemning them as a family of criminals instead.

Syed Hamid should have acted professionally as a minister by offering condolences to the bereaved family and not branding the family as part of the crime.

By immediately passing the judgment to the deceased as a convicted criminal, when even the court of law has not even give its judgment, Syed Hamid had demonstrated his immature attitude towards a human being. He as a lawyer himself should have acted and think rationally and not emotionally.

So, what about those policemen who were now under investigation for the torture and murder of the deceased suspect? Is Syed Hamid going to hail them as not guilty and hero instead?

We want to advise Syed Hamid, the more arrogance you show in this case the more resistance you will receive from the public and even if the deceased suspect has been proven for his crimes (car theft), he will be hailed as a hero instead.

Therefore, Syed Hamid should tone down his arrogance and show his respect to the public by acting as a gentleman and inform the people and the said family that he shall not comment further until the judiciary process takes place and give its judgments.

As a minister, he should not be overly one-sided and too emotional in critical issues which had been made known to the general public.

Do not deny your weakness, police told

After the funeral and cremation of a police detainee still under investigation, who was brutally tortured and murdered by a few irresponsible police personnel, every one of us are demanding to know what is the direction of the police force now?

We are all asking this question not only for Kugan, not only for opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (who was brutally tortured and beaten up by the then Inspector-General of Police) but for all those innocent people who had both suffered from mentally and physical tortures under police detentions or detention without trials.

The major concern here is not for a few particular individuals, but in the interest of the public in our nation, the human rights of each of every person here in Malaysia. Innocent people were not respected, deprived from their dignities and treated like a common murderers, like it was these people has been detained and immediately given the judgment as guilty by the police force and therefore, being treated like a murderer, a terrorist or a common criminal. Like what has been shown in a movie Judge Dredd who acts as a police, judge and executioner in public. We are not asking you to treat suspected criminals in a first class manner, these people are human beings too, they need to be treated in a just and fair manner too and let the court of law take its course.

Our question is simple! Where are our people’s rights? Are we safe and is our security guaranteed? Why is the crime rate going up and increasing daily?

Let us answer them for you. You are nowhere around when we needed your assistance, your bit base are either locked or empty, your stations are insufficient in manpower, for patrolling and so on, most of your personnel are either overweight or inefficient, politically one-sided and so on, and there are a lot more problems in the organization and structures.

When there is motor vehicle accident, we cannot make a report at the nearest police station, because they would not accept it, but instead we need to go to the district police headquarters to do so. So what is the use of having all those police stations in the villages, housing estates, markets and the bit base as well? If all these police sub-stations cannot even play a simple role of receiving and validating a report, then what are all those policemen doing there? What is the use of building so many police stations here and there and they cannot even fully function for the benefit of the public.

We have heard a lot of sayings or merely sayings from the previous and present Inspector-General of Police saying that any police stations in the country must receive reports from the public but it still doesn’t work at all. We still received complaints from the public over the inconvenience of having have to go over to the district police headquarters on a minor issues or vehicle accident, even if is there is already a police station nearby. If all these police stations cannot even play a simple role, other than the district police headquarters, just close them down effectively.

No wonder the district police headquarters are always packed with documentations, jammed with public daily enquiries, complaints and grievances, insufficient police personnel or clerical staff to handle ongoing cases and complaints which caused of the delays and errors when there are hearings, recording of statements, missing files, missing reports, misunderstandings and so on. Sometimes, you could also see traffic jams in the district police headquarters and there don’t even have enough parking space for the public to do so.

So, what are they actually doing all these while? All we had seen is these policemen has been doing a lot of political duties on behalf of prominent and powerful politicians from the federal government, namely stamping out people’s freedom of speech, freedom of expression, human rights gathering, curbing opposition parties’ activities, curbing opposition parties’ gathering, arresting opposition parliamentarians and state assemblymen for doing their jobs, manning road blocks to increase traffic jams at peak hours, eyeing or planning something to prevent an imagining political unrest which will never happen at all, listening too much to the views of the Barisan Nasional (BN) politicians and lastly having no self judgment on what is right and what is wrong. That is why the crime rate in this country is so high.

We have cases now, houses and properties of prominent politicians, businessmen being robbed, intruded into, even retired top police officers’ residence are not spared as well. There are a few reports of senior police officers being badly injured by highly experienced professional criminals. We all also know, the police cannot even control the rising influence of the well known and notorious Malay motorcycle gangs known as “Mat Rempit” in Malay language. This is because these policemen are busy curbing opposition politics for the BN people.

The police are treating suspected petty criminals in a harshest manner whereas the harshest criminals like those “Mat Rempit” are treated in a softest manner. And they let Putera Umno do the rest when they were caught in illegal racings and committing other violent crimes.

When crime alert, they are nowhere to be seen, but when there is a cycling for public awareness on certain issues, human rights or some peaceful and harmless candle light vigil, the police are the quickest in coming over to haul up and beat up all these innocent and harmless people who were merely exercising their citizens rights just because they are opposition sided in their activities. Their views are, politics are more important than crimes. Their immediate superior is the home affairs minister who is also a prominent and powerful leader of the supremacist Umno and that is where they get their salaries from, so they must listen to him more, politically.

Then they come saying these gathering and that activity is illegal and there is no permit or permission and more and more reasons they give. It is all about the law, and this is what they always say. The citizens always break the laws. They and even the home affairs minister do not use their common sense to judge things in a humane manner.

Just imagine if there is a festive celebration going on at a place of worship and there are many people that who are going in the place of worship for the purpose of prayers, recitations, offerings, can you go arrest all those innocent people just because they are gathering there or the place of worship has been too overcrowded and there’s no permit for it or they fear that it will run out of control? We supposed the home affairs minister may take advantage of these and expand his powers onto such occasions one day, if the opposition parties were to make more inroads in the next general elections. Who knows?

Therefore, it has been very clear that the force has been overly and extensively made use by Umno to enhance its political interest. The force is not fully independent and it acts on the executive order of the dominant party in the country, and we all know who.

Therefore again, we need the Independent Police Complaints and Misconducts Commission (IPCMC) to take place in order to improve the situation, the structure, the organization and finally, to upgrade the professionalism of the police force. The police force need not fear of the IPCMC, the creation of IPCMC is to guide the force into a better and respected organization and trusted by the people.

The police force must understand the IPCMC is here to help, not to create more damages. Umno is still in a denial mode and we really hope that the police are not in a denial mode as well. So please, let us help each other and not fear each other instead.

Death of civilian under police custody, denial and cover-up

With another death as the result of police brutality, the call for an Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) to be established had once again resurfaced.

There is a need for the IPCMC to come into the picture as soon as possible because the police force had to-date yet to let seen any of its reforms or improvements as promised by the BN government earlier. In other words, nothing had really been done so far?

The assistance by the two deputy ministers in the prime minister’s department to the family of the deceased recently had also sparked protest and uneasiness from the police force for trying to seek the truth behind the cover-ups. However, the police has not being able to cover-up anymore, thanks to the fast and efficient acts of the two deputy ministers and the press as well to expose the wrongdoers who are also the murderers from within the police force.

Due to the wide publicity onto this murder, the attorney-general had no any other choice but to classify this case as murder and a file has been open to facilitate the charges onto those who involved.

And yet at the last moment, in order to avoid losing face, the home affairs minister Datuk Syed Hamid Albar try to stress that if the two deputy ministers were to be found to have been part of the group of aggrieve family members who ambushed and stormed into the mortuary to examine the body of the victim, they will be charged for the said offence.

Why did Syed Hamid trying to do something to deny the incident which had in actual fact already taken place and the truth has been established that those policemen had killed the 22 year old man while under detention. It proves that Syed Hamid is behaving like an ostrich now by trying to hide only his head under the sand thinking that nobody would ever know anything at all.

Syed Hamid also known as the “Father of Security Instability” is well known as an expert fast moving and committed liar in all areas he is involved with. Look at during the previous incident when the then Bukit Bendera Umno division chief Datuk Ahmad Ismail who uttered racist remarks on the Chinese community during an election campaign and a journalist reported his statement in the press.

Did you know what happened? Datuk Ahmad Ismail immediately admitted his racist statement and pledged to repeat his act again and called for the journalist who wrote his statement in the press to be arrested or killed. So, after that Syed Hamid immediately signed the detention order to detain the journalist who reported the incident to the press under the Internal Security Act (ISA) for the purpose of protecting her (the journalist) from any extremist threat.

So what happened is the real threat to the security Datuk Ahmad Ismail escapes untouched. Or could we say all Umno top leaders are untouchable because of their supremacist position in the party and the country.

Therefore, we need a new system of governance and a new government as well to let the truth prevail and give confidence and hope to the people and our nation.

Establish state level IPCMCs

With the reoccurrence of civilian death in police custody recently, we would not know how many more will happen again in future and the refusal of the Barisan Nasional (BN) federal government to commence with the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) bill in the parliament but to only proceed with an ineffective Special Complaints Commission (SCC) bill instead, we want to repeat our urge to the Pakatan Rakyat led state governments in Penang, Kedah, Perak, Selangor and Kelantan to establish the state level IPCMCs in their respective states.

We are very certain that, in the states’ constitution that governs the state administrative structure and the legislative proceedings, these state governments are entitle to establish a commission to investigate, service and to serve the public interest. We call it a state service commission. If the respective state governments can review their powers as mentioned in their state constitutions, we believe that the formation of the state level IPCMC could be carried out soonest without any interference or any judicial review.

If in event such measures contravenes with the federal constitution because the police force are under the federal jurisdiction, then the respective state legal panels should sit down and review an alternative approach like, forming a smaller entity called the State Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Committee (State IPCMC) or a State Legislative Committee on Police Watch and so on. There are numerous more approach and alternatives instead of merely instituting the IPCMC.

The State IPCMCs if materialize, should include appointees from the public, community leaders, non-governmental organizations, consumer associations, business leaders, state assemblymen and members of parliament. Besides, prominent persons with proven track records in public administration and all parts of communities should also be included in this organization in order to demonstrate its transparency and competency with the people and the general public entirely.

Therfore, we would like to urge the Pakatan Rakyat states to initiate the formation of the State IPCMCs first as soon as possible. The parliament is still dominated by the BN members, and there’s no way we could insist for the actual IPCMC bill to the end, unless there are BN MPs who are willing to lend their support to Pakatan Rakyat MPs. The problem is, will the BN whip ever allow this to happen?

The police failed because IPCMC failed to materialize

Recently, we had seen the police acted harshly against our fellow Pakatan Rakyat MP, State Assemblyman and the latest, a State Executive Councillor. Prior to that, even a State Executive Councillor was detailed under the Internal Security Act for a week at Umno’s instigation.

We could clearly see that the police force of today does too much work on political policing. The majority of the manpower in the force has been much concentrating on assisting Umno to curb the rising influence and popularity of Pakatan Rakyat.

As the result, the force is getting more corrupted and one-sided and listened too much to certain Umno top leaders. The top brass of the force are also seen to be leaning towards the dominant party in the Barisan Nasional in order to prevent the establishment of the Independent Police Misconduct and Complaints Commission (IPCMC). The police special branch’s headcount was increased to carry out these “political” tasks.

Therefore, an “understanding” might have taken place i.e. “make sure you don’t form the IPCMC to control us and we will take care of your political rivals for you” or “if you get IPCMC into the picture, we will increase the crime rates”. So, that is why the proposed IPCMC did not take place but instead a loosely Special Complaints Commission (SCC) was counter-proposed to do away with the original plan.

With this, the police got down to do its intense political policing for Umno by harassing the Pakatan Rakyat leaders and even their state governments. What happened after then?

You all could see it today, here, in front of you, almost daily! The crime rates in our nation are increasing drastically. Armed robbery, murder, rape, snatch thieves, kidnappings and various kinds of threats are happening everyday in our neighborhood, districts, states and the entire nation. Even innocent children are being kidnapped or brutally murdered. Where are the police when our people needed them so much?

The police were supposed to protect us from all these crimes around us but they were not there when we need them. They were busy fighting in politics on behalf of their political masters who are also well known with their racist supremacy, dominancy and neo-Nazi stand.

In this case, Pakatan Rakyat state governments should now start to initiate the establishment of a state level IPCMC each in Penang, Perak, Selangor, Kedah and Kelantan in order to observe and oversee the effectiveness of the police in their respective states.

Concurrently, in order to counter-balance the powers of the police, the Pakatan Rakyat state governments should also look into possibilities of establishing their own Security Force in order to provide effective security measures for their chief ministers and state executive councilors and to support crime prevention efforts by the respective state administrations as well.

The Pakatan Rakyat leaders should jointly come out with a firm resolution to deny the continuous display of power abuse by Umno and the police force onto our peace loving people and community.

Establish State Public Security Force in Pakatan Rakyat states

Based on the recent incident at the Petaling Jaya Civic Centre on 9 November, we had seen the police abruptly attacked a peaceful gathering of some Abolish ISA and BERSIH supporters during their candlelight vigil to celebrate the first anniversary of BERSIH, a coalition of political parties and NGOs for promoting free and fair elections.

Those peaceful people were attacked, beaten up and thrown onto the police black maria truck and taken to the police station later to be locked up in the cell. Among those who were attacked and beaten up were Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua, Kampung Tunku State Assemblyman Lau Weng Sang and Selangor State Executive Councillor Ronnie Liew.

Instead of protecting the public and to ensure their safety, the police force is now seen to be threatening the security of the public. The people no more trust the police force in ensuring security of their neighborhood. Who else we can depend on for safety of our people, our family and children with the continuous increase of criminal activities in our nation, such as murder, rape, assault, snatch thieves and a lot more to name. The worst scenario now is the police are even attacking the public who had gathered from all walks of life at a civic center just to sing Negaraku and to show their patriotism towards the nation.

So, the Pakatan Rakyat State Governments in Penang, Perak, Selangor, Kedah and Kelantan should come forward and come out with a contingency plan to jointly establish a Public Security Force in their respective states to provide better security for their people. Apart from assisting the existing enforcement agency in promoting security in these five states, the Public Security Force should be also tasked as an effective security force to counter the brutality of the currently BN controlled police forced which has been frequently used by the BN government to demonstrate its armed strength in the Pakatan Rakyat states.

The Pakatan Rakyat State Governments should have a security force of their own to protect their state administrations and state controlled infrastructures from being overran or overpowered by the BN federal government’s police force in future. We could see now the current situation, when the new BN-Umno leadership take place next year, some drastic move may be carried out by them to curb the Pakatan Rakyat controlled state governments of its powers and depriving their state executive orders.

In doing this, the BN-Umno government may in future exercise its federal power over these five states by moving its police force into these state administrations by force and retake control of these elected state governments. Who know it may happen, if the BN-Umno feels that their survival is at stake by then.

Therefore, the Pakatan Rakyat states ought to defend themselves from these possible threats from the BN-Umno controlled federal government. A competent and well respected Public Security Force is needed to ensure the security of these states and its people.
