Are We Heading Towards Lawlessness?

The authorities continue to tell us that crime rates are falling. But Malaysian don't feel assured.

If a chief minister's safety cannot be assured, what can we ordinary Malaysians expect?

Lim Guang Eng, Penang's chief minister, claimed that he was roughed up yesterday by a member of Perkasa, the Malay right wing group, at theTeluk Bahang market in Penang, while the police just stood by and watched without doing anything to stop or arrest the culprit.

Also check out the Malaysian Insider report.

Now, this is bad. How are we ordinary Malaysians to feel safe if the authorities won't lift a finger to help a chief minister in distress and at risk of assault and harm in full view of them?

Is there no law and order anymore? Or are we Malaysians to assume that the law applies only to certain people and not to others?

Perkasa seem to be a privileged lot. They seem to be able to get away with a lot of things they do that others won't be able to.

And as if to give the lie to the claim that crime rates have gone done, here's news. and here's news

Kluang was a sleepy hollow, but is fast becoming a bustling town. You can't miss the bust-shaped gunung Lambak lording over the place and the town is well known for its tv brand coffee powder

Kluang RailCoffee
The Kluang railway station coffee shop, now re-branded Kluang RailCoffee, is well known for its cuppa of coffee and the charcaol grilled piping hot buns oozing with butter and kaya...It used to attract standing-room only crowds. It still does, but the last time I was there it wasn't a good experience for me. The famous coffee had somewhat lost its oomph and even the buns...The shop has a long and noted history being first opened for business in 1938 and the place is now run by the 3rd generation LIm family. I hope the next time I return, the coffee would regain its oomph. Click to read more...
