AN OPEN LETTER TO YB TUAN ANTHONY LOKE ON THE PROPOSAL FOR TINTED CAR WINDOWS.

To the best of my knowledge, this is a spontaneous plan it needs special planning if not further research before implementing as this will inevitably bring the following problems:-

1.    PDRM simply and strongly oppose to this introduction as it will definitely increase crime rate to rise.

2.    Such, we must understand and respect what PDRM has to say.

3.    No only PDRM but anti-crime NGOs must also be included to give their view points on this issue namely Malaysian Crime Prevention Foundation (MCPF) needs to give their opinion on this matter, which will directly or indirectly bring many unnecessary problems to surface.

4.    This is nothing new – why do we need to introduce it? – is there a need to introduce it?

5.    The Ministry of Transport must do a careful precise investigation and study with the Rakyat, which has raised many objections

Well, I know that YB Tuan Anthony Loke is diligent in carrying out his work, sometimes think salient factors may be overlooked.

Over to you, YB Tuan Anthony Loke.
