Cries of police officers baffling activists

PETALING JAYA: The vice chairman and the executive council member of the Malaysian Crime Prevention Foundation have expressed disbelief towards the plight of police officers in the country.

The issue was highlighted in a story FMT carried yesterday upon interviewing some personnel from the force.

When called for comments, Lee Lam Thye and Robert Phang were stunned to be made aware that police personnel are facing shortage of funds in their respective departments.

Earlier, in a phone conversation, Lee requested FMT to send an email with regards to the issue as he has yet to be briefed about the matter.

However, later in a short sms exchange, Lee notified FMT that he wished to personally check and confirm the issues before making any comments.

“I am sorry, no comment at the moment, I wish to check and confirm the matter first,” said Lee who is also a social activist.

On the other hand, Phang when contacted repeatedly asked whether the allegations by police officers came from solid data.

“Are you sure this is happening,” he asked.

Upon being given more details, Phang immediately told FMT that the occurring problems have to be addressed as soon as possible; and further stressed that it must be stopped immediately.

PREVENTION OF CRIME ACT: Select outspoken panellists

THE government should refrain from appointing "shoeshine guys" to sit on the Prevention of Crime Board under the newly passed Prevention of Crime (Amendment and Extension) Act (PCA) 2013.

They should opt for outspoken individuals, besides those from the judiciary, among academicians and non-governmental organisations (NGOs). The panel members should also be increased to five from three.

A panellist with legal knowledge would be able to upkeep justice, while an academician could provide a philosophical aspect to the law. NGO members will provide check and balance.

They are the ones who go to the ground to get feedback and know the sentiments on the ground.

The NGO members must have the guts to speak without fear or favour. They must be apolitical. 
I would like to offer myself for the post because I can speak my mind.

The board has an important role in the PCA as its members have the power to send a criminal on a two-year detention without trial and can further extend the detention period by another two years.

The government should consider including a provision in the act to allow detainees to periodically seek judicial review on a detention order.

We should allow criminals to challenge the decision. Otherwise, it is going to be hard for the people to accept the act, as it can be considered a human rights violation.

防範罪案委員會不應委任“應聲虫”或“擦鞋仔”

習近平夫人~彭麗媛的一段話

“女人只要管好自己，已經很了不起，

  幹嗎要去管男人呢？

  聽話的男人不用管，

  不聽話的男人，要管也管不到，

  對你好的男人不用管，

  對你不好的男人，不會讓你管，

  愛你的男人不用管，

  不愛你的，輪不到你管。”

∼努力去做這樣的女人:

1【投資自己】

如果一個女人在最重要的幾年中，投資的是一個男人，那麼之後的幾十年裡，你將不斷求著這個男人不要離開你。

如果你投資的是自己，那麼你會很順利的收穫真正屬於你的愛情，愛情是以物質為基礎的奢侈的精神享受。

認准一句話：只有當自己處於一個最好的姿態，才會有好男人來愛你。

2【做一個獨立的女人】

——思想獨立。有主見、有自己的人生觀、價值觀。有上進心,永遠不放棄自己的理想，做一份自己喜愛的事業，擁有快樂和成就感。

——經濟獨立。不依賴男人。自強自立的女人才更自信、更有人格魅力！

3【給自己充電】

現在的社會發展很快，競爭激烈，想讓自己在眾人中脫穎而出，就必須給自己充電，不斷學習各種知識技能，不斷完善自己。

4【做讓人賞心悅目的女人】

“沒有醜女人，只有懶女人”。

盡可能把自己打扮得：乾淨、精緻、時尚、令人愉悅 。女人可以不漂亮，但絕不能沒有氣質。 如果對於自己形象懈怠了、放鬆了、邋遢了，

那麼魅力也就減弱了。如果你連自己都不愛自己，那誰還會來愛你！ ^_^

5【學會寬容】

看穿但不說穿，該明白的明白，該裝傻的時候大智若愚。很多事情，只要自己心裡有數就好，睜一隻眼閉一隻眼，沒必要的就不要說出來。

在不違背原則的情況下對別人要寬容,能幫就幫，不要把人逼絕,記得給人留條後路。要有包容一切的胸懷。

6【真正的魅力】

真正有魅力的女人在事業上才華盡現，懂得如何在社交中顯示自己的智慧、發揮自己的才幹。

真正有魅力的女人在男人面前談吐風雅 、不卑不亢、將女人的美與睿智，機敏與體貼表現的淋漓盡致。

真正有魅力的女人在生活中會主宰自己的命運， 會調劑愛人情感，會製造浪漫情調。

7【學會平衡，討人喜歡】

好女人會平衡各種人際關係。不一味追求不切實際的東西,不說三道四製造矛盾，量力而行，量體裁衣，知足者常樂。

8【智慧】

智慧，是一種理性，一種思維方式。智慧的女人，知道自己要什麼，懂得自己該做什麼不該做什麼。不以賣弄自己的學歷和知識為榮，

而是更加注重運用。智慧的女人，懂得辨別男人，不會把心血浪費在不值得的男人身上。

9【善良的好女人】

善良不是軟弱更不是退讓，而是從不主動傷害別人，不會糾纏不休，懂得適可而止。

為人處世以誠相待，不欺騙，不撒謊。

以誠懇善良的心去面對所有的人。

10【寧缺毋濫】

不要因為寂寞隨手抓一個男人，這對你和他都不公平，對你不喜歡的追求者要堅定拒絕 。

如果發短資訊給你喜歡的男人，他不回，不要再發。

如果男人以他忙為理由，不回你的資訊，不關心你，勇敢一點，自動離開，然後去愛一個愛你的人。

PCA Panelist or Members Must Have Guts :- Speak and Act Without Fear and Favour

Former MACC advisory panel member also urges government to make amendments to the PCA so that a detention order can be challenged in court.


KUALA LUMPUR: The government should refrain from appointing “shoeshine guys” to the proposed three-member Prevention of Crime Board under the newly passed Prevention of Crime (Amendment and Extension) 2013 Act.

“They should opt for outspoken individuals like me,” said Social Care Foundation chairman Robert Phang.

The Prevention of Crime Board is set to play an important role in the PCA as its members have the power to send a person for a two-year detention without trial.

The board can then further increase the detention period by another two years. PCA prohibits judicial reviews on the board’s decisions except on procedural requirements.

The Prevention of Crime Board is to consist of a former judge of the Federal, Appeals, or High Court, and two other people whose qualifications are not specified.

The government has not mentioned any names to be part of the board.
