Assoc Prof Datuk Mohamad Ali Hasan, president of the National Parent-Teacher Association Collaborative Council proposed that Malaysia implement a national curfew to safeguard our children as practised in countries like Japan, Britain, Iceland, Germany and Singapore.
You must have your head up yours if you think you can impose a national curfew without a severe backlash. It will be a violation of teenager's basic rights. Quite frankly stop being such a nanny. The government need not step in to tell teens what time they have to sleep. Checking ID after 11pm? On what grounds? When has this treatment of your own citizens like criminals or illegal immigrants started?
Malaysian Crime Prevention Foundation Vice-Chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam who has some common sense in objecting the curfew miss the spot as well. It's not just some teenagers who hang out late who knows how to differentiate between right and wrong. By saying that, you're implying that the rest and the majority of teens who hang out late are criminals. Really?
Time to get your heads out of the sand. Every citizen, young and old alike, should be able to have the right to go out in their own country at any time they like without prejudice and fear for their own safety. Maybe you should be looking at the police instead, whose IGP immaturely lashed back out at critics, saying he could call his men off the streets if that was what the people wanted This is indeed shocking.
"If you do not want the police to enforce the law, then say so," he said. I can tell my men to not take any action, including conduct inspections on vehicles or arrest Mat Rempit who ride without licences," he told reporters.
Just kind of reflects on the entire attitude of the police force with such a IGP. A word of advice to the IGP from a humble citizen, the criticism comes with the fucking job. If you can't take it, maybe you should just resign.Stop playing the blaming game. Investigate what happened in the shooting of that teenager with due diligence and transparency, and stop blaming.
