Recently my house was broken into and until today, there was no news from the police. When I asked around, everyone gave me the same feedback. Malaysian police can't be rely on. Don't you think it's sad to hear 10 out of 10 people told me the same thing? Mind you, it seems that almost everyone had that kind of experience with Malaysia's police.
When my house was broken into, our security guards weren't aware of it until I came home finding my kitchen window is wide opened! Yup, you guess it right. My place has 24 hours security guards and I have to pay a few hundreds ringgits of maintenance fees every month. And this is the result.
Our building management, well, the council people tried to do something but, honestly there's no follow up. They did sent a warning letter to the security company and that's it. I asked a few times on the status and there's none.
The police sargent who took my case, told me it could be an insiders job and there were already a few units been broken into before. OK, so what's the actions taken? None. He told me that day there were more than 10 cases, blah blah blah. One of the 'pecah rumah' cases was someone with a high ranking so they had to spend more time at his place. So we commoners are not important? I waited till 1pm for them to arrived. I told them the thief used my cards and his face was in the cctv, his car but he said, burn a copy send the evidences to his office. I'm not sure if we are really short of police that night, but if they act promptly, there's a chance they can catch up with the thief.
Oh I want to let everyone know the thief is a chinese guy ya. This is because we, Malaysians are still very racist. We always... immediately assumed is the other races! Criminals are race-less. They are just criminals, come from all sizes and races. There is no one race that don't have bad eggs. So please stop judging races.
Honestly, Malaysia is still far from being a safe country to live in. You may be angry with my statement but it the sad truth. Dare you walk out at night at a dark alley or quiet street? Snatch thieves, robbers into your house, these are daily news in Malaysia. If a garden or condo or apartment has a case, I guarantee you it's not just one case. It's a continuous cases. If your community has money and unity, they hire security guards for night shifts. If you live in a neighborhood where everyone doesn't care for the others, then you'll see houses grilled their home like a maximum security prison!
There is no suburb or garden that is safe to live. It really depend on the neighborhood. There are still a few safer neighborhoods in Klang Valley if you can find it.
Lastly you may think if it's not safe in Malaysia why do I still live here? Because this is my home, my country.
