Information & Investigation

We often read how the police successfully resolve a case working from "tip off".At times our police force seems to work intelligently from information gathered from the unreveal sources. However, they seems to be boy scouts in their training, unable to look out for clue from information given to them from the various expressed media reporting.

You ask around and find out why people are so reluctant to make police reports at the various police stations. It is very often "tiring" and "wasting of time". Some time your good intention of sounding the larm through your report retuned with redicule and insults. In fact, many of the police personnel need some kind of relationship training.

Now back to information--- from expressed sources like Malaysiakini, newspaper reporting, police reports as well as telephone and sms messages from unrevealed informers etc. It is only right that the police department organising a small ISC (information screening committee) to look through all available information and channel some targeted cases for priliminary investigation. From such report of the priliminary investigation strike out what seems insignificant cases. However, a formal investigation should be carried out for cases that seems to carry some truth, for juctice as well as for criminal investigation.

It is up to the party concern to sue the writers and sources of the media for reports and news that carry defamatory objective.Thus we see that the police need not be worried about who leaks a certain medical report. It is the interest of the police that such report exists. It is the job of the defender to proof that the report is forged. Once it is proved so, the defender must make it a case so that the police can take it from there.

It is not the interest of the police as how such a photo exists. It is enough to have it on show and to investigate further. It is the defender who has to prove that it is a manipulated photograph or video tape etc.

Until and unless the police learn to start working from the right approach, who would dare to stand at the witness stand?Until and uless the police appreciate and protect informers, who would dare to come to the open?

Thus it is my intend that this small sharing will provoke our thoughts to approach issues correctly.
