It is sad to see there is a high percentage of Malaysians still having a bad perception of the police force just because of some bad apples out there.
I, for instance, was one of them.
Having lived abroad for the past 31 years, I heard or read a lot of bad things about our police whenever I came back to Malaysia for holidays.
I never imagined or expected to work closely with the force until I was involved with a residents association.
Six months of working closely with the Serdang police are enough for me to acknowledge and confirm that I have been wrong about the police force all this while. The actual scenario is not even close to what others have been preaching to me over the past few years.
Personally, I find the majority of them casual, friendly, caring, attentive, helpful and effective. This is a fact and I am not trying to boot-lick anyone.
Our RA, for example, has been patrolling with the police in various parts of Puchong, especially areas deemed as crime hot spots, for some time now.
The policemen are keen to ensure our safety and ever willing to join us on our foot patrols for hours and hours at night.
I have witnessed this so many times and am grateful for their sacrifices and contributions.
As a matter of fact, Serdang OCPD Supt Abd Razak Elias is expected to join our patrols on July 29. Everyone is welcome to join in.
The public should change their perception of the police and work together with them to fight crimes instead of complaining.
