Petition from JB people

Recently received few emails for this petition organised by Tiong-Hua Association JB.

Places where I lived for the past 31 years:

• Batu Pahat - 1976 to 1994 (18 years or 58% of my life)
• Johor Bahru - 1994 to 2001 (7 years or 23%)
  
• Kuala Lumpur - 2001 to 2006 (5 years or 16%)
  
• London - 2006 to present (1 year or 3%)

I had spent 7 years in JB, a city notorious of its crime rate. A female friend of mine told me before she got snatched 6 times in 2 years, now she dares not bring her IC out anymore, coz the registration department fined her and suspect she was selling her IC.

I don't think the snatch cases are being entertained much by the policemen, as it happens too frequent and it's almost impossible to track down the suspect, they could be all over the place in JB. Also, the policemen are normally busy hiding behind the bush and setting up road block to wait for the road offenders to come to themselves and to make a deal - summon or kasi chance.

It makes me remember one of my sub-contractor friend Ah Kuang, a 5 ft tall small guy. He hates snatch thief as his 70 years old mother was hurt in front of the house while gardening. There was once he saw a snatch case happened in Taman Sentosa, he chased and knocked the 2 snatch thieves down the bike with his Mercedes. The thieves pulled out the knives and he pulled out a parang and scared them away. He then burned the bike on the spot. Not the best way to solve the problem but I think it's better than making a police report, coz you will be just wasting your time.

I had signed up the petition to show some moral support. Perhaps someone needs to bring a death note to JB, rather than putting hope on the law.
