The Crime that Started the Fire
In a late night of March 2009, a person was mugged in Petaling Jaya. Four men in two motorcycles attacked him. This person lost a finger that night. His finger detached from his hand.
This is no ordinary incident. This person took pictures of his yet-to-be bandaged four-fingers hand, and post it on Facebook. And he is someone I know. This is almost like war. They come, they hurt you, and they take your things. As if there is not any law in this country.
It dawned on me when I saw that picture of the hand with four fingers. Crimes are no longer some snippets we read in newspaper, happened to faceless people in unknown locations. Crimes are real incidents happening to familiar people near our homes. One day it WILL happen to us and our families.
Unless we do something about it. But how?
Police fight crimes with guns. We will fight crime with information. This is what Malaysia Crime is all about.
Armed people with enough information about where, when, and what are the crimes … and they will come together to prevent future crimes. Businesses will chip in because there is money to be made. Government agencies will align themselves because it’s so much easier to work together. And the public will have a united stand against crimes because of the awareness.
When there is enough information and economic incentives, … the problem solve itself.
