People first, Performance now?

It happened yesterday when my friend's bf got hit by his fellow colleague in a heated argument during work and then after he complained about that incident to the manager, he got hit by the colleague again! The manager ignored the incident because he has got related interest with the colleague. He even asked the poor guy to forget about the incident and the chap, with his bleeding lips continued to work double shifts.


When my friend found out about it, she brought him to lodge a police report in Kepong. While in Kepong police station, the policemen asked them to go to Damansara police station to make a statement as the incident happened in that vicinity. Off they went to Damansara police station and the policeman in Damansara asked them to go home and wait as he'll need confirmation from Kepong police station before taking statement.


So now she's at home waiting for the call, which is yet to come. This upsets her as since she was already there in person, why does she need to go home and wait for confirmation from Kepong police station? Why cant the policeman take the statement straight away?


However, like most Malaysian, she does not understand that police and military forces all over the world exist mainly to maintain the status quo on behalf of the power-wielders, viz., the plutocracy (those who rule through the power of money and the resources that they control).


Yes, in Malaysia, the police force and military were established (with our tax money) not to protect us but to protect the power structure from being destabilized by those "rebelling" against the system. For instance the reckless use of FRU during every peaceful protest in KL, I’m not going to name it but then it’s weird the FRU were nowhere to be seen during the cow head protest. *here*


Ok let’s not drift too far from the topic,

What happened to 1Malaysia – People First, Performance Now?
