What are the police doing in Sungai Long?

It’s almost a week since the murder of the 16 years old Chinese took place in Sungai Long. Until now, nobody is yet to be arrested. This news is also clamped down in all media. When I went out to town yesterday at 5pm, I saw a police car nearby the secondary school(where the murder took place).

This is the exact place where the incident happened, just in front of the secondary school’s bus stop.



When I was on my way out of Sungai Long, there’s a road block just before Everhome Furniture. What are the police doing here? They should go and arrest the suspects but not setting up road blocks and causing traffic jam. When I came back to Sungai Long at around 11pm, to my surprise the police are still there! This time they flashed the torch to the windscreen(checking the Roadtax) whenever a car pass by. They are trying to conceal the fact that this operation has got something to do with the murder. There is also a police who is holding a gun. It’s not a handgun or pistol but sort of machine gun. This is the first time I see police holding machine gun during road block.



I’ve heard some “unofficial” news. They said that the Malay guy who was initially arrested and handcuffed (but was released later) is the culprit. But his father has some “background” so the police are forced to set him free. During the night where the incident took place, the victim’s uncle received a phone call to “settle” this issue but was rejected by the victim’s uncle. They also said that Sungai Long MCA is pressing the police to investigate this case fairly. The police have dismissed claim about racial element in this incident. But I’m sure that there are some political elements in it.

It is very obvious that the police are not doing their work. They are not allowed to arrest the culprit. What they could do is to “protect” the residents in Sungai Long from the same gang of people to cause trouble in Sungai Long. But how long could the police do this(setting up road blocks and patrolling)? Could they do this for 24 hours a day? Another very funny thing is that, the road blocedk is not the only way to enter Sungai Long. No doubt, that is the main road to enter Sungai Long. The gang of people could still enter Sungai Long using the Silk Highway(there is no road blocks there). Even if the police are so “smart” to set up another road block there, there is still another way to enter Sungai Long – from Mahkota Cheras, passing through a small lane using motorcycles(cars can’t go through).

Right now, UTAR is on a semester break and there are not many students in Sungai Long and this issue couldn’t “hot up”. Besides that since the victim is a school leaver, it is also easier for the police to cover up this issue. Should the victim is still schooling, I believe the media would cover this news on their front page and Hishammudin(Education Minister) will again be the “popular” man.

This is the first time I feel so insecure living in Sungai Long. As long as the culprits are not arrested, there is always a possibility for them coming back to Sungai Long and cause trouble. Who will be the next victim? The residents here are so hopeless. I urged the police to take immediate action against the culprit and give a good explanation not only to the victim’s family but to all residents in Sungai Long.
