I am disgusted, thoroughly disgusted. A few days ago, the Malaysian Police managed to nab the gang that was responsible for the robberies of secluded petrol stations in Bukit Subang and Shah Alam. Two of the robbers (15yrs old, 20 yrs old) were shot dead after a long chase.

The family members of the dead robbers had lodged a police report and cried foul, blatantly claiming that their son is innocent and should have never been shot in the first place. They claim that the post mortem results indicate that one of the boys had a right black eye and both had multiple shot wounds.
I am so tempted to go up to the parents and knock them senseless. Can’t they see that their ‘innocent’ son is not so innocent? Can’t they realise that their so called angel might have held a weapon to a victim’s neck while his comrades-in-arms robbed the petrol stations. Can’t they open their eyes that their son had robbed hundreds from their robber heists? Can’t they realise that their heavenly sent son was in the car of the robbers, sitting with them and liasing with them?
What is the matter with the family members? Do they really think that the police would go trigger happy and shoot everyone that opposes them? Every bullet is accounted for and the paper works the poor officers will be doing is more than enough trouble to last him for a few weeks. If possible, the officers would not even want to draw their weapons.
Why is it every time a juvenile delinquent gets shot by the police for being in the wrong side of the law, the families of the dead will roar back in anger and determinedly put their foot down that their child is innocent (See Aminulrasyid case)? These families are selfish, inconsiderate and have no respect for the law. Just because their child is below the legal age, they think that their child is above the law? No one is above the law!
If their so-innocent child is as innocent as they claim to be, why in the world were their child out in such an ungodly hour, in a car and a few miles away from their home? Why are their child in the first place even liasing with people who bears weapon? Don’t tell me, the parents actually let their child out after 10pm?
Whatever happen to parents supervision? Whatever happen to know wherever your child is at every hour?
Perhaps Malaysia should take up the law of having kids below the age of 18 must be at home by 8pm unless accompanied by their parents like what Singapore did at sometime. That way, these nonsense would never come up. Police would not be blame for doing their job of upholding the law. ‘Innocent’ kids would not be ‘murdered’ in cold blood.
Furthermore if we do not trust the police with our lives, then who should we trust?
