治安敗壞，警方束手無策！

美里治安敗壞，警方真的束手無策？
The crime rising in Miri, The police are at the wits end﹗

The crime in Miri is rising dramatically, are the police really at their wits end?On the 15th this month, robbery again happened in a sumptuous mansion, 6 masked bandits with 2 guns and long knives, subdued the security guides, looted few hundred thousand of the mansion belongings and fled without a trace, after the owner of the house escaped from the tie up, he called the hotline of the police station at once, but no one received the call for about ten minutes, this incident had caused all people panic-stricken.

The newspapers had published several incidents regarding the stolen of the shop houses′ electric cables, the residents had made reports but the police didn’t even reach the scene to have a look.

Some residents complained, reporting case in police station is always time-consuming, the police only emphatically to make a record and they refused to take down the details or process of the case happened and the loss occurred as well as refused to write down the suspect which were told by the victim during the time of reporting, unless the victim intended to ask for compensation from the insurance company, if not, most of them chose not to report the case.

Even Miri Supp youth wind also showed concern to the criminal cases which occurred repeatedly in Miri, he thought the patrol police should not only ban the traffic violators, these work should be handed over to the traffic enforcement group to carry out, the patrol police supposed to pay great attention on the work of banning the criminal offense. He called upon the concerned authority to enforce the law in banning the sunglasses vehicles owners in order to prevent from the criminal cases happen repeatedly.

The MP of Bintulu hoped that the police can solve the cases through the clues which are provided by the suspect, but not to simply give a perfunctory explanation to the people. In some cases, the arrested suspect can be bailed out to wait for the trial, finally due to the insufficient of evidences, or just because of a small pinch of the police have little knowledge about the law, legal technical faults appear and make the suspects remain out of the law′s reach. In accordance with the banned munitions flow to the evil men, this MP expressed his disappointment on the Special Branch of the Police Headquarter in Sarawak and the custom department, because the similar cases had demonstrated that these departments lacked of sensitiveness toward the munitions circulation in the black market. He called upon the custom department to investigate thoroughly the officials to see whether they involve in collusion with any illegal parties. He also hoped that the Ministry of BPR not to deal cases with standing and waiting the bird to come manners, and time after time if there is no one reports and no action to be taken. The concerned department should take the move proactively. He also criticised that a small pinch of police guarded slackly did not check attentively on the roadblock.

There are only 2 directions for the external liaison paths in Miri, one leads to Brunei and the other leads to Bintulu. Need to pass through a checkpoint before passing through the roadway to Brunei, bandits usually will not choose to escape through this direction. Therefore, if the police set up a checkpoint along the coastal highway and the Miri-Bintulu road, inspect strictly for all the suspicious vehicles, this can prevent the bandits to run away toward another town effectively to avoid the capture of the police, thus, this can reduce the probability for the bandits to commit a crime in Miri, even after they did, they are still difficult to run away from Miri, and police may come in with “a jar to seize the turtles”.

In fact, the checkpoint which was set up by the police along Miri - Bintulu Road and occasionally the road check along the coastal highway, as if they are unable to develop fully effectiveness. The plunderage of a sumptuous mansion happened not long ago and a case of car robbery, due to the broken down of the 4 wheel drive , the bandits left it on the roadside which is not far from the Batu Nian town, cases like car stealing, car robbery and the plunderage of the sumptuous mansion still happen repeatedly in Miri. On 12 Dec 2007, Timbalan Ketua Polis Negara Dato Mohd Najib disclosed, a small pinch of the police in the police, colluded with the illegal group, ruined the prestige and the image of the police.

We may see criminal cases happen incessantly from the newspaper reported every day. The increasing of the crime rate has caused restlessness in people. The government should take quick action to set up the independent investigation committee. First to reconstruct the law enforcement department such as the police force and the BPR (Badan Pencegah Rasuah), so as to uncover the government servants who involve in abusing of the power as well as who involve in corrupt practice, then to assure the law enforcement departments operate effectively so as to achieve maximum efficiency in tackling criminal cases, instead of relying completely on the present malpractice of the law enforcement department to improve the public security!

本月15日美里又發生一宗持槍洗劫豪宅案，6名蒙面槍匪手持2槍和長刀，制服保安，洗劫豪宅財物數萬元後遁逃無踪，屋主脫綁後便第一時間致電警方，可是警局熱線電話却響了十分鐘沒人接聽，這案件己經使得人心惶惶。

報章也數度報導店屋電纜被盜的事件，市民報案但警察却沒到現場的新聞。

有些市民投訴，前往報案費時費事，在報案時警方只著重在做紀錄上，案發的經過和損失却拒絕在報案書裡記錄下事主所說的涉嫌人士。如有關市民並非為了向保險公司索賠，多數不會選擇報案。
就連美里人聯青年團也對頻頻發生的罪案表示擔憂他認為巡邏警不應只取締違反交通者，這些工作應交由交通執法組去做，而巡邏警察則應注重於刑事犯罪的取締工作，他呼籲有關當局應該執法取締墨鏡車主，防止罪案的頻頻發生。

民都魯的國會議員更希望警方通過嫌犯提供的線索破案，而不要給予人民事後敷衍塞責，有的案件所逮捕的嫌犯得以保外候审，最終又面對証據不足，更或是警方因為小撮警務人員不偣法律程序、出現法律技術失誤而又讓嫌犯消遙法外。針對禁制的軍火流入不法之徒手中，這位國會議員對砂州警察總部的政治部，海關部門表示失望，因為類似案件已顯示該部門對黑市軍火的流通缺乏敏感度。他呼籲海關部門，徹查官員是否涉及貪污或與不法分子勾結。他也希望我國的反貪污局不要“以靜制動”的方式來應對，而且一貫式的表示若無人報案，該部就不能採取任何行動。他也咸認為一小撮警員在路障臨檢時不認真及戒備鬆懈。

美里對外連絡道路只有兩個方向，一是通往汶萊而另一則是通往民都魯。通過汶萊的道路需要通過關卡，匪徒在幹案後通常不會選擇從這個方向逃遁。因此，如果警方在沿海大道和美民公路設立檢查站，嚴格檢查來往的可疑車輛，可有效阻止匪徒在幹案後逃往他省，來避開美里警方的追捕，從而減少匪徒選擇在美里幹案的機率，或即使幹案後也難逃離美里，警方便可以來個瓮中捉鱉。

實際上，警方在美民公路設立的檢查站和偶爾在沿海大道的路檢，似乎並無法發揮很大的作用。不久前發生的劫豪宅搶車案中的四驅車由於發生故障而被匪徒棄置在離石山鎮不遠的路邊，美里仍然頻頻發生偷車、搶車、劫豪宅的罪案。

大馬副總警長拿督納吉更於12/02/07的揭露，警隊中的一小撮害群之馬，居然與外頭的非法集團互相勾結，造成警隊聲譽與形象損毀。

在報章上每天都可以看到層出不窮的罪案發生，本區治安的的敗壞已經引起許多人民的不安。政府應該要盡快著手設立獨立調查委員會，先從整頓執法部門如警隊和反貪污局著手，以揪出各方涉及貪污濫權的公僕，確保執法部門有效的運作才能以最高的效率來打擊罪案。而不是全然倚賴目前內部充斥弊端的執法部門來改善治安！
