255 CCTVs to Fight Crime???


It can't get more ridiculous than this. 255 CCTVs purchased for RM365mil to ITS Konsortium to be used by the police to fight crime. City Hall and ITS will together monitor and reduce the crime rate in Federal Territory. Although I do applaud the use of technology, but is it really necessary to purchase another 255 CCTVs when about 14 are already installed at the Golden Triangle, I wonder where these 255 units are going to be placed? It is supposingly to be used also to monitor traffic offenses. Are we forgetting that traffic offenses comes in package with the infamous "duit kopi"? So, can it be used to reduce "duit kopi" too? Or is the CCTVs going to manned biasly? Who's gonna make sure it's not going to be abused? This is, I feel another sorry excuse for certain groups to gain revenue from this, for the people supposed to protect us to sit their lazy ass monitoring the CCTVs, or to hire more useless people to man this system. The higher crime rate in Malaysia is not only because of high invasion of immigrants, but I feel its because the 'rakyat' lacks respect for the police workforce, have heard of the notorious police workforce and thus the 'rakyat' has altogether lost confidence in them....Now that's what the govt should tackle...The real root cause of high crime rate, not by going behind the cameras.....
