2 weeks ago we had 2 principals asking the non-Malays to go back to their forefather’s country and now we have a police officer who have said the same thing! I wonder where this country is heading to…….. This incident below clearly tells us the standard of English among our civil servants. Basically this police officer do not understand English and asked the complainant to speak in BM. This is a common phenomenon now. I had many teachers who were my patients but were unable to speak English when I explain to them in English. The best part was when I asked them what subject are they teaching in school, answer : Maths/Science!!! Aren’t this subject thought in English!

What happened to the 2 principals? Well, I heard one was transferred to office work and the other is on leave till completion of investigations. Why is it taking so long to take any action against these individuals? In our bloated civil service, it is a common phenomenon that any non-performing staffs are just transferred to another department. He/She receives the same salary but got to do lesser amount of jobs. Subsequently he/she will be promoted as anyone else based on seniority of service rather than performance. This is the reason why our civil service is rotting away, coupled with poor product of our education system.

I just had a retired ex-senior nurse who told me above the misery she has to undergo at a first class ward of a government hospital. Medications not served, no proper nursing and totally no caring attitude from the current generation of nurses! This is not a common findings if you are in a government hospital nowadays, poor quality of nurses. This retired nurse just asked me one question ” This happened to me in a first class ward, i wonder what the patients are undergoing in the 3rd class ward!” . I share the same feelings with her. Imagine, you can become a nurse with just 3 credits in SPM nowadays! What quality do you expect? And it is happening everywhere in our country. That is the reason why the FDI is dropping as we can’t provide enough human resource for any companies who wants to invest in this country. The good and hardworking ones will leave the country as they can’t tolerated these non-sense!

Racism: Cop under probe

City police chief DCP Datuk Muhammad Sabtu Osman said the inspector, in his 30s, was from the Sentul district police headquarters. He is being investigated by the city police headquarters disciplinary committee headed by the Chief Police Officer.

The officer, who is attached to the Criminal Investigation Depart­ment, has been temporarily relieved of his duties pending investigations. He is now handling administrative work.

He allegedly made the remark to housewife Loh See Moi, who was a snatch theft victim on Aug 24 in Kepong.

“The police force will not defend and protect any policemen, if they are guilty of wrongdoing,” said DCP Muhammad Sabtu.

Loh, from Selayang, lodged a police report against the inspector at the Jinjang police station yesterday, alleging that he had uttered these words: “Jika tak tahu cakap Bahasa Melayu, balik China” (go back to China if you can’t speak Bahasa Malaysia).

In her report, Loh said she had gone to the Kepong police station accompanied by her daughter Fong Ay Lian, 26, to lodge a report following the snatchtheft.

She said at the inspector’s office, her daughter spoke to the officer in English but he refused to entertain her as she was not the complainant.

Then as Loh began to relate her ordeal in English, the inspector made the remark.

Loh said she asked him in Bahasa Malaysia why he made the remark, saying that she was a Malaysian.

DCP Muhammad urged the public to lodge a report or complaint with their respective district police chiefs if they encountered problems with policemen or officers.

“I will be very disappointed if the allegations against my officer are true. We will investigate the matter thoroughly,’’ he added.
