‘Few are brave enough to complain against police but not this 21-year-old hawker.’
The troubling thing is that far too many ordinary Malaysians will believe the hawker because they have either experienced similar behaviour by the police or have heard too many friends and relatives telling them about similar experiences with the police.
Malaysians have known long ago it is never easy to complain against the police. But this hawker went ahead anyway. He already said he couldn't recognise the three police officers, but it doesn’t mean that justice cannot be done. But then, it can be expected in today’s Malaysia as it has been the case for years. The unexpected is now the expected.There is a likelihood that the PDRM’s version of this story is that the hawker was rude and refused to cooperate with the police who are checking his SOP compliance, etc, etc.
Generally, the police officers that I met with on the road so far are helpful and kind. But I have heard of certain bad apples that took advantage of the situation and bullied the weaker ones, the ordinary rakyat. So you cannot blame the rakyat for accusing the government of double standards.
