Robbery at Likas Part II

Posted by Jeffrey on February 12, 2007

Missed the first part? Read it here.

We went to the police station at around 7pm and 2 female officers took our statement. All police reports nowadays are done online. They keyed in all of our information and the records are straight kept in the Bukit Aman database kunun (so say one of the officers who was trying hard to tell us to make us drop dead in amazement).

Among the awkward questions asked were our religion and race. Hmmm.

The police report took almost 45 minutes because the officer was typing with one finger. No comment.

In the middle of it, a plainclothed policeman came and asked what was our case. When the policewomen told him that our car was broken into, he said “tiada yang lebih menarik lagi kah?”. Which means “nothing more interesting that this?”.

Oooo-kay.

The question at the end of making the report caught us by surprise. They asked “so what is the objective of you making this report?”

And I was confused. I replied “Errmmm isn’t this the law or something? I mean, the ladies need to replace their ICs right?”

Police Officers : Yes that’s right you need this police report to apply for new ICs but do you want us to do a follow-up on this?

Me : ?????

Police Officers : If you just want to apply for a new IC then no need to instruct us to do a follow-up.

Me : Oh. Errr.. Can’t I ask for both?

Police Officers (with a very discouraging tone) : No. Besides if you ask us to follow-up, there will be many more things to. All of you have to attend interviews, visit the scene and take pictures again. Very troublesome for you!

*troublesome for who actually?*

Me : Cehh.. No wonder lah so many times already things like this happened!

Police Officers : ?????

Me : Nothing la. Bah if that’s the case, then we just want to claim for new ICs lah.

Police Officers : Okay sure ah? There’s no more U-turn.

Me : Ya lor.

So by then, I figured out already why the thieves are still breaking into cars every other day. It’s because the police officers are busy investigating for more “interesting” cases… oh I don’t know, maybe catching rapists and killers.

While I agree that the police should get their priorities right but totally ignoring on small cases like ours will actually make it more “interesting” with the increasing statistics.

So as a good citizen of this lovely but infested-with-power-hungry-politicians state, I am praying that one of our Datuk YB (VIP) will have his car broken into and lose his ICs and Rolex watch.

Then cases like this will get the even small attention that it deserves.
