Retired Chief Police Officer died fighting burglars at his own home

This summarises the rising crime rate in the country.
Does the police force has anything to say ?
Has anyone spared a thought for the man-on-the-street ?

More on the influx of illegal immigrants.
We hope Datuk Albert Mah did not die in vain.

Retired CPO died fighting robbersAlbert Mah, 82, a former CPO of Penang and a former Member of Parliament, died without gaining consciousness three days after he was attacked by robbers who broke into his home in Bukit Gasing, Petaling Jaya.

According to media reports, the Police did not answer his family's stress call within the benchmarked time-frame.

According to Oriental Daily News, the robbers had parked their getaway car in front of the house of the Prime Minister's son, which is merely doors away from Mah's.

Will the Prime Minister, who is also the Internal Security Minister who oversees the Police, consider the setting up of another 23-member Special Task Force to Bust Crime ala Pemudah, and give them 6 months to accomplish the task?

Well, IPCMC is now another matter not so fashionable to talk about anymore. In fact, Mah's neighbourhood communities of Section 5, Petaling Jaya, has beaten Putrajaya by announcing the setting up of the Albert Mah Foundation to Fight Crime, in his honour.

JUXTAPOSITION. During his police career, says Bernama, Mah had fought the communists, rid Ipoh of triads' menace, and tackled labour riots in Kuala Lumpur besides communal riots in Penang.

It's incredible to think that someone who had served in the police force for over 35 years still need to die fighting crime, all by himself.

To date, the robbers are still at large.
