10 years ago, there was the “Black Eye” incident. A Police Chief, whose duty was to make sure that humanity is protected by the laws of the country, broke the law and almost broke the eyeball as well of a former DPM .. The incident created waves of disbelief and anger. The person who was supposed to protect you suddenly became the person harming your life…No one felt safe anymore, and credibity of the force became low because of the action of One Man, who was later on charged in Court and jailed for a very short duration, about 40 days.
Many in the Force at that time must have seen and heard of this beating. And these are people who know the law, otherwise they cannot enforce the law. Under the law, it is a crime not to report a crime when a person comes to know about the crime. SO there are many who were in the know who did not come forward to report their knowledge.
Casting aside whether one likes the former DPM or not, this beating is very wrong and those who are in the know and did not report are in the wrong , too. If we want to gain back the credibility of our enforcement and judiciary, we need to really push to have anyone fabricating evidence or covering up to be charged according to the law of the day. Of course, there must be fair investigation, and there must be evidence. The most important thing is to have No Cover Up.
Truth will ultimately prevail. Anything swept under the carpet and covered by the carpet will not vanish but will one day be exposed. This is the law of the nature. What goes round comes around!
The country really needs to purge all the unlawful ways of doing things, benting the law to suit individuals in high positions or with good connection.. If this trend continues, our children and future generations will suffer. The country will degenerate into a society where the rich and the powerful will always escape from misconduct whereas the poor and the ordinary peple will have no avenue to address their woes against the rich and powerful.
This is a country ruled by Law and not by Man. Everyone should goes back to the basic of ” All are equal under the law”, and Law should be supreme. Look at Hong Kong. No one is above the law, and that is an Asian society too. There must be no compromise when it comes to crime. Only then can be gain back the trust of our own people.
