【亞庇廿五日訊】亞庇路陽(Luyang)喜嶺苑(Taman Hilltop) 今午一時光天化日發生一宗打劫案件，一名傅姓華裔女子駕駛的豐田VIOS轎車遭二名歹徒劫走，截至今晚仍未見蹤影。

路陽)\(Luyang)喜嶺苑(Taman Hilltop)最近治安不靖，已成為罪犯黑區，該地區於本月九日亦曾發生偷竊案件，該區家鄉牛雜專賣店(Ngui Chap Shop)及一間美髮店(Saloon)遭賊徒破門行竊，希望警方能加強該區之治安措施

and another unpleasant news entitled 'Sunrise Shock For Woman'
reported by Jimmy Goh / Daily Express dated 27-June-2009 stating that
'A woman visitor's plan to watch the sunrise at the waterfront ended in her being bundled into a car by four men near a hotel in Segama, downtown Kota Kinabalu, Friday.' She was abducted but unhurt, and she was very lucky indeed.

Both incidents happened in broad day light. It looks as if the police are openly and deliberately challenged by the criminals. Women were the victims in both incidents and as always, the suspects were usually men.

In the efforts to promote the advantages of the country for tourism, especially the Sabah state, the security aspect is one of the utmost importances in the quest to become a tourist's preferred choice of holiday destination.

Citing several bad experiences from friends revealed that they would be reluctant to neither revisit nor recommend the unpleasant place to friends. The tourism industries, under the helm of Tourism Ministry, must have a say in the measures in security of protecting the visiting foreigners.

Although the incidents may be statistically insignificant, however, a drop of rat faeces time and again proves that it could spoil the whole soup.

The police and the Home ministry, including the Immigration Department, must in this case displaying their worth by speedily solve these cases, and bringing down the crimes to an acceptable level in days than months.

Honestly, two incidents in two days is a bit too much for a small city like Kota Kinabalu, and I'm only talking about the cases published in the paper; what about those other crimes committed? As some friends said to me, there are many more cases unresolved with the police force.

It’s time to change and raise the standard of police force to international standard, especially on efficiency. People has had enough negative impression on the police, and for pride sake, the police should turn it around and show to their bosses, the people or Rakyat, that they are competent and worth the respect they deserve.

Of course, they also have to make sure that they work equally for all, and not just some minority people only.
