Jee’s Life

Let’s face the fact, no matter what our Malaysia police are going to implement for crime prevention, our crime rate is not likely to significantly reduce in the next few years.

Effectiveness of law enforcement could reduce crime but it’s never the root for crime prevention, education and parenthood could prove more vital to reduce crime rate in long run.

Ask yourselves a few questions..

Say if we have no police forces in Malaysia at all, will you commit a violence crime?

You are jobless and you need money, will you take a knife, go out and rob someone?

Will you involved in illegal drugs selling if we don’t have death penalties?

I won’t, cause it’s not in my principle to commit any harm to others regardless of the rewards or punishment. And I believe lots of people will think the same way too.

(If any of your answer is yes.. you need some serious consultation.)

I’m not borned with this kind of mentality, I’m shaped into who I am from childhood education (thanks to parents and teachers) and the friends that I met and meet all along the way.

Childhood education and peers influence play a huge part in shaping a person morality and principles.. and with the recent development it seems like some parenting and education in Malaysia are going the wrong way.

Malaysia education system is falling apart with over emphasis on academic results and neglecting the moral values.

How often have we seen some students being push to the edge just because they are poor in studies? Too often.

And how often do we seen the troublemakers given proper consultations? Most likely they are just being expel from school when they make enough troubles.

When the young kids are being push aside, what resource could they rely on to learn to become a person that could contribute to the society? While some are lucky enough to find the right mentors, some will just forced into become the parasite of the society or even worse, a menace.

Another trend we are seeing is both parents are working and not have enough time to educate the children the right moral and attitude, to make it worse some parents aren’t a good role model themselves.

I am not blaming on all the parents, the Malaysia socio-economic situation nowadays force a lot of families to have both parents at work, and this ring another bell..

Crime prevention should start with an all-round plan, a larger scope that includes socio-enocomic, cultural and political development.

Our government have to keep a really low unemployment rate, and take serious caring with the issues.

(est) Imagine if 1% of the population is unemployed, that will make some 250,000 jobless Malaysians, and let’s say if 1% of them are desperate enough to commit crime to find a living, we would have around 2500 potential criminals, and that’s not a small figure.

Some overseas countries actually provide social aid to those unemployed, it does create some controversies because the financial aids are actually provided by tax payers, it should at least reduce a potion of desperate crime while create a better sense of security for the nation workforce.

Malaysia government will have to continuously coup with the drugs addicts problem. Although the illegal drugs problem are not constantly under national headlines in recent months, don’t get the misconception that things are improving. I doubt the illegal drugs usage in Malaysia are getting any better in recent years, and drugs addicts are constantly causing public safety concerns.

Religion should play a factor too, regardless of if it’s Islam or others, a religion generally teaches an individual to become a better personal from within, and to have the right value and morality.

While we are seeing our government focusing on worldwide issues and multi-billions projects, perhaps it’s time for them to spend more effort in building a healthy society. And lets not forget that everyone like you and me should contribute and play a part to build a nation that we want to have.
