IT took a cabinet meeting to decide that Chinese New Year decorations at SM Pusat Bandar Puchong 1 can stay. That’s how high a trivial matter had to go, to set things right.
The aura of being confident in not investigating trivial matters is lacking. Hopefully, this case will spur the police to prioritise cases according to the seriousness of a matter at hand. This mode of subtle intimidation has become the modus operandi of our sociopolitical landscape now. The fact that the police take it upon themselves to react to all political sensitivities is now a weapon free for all to exploit.
Police have to prioritise cases using their discretion to classify reports that are frivolous, unclear ingredients of an offence, trivial matters, etc, as unworthy of further investigations. The police must exercise restraint and caution when calling up witnesses for statements wantonly. Apart from the immense inconvenience it causes to the man on the street, it also creates a stigma of suspicion. It can be traumatic for the public.
