Zahran Hashim, the mastermind of the suicide bombings that killed more than 250 people in Sri Lanka, is on record as saying things that should be familiar to Malaysians.

Sometimes, I admit, we fail to appreciate the good work done by the police. Certainly there are corrupt policemen, and officers who abuse their powers; certainly there are officers who are unprofessional and politicised. And certainly the police force can do much more to curb crime.

Early this month, Bukit Aman Special Branch Counter Terrorism Division principal assistant director Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay told Bernama that police had thwarted 24 attempts by terrorists since 2013. That deserves praise. I cannot imagine the hours spent and effort put into this; obviously some of them are awake when we are enjoying a good sleep.

Most people argue that socio-economic reasons, and often political repression, lead to people becoming terrorists. Today, that is not the main reason anymore. So, the authorities have to ask why rich kids with so much to enjoy, and educated people with so much to contribute to the well-being of their community and nation take to terrorism.

Its Minister of Public Enterprises Lakshman Kiriella was quoted by Reuters as saying senior officials had withheld intelligence about possible attacks and that, “the top brass security officials did not take appropriate actions”. This is an important lesson for our police and military intelligence: nip the problem in the bud. People holding radical beliefs – especially about religion – can do horrible damage to the nation.

Lessons? To be learnt? In Msia? Nope. We have not learned anything frm NZ or Sri Lanka. There are many who are deaf, blind and heartless. Some cannot co-exist with others who are different frm them. Humanity failed.

Jangan ambil ringan perkara ini. Kumpulan radikal in Msia ini wujud. Kita jgn leka & menafikan nya. Kumpulan pengganas SLanka mungkin peminat2 Zakir Naik dgn ditemui bebrapa CD dr pelarian India itu. KRajaan perlu buat sesuatu dgn kadar segera.
