Fu: Do Not Blame Police For Rise In Crime

KUANTAN, Jan 20 (Bernama) -- The police should not be blamed for the failure to solve several high-profile cases of late, and the rise in crime.
Rather, Internal Security Deputy Minister Datuk Fu Ah Kiow said, the police should be commended for their untiring efforts to set up special squads to solve certain cases.
"Last year, the police solved 45 to 50 percent of criminal cases, way past the 20 percent set by Interpol.
"This is something we can be proud of, as the police are always striving to do their best," he told reporters after presenting Chinese New Year goodies to 500 senior citizens here, Sunday.
Fu said the police had never closed investigation into any high-profile case, adding that to solve cases, they needed clues and public cooperation.
"Crime prevention must not be left solely to the police as everyone must chip in to help," he said.

tunku : my God, the interpol just set 20% for solving criminal cases.that means 80% cases with no action and the criminals are free to act again. the police should have expertise that can solve about 70% of the cases then we would be safe but then again you are right Mr Fu, don't blame the police ,blame us the public.we are the one who are always wrong.
