Malaysian Police

My car was stolen 2 years ago and when making police report the remark I received was, "Oh, dah lama tak ada kes macam ni di SS 18" (it has been quite some time since we last received report on such case). I don't think anything was done to recover the car until a few months after. The detective who handled my case then produced a report saying that the case was closed, for the insurance company to follow-up on the reimbursement.

Recently, the Selangor Police Chief's car was stolen. All efforts were made to recover the car only to find the car left by the roadside with a note saying "Sorry PDRM, silap sapu".

I wonder if the car was not left by the roadside, would the police be able to find it?

On another note, the recent case of a teenage boy who took his sister's car for a joyride and was shot by the police after being chased was quite disturbing.

This story was related to my soon-to-be-13 year old son. I asked him what are the lessons learned from this. His reply:
1. Playing pranks can get you killed.
2. Some policemen are incompetent.

I can't help but wonder, if a 13-year old has such negative impression of the Malaysian police force, what does the future hold for their generation?
