*"NO HOLDS BARRED
Raja Petra Kamarudin
In the old days, if you failed your form three or LCE, you could become a police constable. A form five ‘dropout’ could become a trainee inspector and thereafter go on to become an inspector. Nowadays, the police are better educated than that. Many are university graduates and even have a law degree. But the policemen of the old days were respected, despite their lower education. Today, the police officers are despised, even how highly educated they may be. They no longer command the respect of the public.....What happened to change the public perception of the policeman? What transformed respect for the police officer into contempt? The long and the short of it is the public no longer trusts the police force...."*
That begets a question.
How much of trust do we have for our our own police force?
