Good idea! Mmore pressure from the mass media should help..
Folks, while I fully agree with the sentiments, may I advise
sensitivity in this vitally important matter?
This is not our country, we are guests. True we are heavily invested financially and our
lives and assets are at stake - but we came into this with eyes wide open.
It is not that citizens and many people in officialdom are not aware and disgusted - I have spoken to many up and down the peninsular. And every time the matter of Singaporeans' and foreigners' lack of interest because of security is brought up, I have seen the frustration and apology from many Malaysians.
Nonetheless, caution in criticism and finger-pointing is advisable.
You may know, of course, that many of the criminals are Singaporean? And that we have plenty of unreported crime at home? With a single theft over here blown up in the Spore media?
Certainly a steady barrage of factual objections to the situation should have some effect. And it has improved somewhat, so I am told by Johorians.
Can we consider this soberly and act in a polite, determined way that helps rather than creates antagonism? It is the criminals that are to be targeted, and it is more helpful to make it clear that that is the aim, not present a superior and irritating Singaporean front.
Note that there is said to be 2 million illegal Indonesians [one in Johor state alone], who pass in and out of the country at will - the problem is huge and the last time Malaysia did something about it there was an unreasonable reaction from Indonesia ... it is complicated.
