IGP Musa Hassan must have grown immune to all criticisms and allegations hurled at the police force. It is sad that he had grown immune and impartial to these criticisms instead of doing his utmost best to change the negative public perception against his force.
Musa's silence and inaction can be perceived as arrogant and insensitive.
I have said before that the police should not allow themselves to be used as a political tool by the politicians. Unfortunately, in the case of Perak, they have acted in ways which will be hard to justify their independence.
Why form a barricade at the state secretariat building to deter the democratically elected MB and his excos from entering? The police should have acted only when directed by the court.
From the ban on political ceramah to the probe against Karpal Singh's intention to contest the decision of Perak Sultan to sack the MB, the police's action may be perceived negatively by the public.
As a custodian of public safety, I sympathize with our policemen. Many of them are dedicated and some had even sacrificed their own safety to combat crime. But the police must stay out of politics and act impartially.
It is a lose-lose situation if the public no longer trusted the police.

In a War, there are Military Polices. I suppose we are the 1st country to have Political Polices !
Hi everyone,
At around 3.00 pm today, a lot of security personel (police, etc) are conducting road blocks along Jalan Utama, Penang, and surrounding roads. FRU personnel and other policemen are lined-up in front of YB Karpal Singh's residence in Jalan Utama with dozens of media people positioning themselves opposite his gate.
Traffic jams in the whole area - I was caught in the traffic jam.
Looks like a thorough search is being conducted in KS's residence and possible he's being detained either under ISA or to be charged under certain laws (Sedition Act, etc).
'It is a lose-lose situation if the public no longer trusted the police.'
Did you say 'if'?
Just conduct a poll and you will know how many per cent of the population trust the police.
Just ask your friends and everyone will express their disgust when you talk about the police.
PDRM is UMNO's faithful hound dog with no integrity. It is there to prop up UMNO.
I think our police force are rubbish, more like gangster instead helping in making the society in order.
They are senseless, every day they are blocking the roads everyway in Poh even they realise the tarffic jammed. Do they really know how much energy and time has wasted for these unnecessary road block. They have no brain and the ass are really grow up onto their brainless heads.
Contrary to belief, IGP Musa Hassan don't have skin as thick as a badak.
Reason why there are double standards practiced for BN and another for opposition /NGO parties is that the Police and the BN gomen has a symbiotic relationship for the past few decades.
The Police Special Branch dept has all the evidence and proof of the wrongdoings of BN's dirty politicians(from big fish to ikan bilis).
Since the BN gomen balls is squeezed by the Police, BN let the Polis have a free hand to do what they want, like taking a cut from all the underworld activities from illegal gambling , prostitution and drug lords in return .
As an extra bonus, the Police throw in some incentive by carrying out the dirty work of the BN like harrasing and arresting innocent rakyat in peaceful vigils,preventing peaceful gatherings etc. instead of oing their real job of making the streets safe.
So do you think the Police give a damn as to what the rakyat think of them?
Frankly no way and it is unlikely I can trust them anymore and ever.
They are supposely on guard of Rakyat safety, but in return they protect the greed and ugly one.
In past two weeks since the Perak Crisis, they set up road blocks everyway they like without thinking is it necessary for such action. Traffic jam everyway, but this group of monkey just has no sense and stood still or chit chatting among themselves!
Please PDRM, your salaries are no paid UMNO but from us the taxpayers.
Our men in blue are biased. PR's leaders are treated like criminals or suspects while BN's are given escorts!
Maybe there are indeed 2 sets of laws in this country. One for the privileged, another 1 for the rest of us.
BTW, what image do they still have?
