Deputy IGP: Discard 'I Don't Know' Attitude
Discard the “saya tak tau” (I don’t know) attitude and you will get safer streets. Deputy Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Najib Abd Aziz said the men in blue should not be solely blamed for the high crime rate in some areas, particularly in Johor.
“We have cases where people had actually witnessed a crime right before their eyes but simply refuse to assist in police investigations ... they just "saya tak tau," he said. He added under such circumstances, the police often took longer time to solve cases.
He was responding to a statement by Parliamentary Caucus on HumanRights and Good Governance chairman Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz on Sunday that police should accept criticism levelled against the force by the public.
Mohd Najib said the fact that the police could solve 40 per cent of all reported cases goes to show that it was doing a good job. “By Interpol’s standards, it was already considered good if a police force could solve 25 per cent of all cases. We are close to doubling that,” he said.
He said if the people were prepared to assist the police, nine out of 10 reported cases could be easily resolved. The people, he said, had no reason to fear assisting the police as their identities were always kept confidential. “The public also expects us to solve cases immediately as they see it on television. It is impossible because criminals have become more advanced these days,” he said.
Mohd Najib said in the west and developed countries, people would voluntarily come forward to help the police.
Asked why simple procedures such as chemistry and post mortem reports could take months to be prepared (and are) delayed, Mohd Najib said this was not necessarily true. “There may be isolated cases. Every department has their own set of procedures and Client’s Charter to adhere to and I don’t think that is a widespread problem,” he said. Sometimes, the delays were caused due to the complexity of a case. (TheStar)

Will the deputy IGP say "saya tak tau" if being told that his man-in-blue discouraged the public from making criminal reports? Refer to today's STAR, in JB some snatch thief victims were aadvised to withdraw their report.
Stop blaming the public!!!!!!!
The public are the victims, you are being paid to do your job. If you cann't do it, please resign & let more capable men to take over.
Another perceived discriminative case against the police by the public. When a Tun, Tan Sri or Datuk Seri having being robbed or house burglarized always given top priority by the police compared to the average "nobody" ordinary Malaysian. Inevitably there are dozens of examples that their cases are speedily solved, the most recent a chairman of the crime foundation. My house has been burgalarized 3 times and I could not recover a single TV (out of 3 stolen). To this day, already 6 years, the case remained unresolved. But when you are a Tan Sri etc, you bet the IO will call him personally to brief him or her on the investigation developments. Such discrimination is so obvious, so why blame the public for having no confidence in the police.
