Night patrols team against crime 对抗罪案的夜间守夜队

I visited my primary school teacher tonight. She told me that break-ins happened few weeks ago in her neighbour house. Since that night, all the residents around could not sleep tight. A night patrols team had form during a residents meeting after the case. All the guys in that residents area have to take part in the team in a shift manner.

Certainly, the team might have some effect toward reducing the opportunity for a crime happen, however, this is not a long-term solution. For the past few year, Malaysia had face the increasing number of crimes related to robbery and break-in nationwide. Even the police force had trying their best by building up more police stations, this situation seem do not have any changes but getting worst.

Apart from talking about the effectiveness of the police force in the past, in my opinion, the unclear standard of rules are also the factors for the increasing number of crime. Punistment toward criminal is not able to create fear among them. I hope that a more stringent punishment can be adminster toward the criminals, for example, cane or death penalty. Implementing a death penalty is not a fulsome punishment as their action had endanger public life and safe.

Nevertheless, co-operation among the residents is another important elements to solve this problem. I had joined the night patrols team which form by my area neighborly society. I took part in few operations during night. This is a responsible for a good citizen in this crisis. But, i found that, not everyone have the same view as me, especially the young generation. They think that all these are the police responsible as they are taxpayer who afford for the police salary, and taking a rest and save up energy for making money will be more important. Everyone have their own view, we can't force them to have the same view as you. But my advise is, taxpayer do not mean you are powerful to control over others. RESPECT!!!

今晚我拜访我一个小学老师。从她的口中得知，她的邻居家日前遭人破门行窃。从那个晚上开始，附近的居民都不得安眠。在成立了一个居民委员会后，他们决定要执行夜间巡逻。每一户家庭的男丁都必须轮流执行守夜工作。

夜间巡逻队的成立确实能够有效减低罪案的发生，但是，这个显然不是一个长久之计。过去几年来，马来西亚面对空前严重的全国性抢劫、攫夺及破门行窃案。虽然警方在此趋势下设立了很多的新警局，然而这个问题却没有见到改善，反之每况愈下。

除了警察效率之外，我个人认为，没有清楚的法律条文来对付罪案是导致情况日趋严重的因素之一。现有的刑法对一名罪犯来说更本起不了阻吓作用。我相信，执行较严厉的刑法，例如鞭邢或者是死刑，并不会是个过分的举动，因为他们的这些行为已经威胁到了公众的生命与安全。

不过，警民合作还是一个扑灭罪案的因素。我加入了社区睦邻计划守夜队，也参与了他们很多次的夜间巡逻行动。在这个艰难的时期，我想这是一个好公民的责任。但是我发觉，现代人很少有和我在这个观点上起共鸣，尤其是年轻一代。他们认为他们纳税来支付警察的薪金，这就是警察的工作。他们宁可花多点时间养精蓄锐来工作赚钱。每个人有自己的一套想法，我们不能强迫人家苟同我们的看法。但是，我的劝告是不要认为纳税就代表了一切。请尊重！
