| Summary: | WHEN constable Mahadir Tawile, 24, was shot dead on Sept 18 as a result of a "friendly fire" during a police
operation against a notorious robbery gang in Mentakab, Pahang, it did not hit the front pages of most
newspapers.
Yet, it is very fresh in one’s mind how just about any story about police is front page news not only by most
newspapers but also hogs the headlines for weeks on end.
Recall the classical nudesquat
or the bald heads controversies. How about some alleged brutality, corruption,
or that petty crimes are on the rise. |
