I heard in the radio this morning that another form of crime has emerged. As a result of the fuel hike, the fuel thieves are born. Its already disturbing to find out over the years, how Malaysians and expats have been marred by various crimes and the numbers are quite alarming. Just see how many people that were death in the hands of snatch thieves, number of victims either injured or killed by robbers, number of public and private properties that fell into the hands of thieves, who make fortune from selling gas tanks, copper wires, stainless steels components, car batteries etc.
In this latest petty crime, stealing of fuel (petrol or diesel) from vehicles is a new addition to our crime list and currently on the rise. Its already a burden to increase budget on vehicle fuel but its going to be tragic if someone comes and cracks open the fuel cap, siphon out the fuel which you already paid with your hard earned money. Stolen fuel is one thing, but imagine the extra money that you need to fork out to repair the wounded parts of your cars at workshop. The damages vary from the simple fuel cap down to the severe replacement of fuel tank or pipes. That’s the range of budget the people need to spend. It really hurts, doesn’t it?
And our Police force seems to more interested to put high priorities on DSAI’s, Bala's and RPK’s political conspiracies. They shouldn’t neglect their actual roles to protect the safety of the citizens and their properties. Imagine how many crime cases left unsolved in their logbooks involving women, which are so alarming. Their role in “effective” roadblocks are causing so much abnormal and detrimental effect to the people. So less for the same effort to solve the link to the missing toddlers such as Sharlinie. Besides that, majority of snatched victims never got their cases solved and the same thieves are still free looking for other preys. So, are we going to read in newspapers about someone who died fighting a fuel thief? Sigh~.
