From a concerned citizen of Malaysia

I remember watching a movie (which I can't seem to remember the title) but the main actor were Marc Anthony and Dakota Fanning. It is a story of a rich man which inherited his wealthiness from his wife's father who built their empire in Mexico's city. Of course, money laundering was involved and Marc Anthony had no choice but to give away his daughter to save his business. There's a lot of shooting involved. Biasalah cerita gangster-gangster mesti ada tembak-tembak.

At the end of the story, his daughter's bodyguard (who is also a very famous actor whom I have no idea his name is) was the one yang terkorban trying to save his daughter's life or something like that.

My point is, the movie has a lot of shooting scenes and I, at one point believe that it will never happen in the real world. How can a place allows gangsterism berleluasa di mana-mana.

As naive as I may sound, it actually happens here in Malaysia.

It's scary to know that one is no longer safe walking by her/his own on the street walaupun di waktu hari yang terang. It's no longer safe for me to have my morning jog without having the fear of someone actually following me. It's worst now that it's no longer safe for someone to stop at a traffic light without having the feeling of someone stopping next to his/her car with a gunshot.

Takut kan?

Takut sangat!

With the recent cases where numerous of people being shot while waiting in their car is scary. Tembakan jarak dekat pulak tu. Worst thing is, this kind of cases appear in the news almost everyday. Why such things can happen here in Malaysia?

We used to be a safe country. Of course, jenayah memanglah ada but not to the extent of tembak-menembak secara terang-terangan. Where are all our police officers? Aren't they doing their job? 

Isn't it worrying to know that your country is becoming just like what is shown in the movie. Gangsterism leads to gun-shooting. What happens to Malaysia?

I'm no longer feeling safe living in this country. How can they keep on saying that our country is still safe whereas the cases of people dying due to gun-shooting appears everyday. It's worrying, Masyaallah.

As a concerned citizen, I really hope that something will be done by the authority to make sure that cases like this will never happen again. It's scary and worrying. Amat membimbangkan.
