“You have to quit confusing a madness with a mission.”

- Flannery O'Connor

Deputy inspector-general of police Noor Rashid Ibrahim confirmed the possibility of an Islamic State (IS) attack on Malaysian soil on Malaysia Day. While he has also assured Malaysians that we should “have confidence in the police in their capability of handling and monitoring the activities of such groups,” I have no idea how right-thinking Malaysians could have any confidence in our security apparatus.

Even the top cop of the country spends more time on Twitter harassing those who mock Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, who has been confirmed by his own official as the Malaysian Official 1 - the man at the centre of one of the biggest corruption scandals the world has witnessed.
