MP SPEAKS The Malaysian police force has presented a sorry spectacle of itself recently, undermining its professional image as an independent, efficient and world-class police force, but what is worse, tarnishing the international image of Malaysia by trumpeting to the world as if Malaysia has become a 'basket case country' on the verge of political and economic collapse.

And the person who led the charge to undermine the professional image of the police and the international image of the country is none other than the country’s No 1 policeman, the inspector-general of police (IGP) Khalid Abu Bakar, who shocked the country and the world with the wild and reckless 'fairy tale' two weeks ago of a plot to 'topple the government' on New Year’s Eve.

Neither the IGP nor the police force have been able to produce any evidence of a 'topple government' plot on New Year’s Eve, as Khalid was only acting on a 'hunch' or brainwave (planted or inspired by Umno conspirators), and I cannot think of a more 'anti-national' act than this to end 2013.
