My condolences to the family of Corporal Raja Aizam Raja Mohd

The thin blue line of the Polis Di Raja Malaysia just got thinner with the tragic incident in Taman Sentosa, Klang. Corporal Raja Aizam and Corporal Mohd Aidil Mustafa are part of the thin blue line that protects the Malaysian community from descending into crime and disorder.

PDRM has been receiving very vocal brickbats from many quarters for various reasons.

I, for one, will be the last Malaysian to throw any adverse statements on PDRM. In my lifetime, so far, as a taxpaying Malaysian citizen, I have had no real cause to have any negative views of the men in blue. 

Theirs is a tough and risky job. I am proud to count several police officers as friends. They have a good sense of humour when they are with friends. They can be brutal when carrying out their duties. This is the nature of their work.

As with all Malaysians, I am concerned about crime. Let us not forget that PDRM members themselves are concerned about crime.

We need to rally behind the PDRM to strengthen the thin blue line in 2 ways-

1. Tell anyone and everyone in power, every chance you get, in any way possible, through any media, that they need to devote more resources to PDRM and other law enforcement agencies. This will enable PDRM to step up the police work.

2. Be nice, courteous and give some words of encouragement to our men in blue every chance you get. They are human too. And, they are risking their lives to ensure that we can feel safe. They are not perfect. So, give them your support and cooperation.

I offer my sincere condolences to the family of Corporal Raja Aizam Raja Mohd, particularly his grieving widow, Lance Corporal Nor Hazwani Harun.

Al-Fathihah to Allahyarham Cpl. Raja aizam, pray that his family will bear the test of his job on their future survival.
Sentosa has always been one of the highest crime rates area - luckily the pistol the criminals seize did not go off or his partner would not be able to bring the other two down.
MORAL OF THE WHOLE TRAGEDY: Sack Zahid Hamidi because he is more useless than the previous Homey.
The 6P extradition of PATIs too have taken too long and many are `criminals'.
Now he's costing the Government LOSS in Revenue, big time, for his actions and rabid comments on Shias's. NOT only Iran has cut down imports of Malaysian Oil Palm BUT Petronas and other O&G Industry players have lost their businesses with the Iranian partners and Government..
Clever lah - Minister with Foot-in-Mouth disease.

Thank you very much. He was my uncle. My daughter played the piano with him last month. That was the last.
