Dear Editor,

I REFER to the article ‘Assault victim found dead on road’ yesterday.

I am appalled by the incident that occurred in Setapak Prima. It must have been a horrific sight to find a dead person in the middle of the road with stab wounds in his belly.

I never thought crimes of this nature could occur in Kuala Lumpur.

I believe that the person behind the murder wanted people to know that this man was killed intentionally. The criminal could be conveying a message to residents living in the area.

I hope that the community learns to co-operate with the police to curb crime and gangsterism.

The victim deserves closure and those who killed him should be brought to justice.

We must not let crime and gangsterism to take over in Malaysia.

If we allow this social ill to go on, our youths will eventually lose the ability to defend themselves.

Everyone should have the freedom to speak and do what they want, as long as it is done properly.

Once again, I urge the people to curb gangsterism before another death occurs.
