I REFER
to the article by Chan Kheng Hoe (Freespace, July 21) who had aptly and in a subtle way described the state of the mentality of our police force in arresting Anwar Ibrahim. It’s how you interpret his story. I look at it as subtle criticism of the police force.

I liked it most when he spoke of the fear of US marines coming in to rescue Anwar. The deployment of 1,600 police personnel to stop one man going to Parliament to listen to a vote of no-confidence against the prime minister showed the state of fear which the police and government are in. Police priority is to fight Anwar rather than crimes like robberies, rapes and snatch thefts!

May I propose to Chan that he next give us his out-of-the box view on the brutal murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu.
