Its tough, says Zahid Posted: 31 Aug 2013 11:51 PM PDT Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is seen as 'the right man for the right job' in enhancing KDN's image, enforcing the police, cleaning up the country from gangsterism and triads, guns and drugs and ensuring no diplomatic scabs in the war against four million illegal immigrants in the country. How he and his team weigh the issues and formulate the right approach in dealing with all these, is not for the rakyat to know but they must from now learn how to appreciate KDN's determination, and giving full support to such efforts. In an interview with The Star, Zahid expressed his concern over many things, including major crimes and how rakyat should trust the agencies under KDN. Excerpts, on revealing the secret societies recently: We have set up an elite force consisting of two special squads to face any retaliation but I don't feel it will come to that. At the same time, squad Charlie will be tackling serious crime cases while squad Delta will deal with drugs. Fighting crime is the responsibility of all. I have been getting support even from the Opposition when I went down to Johor recently. Two assemblymen, one from PKR and the other from DAP, said: "Whatever you are doing now, we support you as we are colour blind." In a recent forum, we had NGOs supporting our efforts to increase security and safety. I also plan to meet with all chief editors and crime reporters to brief them. It doesn't matter if we don't get praises, but just appreciate our efforts. We don't want sympathy, just understanding. On the repeal of Emergency Ordinance: The EO is now history. Let's move forward. There are two existing laws – Crime Prevention Act 1959 and Dangerous Drugs (Special Preventive Measures) Act 1985. If need be, we will table amendments or improvements to the Acts during the next parliament session. A panel of four ministers, Datuk Paul Low, Nancy Shukry, Datuk Idris Jala and I, will be heading a forum to discuss preventive laws. On how to tackle street crime: Three steps. First, installing more CCTVs – and I will be asking the Finance Ministry to approve the purchase of high definition CCTVs. The police are also working closely with the Armed Forces to patrol hot spots. This started even when I was Defence Minister. We have also set up the crime prevention department to create greater public awareness and will work closely with NGOS and boost volunteerism. The RakanCop and Skuad Muda KDN will be re-launched, the number of auxiliary police will be increased and there are plans to get more schools to have police cadets as part of co-curricular activities, with the hope that they will want to take up the profession later.
