Really wonder what is happening in this country.

We have lawyers having a hard time scheduling criminal cases which probably resulting as much from a lack of lawyers (lack? really? or just lack of lawyers willing to take on criminal cases?) as from the amount of crimes being committed as seen here:
* Magistrate’s house broken into
* Cop found with throat slit
* Foreman accidentally shot by cop while catching thief
And as if it wasn't enough we have KL cabbies declare turf war

However, there is a counter-balance coming by the way of Policemen and their ‘best friends’ to patrol nine crime-prone areas.

25 men and 14 dogs for nine areas. May have made sense if each "area" is small enough (perhaps 6 streets or so?). But no, something the size of PJ is an "area". Here are the other 8 areas (districts) Dang Wangi, Brickfields, Sentul, Ampang, Subang Jaya, Cheras, Gombak and Kajang.

Amazing, isn't it? How someone somewhere think that 14 dogs and 25 men can reduce crime in these areas. I doubt if it could significantly reduce street crime if all 14 dogs and 25 men were focussed on 1 district.

According to wikipedia, PJ is roughly 97 square kilometres. If 2 dogs and 4 men are assigned to PJ, it will give each dog and 2 men an estimated 48 square kilometres or if in the form of a rectangle roughly 6km by 8km. For each dog to patrol.

And the TheStar expects this new addition to "add more bite to crime prevention in the Klang Valley". If it does add significant "bite", then we were probably way under in the first place. If we were not way under, then how can it add any significance?

I honestly doubt if a tiger can patrol and control crime in an area that size, and we expect a dog to do it.

I wonder.
