Mr IGP this is your job …not jaga jalan untuk Umno.
When we all forget our core business to line our pockets and secure out seats, this is what happens. The rakyat suffer. Hope you can sleep well after innocent lives like this are lost.

Amazing what people kill for nowadays.
Three people died for a laptop. If he took a Dell, he may just have committed suicide later on.
