In the past week, there have been a number of shootings almost every other day in Malaysia, which the authorities attribute to lax laws and a shorthanded police force. At the same time, the authorities have gone after Shia followers, a Muslim dog trainer for uploading a video clip of her washing dogs to the sound of prayers, and today, asking the mother of sex blogger Alvin Tan to come in for questioning. Is this a case of misplaced priorities? People want to feel safe on the streets. Not shot down at random or by hired killers when the authorities decide it is better to save souls than lives. We need a government focused on today and tomorrow, not the hereafter.
