The issue that we are addressing is police corruption, which is quite a challenging subject to study because everything is kept so secretive. Police Corruption is a major issue in Malaysia because it happens so often, and there are very few police that we can actually trust. This issue is very important because the police are supposed to be someone that we turn to when we are having any trouble or anything bad or threatening happens to us. We need someone to help us, and not someone who is just going to make it worse. Some surprises that I have encountered in my research is what the police actually do and what actually makes the police corrupt. Policemen have been doing things like extortion, cheating, drug offence, and rape. This is just so shocking because if I didn't know anything and I heard someone was doing that, then I would expect them to be a criminal and the police should help, not for them to actually be police themselves!
Learning about this issue makes me feel many emotions actually, shocked, scared, angry, I don't really know how to feel. I'm scared because police are meant to be people that you turn to when you are in trouble, and people that you can fully trust to keep you safe. Who are you then supposed to go if the police are committing crimes? That's what really confuses me. I just get really angry because working for the police force is such and honorable job, you are protecting your country and the people. That is your job. Also how they call themselves 'police' and that they work for the 'police force' really annoys me because I personally don't feel they should have the right to call themselves something that has a job to protect people from crime when you are actually committing crime yourself.
