Under Intense Pressure at the Age of 14 going on 15

Under Intense Pressure at the Age of 14 going on 15

Instead of being in a cyber café, or riding your mountain bike or BMX in the neighborhood, or maybe playing football in the field, you have to be called for a press conference, going to police station so that your statement could be taken, and on top of that your good friend just died on your lap. It not only makes your miserable, he pressure makes you recall back right to the very night you decide to take a ride in your friends car.

Although many are focus on the deceased, the cause of the death, the circumstances the family members have to go through, I see afar that. There are many things that’s not only annoyed me, but I am at the stage where disgusted is not anymore the word I can use. Hopefully in words it will be self explainable.

Immediately after the shootout happen. IGP says “If that is what you want, I can remove cops out from the streets” Hissamudin says “ Why if a boy get shot, you blame the police, but if the Police get shot, nobody blames the criminal” These are mature man and great leaders of the country speaking. How can you release such statement? If I as an adult can feel that the IGP is trying to protect the police from a mistake already happen, how are we going to respect the police force, and to make things even worst, how are we to teach our children to respect them. That is just being hypocritical.

I can agree with not politicizing the issue, but if Lim Kit Siang and others do not questioned the IGP to and force him to retire early, who the fucking hell is going to take the matter seriously. Waiting for an MIC to stand up and its already hopeless, you think a Chinese man will stand up for young Malay that has died in a police chase. These Chinese men will be sitting back and say, let the Malay leaders help, since is their own people. And you idiots out there can call DAP a racist party. At least he is trying to help instead of being a coward and sit back and be afraid to voice out.

I still stress this point very strongly. The boy is only 14 years old. Put yourself at the age of 14. Even if you are caught stealing from your neighbors mango tree by your parents, you shit bricks in your pants. You panicked and get frighten. This boy not only got caught by parents, but got caught by Police, with his friend dead on his lap, and he is being put through media, lawyers, and police. That is hell more lot pressure compared to stealing mangoes. If some of you still say he is lying, the man on the wheel chair who is one of the country renowned lawyers must have trained him very well to handle press conferences.

On top of that, now the police say his first statement and recent statement are not 100% accurate. This is based on the question of “when was the last bullet fired after the car crash or before the car crash?” This doesn’t make sense at all, do you think you would recalled, when you are trying to run away, your friend died while driving, and crash into a tree and he was lying on lap. What fascinate me more is, how in heavens name did a small boy manage to escapade more than four policemen, after he was kicked on the head while trying to escape from the back window???

I still remember watching Lethal Weapon where Mel Gibson was staring together with Danny Glover. There was this one scene Danny got into a shootout with thugs and what not and shot one of his son's best friends. Even though he was upholding the law, he felt so sorry and apologize to the parents, and even attended the funeral. I guess most of this scene only happens in the movies.
