Hisham's League of Ordinary People against Crime

I've got utterly a few mails as well as smses angry about Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein's intent upon roping in expat Shamelin, a father of kidnapped Dutch boy Nayati, to help KDN to quarrel crime. you don't think a city slicker can do most but, hey, each help counts. If he's volunteering his service, who have been you to question him or Hisham's good intent? The Minsiter has made it clear [read here] which it's not an disdainful call in to Shamelin.Anyone who feels they can minister is welcomed.


So what have been you waiting for, an call in card?

AMBER Alert in progressDeja Vu. In 2007, multiform typical people got together to set up Citizens forNurin Alert [Nurin stands for Nationwide Urgent Response Information Network) after a kidnapping of Nurin Jazlin from nearby her home in 2007. One of them was Nurin's uncle. The uncle was not an expert in crime (he worked in a bank) though his insights were damn useful. Weroped in alternative bloggers, parents, NGOs as well as a proposal was finally adopted by a Government in 2009 as Nur (Nationwide Urgent Response) Alert. None of a typical people who worked upon a Nurin Alert was ever invited to sit upon Nur Alert or work with a authorities concerned. But that's okay. What's not fine is this: Nur Alert isn't operative as well as it should.

Two or three weeks ago, you was told by a journalist which multiform NGOs were reviewing a Nur Alert. One of their sugge! stions w as to place a kid kidnapping alert system under a Home Ministry. As fate would have it, you bumped in to a single of a NGO reps [who wishes not to be identified] during Bangsar Shopping Centre as well as she told me about a idea. Then last week, Jalan Sudin as well as you (we were both upon a Nurin Alert effort) were invited to meet up with reps from these NGOs, along with multiform people who have proposed Facebook campaigns to quarrel crime, to speak about what you could do to help.

Deja vu. But behind afterwards you were upon a own. This time around, there's a Minister who's peaceful to take a initiative to get a endangered typical people as well as quarrel this together. That's hope ...
