Police

 How should we regard whats crucial in enforcing law and order in a society.in certain nations we get story of police brutality that discriminates against certain ethnic groups.

Or is the police force used to carry out the political agendas of politicians as seen in the abuse of our PM when he was imprisoned for trumped up charges.

Or is it religious and moral policing to check on courting couples, or those fashion policing of length of skirts and so on.

Its time our Law minister work to abolish unjust laws that criminalises attempted suicide.suicidal victims suffer from mental illness and should get medical treatment and not thrown into jail.some grow up in violently abusive homes,have addiction problems and poor living conditions.they need psychological services and social welfare to assist,not punishment by being jailed or fined.

I read how a police officer in China went beyond her duty to counsel a suicidal jobless man to live instead of ending his life and even offered food and help to send him to a friends house.the man later found a factory job and tried to locate the kind saviour who spent time encouraging  him.so suicide should be decriminalise to remove the social stigma that may cause them to be ocstracised by society.

The story of a desperate Chinese man close to ending it all saved by a caring police officer who talked him into believing life was worth it has warmed millions of hearts in China.

On January 18, four days before the Lunar New Year, police in eastern China’s Zhejiang province received a phone call from a young man who said he needed to talk to someone and had called 110 because his phone had run out of credit.

After falling out with his family, the man said he had spent several days looking – unsuccessfully – for a part-time restaurant job and with nowhere to stay, he said: “I feel my life is over”.
