Yes... u put it nicely..."Police in the dock"
Can the COI be more vigilant and ask...why the rioters targeted Police vehicles only..??
Is it because there is bad blood.? These auxillary personnel and first responders...were they in the past being bullying and trampling over these migrants..??
I think it is the attitude problem that makes the Indian migrants boil..Just like the lady bus-time keeper who behave like she owns the bus and they are beholden to her.
I, personally have seen them hauling these foreigners and behave like they are some big shots and put up an air in executing their duties..
I am sure the grievances built over time and that Sunday bus accident was the trigger.
Have you taken the bus there at Hampshire Rd?? you do know what the situation is like on a Saturday night,eve of holidays & sunday night!. I have sat on the bus from the worker's dormitory to that place & back from that place to the dormitory during those times I have mentioned. You can't blame the bus attendant to behave that way...have you encounter drunken ah nehs...99% of them are after arriving at Tekka , going back to dormitory. The area is congested, messy & disorganized, there is no proper place to get up the buses & disembark...there are jaywalkers.... I tried the $2 bus ride back then, on a study trip, can't say what study was I conducting... so people who had been & know that area, will tell you, that it was a tinderbox in the making.
We are just concern with making money....they are trying to find a scapegoat to shift the blame on....& as usual deflecting the blame on them, being inept & inefficient...proficient, yes! we can not argue.
The COI is not throwing up a lot of answers....hint!...the Aux Police are Malaysian Indians...( why they target the police cars)!...& there are other minute issues...all you need was a "match" to light the tinder....that they do not want to expose.
