Abdul Karim dismayed at murder of British students

August 7, 2014

KUCHING: Law enforcement agencies must buck up especially when it comes to upholding security in the state.


Assistant Minister of Youth Development Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah made this reminder when commenting on the murder of two British medical students here early yesterday morning, which he described as unfortunate.

“I feel sad hearing of the murder of two young Caucasians at Jalan Abell this morning (yesterday) and wondered what was happening to our society now,” he said in a text message sent to The Borneo Post yesterday.

In view of this, he therefore urged the police not to rest on their laurels.

“Are our police and judiciary capable enough to address these problems or are they just being apathetic about what is happening? This latest incident brings shame to Sarawak and Malaysia.

“The law enforcement agencies must buck up. The society must cry out and show their concern and rid us of these despicable rascals who turn our street into their battlefield,” he stressed.

Abdul Karim also expressed distraught at the increasing number of murder cases here.

“We have heard of too many killings and fighting using weapons and it seems to be increasing and this latest case is just another one,” he said, noting that the two young Britons probably also wanted to enjoy their time in Sarawak while on student exchange here but their lives were cut short in a blink of an eye.

“Those involved, whoever they are, must not be allowed to roam in our city anymore,” he said, and urged that the cruel murderers be severely punished.
