How long?

All it took was eggs and instant noodles.

The burnt remains of Nurul Nadirah, age 5, was found in a plantation somewhere in Johor. She was reported missing by her 25yr-old mother after she failed to return from a store on the ground floor of the adjacent block of flats, where she was sent (by her aforementioned mother) to buy eggs, and instant noodles.

It's astounding what people are capable of these days. And it's terrifying what you can no longer do in this day and age due to lack of security.

We very recently began complaining of income taxes as Malaysia began to weather one of the most inflated economies in SEA. Our tax money, the sum we so desperately wish we didn't have to pay, goes to fund our first line of defence when it comes to tackling crime: Polis DiRaja Malaysia.

Why can I not see my money at work?

The case of Nurin Jazlin Jazimin is still unsolved as yet, with her rapist-cum-killer still on the prowl. What have we done as a people, as a nation, to curb such heinous crimes from being committed?

TELL Magazine, then under the helm of editor Nuraina A. Samad and publisher Wahti Mahidin, released an issue detailing a proposed NURIN Alert; A sprint-warning system based upon the States' AMBER Alert. This proposal was dismissed by the Ministry for Women & Family Affairs. If implemented, the NURIN system would allow details of missing and abducted children to be spread nationwide within minutes of their disappearance. Such a system would, in theory, dramatically reduce the number of abductions, as well as halve the time required to alert the public and the media in such an event.

If the NURIN system had been implemented, I'm certain that it would have been much easier to track the movements of Nurul Nadirah's abductor, and primarily, her.

Post-Canny Ong, parking lots got brighter. How much longer before we see our streets get safer?
