Attorney-general Should Focus On his work

Instead of chastising malaysiakini for its
april fool joke, the attorney-general should focus
more on his duties as an A.G.Sadly, in the last few
years, statistic will reveal that firearms cases have
reached an alarmingly high rate and this can be
attributed to the failure of the A.G to properly
address the problem.In the early 1970s when the
firearms act 1968 was tightened with the firearms
increased act 1971 , criminal elements was wary of
using firearms in the commission of their crimes
because the A.G then did not hesitate to use the
increased firearms act of 1971 which provided for a
mandatory death sentence for any one caught with a
firearms.
Lately , we see a surge in criminal elements using
firearms for robbery, murder and hire killings because
the A.G department have been charging criminals under
the old firearms act 1968 which only provide for 5 to
20 years imprisonment.Criminals have taken full
advantage of the A.G laxity and have gone in droves
across a neighbouring country to purchase easily
available firearms.
Apparently, the grape vine is that hire killers
are available at a price and this simply reflect their
confidence that should they be caught it will only be
a few years behind bars because the A.G will only
charge them under the 1968 firearms act.
