People are not afraid of the law.
We always see police reported the criminal with many previous offenses and sometimes even wanted by the police.

Why are they still on the streets after 1 or 2 or 3 crimes done previously?
Some with 7,8,9 or 10 crimes on their record.

It means the bad guys never give a damn shit about the law.
Because they can be out there again very soon, even when caught.

Over time they got more daring - to the extent of killing people.

But in Malaysia, criminals > good people.
We are even told, you cant kill a criminal even when they got your valuables or when they entering your property for crime.
