cctvs for the country

CCTVs for the whole countryCCTVs for the whole country

The hidden “eyes” that watch over the city’s traffic and help the police to nab criminals will be a full-fledged crime monitoring system nationwide if the approach proves effective. The Prime Minister said electronic gadgets were crucial for the people particularly in the current multimedia era. (courtesy The Star)

It will be a good move though I expect the government to study indept before installing CCTVs throughout the country. As far as I know our vandalism will come out to crack havoc on the CCTVs. Just look at our parking meters. The town councils spent millions on it then it becomes an eyesore parading on the streets. The people get angry and vented their frustrations on the parking meters. In this context I feel the CCTVs will collect the same faith as the parking meters. I have heard the police short of manpower to police the streets. So the culprits will make one eye jack on these CCTVs. In the end the tax payers' money go to waste which can be used to help the poor in our backyards. The government should think deeply on the subject and makes it transparent in its dealings all the times.

Malaysia is watching you.......
