I agree with this quote. Unless every individual is morally and spiritually mature, crime will continue to exist and wreak havoc.

Re: PSOJ gives ultimatum to politicians
The Prime Minister had this to say:
Quote:
|
Today must mark the end of the blame game. People may have different opinions about how we have come to this and how we can improve the effectiveness of our security forces and policing capabilities. However, there can be no disagreement that the level of brutality and savagery that we see in the murders that are committed is frightening.

Re: PSOJ gives ultimatum to politicians
It shouldn't have taken this protest for PJ to open his mouth!! The citizens have a duty, but they need a government and judicial system they can trust.....which I can never see happening or if it does, it will be many years from now.

Bwoy ms_ting, politicians' mouths have been opened long time. The value of the content which is emmitted from them is debateable. What's needed is more than talk, it's action, both on the part of the govt. and the citizens.
