IT MUST ALWAYS BE QUALITY FIRST THEN QUANTITY UNFORTUNATELY IN THE ........

What does the Malaysian government do when the police force is found wanting in their performance? They will spend RM260 million within the next 4 months, buy 2,000 patrol cars and employ 3,000 new police constables. Simply put, it is all about the shortage of manpower.
The United Nation’s golden standard ratio for policeman to population is 1-500 and Malaysia has a ratio of 1-266, which is - one policeman to every 266 citizens. (Japan has a ratio of 1-563, New Zealand 1-416 and the US 1-434).
So with our better than the UN recommended ratio, why does the government continue to recruit more policemen into the already burgeoning force? This certainly does not reflect well on our police force discipline, professionalism and industriousness. Is the government insinuating that the police force is ineffectively and incompetently managed? If it is true, then heads should roll. Adding more and more manpower will not bring the crime rate down. Optimising efficiency will. It must always be quality first and then quantity, unfortunately in the UMNO run public sector it is often not always so.

RM260m Boost:
More cars, cops to keep criminals at bay

Over RM260 million will be spent in the next four months to ensure police presence in crime-prone areas nationwide.
The money will be used to buy 2,000 patrol cars and to train 3,000 new police constables. The policemen will come as a "package" with the cars by early next year. Source
