Why use handcuffs

Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin himself admitted that the Sabah by-election caused the third wave. Are the cops going to haul all of them in with handcuffs?

Why is there one rule for the privileged and one rule for the common man? Honestly, this overzealousness by authorities is getting to the point of harassment. Why is it one cannot question a police officer if you are subjected to an alleged crime? Or in this case about a mask. Why the sudden vigilance over people wearing masks? Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Ever since the movement control order came into place, it would seem that "controlling" people have been taken to another level. On this note, I call upon the Home Ministry to check on this overzealousness by police officers because it is bordering on harassment.

The conduct of police during this pandemic and the number of compounds issued should also be looked into as such excessive force is unnecessary.

I would also call upon Senior Minister Security Cluster Ismail Sabri Yaakob to come up with decisive standard operating procedures surrounding the wearing of face masks. I mean as long as a person is wearing a mask, they should be let off with a warning if found to be worn improperly.

People are already having a hard time, and it would be in the best interest of the government to appease to the public instead of making life difficult. Remember the George Floyd movement impacted the US election with a surge of anti-police sentiment.
