ABUSE

I noticed that lately the process of law have been wrongly used by certain individuals or parties to spite certain individuals or political parties and put them in bad light. This development is not very healthy as the Police and Courts will be over-loaded with trivial cases instead of focusing on hardcore criminal cases which affect the public interest.

Long gone were the days when the public would think twice before started to go to a police station to make a police report against somebody especially when the issues were trivial. Nowadays, some people are so free to go do a police report even the issues do not concern them. This is because there are some political benefits to be obtained by spicing up certain issues in the local newspapers. Lawsuits against defamation between individuals become everyday news.
While the public want to see justice be done by relevant authorities, it must not come through the abuse of the process and the country's image being tarnished. The public has more to lose as the tax payers money is unnecessarily spent to solve cases which only benefits a few selfish individuals.
