Give chocs to cops, urges Siti Kasim

PETALING JAYA: The police force are rarely shown any appreciation, and lawyer Siti Kasim wants to put that right by giving them chocolates in conjunction with the fasting month of Ramadhan.

And she is calling all Malaysians to do the same this Saturday (May 26) from 4-5pm.

The “Jom Bagi Coklat Kat Abang & Akak Polis” event with the #chocs4cops tagline is trending on Facebook, with many giving their support to this event.

“I think it’s about time something is done. It’s just a gesture. We just want to show our appreciation for the work they have done. They have never been shown appreciation,” Siti told the Star Online.

Siti herself will give the chocolates to the Sentul police station in Kuala Lumpur as she stays there. She urges other Malaysians to give chocolates to the closest stations located to them and to post the pictures and videos on social media.

“I think that they are sometimes treated unfairly because of some bad apples but the majority of them are very nice people. I am kind of surprised that there is so much traction. I think a lot of people feel the same about how they are treated,” said Siti.

The idea of this event came from a complaint recently made against the police for eating in some fridge “somewhere”, she added.

This was in reference to the complaint made by ex Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak who alleged that some police personnel raided the fridge of his residence and ate chocolates while conducting raids in relation to the 1MDB case.
