Computers could be given away to the poor


SITTING at my breakfast table yesterday morning, I was drawn to the front-page picture of computers in the process of being crushed under an excavator at the Alam Damai police station in Kuala Lumpur, “Squashed” (The Star, Sept 3).

The caption informed that Kuala Lumpur police chief Comm Datuk Seri Mazlan Lazim was the one handling the excavator and was in the process of destroying central processing units (CPU), keyboards and monitor screens that had been confiscated from illegal gambling joints.
