Gerakan head of central bureau on environment, safety and quality of life, Dr Cheah Soon Hai expresses his concern and dismay over the recent case involving an eight year old girl being raped at the washroom in the school compound during a wedding dinner. 

 

Dr Cheah said, the uncalled for incident has sent a very strong message that the security of our society is already at an alarming stage, even the school is no longer safe.  It would be naïve and idealistic to be hoping that the society could be any safer and secure, there is nothing much we can do but to further tighten security measures at every possible places to prevent such unwanted incidences from happening.

 

Dr Cheah Soon Hai who is also Kedah Derga State Assemblyman said, "Now that we all are fully aware of the level of security of our society, adults should never let their children to wander around alone.  Every girl should be accompanied by someone be her parents or friends when they wish to go to the washroom."

 

Dr Cheah hopes that the school management would increase the number of security guards in their schools and also to assign guards at various corners of the school compound especially nearby the toilet to ensure no strangers could enter the school compound easily without being noticed.  Safety issue should not be taken lightly as the uncalled for incident actually happened during an event participated by many, no one should take any chance when it comes to personal security because tragedy never sends warning before it happens.     

 
 

民政党呼吁校方加紧学校的保安措施

民政党环境、安全及生活素质局主任谢顺海医生针对一名8岁小女孩在参加婚宴的时候在学校的厕所内被强奸的事件大感愤怒与担忧.

 
 

谢顺海医生说，这件天地不容的事故向我们大家传达了一个非常强烈的讯息，那就是我们的社会治安已经非常糟糕，就连学校也已经不是一个安全的地方。很遗憾的是，期望社会治安可以好一些在如今看来已是个奢望，我们能够做的其实不多，唯有尽量在必要的地方加紧保安方面的措施，以避免任何类似不必要的事情一直在发生。

 

谢顺海医生也是吉打德卡区州议员。他说，"相信如今每个人都很清楚我们社会的治安水平是怎么一回事，长辈们不应该让孩子独自一个人四处走动。女童若需要上洗手间都应该有人陪伴，无论是家长或朋友都好，只要不是一个人单独行动。"

 

谢顺海医生希望校方可以增加学校的保安人员数量，以及安排数位保安人员在学校的各个角落巡逻，以防止陌生人可以在无人察觉的情况下轻易闯进校园内。人们不应该对人身安全这件事掉以轻心，因为那起强奸事件是发生在人多的场合附近，所以每个人都不应该有侥幸的心理，而是要时时提高警惕。
