While people were busy celebrating Eid, being with families and eating awesome Eid dishes, some people were mourning over the lost of a cosmetic millionaire who was brutally torchered, stabbed, minced and burned and ashes were scattered in a river. Her story became a high profile case with all the Policemen in the country racing against time to solve the murder and putting aside their Eid vacation. Congratulations to the efficiency (or luck) of the investigators, her case was solved in 2 weeks after her disappearance and some lawyer dude (also a rich ass) was caught having not only to lead the murder, but has been on a killing spree which were unresolved some years ago. As an old Malay proverb says, "Smart maybe the squirrel in its leaps, but in the end it just falls hard to the ground..."
My deepest condolence go the late Dato Sosilawati's family for having to endure such big loss and heartbreaking tragedy during Aidilfitri.
But doesn't that make us wonder why, with all the super technology and smart braincells and efficiency, there are still simpler cases unresolved? For example the murder of Nurin Jazlin, (8 years old, 2009, raped, molested, sodomized, murdered and folded into a suitcase) , the disappearence of Sharlene, and even a few more hundred disappearance/murder cases involving middle-class Malaysians. Is it because the families of these people can't afford a news conference? Is it because these families can't promise the investigators bags of rewards? Or is it because these families are not famous and high profile enough to motivate the CSIs to help them get some justice.
Having solved the case of the cosmetic millionaire, it shows that our policemen are not dumb and have the potential to become super-detectives. With some motivation and technology, they have the ability to crack a case and put the person responsible for it in hand-cuffs. So I don't see why they still haven't solved the other murder cases where the body found was more intact than ashes scattered in a river. And why these cases, unsolved, are forgotten like movies that hit box office in the cinema, enjoyed it's moment, and faded away in time... forgotten, until television decides to put them on.
I'm not here to ask for an explanation on WHY or HOW the forensics or CSI (whatever u call it) choose which cases are priority. I just hope for them to make a move and help not only the rich, but every single people in this country to seek justice so we can live in a country that's fair without discrimination. I'm sure the pain of losing a family member is equally tragic for everyone no matter how much money you have in the bank.
