Woman voices safety concern over drunks
A woman has voiced concern over a group of young men who are often seen drunk at the Cathay bus stop in Kota Kinabalu, especially from 6pm onwards. Minah, who always waits for a bus at the area, told Public Hotline that the presence of these people there makes her worried about her safety. Besides, they would sometimes act in a disorderly manner and scold passers-by without any reason, she claimed, adding that she would sometimes notice vomits at the area in the morning. Minah said she suspects one of them was behind in an incident in which her friend was hugged by someone from behind while waiting for a bus there. She said she fears that if the authorities do not take any action, these people may commit crime there one day. She said the presence of drunks who have in a disorderly manner would give tourists a bad impression of Sabah. “I hope the authorities will look into the matter even though it is a small problem.” Meanwhile, Kota Kinabalu Police Station spokesman, when contacted by Public Hotline said they will look into the matter soon. He thanked the complainant for providing them with information, saying that information on any criminal or unhealthy activities will be helpful to the police, who can then monitor the situation. He also invited the public to join Rakan Cop so that they can report such activities directly to the police with ease.
