Help to police own malls, Soi Lek tells operators

By Lisa J. Ariffin

KUALA LUMPUR, August 16 — Datuk Seri Chua Soi Lek today said it was unfair to rely solely on the police to curb rising crime in shopping complexes.

The MCA president said today the operators of shopping malls were also responsible for helping to deter crime on their premises by providing adequate and efficient security measures.

“The (mall) management have a duty to strengthen security features. To be fair, we cannot depend solely on police,” Chua told reporters today after MCA’s central committee meeting here.

“The police cannot be everywhere; there is just no way,” he added.
