Veteran opposition parliamentarian Lim Kit Siang today asked all Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat MPs to come together to reject Inspector General of Police Musa Hassan's explanation that the crime situation in the country was not as bad as people perceived it to be.

"Malaysians are shocked that the IGP is deadly serious with his ridiculous ploy to explain away the worsening crime index with a statistical sleight-of-hand by claiming that it is purely a problem of misperception by Malaysians, tourists and investors," said Lim in the Parliament lobby.
