Inanam, a small town in Sabah is not spared from crime. The latest incident of bus hijacking is very serious and the incident happen at Inanam Bus Terminal which is a stone throw away from the Inanam Police Station.

Luckily, no hostages were taken for a ride. If not, the entire Polis DiRaja Malaysia would have red-face embarrassment. The latest incident should acts as a wake up call for those sleepy police stationed at Inanam Police Station. Sabah is well known for it's illegal immigrants. And illegal immigrants contribute to social problems and crimes especially if they are let loose on the street. If my friend read this post, he'll probably accused the Inanam Police Station as being manned by the illegals !

And get this, so far their is no updated news on whether the hijacked bus has been found or not. Talk about police efficiency.
