This is so stupid,I just have to put it up.
The assemblyman involved is the same guy that always lends his support to mudball throwing events in Gurney Drive.
Well what can one say except this...out of of all the places he could have picked to misplace his Ipad,he had to pick a police station.
My guess is... no civilian would want to swipe even a pen off a police counter.So that leaves us with....
Anyway,I do suppose a Police HQ would have cctvs installed,right?Right? So,its pretty simple and straightforward unless...
like if it were in the case of the policemen that were called to investigate a stolen good trader at Lorong Kulit who turned out to be one of the men in blue themselves(see accompanying article dated 21st august below),instead of wasting a minute more, Koay should have flung himself like head first straight into Lorong Kulit instead.
Then his chances of getting it back,would have been definitely much higher.

Please Return My Ipad,Pleads Pulau Tikus Rep
GEORGE TOWN: An assemblyman is keeping his fingers crossed that his iPad will be returned to him.
Pulau Tikus assemblyman Koay Teng Hai said there were important documents and information about his constituency stored in the tablet computer, which he left on the traffic counter of the George Town district police headquarters in Patani Road at about 3.55pm on Friday.
He lodged a police report the same day.
“I hope the tablet will be returned to me as it contains important documents related to my constituents,” he said here yesterday.
Koay said he had placed the iPad on the traffic counter while making enquiries about his traffic summonses.
He said he left the station immediately after settling his traffic summonses at the next counter.
“I only realised some eight minutes later that I had left my iPad at the counter.
“I then contacted one of my friends in the police but was told that the tablet was no longer there,” he said, adding that he could be contacted at 012-4279564.
George Town OCPD Asst Comm Gan Kong Meng said an investigation would be carried out, adding that police would probe the case under Section 379 of the Penal Code for theft.
“We are also going through the names of those who have paid their summonses at the same time as Koay.
“Hopefully, that will give us some leads,” he said.
He also urged the public to be more mindful of their valuables and belongings.
Four Cops To Face Action Over Watch Theft
The Star 21st august
A 44-year-old lance corporal has been suspended with immediate effect pending investigation over his alleged involvement in selling some of the watches at a makeshift stall in Lorong Kulit here, said George Town OCPD Asst Comm Gan Kong Meng.
Three other policemen, aged between 24 and 31, tasked to investigate the matter would also face disciplinary action.
ACP Gan said the three from the Datuk Keramat police station had allegedly tried to drag their feet in their investigations into the theft upon learning that the suspect was their colleague.
Police seized 42 stolen watches worth RM15,000 from the lance corporal in the 9.30am incident yesterday.
The suspect, who was off duty then, is attached to the Sungai Nibong police beat base.
ACP Gan said the case was being investigated under Section 457 of the Penal Code for burglary.
“We will investigate whether he was the one who stole the watches or whether he was selling stolen items,” he said during a “Police Meet the Public” session at Tesco Hypermarket in Sungai Dua yesterday.
Watch shop owner Tan Chee Khew, 49, had earlier received information that the 117 watches that were stolen from his shop on June 27 were being sold at Lorong Kulit.
“I went there to check. I know the watches belonged to me after checking the codes and stickers on them.
“I then called the police, but to my dismay, the three policemen who arrived later apparently asked the suspect to pack and go away.
“It was then that I suspected something was amiss,” he said.
ACP Gan said there would be no cover-up in the case.
He said a 15-year-old and a 24-year-old man had been picked up to facilitate investigations into the theft.
The police are also looking for another man to assist in the probe.
