Catch A Thief In Malaysia And Win A Bike

Malaysia's ruling party has thought of a new way to help curb street crime - offer new motorbikes to gangs of illegal street racers if they spend their time catching thieves instead.

The party admits illegal racing and bag-snatch robberies are huge problems in the streets and says bag-snatchers are usually men who grab women's handbags as they race past them on motorcycles, often dragging them head-first into the pavement and sometimes even killing them.

The solution? "Once they catch at least 30 snatch thieves, we will reward them with a motorcycle each as an incentive", Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim, tells a local newspaper.

"Instead of wasting their time, they might as well help police combat crime", he says.
