4. Of 500 volunteers who were sent for assessment, just 142 were fit enough.
5. The rest were too fat, unfit or had poor overall presentation and grooming.
6. Street crime, particularly mugging, is seen as a serious problem in Malaysia's major cities.
7. The opposition has called for the country's top policeman to be replaced because of the failure to tackle the issue. Script of News Item Two:
Malaysia's Prime Minister, Najib Razak, announced ambitious targets last week to tackle street crime. He wants a 20% fall by this time next year. Retired policemen are being brought back and members of Malaysia's people's volunteer corps are being enlisted to fight on the frontline. They'll join police on street patrols.
The problem is though, most of the first batch were not considered up to it. Of 500 volunteers who were sent for assessment, just 142 were fit enough. The rest were too fat, unfit or had what the head of the corps told an English language newspaper was poor overall presentation and grooming. Corps members wear military uniforms but most of them are unpaid volunteers with limited powers.
Street crime, particularly mugging, is seen as a serious problem in Malaysia's major cities.
The opposition has called for the country's top policeman to be replaced because of the failure to tackle the issue.

Australian police say a nuclear reactor may have been the intended target of a group of terrorist suspects arrested last week in Sydney and Melbourne. The suspects were among a group of 18 Muslims charged with terrorism-related offences.
This is the first official indication as to what the target of this alleged plot might have been. The Lucas Hieghts nuclear facility is on the outskirts of Sydney and is Australia's only reactor. In documents released today the police have said that three of the suspects were stopped and questioned near the plant last December. It's claimed that the defendants have been trying to stockpile large quantities of chemicals. It
is also alleged they attended military style training camps in the Australia outback. Lawyers for the accused have insisted that the case against them was weak and politically motivated.
Section Four Part 1 Feature report Script：
Susie Salmon seems like a typical teenager on the brink of a life filled with so many experiences like the blush of first love.
But fate has a different plan for her. On the way home from school she takes a short cut through a barley field where she is startled by a neighbor, Mr. Harvey.
It will be her last encounter on this Earth. Caught in some in-between place, Susie's spirit watches as her family copes with their loss and her murderer goes on with his life. The title comes from one of her thoughts during this time: \my absence: the connections - sometimes tenuous, sometimes made at great cost, but often magnificent - that happened after I was gone.\
Saoirse Ronan stars as Susie Salmon. The Irish actress, now 16 years old,
first gained international acclaim for her performance in the 2007 drama Atonement.
\TheLovely Bones,\
She explains that not only is her character seen or heard in just about every scene of the film, but also there was the original novel's worldwide legion of fans to consider.
\to her full potential,\that Susie is the way she should be. Of course, people are going to have different ideas of what she should be like &hellip the readers, really. It was something that was always on my mind.\
American actor Stanley Tucci co-stars as the murderer: a mundane character almost invisible to his neighbors.
\he is,\is no doubt and I'll say without question that it was the most difficult
thing I've ever done as an actor.\
Peter Jackson directs and is also the co-writer of the film script, which he admits is no substitute for the vastly more detailed novel by Alice Seybold.
\the book,\he notes. \is a personal impression that Philippa Boyens, Fran Walsh and myself - the three of us wrote the screenplay. We read the book; we responded to aspects of the book, especially emotional themes and things it had to say about the afterlife &hellip that aspect of it, which is very personal to anybody. That's what we responded to. So to me, no adaptation can ever be perfect. It is impossible. You don't make a movie for the fans of the book. You just can not do that.\
The Lovely Bones also features Mark Wahlberg and Rachel Weisz as Susie's bereaved parents. Rose McIver is her younger sister, who uncovers the truth about Susie's fate; and Susan Sarandon plays their flamboyant grandmother. The film's Earthly locations were shot in the US state of Pennsylvania; director Jackson used his native New Zealand for the ethereal scenes of the world beyond. Part 2 Passage
