Malaysia’s government has volunteered to help reduce street crime… by offering new motorbikes to illegal street racing gangs if they spend their time catching thieves.

The idea is that the racers quit racing and help catch the bag-snatch robbers who are a major problem on the streets of Kuala Lumpur. The bag-snatchers use small-capacity scooters and the plan is for the racers to use their skills to catch them .

"Once they catch at least 30 snatch thieves, we will reward them with a motorcycle each as an incentive," Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim, head of the party's junior wing said "Instead of wasting their time, they might as well help police combat crime."

At least the cops there recognise they're incompetent and let other people do the job for them. Here, you'll get charged just so the courts can sort it out!
