Not racial but something else

It was sad to hear that a successful Malay business woman was killed brutally. Some UMNO leaders, even the DPM had something to say about this murder and few visited the victims house. I wonder why? Who is Sosilawati, is she a business woman, or an UMNO member or just Malay woman. What if we replace Sosilawati's name with Ah Moi or Letchumi, would these UMNO leaders make a stand or even visit the victims family? The police appealing to the public not to treat this incident into a racial issue.Is there any reason to make it racial? It is a sad incident that many Malaysian despises. But let's ask ourselves why is that similar acts or deaths were not handled in a speedy manner such as Sosilawati's? I am not making it a racial issue either but why did the police not act promptly in solving some other murders over the years?Let me quote some; Triptipal Singh, 60, outside his home in Jalan Yeap Chor Ee on Oct 15, 1992; S Pathmanathan, 29, in his office in China Street on Oct 19, 1997; Chew Sien Chee, 39, in Bukit Mertajam on March 2, 2000; senior civil lawyer SP Annamalai, 59, outside his office in Green Hall on Nov 6, 2007; and R Thinakaran Raman, 37 in Prai on July 27, 2009. These cases are still unsolved and the Selangor Police Chief is saying that they have not closed the case and are still pending investigation! Strange isn't it that the police force still has open cases after 10 years or is it because the victims are all non-malays?
Not being a racist here...just a thought...would it be any different if the victims were Malays!
