Safe Universities Please?

I am gutted as I read and hear of crimes happening in universities. In a place where we expect doctors, engineers, scientists and what-nots to emerge, we hear of peeping-toms, rape, sodomy, sexual harassments, gang fights, bully, thefts... Then there are neighbouring universaties whose students intentionally hurt one another in the name of justice & idealogy.

My friend returned to KL for a one week holiday. It was only 6 weeks since she left for university and already she has told of several crimes happening in her university & hostel. She said that her friends had their clothes stolen. She also witnessed a snatch-theft at the main bus stop.

All she can do is take preventive measures & live her life cautiously. All I can do is pray & write. Can someone who can & is suppose to do something do something to make universities safe again?
