Selangor's actual crime data is under scrutiny after it was pointed out that the Home Ministry has given three conflicting set of numbers for the crime rate of the past three years.
According to Petaling Jaya Utara parliamentarian Tony Pua, he had received a written parliamentary reply in 2010, which cites the total Selangor's crime cases as 54,443 for 2009.
Two days ago, Pua received a written reply on a similar question, which had sought a detailed breakdown - by type and district - on crime in Selangor.

Pua held a press conference to complain about the vague details in the reply and claimed that it does not show that the war against crime was succeeding.

Abdul Rahim had claimed that the written reply contained a "typographical" error.
