Practical steps I expect the Government to have taken to #ProtectPhGirls by now

1. Mandate all hotels to get photocopies of National IDs of anyone lodging in their rooms.
2. Increased surveillance by hotel staff.
3. Start a massive awareness campaign to warn everyone about this.

Guys, Someone just drew my attention to something, it appears that the serial killer uses the pillow cases in the hotel rooms to strangle his victims and knots it by their left hand side, notice the pillows? The person is indeed a disturbed psychopath. #ProtectPhGirls pic.twitter.com/hsR5CCDcvp
