Insanity

Malaysian and their policemen are like a comic strip.
When the issue of the Chinese woman being made to do squats in the nude came out in the papers, there were some people who had the nerve to ask the police to investigate the person who took the clip.....instead of investigating how deeply prejudiced and wrong our police force are for allowing such incidents to take place.

There were some other quarters who blasted the media for highlighting the weak points of the police, saying that such spotlight would demoralize the police force/paint a bad picture of Malaysia...So are they saying that we must just keep quiet even if the whole police force disintergrates?

Then now, some wise lawyer says that MP of Seputeh Teressa Kok should be charged for showing pornographic material in the Dewan Rakyat when she showed proof that the video clip was true on her laptop....some wise lawyer indeed...

And another policeman is taking a student to court, because she filed a report with the ACA against him, even before his non-guilty verdict was handed down..(emm..maybe he knew about the verdict already la, if not why so confident?)

All of us know that our police force is not spotless. Most of us don't even hold it to high regard.

But this is just too much. Imagine if you were forced to be stripped search, just because you are of a different nationality. Yes, it's true that some Chinese citizens overstay and come to Malaysia illegally. But since our dear policemen have trouble catching the VCD sellers that operate in the pasar malam every Tuesday and Friday (I even know their operating hours better than the detectives..how come yea?) I suppose they also have a problem reading passport and documents too. Or respecting something called human dignity.

At the end of the day, I know policemen who are just simple, normal people. But it's the whole organization that's corrupts people.

Maybe it's just Malaysia. Or maybe it's just me, too idealistic, not expecting much but just hoping that basic principles of living; justice, intergrity, safety, trust...would still be a reality.
