When I read today’s news about my country, I feel really really bad for what had happened in the past few days. Alot has happened and at some point, I feel ashamed for what happened in our country. I don’t know whether it’s the country’s fault, the government’s fault or the society’s fault that all this happened. Here’s a summary of what happened in the past few days.

MMS showing Royal Police mistreating a Lady
A MMS showing a Royal Policewoman directing a lady that is stripped to do ‘ear squat’. First of all, what we should question is, why would the Royal Police do such thing that really abuse the basic right of a human. Even though she’s being detained, but police are not supposed to execute her themselves. I mean as we used to study in PA, police plays the role in enforcing the law and not take the law themselves in their hand. Another serious question is, Why is such video being taken down in the lockup itself? I mean it’s obvious that no one from the public can go into the lockup to capture that video. That means the only person that are able to capture this video, is the police force themselves. If there is someone else that is not the police force inside the lockup, that means there is something wrong with our police enforcement system. What is the motive of capturing this video is the next question that we should ask. Did the video being captured is for the nation to know about the ugly side of the police force or it was being captured to share among peers and finally reached out to the public? If the reason is the latter, then there is a even more serious problem in the professional ethics of the police force that need to be questioned. Anyway, I sincrely hope that it’s not the latter reason that the video is being captured. — Malaysia Kini

[Edit] Anyway… I don’t think it’s a good idea to go on spreading the video. I think the Lady deserve some respect as she has already have enough of humiliation.

Royal Police sued girl for Reporting Bribery
Girl got stopped for not having a ‘P’, police asked how u wanted to solve it, paid for it and it’s really a typical thing that happened in a country. But this time, the girl reported it and the Police filed a suit to sue the girl back for defamation. I don’t know what to say about this. But clearly, something is wrong somewhere. Ether the ‘P’ is gotten too easy then the bribe won’t be asked and the report of bribery + sueing won’t happened. This one, gotta be researched more clearly to settle it from it root. — The Star

Session turns into a circus
As usual, the sandiwara again. Our beloved MPs turned the Dewan into circus.

The situation inside the Dewan was like a circus when a deputy minister accused opposition MPs of behaving like monkeys.

Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk M. Kayveas was replying to questions about backlog of court cases when Fong Po Kuan (DAP – Batu Gajah) asked him to name the oldest case which had yet to be settled.

Kayveas then began to explain why there was a backlog.

When Lim Kit Siang (DAP – Ipoh Timur) pointed out that he was not answering Fong’s question, Kayveas replied: “Even with foreign visitors (European Parliament members) here, you are behaving like a monkey. See, one monkey behind and one in front.”

He was referring to Fong in the back row, and Lim in the front.

Kayveas fanned the temperature further when he said the reason for the delays was because lawyers who became opposition MPs constantly sought postponements.

When Lim and Fong protested, Kayveas again accused them of behaving like monkeys.

Fong demanded that Kayveas withdraw his remark. He did, but changed his mind when the opposition MPs continued to criticise him.

The pandemonium ended when Ramli ordered Kayveas to withdraw his words.

How embarrassing this is to happened infront of foreign visitors and it’s actually receiving coverage from foreign media. You don’t call people “Monkey” in such a serious place where you discuss important decision of a country. I really think Kayveas should learn how to respect others. If he made the mistake himself, what right does he have to call other Monkeys. I seriously wonder where is his basic manners. Being a deputy minister of the Prime Minister’s Department, he’s a disgrace to our PM and our country.

After reading all these, all i can do is let out a long sigh… and shake my head…. felt that it is better for me to head back to my study and be ignorant rather than knowing what’s going on in the reality.

Ignorance is a BLISS….
