no eye see
I’ve been trying to think of an appropriate angle for this post, but all that has been in my mind the last couple days was “police state, police state, police state, police state, police…”
If you have been following the recent uproar, you’d know why. As for yesterday’s revelation, you can view the still images at Jeff Ooi’s, you can download the video clip at Mack’s, you can read how Teresa Kok received the MMS and showed it to the parliament, you can read Lim Kit Siang documenting the MMS story…
It is understood that the woman in the video clip is not one of the China women who were recently in the news. As important as the distinction is, ultimately who the fuck cares? Take away the tudung, the prayers in the background and skin colour, you have a member of the Malaysia police force with her hands at her hips watching as a naked woman who is POSSIBLY a MALAYSIAN citizen doing ear squats. Oh, and another person who is possibly another member of the police force secretly taping the whole scene then distributing it.
I don’t know much about the law. I don’t even know if this entry is against the law. But I know that what happened in the video is not legal, not allowed and is violating human rights from beginning to end. And we scorn at other countries doing something like that eh? Baby it’s happening right here in our own backyard.
You who is reading this entry right now, should be thoroughly outraged by this issue. We know that it’s not the first time such power has been abused. Is it not right to want it to be the last? If we continue to be blinded by our don’t-give-a-fuck, it’s-each-for-his-own, apa-boleh-buat attitude, one day you or a loved one could be doing the same thing in the same state as the woman in the video, and it would be too late to be wondering why. Judging from the way it was and the way it is, I may not be so off the mark.
And that is a reason to be afraid.
I do maintain in my earlier post that there are too many factors as to why it has become what it is today.
From the little RM5 bribes to the RM5,000 bribes, of why someone ended up in the police force, the living conditions, environment and whatever little pay our local cops are living in and receiving, our lackadaisical attitude in regards to the law, their lackadaisical in regards to our rights; when I say everyone is part of the problem I mean absolutely everyone, from the utmost top to the lowest bottom.
And I know what I am saying is nothing new. I don’t know enough to suggest a solution for the problem either.
But man, this is too sad, too much.

Sad as this definitely is, at least now there’s hard evidence to blow it wide open. If this is not a wake-up call then I don’t know what is.
There’s no excuses for Pak Lah or anyone in charge anymore - they are compelled to act because of this.
Ask you self what even more scary…the fact the ear squat is being done in our jails or some asshole who can actually records on the phone and MMS it about. Who has access to mobile phones while in custody. (forgive the language just rage)
malaysia police strips girl and secretly films her
Another question. Why is there a window next to where the woman is suppose to strip? Why can’t they have her strip in a more secure room? Why is someone able to so conveniently sneak to a window to see where the stripping is being done? Why doesn’t t…
Any wonder why the police give me more heebie-jeebies than the people they arrest? The police are supposed to protect us from law-breakers, but who’s going to protect us from the police?
Sigh.
See while you can, 2 weeks down the road, all will be forgotten. Things will back to normal again.
Just pray that you don’t be at the wrong place and wrong timing, ever.
Sad but even true.
I agree with spiller. That’s how we, Malayisan have always been (and always will?). Malayisan people should come together and voice their concerns to the government. I call for a strike!!!!
mooiness: it’s also ‘a long time coming’.
darthvadai: I don’t know if it’s a jail. It doesn’t look like a jail. I suspect the person who video-d the thing either did that for laughs or s/he was sick of the whole thing. We may never know, but the video’s there.
Erna: off topic a bit, did you realise that the hkg police and hkg triad members pray to the same deity?
spiller: quite sad but true yes. so hit while the iron is hot.
actually I think if no good comes out of this whole she-bang, we are gonna be more fucked than before.
sashimi: aper ni, cannot spell ‘malaysian’ properly ka
so it’s time for a change of attitude, me thinks. unfortunately not everyone is going to give that much of a damn.
I think if we all speak out together, someone is bound to hear us.
Eh Suanie, your blind fold photo seems kinky!… now if you could add a police handcuff to the picture?…. haha.
Seriously and joke aside, this recent case really opens up the dark side of Malaysia’s enforcement agencies and the timing is impeccable. Will be interesting to see how truly we are trying to change and transparent our country is to rest of the world.
To change the current situation in the police force, we need “shared†or “mass†dreams. In these, we dream individually and collectively of
ways in which change could occur.
These dreams can actually help bring about the resulting change. The very energy, direction and focus of these dreams will help change the situation.
But alas, we do not share the same dreams. Each has his or her own dreams and so all our problems recurred and will remain unsolved. The majority in power will dismiss this a one off incident and in their comfort zone would not share your dreams for a change in the insurmountable problems of racial, political and social structure
So how to download the mms? Diificult to comment
ma without seeing the evidence.
scorkes: I just REALLY REALLY hope that this is not a flash in the pan.
mahagurusia: Though I think it’s about time, I wonder about “everyone’s” shared dream (refer to comment below your comment).
kyw: well said.
Fauzi: I put a link there somewhere to Mack’s where you can download the video. If he took it down, then just google or something. It’s all around the internet.
Uproar In Malaysia
I haven’t been in the office for a number of days, and therefore have been quite out of touch with the outside world. Haven’t had the chance to visit my regular news sites or blogs. I come back today and…
