Blanding of Women

The term police brutality is blatantly being practiced by the Malaysian Royal Police Force - not only today but in yester-years as well. Making a woman strip while under its detention, compelling a woman to pee in a squating down and detainees died at the hands of the brutes while under detention. If this not police brutality, what is?

The Police may detain anyone if he has proof or evidence that he or she has committed a crime. In the country, we have in place the relevant laws to deal with a criminal - but certainly not the cow-blanding women as was reported in the media. By so doing, it did not respect the right, dignity and pride of a human being.

All personnel who are entrusted with the power of enforcement have this to remember; that is, they must abide by the Rule of Law as espoused in the Rukunegara.

It is up to the Police to show where in the law that empowers them to cow-bland a woman or women or for that matter any human being?

By so doing, the Policemen concerned really show the world what sort of people they are - they are no better than animals for inflicting on and doing such inhuman punishment on another human being.

In my view, the Policemen copncerned by so embroiling themselves in ignominious conduct brought disgrace to the country and this might have an impact on the Malaysian-People's Republic of China foreign relationship. I am sure the Chinese Government will react violently at the inhuman actions of the Malaysian Royal Police force.

What happens if this is happening to the relatives of these inflicting policemen concerned? Would they have kept quiet or react towards what another jurisdiction would have done to them?

How can the public ever respect the Police Force if its personnel are not civil and proud about the uniform that they put on? How can we have peace and harmony if the Force comprises personnel who are sadists and masochists or sado-masochists?

This matter must be taken up and debated at the Parliament. If need be, the Home Ministry must be held responsible for the irresponsible actions of these undesirable elements in the Police Force.
