What about the Rapists who raped the Underaged Girls?

Two siblings aged ten and thirteen were forced to sell their bodies to Bangladesh men not by any unknown pimps or scoundrels but by their own mother. The mother was arrested, she pleaded guilty, convicted and sentenced to a total of hundred and fifty years of imprisonment. Cruel, wicked mother. One cannot imagine this could happen. The mother – it is a disgrace to call her mother. She is a beast, a worst beast.

It may be that justice has been done. It is true? I don’t think so. Here are two girls – underaged girls-who have had been sexually assaulted, and the law is very clear that the Bangladeshis had indeed committed rape. Yes, they have raped the girls. What action has been taken against them? Section 375(g) is on point, which reads as follows:-

“Rape

375. A man is said to commit “rape” who, except in the case hereinafter excepted, has sexual intercourse with a woman under circumstances falling under any of the following descriptions: ………….. (g) with or without her consent, when she is under sixteen years of age.”

What about the hotel owner where the crime was committed? Did he know of the crime? Or knowing it, he elected to turn blind? Was the hotel known as a place for this type of activity? If so what were the police and the Majlis doing? The hotel owner too ought to be investigated.

THE BULLY AND A STRANGER

by

Those who are self-opinionated and belief that their brutish vocabulary could save them from embarrassment would never learn.

I heard this snippet long time ago. A chap who habitually sat at a corner of a busy street, rebuked, abused, and threatened everyone who passed bywithout dropping few coins in his bowl. The town folks simply tolerated his threats and abuses. He was a beggar. One day a stranger to the town happened to pass by this beggar, who, noticing that he had ignored his presence and had not dropped any coin started to hurl threats and abuses in his usual unholy language. The stranger was flabbergasted and stared at the beggar who now challenged him to a fight. The stranger was angry, he walked up to the beggar and said: “Ok. You want a fight… get up and like a man and fight with me, you scoundrel.” The beggar was quiet. He did not stand up. A local who happened to watch the entire episode, went up to the stranger and explained. “This fellow can’t stand, he has no legs. He survives by throwing threats and abuses at everyone. We ignore him because he is a disadvantaged person and moreover he is mentally deranged.” The stranger looked at the beggar and felt sorry for him. As he walked away he was heard saying our society is rich with mentally deranged persons roaming around who seem to have immense penchant to unleash vulgarity. They should be in lunatic asylum not in public places.

Once the stranger was out-of-sight, the beggar turned to the locals and said: “You see…! He’s a coward. I didn’t stand up. He got scared and escaped.

The locals just ignored him. He is irredeemable.

THE BULLIES BABBLE

by

It is universal knowledge that a person of impeccable upbringing will guard his tongue; his lips will not utter filth. The contrary is true of a person who has had undisciplined upbringing, however erudite that person maybe. A person who knows how to guard the tongue is really wise, but that cannot be said of a person who has not the ability to control the tongue.

An insane person knows not what he is talking. No one should bother about an insane’s person sheer babbling as the innate ability to think no longer dwells in him or her. Raja Petra Kamarudin (RPK), who hides in London is in this category, has insulted Dato Ambiga and Indian women in a most degrading manner. His gutter language reveals his guttersnipe attitude.

On the other hand if he is indeed sane and is driven by other motives to insult Ambiga, it is not strange either that those who resort to such foul language are bankrupt with ideas to debate or reason, hence they rely on their habitual lowly vulgarity.

Aside this, locally there are calls to Ambiga to confirm what had been stated in a London suit brought against Sarawak Reporter’s Clare Brown by PAS leader Dato Hadi. Those who clamour for the information Ambiga is alleged to have disclosed conveniently ignore the fact that it is legally wrong for a potential witness in a pending case to discuss or elaborate as to what had been disclosed in a pleading and which could be an issue at the trial. How did these people who are after Ambiga fail to observe this simple legal norm? Is it political vendetta? or is it sheer bullying attitude? Those who indulge in this unsavoury kind of activity bring shame to Malaysia, and its people.
