Those SOBs tortured Muslims too

Reading the news about how the Chinese lady who were being humiliated in a police lockup, I cannot help but feel that a segment of our police forces have become dangerous psychopaths and sex-maniacs either as the results of individual kurang ajar, or collective and formal 'national security' indoctrination over a long period time.

Although the investigation of the scandal must leave no stone unturned and the culprit be severely punished, I must also say that worse cases happened before. I have a strong impression that torture has been 'normalised' by forgetful people who are intellectually unable to connect dots and build lines or patterns.

The affidavit of Dr. Munawar Anee, a Pakistani-American Muslim intellectual who was former PM Anwar Ibrahim's speech writer should be read again and again for our psychologists and psychiatrists to probe into the hearts and minds of those SOBs and/or their instructors, trainers and/or political masterminds.

The affidavit gives psychological pictures or profiles of a group of state-sanctioned bodoh sombong and psychopathetic SOBs who were indoctrinated to enjoy humiliating and torturing people as their 'professional jobs' and ' patriotic duties'.

Elements of individual megalomania and narcissism can also be clearly detected.

German journalist Joachim C. Fest's The Face of the Third Reich (London, Penguin, 1979) should be read by Malaysians to penetrate into the hearts and minds of these SOBs in our midst and their social psychology.
