Does it really matter whether she's a Chinese national or our own Malay (or Kadazan) girl ?


According to a " report" in the Utusan Malaysia yesterday, the female who was stripped naked, humiliated and video-taped was a local Malay girl, not a citizen of the People's Republic of China.

Of course, the truth must be investigated leaving no stone unturned for the purpose of criminal prosecution or disciplinary actions, and to repair damages that have been done to Malaysia-China bilateral relations.

However, does it matter politically and morally whether the female was a Chinese national or local Malay girl?

Does it mean that the police actually cannot do any nasty things to Chinese, American, British, Australian, Canadian or other foreign nationals because these countries are strong, powerful and rich, but it is fully empowered or allowed to torture and humiliate our own fellow citizens who have no power or powers (economic, financial, political and military) for protection?

Does it mean that the police could order Norazimah Mohd Nor to strip naked and do pumping in public, or to beat up former PM Anwar Ibrahim with impunity because they are not citizens of China, the United States, Britain, Australia, Canada or some other rich and powerful countries?

If that is the line of reasoning, then I am afraid I have to say that the minds of the writer and the newspaper that publishes the message are absolutely evil. Go for prayer and ask God to remove the evil thoughts in your minds, restore a sense of common humanity and forgive you.
