A bleak future
I woke up this morning to find just how low my country had stooped.
Apparently, in Malaysia, you’re screwed big time if you report a thief. You get accused, slammed, and grinded for publishing a story telling of what a thief does as thief.. stealing things. For what’s worth, in the end, you get detained without trial as a mere reporter.
And the thief.
Oh boy did he got away.
He got a little slamming and grinding. He also got an easy three-year house arrest. He gets to keep the things he stole. He was caught stealing again.
But wait, where’s the arrest?
Just who, is wrong here?
Wow.

Sieg Heil.
God, that’s absolutely horrid. I can’t believe something like that would even happen. They’re condoning it, that’s what they’re doing. They’re sending the statement out that it’s okay to be a thief and take what’s not yours. There’s no justice in that whatsoever.
I know what your talking about, and I am also not happy with the way he got away with it. Shame on those above!!
That’s so wrong. Not to mention weird. I know stealing isn’t as big of a news topic as say, government policy. But so what if it was reported? It’s not like they’re going to stop stealing if they reported it.
And why did the thief get to keep what he stole? I’m sure he’s going to steal more now. He’s got to make it worth the three years of bumming he’ll get after.
@Hans L, this ain’t Germany.
@Lucy, exactly! I wouldn’t have worded that any better!
@Cdason, It’s really obvious! =P Not only shame on them, their actions actually shamed the country as a whole. Reporters getting busted rather then the perpetrators? Only in Malaysia!
@Nicolo, (and to Lucy) Actually, I was using a thief as a metaphor to what really happened. The perpetrator I mentioned in the post did something really much worse than stealing things. i.e, Making serious racial remarks that shook the country.
Malaysians would get what I wrote instantly, but sorry if I didn’t make it clear enough for you. =)
You did make a point though, the ‘theif’ is definitely not going to stop with actions as dumb as what our government did. =
Definitely. It brings me incredible sadness!
@Serene, that’s so true it’s sad. =(
@Eunice, tell me about it! =( It’s that helpless feeling of knowing there’s nothing you can do.
Oh wow… that does really suck if you are a reporter… the scrutiny that accompanies it isn’t worth while… but why do they get persecuted as so?? Isn’t that good to report something like that?
