How spacious is a motorcycle seat? MCA concerned over 'Ops Bonceng'



MCA is concerned that the "Ops Bonceng" operation by the Terengganu Religious Affairs Department (JHEAT) may descend into a witch hunt against Muslim couples as well as others who look like Malays.
The party's religious harmony bureau chairperson Ti Lian Ker said they are "cautious" about the operation, which stipulates that unmarried Muslim couples in the state should keep "their hands to themselves" and keep their distance from each other while astride a motorcycle.
Enforcers have also said they might extend the enforcement to passengers of other vehicles, including cars.
In response, Ti asked: "How long and spacious is the length of a seat on a motorcycle?"
He also raised the possibility of Malaysians, who are not Muslims but whose complexions may appear like Malay-Muslims, such as the Orang Asli and Eurasians, falling victim to such enforcement.
"JHEAT should explain how its enforcement team will be able to identify and differentiate Caucasians, East Asians and dark-complexioned tourists who are Muslims or non-Muslims," he added.
On extending the enforcement to couples behaving indecently in a car, Ti pointed out there were already laws in place, including public nuisance and indecency laws, to deal with such cases.
He then expressed concern over JHEAT's warning that their enforcement team would operate without cameras and rely only on eyewitness testimonies to take the case to court.

"How can a testimony based solely on hearsay, without corroborative physical evidence, be accepted by the prosecutor or judge in any court, be it criminal or civil cases?
"Such testimonies open the floodgates for perjury and vindictive false accusations in court," he said.
Rather than snooping on people, he said JHEAT should instead assist the police to tackle street crimes. -Mkini
