A former senior judge sent me this picture and he says, “This is intimidation. Pure and simple”.
Two very brave Policemen (for some reason both are Indians) have been sent to interrogate Tun Siti Hasmah about her appearance at some public gathering.
When I saw this picture, it reminded me that sadly we live among the quite uncivilised. This is a dangerous situation. This is a community which has a number of people who have little or no good values – which I have written about earlier.
This is a recurrence. This type of behaviour keeps popping up, in this way or that way. It is a malaise that does not seem to go away.
Years ago, the late Professor Syed Hussein Alatas wrote a column in the newspaper about apathy in the country. Apathy simply means “I dont give a sit about you or what happened to you. I just dont care’. That is what apathy means.
The event that triggered the Professor’s ire was the death of an Indian Muslim man who fell to his death at the famous Malaya Mansion in Jalan Masjid India (the exact same building where my wife and I ran our business for a long time). The lift doors opened but there was no lift. The mamak man stepped into the lift and fell to the bottom of the lift shaft. It was reported in the news but after a day, no one ever talked about the unnecessary death or about paying some compensation or about checking lifts in our residential buildings. Or until the next person falls to their death.
Then we had the religious persecution cases. The trend began to accelerate about 30 years ago. Those of you who can now see and agree with what I am saying about religion and the ostard wal retards well please understand that my friends and I have been hounded and some of us have suffered arrest, prosecution and persecution for just highlighting the truth. Why does it take 30 years? Its that damned apathy again. The “I dont care” attitude. The people did not care.
Now it has gotten worse and it has come to sit on everyone’s head. Does everyone care? I dont think so. (But dont worry. Not everyone is apathetic. I am here. Still here. And we never tire.)
But here in the picture above, we are talking about a myriad of issues – beginning from simple human rights, freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, corrupt abuse of power, corruption of due process, corruption of morality, if there is such a thing in an apathetic (adjective form of apathy) society, just corruption of everything.
What is the purpose of even investigating this matter? The Police investigate based on someone’s Police report. But the Police also dismiss tens of thousands of Police reports. The Police know better than anyone else when a police report is frivolous or is of no real benefit to investigate.
That Khairuddin fellow has made so many Police Reports. Have the Police investigated all his reports? No they have not. But the Police do things by the book. Meaning they have some procedure to determine if a Police report is worth investigating or not.
If a 91 year old woman, the wife of a former Prime Minister, a medical doctor by training and a symbol of all that is good in a Malay woman stood in the back of a vehicle and said a few words to encourage people to stand up for that which is good (amar makruf) that is most definitely NOT something that warrants any type of investigation by the Police. Dont the Police have anything better to do?
Police take orders. So who gave the Police the orders to investigate Tun Siti Hasmah?
I think this interrogation of a 91 year old woman (yes it was an interrogation – Cambridge English Dictionary : interrogate meaning, definition, what is interrogate: to ask someone a lot of questions for a long time in order to get information) and that photograph just cost the Kleptocratic Thieves a few more tens of thousands of votes.
I believe there are saboteurs in their outfit who wish to do them in from the inside.
Which is mighty? The sword or the keypad?
