Terrible, horrible, disgusting 
Permanent link ▫ Post a Comment ▫

To sum up what I have to say on what is happening in Malaysia for the past month, is terrible, horrible, disguting.

First, for a tiniest moment of hope, I thought yay! Disneyland coming to JB. Next day's news, no such thing. Disney has no plans on building a themepark here, right here in Malaysia of lush tropical vast lands, rather cramped into tiny Hong Kong. That was terrible.

Then there was this opposition MP who said the worst things about women in general, specifically divorcees but I think I have posted something on that. That was horrible. Very very horrible.

But the most disgusting happened almost towards the end of May, where I was so into American Idol and Taylor Hicks, I got side tracked.

First we have raping and robbing by foreign nationals. Then we have ah longs threatening people and worse still everybody sees the loan sharks as aggressors, maybe but not all. Then we have accidents after accidents. Then we have incestous rapes, stupid judges (actually particularly one) who sympathised with underage sex/rape/whatever she may feel fit to term it. Then we have kidnap and murder. For the first half year of 2006 alone, there was so many kidnapping cases, mostly involving very young children who are still missing. One that was the biggest impact of all was the very tragic tale of a 7 year old vivacious Chinese boy named Ho Ping.

Ho Ping was kinapped and his kidnappers demanded RM500,000-00 or could've been more. Negotiations were held and the money cut down. However a few days later his body which was stuffed into a luggae bag was found in a stream, hooked by the branch of a tree. He was strangled. But before he was strangled, he was fed with high amount of drugs, what kind I can't remember but before he died he was almost dying of overdose. His kidnapper instead of taking him to the hospital, strangled him and you know the rest. That was already terrible and horrible. Then the biggest news came.

The kidnapper was none other than his 28 year old brother in law and his Chinese (from China) mistress. You see his parents were quite aged when they had this youngest son, and his siblings are all grown up. His sister, pregnant and already I think with 2 children had a useless bum as a husband who refused to work and owed a lot of money. The boy's father helped him pay a huge amount before, and when the father was asked again, the old man refused. That was when the boy disappeared. Apparently that man had the audacity to even accompany the family to lodge police report, feigning fear and worries but in the end this family was betrayed by their own people. That to me was the disgusting part.

That was really the worst news thus far. The whole of Malaysia saw the poor boy's legs jutting out from that luggage bag, and it was very graphic and I question why the press had to take that picture and print it out so big. Because the description of what the boy went through was already heartbreaking. Then the smiling picture of the boy was printed and it was worse. Then the pictures of the grieving family and the killer hiding his face his shame and the manhunt for his mistress. At least he confessed, pointed out where he did what and why. The family suspected him since he had every reason to do what he did. It was a very pitiful sight to see the old parents unable to cry, much too shocked and too much in grief.

You can't even trust your family, who can you trust?

You can check out the news here.

It is unanimous. He is currently Malaysia's most hated man.

I can't even call it a heinous crime because I too was in shock.

Anyway maybe I should end this depressing post on a happier note.

I spent my birthday with my 3 closest friends having dinner at The Ship. We had this rather interesting conversation. As usual almost all the time our conversation would lead to marriage, children and men. So I was voicing my opinion when I said "It is a wonder isn't it? The people in poor nations like Africa, starving and all that and can still have the energy to have sex and have children whilst some of the well fed ones and successful ones can't even have children however much they tried".

It was silly but I believe it as true. My accountant friend, my very best friend gave avery peculiar answer as to why working adults in comfortable living could not have children.

"Well you see, they have stress, like finishing reports on time, work related and stuff".

I was laughing of course because I said "And starving, half dead, raging civil war, those are not stress and pressure?"

Another friend of mine then observed that for example being rubber tappers (lower income group) is easier for those wanting to have children and I was curious so I asked "Why?" and she said "Well they tap tap tap in the break of dawn, rest of the day they have time to you know have sex and do it more often".

I'm sorry but I did voice to them that I was dumbfounded by their observation. Never before I heard that late for projects is more stressful than starving with civil war right behind you back OR that being rubber tapper could give the person more time to have sex.

We had a great time laughing at our silly comments but really, how many of you think like them? I remember telling them "Girls, you have got to get your priorities straight man!".
