Teresa Kok did the right thing...

Forget about politics or my political affiliation. There’s nothing to do with politics. Coincidentally I may be staying in her constituency, Seputeh, but it has no bearings to my beliefs on this week’s hot topic – the nude squat. I strongly support her cause for human rights, justice and dignity and let me reiterate today’s topic….she did the right thing!

There were many letters to and from the press in support of her cause. One very good article came from Datuk Wong Chun Wai with his ending remark “Let's fix the problem, not fix somebody”.

Certainly if Teresa Kok (TK) were to be punished for what some myopic politicians believed that she has circulated pornography, then all other ministers involved should also be punished because TK merely brought up the issue on mistreatment of human dignity and never spoke a thing about the race or religion of the nude squat victim. Many other ministers have also pushed the buttons and “sensationalized” the nude squat saga. So why only punish TK? What is the rationale?

There are things that are difficult to fathom at times.

What about the recent case of a lady who gave bride and later took the matter to court. She was sued instead.

What about the recent case of a politician uttering, “You tak suka, you keluar dari Malaysia!”, apparently to another Malaysian?

What about the sparring match of calling each other “Monkey” in the august house of the parliament in the presence of visiting overseas delegates?

Where have all our Malaysian values gone? Are we becoming hooligans with more advanced technologies, taller buildings, bigger airport and better infrastructure systems? I really have no idea. Sorry for the red herring but if you ask me again, I still think TK did the right thing.

Now you tell me…
