There
is only gross or public indecency because some folks like to peep or
moral police citizens of this country. Honestly in other civilised
countries, the “offenders” would be told to take it somewhere else,
specifically someplace private.
Here were two consenting (legal
definition) people in a car, who were filmed and allegedly harassed by
unknown individuals who later gave access to the illegally filmed
content to other parties, which then became online fodder for
hypocritical cretins who demanded the state intervene.
Three years
ago as reported in the press, two cops were charged with not only
extorting money from a young couple but also forcing the couple to
engage in a sex act and filming them.
“The policemen are said to have punched one of the victims and extorted RM1,250 from them.
“The
woman also alleged that she was forced to perform oral sex as well as
molested by one of the policemen while her fiance was withdrawing money
from the ATM. We have detained both the policemen and they have been
remanded for a week for further investigation.
“Based on the
police report lodged by the victim, we will take into account the
victim’s allegations and carry out a thorough investigation. If it’s
true the personnel are involved, we will take appropriate action.”
My
question is, why hasn’t the state security apparatus got a dedicated
squad that patrols the online world for Malaysians filming themselves
having sex, or cretins filming consenting adults having sex?
Why
hasn’t the state security apparatus cracked down on the hundreds if not
thousands of locally made videos, some in the privacy of their bedrooms
(which they filmed) or in the great Malaysians outdoors which are
available online?
Sex videos are only a big deal when it comes to the average Joe Rakyat. When it comes to political operatives it means bupkis.
Sheer unmitigated hypocrisy
Remember when the alleged Azmin Ali sex videos were a hot topic and the PDRM could not confirm the participants?
This is what Tommy Thomas said:
"This independent report confirmed Cyber Security’s findings, amongst
others, that 'the inability to identify individuals in the viral videos
is primarily due to the low resolution and quality of the viral videos
and the relatively few number of video frames in which the suspect is
clearly visible'."
I doubt anyone sent the video of this couple
for strenuous tests to verify their identities. But of course, the state
had no problem jumping in and parading the “suspects” as if this was a
major crime.
Indeed every single day, such videos are passed
around social media platforms and hundreds of couples are filming
themselves or are being secretly filmed by others. So when these two
young people are treated like public enemy number one, all you can do is
laugh at the sheer unmitigated hypocrisy of the state security
apparatus, not to mention the political apparatus.
And look, it is
not as if the state security apparatus does not know how to party down,
right? Remember when Bukit Aman busted a group of cops who turned a
police station in Kajang into a karaoke joint? These cops were partying
so hard they did not hear the boys from Bukit Aman knocking on their
door.
From reportage
- Among others, the team seized a liquor bottle, five bottles of ketum,
lighting and audio equipment as well as lewd photographs depicting one
of the policemen with a woman who was among those detained.
As for
those photographs, was anyone charged with gross indecency? As reported
in the press, Bukit Aman Standards Compliance Integrity Department
director Azri Ahmad confirmed the incident.
“The action of the officer, personnel and others involved violates the Covid-19 standard operating procedure.
“We
will not compromise with any quarters who violate the rules,” he said,
adding that the matter is being investigated under Section 269 of the
Penal Code.
As for those bottles of ketum, keep in mind that the
PDRM in the past couple of years have been investigating their own, when
it comes to processing and selling ketum juice. And this happens in
police barracks.
And this is apparently worrying for the top brass
of the state security apparatus as then director of Bukit Aman
Integrity and Standard Compliance Department Zamri Yahya told the press
- “This is very worrying because the involvement of police personnel in
the activity has never happened and has never been detected before.
“In
the past, there were reports of ketum intake among personnel but now it
has shifted to selling and processing activities, with them also hiring
others for around RM80 a day to sell it.”
This is the problem
with moral policing. Not only does it infringe upon the rights of
citizens it also leads to all manner of more serious crimes being
carried out while guarding the “morality” of the citizens of a country.
If
this is indeed about “morality” I humbly submit that it is the
political, security and judicial apparatuses which should be subjected
to the most intense scrutiny. Not a young couple in a car.
If anything, it is these institutions where gross indecency is perpetrated and perpetuated nearly every single day.
