Malaysia's Innocence Destroyed by Disgusting Sex Crime Charges

Innocence is robbed from the cradle. Young minds in Malaysia are being exposed to sickening sex details of the perverted kind. And innocence is lost. Forever.

It must be very tough growing up in Malaysia these past 10 years. Innocence is robbed from the cradle by the public keeper itself, the Malaysian Government, driven in this rampage and rape of innocent minds by the dominant ruling party. Blinded by power craze and completely devoid of conscience, the ruling politicians bring down their political opponents using not just simple sex charges but the more perverted kind - sodomy - and make complete use of the government-controlled media, the daily tabloids and the courts system to feed young innocent Malaysian minds with daily doses of disgusting sodomy details. It seems that Malaysia's political favourite to bring down the enemy is the sodomy charge. Whenever their positions are threatened, these political animals mobilise the whole government machinery, the notorious ones being, as events have shown, those that uphold and enforce the law of the land, spearheaded by none other than the offices of the Attorney-General (AG) and the Inspector General of Police (IGP).

A child who was an innocent 8-year old in 1998 would be 18 today. The beginnings and the learning of his sexuality, or leaning thereof, would have started in 1998 or much earlier. Now remember the shameful court debacle in 1998 under the rule of the longest-term Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohammed? Remember the sordid and disgusting sodomy details charged against a single Malaysian citizen by the powerful might of the whole Malaysian Government machinery, its media circus and its kangaroo courts, all 'according to standard operating procedures' and legalised by the public prosecutor office and protected by the police? Remember the sickening sight of the mattress being hauled in and out of court, the so-called semen stains evidence and intimate anal intercourse details for all and sundry? The word 'liwat' (sodomy in Malay) instantly became a popular household word and the butt (pun intended) of silly jokes! To a wide-eyed 8-year old just beginning to explore his sexuality, can you imagine what sort of ideas and questioning curiosity can start seeding and growing in his little brain? The whole Government machinery, the media and the legal system were teaching and showing the child that if you want to cut a man down and destroy him and his political ambitions, all you need to do is use the sodomy charge against him the Malaysian way. Sodomy, a very serious crime in largely Muslim Malaysia and punishable up to a 20-year jail-term, is probably the only crime very impossible to disprove, and especially in Malaysia, any shortcoming in evidence can easily be trumped up and fabricated. And the fabrication procedures, as events have shown, are all very legal, covered and protected by the upholders and enforcers of the law in the land - courtesy of the offices of the AG and the IGP!

If the 8-year old child knows how to take the right from the wrong, then everything will be fine and dandy. But remember when you were eight? What sort of ideas on human sexuality did you have then? I was 12, and I couldn't, for the life of me, understand why this particular girl in our school would let herself get pregnant only to be thrown out of school. Why is she so stupid, I fervently asked my friends. They just laughed at my own stupidity. Stupid, perhaps, and no matter how short-lived, innocence and its beauty in childhood were very much alive then.

I may not be a sociologist or psychologist, but common sense tells us that all ideas an adult tells that wide-eyed 8 year-old and those much younger, chances are they will take them for the truths, the facts of life, and the probability are high that they will put those ideas into practice. Notice how, when you thought they were not listening, your 5 or 6-year olds absorb nearly every word that you said (especially those cuss words) just like a sponge, and throw them back to your face at some point later, if not soon? We don't have to have a PhD in sociology or psychology to know that much of our learning on life and our orientation in life start at that tender age. What we heard, saw or were done to us mould us into what we are today.

So having made the issue of sodomy a favourite national past-time of Malaysians starting in 1998, the Malaysian Government should not waste precious time wondering why the problem of homosexuality in Malaysia is reaching a worrisome level. This was what some lawmakers and a Minister recently complained in Parliament just a week or so ago. Do you fault that child of 1998 wanting to explore and experiment with his sexuality, after all, the whole Malaysian Government machinery, the courts system and the circus media fed him all the sordid and perverted sex details for breakfast, lunch and dinner back in 1998? Do you fault that child for trying to figure out what's right from wrong, and what's proper sex and what constitutes sex crime under a religion and the law? Fast forward to 2008. And the same sickening sodomy debacle is being played in public all over again involving the same charge against the same poor fellow (the charges against whom were cleared by the Courts in 2004). And that 8-year old who first witnessed that shameful disgusting event in 1998 is, today, a terribly confused adult, now doubting and wondering what teachings on sexuality he should practice. So, if one puts the blame for rising homosexuality in Malaysia squarely on the Malaysian Government, its legal system and its law enforcer, would one be totally in the wrong?

Be that as it may, one puzzling thing about this whole issue of rising homosexuality in Malaysia is that prior its Parliament debut, this issue is actually a NON ISSUE. All this while, in spite of the 1998 Anwar-sodomy debacle, there has never been a complaint, nay a squeak, from the immensely silent gay community, let alone a demand for their rights. Homosexuality and the gay community are part of the societal landscape in Malaysia but it is more case of 'you may be seen but you are not supposed to be heard'. Homosexuality is snickered at and made fun of, but tolerated simply because the homosexuals may be your sons or daughters, your brothers, your sisters, your relatives or your friends. In a country whose official religion is Islam, the very religion under which sodomy is a very serious crime punishable up to 20 years jail, and sodomy being an inherently homosexual activity, no homosexuals in their right mind would dare utter a single word to officially declare their homosexuality, let alone complain against another of their own and risk imprisonment. Correct me if I am wrong, but aside the 1998 trumped-up sodomy charge against Anwar, I have not yet come across a single news article highlighting or even mentioning the plight of homosexuals in Malaysia. It makes you wonder why a non-issue about homosexuals was suddenly discussed and addressed by Malaysian lawmakers in Parliament as a worrisome problem recently? Incidentally, this discussion in Parliament coincides with the timing of the current sodomy charge against Opposition leader, Anwar Ibrahim, the same fellow charged with the same offence in 1998.

I not only strongly feel that the Malaysian Government should not waste time debating the issue of homosexuality in Parliament because it is a non-issue, but also believe that the Government should not waste precious tax payers money to set up some silly government programmes to handle a non-issue, a problem that no one has ever complain about!

On behalf of right thinking Malaysians, I would like to appeal to the Malaysian Government, its machinery, its courts system and the law enforcers to PLEASE STOP THIS VILE ACT AGAINST A MALAYSIAN CITIZEN. Malaysians are disgusted and sickened by the whole sodomy debacle which is so obviously a political conspiracy against a single Malaysian politician who shows his concern for the plight of the masses. Please stop Malaysia from becoming the biggest laughing stock in the history of the world. Personally, I am not concerned about being laughed at by the world. That we can survive. I am more worried about Malaysia losing the innocence of her children and, more importantly, her conscience.
