Couple holding hands arrested in Malaysia

No, you have discrimanatory laws which do not allow ethnic Chinese and Indians the same rights as ethnic Malays. All Australians have equal rights under law, and this is actually followed. These laws have helped close the income gap between the local Malays and the affluent Chinese community, thereby stabilising the country and creating more social harmony. But they are indeed not needed anymore now, and it would be a good idea to revoke the Bumiputra status which Malays enjoy. There are just too many skilled Chinese who leave the country nowadays. No asylum seekers want to stay in your country. Your GDP per capita is less than 1/10th that of Australia - its a very poor country. What a nonsense - you have never been in Malaysia, have you ? Average wages in Malayia are about 1/3 of average wages in Germany, and Germany has one of the highest GDPs in the world. Most people in Malaysia can afford to have a car, a home, mobile phones, consumer electronics and so on. The standard of living in Malaysia is quite high, which is why few Malaysians feel the need to leave the country. It is also technologically backward, And again you show that you have no idea of what you are talking about. Malaysia is a regional centre for microelectronics (computer chips) and a local manufacturing base for consumer electronics devices and computer parts. Currently they are trying to develop a higher value added industry with the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) effort, south of KL. Anyway, have a look at the capital, to get an idea how "backward" they a http://www.molon.de/galleries/Malaysia/KL/ had racism codified into a set of laws, Not racism - the Bumipura program was created to reduce social disparities. and your prime minister feels he can lock up political opponents on trumped up sodomy charges. By the way, Anwar, had he come to power, would have been a Muslim radical (or close to that). The police force is corrupt, That unfortunately may be the case. and the culture backwards. Not backwards - Malaysia is a very modern and dynamic society. You are a big, important country in the minds of all people who live between between Thailand and Singapore, but let me assure you the rest of the world finds the sight of such a ****ty little country strutting about the world stage as if anybody gave a **** about you amusing at best. They don't even bother showing the video footage of Mahatir getting stuck into the English on English TV, because to explain the joke you would have to explain wher Malaysia actually is ... What a pile of rubbish... -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de/Galleries.htm - Photos from Myanmar, Brunei, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Nepal, Egypt, Austria, Budapest and Portugal |

I saw this white guy, just a few days ago, riding carefully, but shirtless, along Campbell Street. Is it an offence to ride without a shirt? this is news to me.. Not a crime, but certainly bad taste in a SE Asian country. You have to respect local sensibilities. any SE Asia country ...or just Malaysia ? |

Peter Webb wrote: "Kito" wrote in message om... Yes, they gov't thugs in Kuala Lumpur actually arrested a man and woman for holding hands and charged them with indecency. Please boycott the evil country of Malaysia. Yes, some Malaysians may seem nice, but they allow their gov't to do such evil. Malaysia is a joke. Well in Malaysia unlike Australia, we don't oppress the natural inhabitants of the land. No, you have discrimanatory laws which do not allow ethnic Chinese and Indians the same rights as ethnic Malays. All Australians have equal rights under law, and this is actually followed. We don't have racist police beating up teenage boys just because they're the wrong colored skin. No idea what you are talking about. We don't have a pro-war gung-ho Prime Minister who basically is butler (oops i mean sherrif) to good ol George W. , and we certainly don't send our troops into other people lands to conquer them under a false pretence of liberation. Well, you don't actually have much of an army, navy or air-force, and do not have the military capability to deploy troops to the other side of the world. You would be basically just "targets". Hell, you can't even defend yourselves. In WW2 and the communist insurgency of 1954 you had Australian troops defending your country. Didn't hear you bleeting on about "sending troops to other people's lands then". We don't openly deny asylum seekers No asylum seekers want to stay in your country. Your GDP per capita is less than 1/10th that of Australia - its a very poor country. It is also technologically backward, had racism codified into a set of laws, and your prime minister feels he can lock up political opponents on trumped up sodomy charges. The police force is corrupt, and the culture backwards. You are a big, important country in the minds of all people who live between between Thailand and Singapore, but let me assure you the rest of the world finds the sight of such a ****ty little country strutting about the world stage as if anybody gave a **** about you amusing at best. They don't even bother showing the video footage of Mahatir getting stuck into the English on English TV, because to explain the joke you would have to explain wher Malaysia actually is ... nor keep them lock up for decades only to arrest the truly caring Australians who fight for their freedom. All of this and you call us evil??? Again, no idea what you are talking about. Facts: 1) The guy who was arrested claims that he was merely holding hands with his girlfriend. He claims he was fined just because he didn't pay a bribe to the officers. 2) The officers claim that he and his girlfriend were doing more thna holding hands, acts that were considered inappropriate. UNlike western countries, we have a sense of what ia acceptable in a public place. 3) The officers claim trial and pleaded NOT guilty to corruption and their trial is preceeding. 4) The LAW must be held, if a accused was not acquited or his charges dropped, he must either pay the fine or have his day in court. Where if he is innoncent he will be acquited. The Malaysian Government has done the right thing. So the FACTS are that the guy claims he was just holding hands and was arrested for not paying a bribe, and there is no evidence that anything else has occurred, and your defence is that "Unlike western countries, we have a sense of what is acceptable in a public place". Presumably that doesn't include holding hands. Look, don't get too worried about this. This is just another one of those "look how stupid and backward the Malaysians are" stories you see all the time. You surely must be used to them by now. |

What an American-like arrogance nor keep them lock up for decades only to arrest the truly caring Australians who fight for their freedom. All of this and you call us evil??? Neither Australians nor Malaysians are evil. Both countries are absolutely beautiful and people in both countries are great! Traditions are different and Malaysian rules are very hard for westernes, but we have to respect these rules, when we are guest of this country. Again, no idea what you are talking about. Maybe things like Guantanamo, which again is an American way of treatening international agreements and law. I don't think this is possible in Australia tough. Additionally I'd prefer to be thrown into an Australian prison, than into a Malaysian, that's true. So the FACTS are that the guy claims he was just holding hands and was arrested for not paying a bribe, and there is no evidence that anything else has occurred, and your defence is that "Unlike western countries, we have a sense of what is acceptable in a public place".

Neither of you has been there, so what's the point? Well, I really have nice friends in Australia, so I know that you're not representative. After reading your exploits about Malaysia, you've proved yourself an complete ignorant without any sense of decency. Ciao Thomas |

You do not support the economy by cutting the grass The USSR tried to do that. It appeared to be a disaster |
