My Bruce Boy

Beloved Bruce has left us yesterday. It was sad, but I know it's better. Cos the last I saw him, he wasn't able to walk, nor eat, nor drink on his own. He wasn't able to control his pee and poo. His eyes were filled with boogers that he wasn't able to open properly unless we clean em up.

It breaks my heart. It does.

Met with my mum yesterday, and she filled me in on the details.

3 days back, she got the vet to give him a jab, to see if we are able to save his life. Vet said, "In this 2 days, it's either he lived, or not."

2 days back, my mum asked the maid to pull him out of the cage and let him rest under the sun. He, after all, loved his sun-bathing. When she called him, he has the strength to pull his head up and looked at her. When she asked, "Are you doing better today, dear?" He reacted by pulling his head down, away from her - as in saying, no ma'am. As sad as she was, seeing his deteriorating self, mum went with the maid to take their turns to dig a hole to bury him. She knew, it's anytime soon. My dad just returned from overseas then too. He went and spoke to him. We can see he was listening. Later at night, my dad went out to gather with his friends, because it will be his birthday in a couple of hours. Mum said that Bruce was crying throughout the night. Very likely because he was in great pain. It went on till 3am. Then my dad reached home, the moment he opened the house door, mum could hear Bruce giving one last loud breath before he was gone for good.

The next morning, none of the dogs made a sound. It's although they knew what was going on. Not a single bark from them, and we didn't even need to order them to return to their cage once they have done their business. All just move on their own. Lizzy was devastated for sure. She is his partner in games and all. They spent all their time together. When we let her out her cage, she went straight into his, laid down, turned her back towards us and faced the wall. She didn't budge. She didn't even want to eat her food. She needs to mourn the loss, her way.

And it wasn't much later I realized, the same night around 2am or 3am, I don't know for sure. I was jolted awake for no reason. I only felt uncomfortable. I couldn't sleep till 30minutes to an hour later. I'm not sure if I knew, deep inside, he has left. Or it's just a coincidence.

I cried days before when I knew he is to leave. I cried again when he has left. Losing a pet is never easy. Memories of him joining the family as a puppy, his silliness, antics, and forever with his puppy eyes even when he's old, always wanting more pets, more love.

My gentle giant, Bruce, we love you. May heaven be your dream comes true. With running space, treats. Be kind to your 3 older friends who left before you.

A New Beginning - or more like another phase of life!

I didn't realized it been so long! In another 3 months, it will hit 2 years that I last written anything. Either shows how busy I've been with work, life or I've just been damn lazy. Heh!

It has been hectic, from moving to my own place - to prepping myself for the wedding. And yes, you read that right! JACKIE IS GETTING MARRIED!!

Happy Family!! 

I always find something to giggle about. LOL

Well technically and by law, I'm "married" since last year on Feb 13 as I've signed the papers then and there. However, you know the Chinese. We are not married unless we go through the ceremony. Well, that's what our parents say. Haha!

So wedding is coming in December - limited invitations due to space, and basically, child marriage is more for the parents to invite relatives and friends to inform of the wedding, not much for the kids to have fun themselves. So those invited, come and bring crazy fun - those that are not, fret not, we will meet soon! We ain't letting any wedding to tear us apart. But usually, work and crazy life schedules does. Ahem.

With that said, Jackie is hitched! And will be back, when I'm back. Woohoo!!

The Rejected Princesses

I came across this link by chance, on DramaFevers. And I'm intrigued.

Jason Porath, who is a former effects animator for DreamWorks came up with the idea to research and identify seriously flawed/brave/crazy female protagonists in history that would make for great princess characters in movies, but would never see the light of day due to their controversial backgrounds.

He then compiled a list of these women, who come from history, myths and folktales and place them all on his website Rejected Princesses

If you are as fascinated with the women in history that never ever got mentioned, regardless of their achievements and such, well... this is good. Having someone summarized it, then if you are curious enough, you could easily continue with your research on that figure.

SYABAS memang syabas ya *sarcasm*

1. Empangan selangor diuruskan oleh Syabas. 

2. 70% shares di Syabas kepunyaan Puncak Niaga Holdings Bhd (http://www.syabas.com.my/corporate/about-us-our-business). 

3. Pengerusi PNHB ialah Rozali Ismail yang juga merupakan Bendahari parti UMNO (http://www.puncakniaga.com.my/pnhb2/index.php/2011-09-15-09-57-53). 

4. Sebanyak RM20 juta gratuiti dibayar kepada pengerusinya pada tahun 2013 walaupun tidak cekap dalam menguruskan konsesi air (http://www.themalaymailonline.com/malaysia/article/puncak-niaga-boss-got-rm20m-for-incompetence-dap-mp-claims).

5. Syabas gagal dalam menangani isu kekurangan air dan enggan datang dengan rancangan untuk catuan air dan telah meninggalkan tanggungjawab untuk negeri Selangor (http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/selangor-government-will-act-on-water-rationing-since-syabas-has-not).

Saya bersetuju bahawa kerajaan Selangor harus menangani isu ini lebih awal dan mempunyai perancangan jangka panjang (mungkin membina empangan yang lebih untuk menyokong rakyat Selangor yang semakin banyak).

Namun, kenapa kerajaan negeri Selangor 2005 (BN) dan Kerajaan memberi konsesi ini kepada SYABAS untuk tempoh tiga puluh (30) tahun bermula pada 1 Januari 2005, menurut Perjanjian Konsesi bertarikh 15 Disember 2004 (http://www.syabas.com.my/corporate/about-us-our-business). Fikirkan lah.

Of course, my Malay needed further improvement as I'm only capable of using it for normal conversation, not on debating against another. Nonetheless, people should check things out for themselves and make their own decisions, instead of listening to me or others.

Horror on the road with horrendous Malaysia's Taxi Drivers

Malaysia’s Taxis are horrendous, either in their driving, attitude or by “extorting” for payment for charging fix price instead of using the meter. Though not all, but one can certainly hears horror stories more than frequent these days.

It is considered “a driver’s common sense” to avoid or give way to taxi drivers on the road as they are aggressive and won’t be bothered should their vehicle collide with yours. If accident should happen, either they will disappear in speed of lightening, or they will bully their way into telling you it’s your fault and you should compensate them for the damage. As none bothers to lodge complaints against taxi drivers for fear of hassle, they have gotten brazen and even more dangerous on the road.

Today however, I intend to do something about it. On Persiaran Surian (23/04/2014 @ 7.35am), this taxi bearing the plat HBA8458 was so reckless that he almost collide against my vehicle several times. I was on the left lane, and without any indication, he served into my lane taking a sudden left turning from the right lane towards Persiaran Bukit Utama. And that is not all. This driver was serving from left to right, unable to either decide or maintain on his side of the road while kept emergency braking for no particular reason. Shocked and angered, I decided to lodge a complaint only to be disappointed that there isn’t any way to direct the complaint to the right department effectively.

I was directed to the main government website (http://mygov.malaysia.gov.my/) but was more than disappointed with the unhelpful layout as the link for Public Complaints (PCB) is not working. Later, I visited NCCC portal (http://www.nccc.org.my/) to which a complaint has been lodge, but I’m not too sure how this issue will be handled as they may not be the right department to handle such complaint.

Nonetheless, I finally understood why Malaysians has this “tidak apa” attitude and not bothered to do any official complaint. Just to find the right channel to place one’s complaint is a hassle, with the main government portal lacking significantly in this area. For all the money invested into improving the governmental websites, it is highly disappointing that such is the result of the announced improvement. 

In Loving Memory of Brenda Marie De José

I met Brenda years back, when I was part of a self-development seminar - that I attended by pure chance. As I was short-listed in an interview for a coaching company, attending this seminar was part of the process. Little did I know that I would have meet some great people, and made some good friends along the way.

Brenda was one of the two coaches, working alongside Robert Chaen. Both of them have the most dynamic personalities, and their honest nature make it easy for many of us to open ourselves to them. The non-judging environment and just being able to share the hurt hidden deep inside, helped many of us to heal - and continue to heal.

Brenda is a no-nonsense type of person, who say just what she needed to say without sugar-coating her words. She will not say things to hurt, rather wanting one to change for the better with honest feedback. She is sensitive to everyone's needs, and cares deeply to those she just met. Her heart and soul so deep, it is hard not to love her.

She is so amazing with the words she say to each person, as every word spoken rings to heart and soul. She just has that ability to touch people's soul. The words that she has said and written to me, still rings as a conscious reminder to love myself and everyone around me more. 

While her early demise has shattered many, memories of her and her loves still lives on. Perhaps she has a more important role now, to be an angel to touch many more.

Iconic Feminist Moment in 2013

When I saw this post by Miss Representation, I am elated! While I don't personally agree with some posts by them, this one definitely makes my day.

Since high school, I have proudly proclaim myself as a feminist - without knowing the real or definite meaning behind it. Feminist in me then, is about protecting my fellow females from being bullied in schools, speaking openly about crimes against women and children, telling or fighting my ways against some dudes - who thinks they rules because they have a penis. Except if size matters, my boobs are bigger than their balls so they can freaking kick it.

As I matures and experience more in life, I learn that feminism is about:
- protecting the weak
- speaks for those who can't speak for themselves
- allowing women to choose who they want to be without being labelled

It is not about us women, dominating over men or even hates men - as pointed out by some really "small" people. It is to create a platform, where people speaks up against racism, sexism, and against crimes or abuses. It is to allow people to be the best of themselves without being limited because of their sexuality, or race, or religion.

The world need feminism because - if this is a men's world, like many people are saying, you need a woman to keep it in place. It is similar to the Chinese's ying and yang theory - you need both sides to keep the world balanced.

And for fun, I searched for "feminist is ___" on Google. Looking at it, I am offended and amused. Feminism is for everyone - definitely not for white women only and it is not evil. But I guess there definitely many people who are put-off with strong women and men, who stood for what they believes in.

Anyway, back on the topic of Most Iconic Feminist Moments 2013 - courtesy of PolicyMic (to read the awesome article, please click on the link here) - here are some of the videos and articles featured. Feel free to add on what you believe feminism has achieved in the comment column!


1. It is no surprised Jennifer Lawrence is an awesome chick - especially all the kick-ass stunts she did in Hunger Games. So when I found out that she told-off one of her superiors for threatening to fire her if she didn't slim down - I just gonna give her a thumb up (or plenty of thumbs, if I have more than two!). It is rare to find many women celebrating their body, or even standing up to it. And to have a girl who is watched by many millions saying this, I can't imagine the impact it will have on millions of girls around the world!


2. Robin Thicke - there isn't much I needed to say since he is, well, oh-so-famous. But I must say, I love the sarcasms in this feminist parody ~




3. Mallika Sherawat did a great job defending her comment against a female reporter. By public figures like her commenting on the dire state of her country, only then will the country changes for the better. If there are more people like her to whips her country around, it is only a matter of time that it will be a better place for the women to live in.




4. After the fatal, brutal gang rape of a student caused international uproar and mass protests, the Indian parliament passed an anti-rape bill that double the punishment for rape. While this is a huge step forward for India, more follows-up needed as their police still do not take this very seriously.


5. 

6.  "Fitch, Please" is a good phrase. Can't help but love Ellen. Her points are straight and hits bulls-eye on the issue. Like seriously, is there anyone who is a size 0 or size 00? 

7. Malala Yousafzai is an incredible young lady. For sure, I'm not even sure that I can be as strong as she is if I am in the same situation.

8. This parody video created by All India Bakchod - just couldn't come at a better time, especially when recent United Nations reports found two women are raped every hour in India. 

9. The Camp Gyno - this advertisement is pretty awesome. Kids understand it, and adults will have less issues in discussing this with their kids as well. Red badge of courage, yo!!

Making spaghetti :)

Spaghetti is one of the few food that I make real well. It being really simple is one, and knowing what to put in to make it taste better is another =)

The way I cook spaghetti is, it must be easy. Years back, I used to cook the sauce with puree. However in recent years, we have switched to Prego's ready made Chunky Garden - taste not as sour, and much better.

And of course, you can choose your preferred spaghetti - whether it's angelhair, pasta and such. My mum prefer the normal spaghetti and really dislike angelhair - with it being much fine, it tends to get into a big lump once its cooked. My family do not have any specific brand that we goes for, only the cheapest. Because it tastes the same to us. Haha!

The ingredients - my family preferred alot of veggies. We love button mushrooms - here you can see there's two different types of it. One fresh, the other from a can. Both are of different textures, so they bring a slightly different tastes. Obviously, you can't miss out on the tomatoes - it brings some sweetness to the sauce itself. And garlic, tonnes of it!! I love garlic-ky smells and tastes in my food. And oh, soon I'll post up some nutrients in garlic and how + why it is being used as core ingredients in Korea.

As for the meat, we tend to go for minced pork. Minced chicken doesn't bring any taste to the sauce, so it is definitely out of the question. We have tried minced lamb - and mind you, it tastes AWESOME!! So it's a must-try =D

And of course, one thing we can't miss-out - BASIL LEAVES. Basil have this strong flavor that goes really well with anything Italian, and it makes your sauce smells especially yummy!

Basil can easily be grown - just buy the seeds and it will
grown to take over your garden. 

Once you have all the ingredients ready, the whole process is actually very fast. 

First off, to cook the spaghetti - boils a pot of water. Once the water is boiling hot, put in a teaspoon of salt first. As it dissolve, put the spaghetti in and allows it to cook for 5-10 minutes. To ensure it is fully cooked, cut one to see whether the core of the spaghetti is the same color with its outside. If it is, turn off the fire and pour out the water. If you prefer to have the cheese inside the spaghetti (mind you, it will get sticky and icky once its cool), now is the time to put it in the spaghetti so it melt.

Now, the sauce. Once the wok is hot, pour in a reasonable amount of oil. Let it heat for a while, then pour the chopped garlic in. Once the garlic turned a little brown, place the meat into the wok. While you are cooking the meat, once it is about 80% done then it is time to put the mushrooms in. Let it all cook together for a bit, then put in both the basil leaves and tomatoes. Cook it all together for another 5 minutes, the pour in the Preggo. Put in about 1 glass of hot water as well, else the sauce will become too thick as it cooks and dries up. Usually I'll put in 1 teaspoon of salt, but I've known some friends who put sugar instead as they doesn't like the sauce being too sour, so it is a matter of your own preference. Let it boil for another 5 minutes, and voila, you are done!

Gorgeous Rambutans!

Enjoy some basic things today - rambutans peeling! 

As usual, me and mum laughed at the 'orang putih' for calling rambutans as "That hairy red ball of a fruit!". Very asian jokes at its best :)

My nephew and niece several years back, who came back to Malaysia for a holiday visit were shocked with every little thing - and rambutans caught their very interest. Both giggles and kept throwing the rambutans at each other, and truly loved the sweet taste of it. They can be so cute when they are not being a monster!

Anyway, did my best to peel of one and a half bag of rambutans. It took me an hour while leaving some for the maid, and nip my fingers in their process of cutting into the skin with a knife for a speedier process.

Simple task makes me happy :)

Two busy-doggies running around me while I'm at it :)

Getting started!

The finish work!

Looks very yummy, right! But my mum commented that it looked more like baby (or quail) eggs than rambutans, so I have to do a 'somewhat' professional shot at it. Haha!

"Professional Shot" - Which speaks and shows very clearly
that it is rambutans, not quail eggs!

The little 'nip' on the middle finger ~

Cute Whiskey with her puppy's eyes <3

Kepochi Maya - this baby is almost blind in both eyes :(

Learning to live a different life

I know many concerned friends aren't too happy with me 'wasting' my time away in working from home - yet, I have learned to enjoy the simple pleasure of enjoying time with family and myself, away from the rat race. Usually people will reach the point of life, where they realized life is more than all that - I think I've reached this conclusion way earlier than many of my peers. Which ain't that great at times - cos I'm bored to death. So I kept finding ways to keep myself busy - such as finding more means to bring more dough into my bank account, paying bills, and such. Certainly, it can be pretty entertaining at times :)

With the current situation in Malaysia, where everything is finding its way to hike up - my way of living ain't easy, that's for sure. So, lots of planning on income and expenses are coming into play. Working my way to understand handmade crafts and such - sewing, design, creativity... yet ideas seems greater in what I have in my mind that what I sees as the last effort. LOL.

To be honest, I did went for interviews. Unfortunately, none interest me much - mainly because potential amount I'll be earning with these jobs [ salary - (petrol, toll, food expenses) ] ain't that much of a difference from what I am currently doing. So for the amount of time needed to slave myself, doesn't seems to make much sense - at least to me. So I'll have to push harder! Seems like I'll have to push more on giving extra classes than online business now, because the cost will rise further on my side as recent hikes are certainly taking a toll on my earnings. Because of all these, I'm taking serious consideration to work in the UK. And the sudden thought of saving to own a farm in New Zealand sounds very attractive. It will be interesting to see me handling farm animals. Haha!

PosMalaysia's inefficiency

Here I am again, ranting bout the same old thing. Again. Yet the funny part is, despite complaints and suggestions given, nothing has been done to improve. Is this really how any national company should operate in this country?

It is interesting to note that a national delivery company is doing tonnes of other things - payment for utilities bills, assessments and such - and is currently offering even more services or products for sale in its outlets. Yet, it can't even accomplish service efficiency in its core product/service - which is national delivery.

Then again, perhaps this is only a problem faced by small town people of RAWANG. I have heard from friends that in their locations such as Subang or Petaling, the outlets provide a separate counter to handle deliveries - this work best mainly because customers who just want to drop a quick parcels will not be stuck with others who are queuing up to pay their bills. This strategy make much more sense as focus are given to their core product/service. And of course, when there's no customer wanting delivery, the staffs can easily switch back to work on those bills. 

Oh, since now I'm on the others or extra services - it is amusing to see how often the system breaks down which causes furious customers who either waiting in line, or customers who faced the same "System Down" the day before - shoots out burning fire breaths! Sometimes I take pity with the staffs, for their are not to be blamed for system failure and such. On other occasions I will be part of the pissed-off group, due to rude staffs and their extremely slow work attitude.

As PosMalaysia Rawang has just recently moved into AEON Rawang last month, it is understandable things can be a little messy. But surely, this move is not very sudden? I was told that the reason for the move is because the last location in a shop is getting very crowded and mainly they want to employ more staffs to deal with the crowd. Yet after a month of opening in AEON, no new staff has been employed - meaning to say the time is too short to hire? Like seriously?

Perhaps I should really take a fellow friend's suggestion into action. Open a booth outside PosMalaysia - service for sale is online bill payment with just RM2 charge. Surely I can easily make a hundred a day. All I need is - a laptop, internet connection and a printer.

Animals who has more love than humans

I saw this lovely post on ViralNova.com and I just can't let it go without reposting it. After all, it is a beautiful story, and I cried a little at the end. I hope you love it as much as I do <3

What These 11 Animals Did Made Me Cry A Bucket Of Tears. The Most Touching Thing I’ve Ever Seen. 

If you’ve ever doubted that animals have souls and are capable of caring on a deep level, this is going to change your mind. Here are 11 examples of animals being the beautiful creatures that we know they are – you might not need tissues, but it wouldn’t hurt to grab one first.

1. Yang Yun was free diving when she discovered, at the bottom of an arctic pool, that her legs cramped up and she couldn’t move.

telegraph.co.uk

She said, “I began to choke and sank even lower and I thought that was it for me – I was dead. Until I felt this incredible force under me driving me to the surface.” A Beluga whale saw what was happening and lifted her to safety.

telegraph.co.uk

2. This is Oscar, a cat that lived in a nursing home. He could sense when someone was going to die, and he would sit quietly on their bed during their final moments.

One surviving family member of a resident that passed with Oscar by his side said, “Oscar’s presence gave a sense of completion and contentment. Oscar brought a special serenity to the room. What’s more peaceful than a purring cat? What sound more beautiful to fill one’s ears when leaving this life?”

3. When Cindy the chimp died of heart failure, all of the other chimps at this rescue in Cameroon hugged each other and watched in solidarity. A truly beautiful, amazing moment.

dailymail.co.uk

4. The amazing story of Christian the lion is one you will never forget.

5. These abused circus elephants were reunited 25 years later at an elephant sanctuary. Their story is moving.

6. Cows have best friends. They literally get depressed and their stress levels rise when they are not with their BFF.

7. It would be a travesty to leave out the gorilla that remembered his friend.

8. Five children were playing with this Jack Russell Terrier when some stray pit bulls attacked them. “George tried to protect us by barking and rushing at them,” said one of the children about the attack. George was bitten several times and died of his wounds. But he was given an award for his actions.

9. Koko the Gorilla watches her favorite movie and the result is a tear jerker.

10. This Staffordshire bull terrier saved his mommy and daddy. Patricia Adshead was in her house, making tea, when masked men wielding machetes entered. They sliced Patricia’s husband through his hand and went for her. That’s when Oi, the family dog, attacked the attackers. He was sadly hit with the machete, but still managed to chase them out of the house. He later died.

11. Irene Pepperberg had a beautiful relationship with her parrot, Alex. When he died in 2007, his last words to her were: “You be good – I love you.”

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to clean my face up.

Return of the Boom-Boom-Pow!

Actually, with that translated - It actually meant return of the crazy ass - ME!

Not much of a return. Early morning I know for sure what I wanted to talk about. As the day wears on and with me running around the house and doing works online, I suddenly "forgets".

Is it sign of old age? I hope not. I wish not. Hopefully it's just a matter of having "prawn brain". *cries*

It is now year-end, and like many, worries and issues are popping up more than those that you can actually do something about such as
- Crimes on the rise
- New GST introduced
- Petrol hike
- Electric hike
- Sugar hike
- Everyday food and product usage PRICE hike

I was told never to worry on things we can't do anything about. Well, okay. So I'll worry on money management? I've went for some interviews (it's there's a good offer, I'm the type to find out more) only to reject and get rejected on a few. Mostly want me to "slave" on it. It seems that companies these days always put such clause - "May need to work on Saturday or Sunday, or stay after work-hours" which I find ridiculous. You will hear managers telling you "Never bring your personal problems to work" but it seems okay to bring work home though.

Which is why I still prefer working for myself (it can be pretty stressful) but I am able to place myself on time-off when necessary. At the end of the day, it is a matter of priorities. I choose LIFE over money. I just need enough, not too much. I've seen some friends having the time of their lives travelling only to be in depression when back to work. You get what you give. In my case, I get to breathe.

RAPE is a CRIME, nothing less

RAPE has been legalised in this country! As in the minimal years of sentencing these criminal isn't enough, they can get away "scot-free" because they are either young first-time offender, cooperated with the police, shown remorse, had not been "very much older" than the minor and guarantee not to commit such offence again.

Over and over again, we read and listened and are exposed to news about women and children being raped around the globe. Over and over again, people are being educated that rape is a 'crime', and thus focus should be on the criminal, and not on the victim for the way they dress, they way they act for NO ONE ask to be raped!

As in the crime itself is not heinous enough, here in Malaysia - criminals are bound over for THEIR good behaviour. Definitely makes you wonder what kind of law there are (which are actually effective), to protect the victims in this country.

*-*-*

Case 1: A former national youth squad bowler NOOR AFIZAL AZIZAN was bound over for RM25,000 to be of good behavior for five years after he pleaded guilty to the statutory rape of a 13-years-old girl. 

Reason given by the Court of Appeal? He was 19 at the time of the offence, had not been "very much older" than the minor he had consensual sex with, had cooperated with the police, shown remorse, and guarantee that he would not commit such an offence again.

 # Question 1: Is 13-years-old OLD ENOUGH to give consensual sex and able to understand the outcome or result surrounding it? This girl is STILL a CHILD!

 # Question 2: Doesn't being "older" make him understand and realize the situation he's in MUCH BETTER?

 # Question 3: Does his "guarantee" actually warranted anything at all?

 # Question 4: If I stabbed a person, and I plead guilty, and that person allowed me to stab him/her, I cooperated with the police, shown remorse, and guarantee that I will not commit such thing again, will I too be freed?

 # And while the court has defended their decision, saying it has nothing to do with him being someone with power (even little), this decision proves to be rather suspicious, isn't it?

 # Will the court actually still have him bound over if she's their own daughter?

*-*-*

Case 2: A 22-years-old Electrician has been bound over on a good behaviour bond for RM25,000 to be of good behaviour for 3 years after being found guilty to the statutory rape of a 12-years-old girl and 10 months. 

Apparently, the court took into consideration that CHUAH GUAN JIU was a young, first-time offender, consensual sexual act, being a school dropout and HIS future.

The most interesting part are the details of this case which I listed below:

1. DPP Lim Cheah Yit said Chuah had coaxed the girl into skipping school and following him back to his flat on the pretext of him being sick.

2. "She asked him many times to take her to school but he said he was unwell and took her to his home," Lim had said when pressing for deterrent sentence.

3. Counsel Yusuf Idris said his client earned RM30 a day and was staying with his parents and a younger sibling.

4. "This is his first offence. He has a fixed job now and many years ahead of him," he said.

5. Yusuf said his client has repented and urged the court not to impose a custodial sentence in view of Chuah's age.

# Again, a girl who is still very much a child. Can she really consent to sex? 

# From the content of the case, it is highly understood that he has every intention to rape her (so what's so consensual about this?)

 # Does earning RM30 a day as well as staying with parents indirectly caused a person to have an urge to rape, or more precisely, why do that has anything to do with his own decision to rape?

 # Being a first-offender nor a school dropout DO NOT suggest that he will not do it again nor the fact that he do not realize the consequences of his action.

 # Age of a criminal has nothing to do with the crime he commit!!

*-*-*

It sure looks like our Malaysia Courts are lacking funds, else I can't see any reason why these two criminals are allowed to be in the society without any punishment to remind them that what they did is more than wrong, it's heinous. The fact that they are both adults (over the age of 18-years-old) and are more than capable in finding someone of eligible age for sex, speaks volume for their action. 

Despite that offence under Section 376(1) of the Penal Code carries a maximum jail sentence of 20 years and whipping, the fact that I have NEVER throughout these years notice that rapists are punished for more than 10 years shown how little the law cares to protect their very citizens.

I'm not even disappointed anymore, I'm DISGUSTED. Disgusted with the system. Disgusted with the law. Disgusted with this country. Disgusted with the fact that while nothing is being done about all this, the government/politicians are more concerned about protecting their asses with Section 114A of the Evidence Act of 1950 - which very existence is just to stop the citizens from finding out their dirty works in the ministry - just another ISA.
