Malaysia desperately lack of talent!!

Recently in Malaysia, the boleh (can do) Land, two disturbing courts ruling over statutory rape causes public outcry. While I am no law expert, nor do I intend to challenge the judges' wisdom. I am just as confuse as many of my friends. I am feeling that Malaysia are lacking talents, thus, the judges cannot afford to put "bright" people in jail, otherwise, Malaysia may fail as a nation. It is reported that Malaysia former National Bowler, Noor Afizal, was sentenced by the session court, upheld by the court of appeal, that he be bound by a RM25,000 good behaviour bond. He thus escape jail sentence. Then a few days later, a electrician, named Chuah Guan Jiu, also charged for Statutory Rape also escape jail. He was to be bound over for three years on a RM25,000 good behaviour bond. Look like the first case has lays precedent for future statutory rape cases. First, the defence team need to work toward projecting the young offender has a bright future, and also it is a first time offender. Also ask the offender to show sight of repentant. Proving bright future wasn't too difficult, I think, because, being a FORMER National Youth squad Bowler, Noor Afizal has a bright future. Sorry...I am blur here...He is a former national bowler, if he has a bright future, what is he contributing to the nation now? Is he still a National Bowler? What achievements had he obtain in recent years to prove that he indeed has bright future? Similar question to Mr. Chuah. He was reported to be earning RM30 per day and only recently got a full time job. He too considered to have a bright future? With these standard and comparison, Malaysia should be full of people with "bright" future. What is statutory rape? My layman understanding is that anyone who has sex (inter-course) with a under-age girl (age 16) would considered as statutory rape, even he has the consent of the girl. In these two cases, it is noted that the girls consent to have sex, but why do we need to have this statutory RAPE ruling then? As I understand, this statutory rape thing is for the protection of these under-age girls. They are too young to understand the risks and consequences of having sex, and it is to prevent these sex-thirsty men into coaxing innocent girls. Sentences for statutory rape under Section 376(1) of the Penal Code carries a maximum jail sentence of 20 years and whipping. Just because these young men has "bright" future, they escape jail and whipping. Did we consider the feeling of the girls? Oh....the girls consent to have sex. I wonder how the parents of the girls feel. Statutory Rape does not take into consideration of the girls consent. I believe one important consideration the judges has is the age of the offenders at the time of offend. They are equally young, thus, they escape the jail and whipping punishment. But, is it sending a wrong message to the public? More people hope that the sentence be more harsh, probably 3-6 months jail sentence. Otherwise, why do we need the law for statutory rape? Or it is only applicable to adult men? Would higher Court overturns the judgement and press for at least minimum jail sentences?

Jessie Ooi...Jessie Ooi

Nobody knows about Jessie Ooi prior to the debate between MCA President Chua Soi Lek and DAp Secretary General Lim Guan Eng, and I believe most people may have forgotten what was said by these 2 Chinese leaders.

Everyone (I assume, as far as I am concern)seems to be more interested in Jessie Ooi. Yes, she is the one who posed a question to Lim Guan Eng, which got her all the attention she needed.

The debate was about Malaysian Chinese at the Political Crossroads, and Jessie Ooi's question leave everyone puzzled. Speaking and later screaming in Mandarin, she say:

"Chief Minister Lim, I am half Penangites, you said just now you wanted to reduce the people's burden, secondly, you all made a lot of money, I want to say that you misleaded the people, because Cukai Pintu (door tax?) increased, everything also increased, including AFTER 10:30pm, I personally witnessed TWICE that the whole street is already no cars, but you still ask your enforcement officers to toll people's car, leading to fights and blood over each head, THIS NATURAL / NATURE(? - I am a chinese and I have problem understanding her Mandarin) problem, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO EXPLAIN? IS THIS WHAT YOU MEAN BY REDUCING THE PEOPLE'S BURDEN???????

To view her 40 seconds question that leads her to immediate fame, please see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpuZur09OMU

She does not even need to participate in "30 seconds to fame" She did it within 40 seconds at she is now a popular public figure! but for all the wrong reasons.

Let's us get to know her better and understand her background and her rationale of posing such a question. Very quickly, People conduct background check and reveal that she is a MCA Member, holding a position of a CO-ORDINATOR to the Member of Parliament. She is such a small fry that overshadow the President, stealing all the limelight and also inviting all the cursing and swearing from the cyberspace.

Actually, it is not an unexpected outcome, the majority of the people don't really like MCA as they used to prior to March 08, 2008 General Election. So, when such stupid, nonsense question from a nobody, who can't even speak properly, no manner, wrong construction of sentences, screaming, barking badly like a dog (sorry..a bitch, ) from a MCA member directing to DAP Lim, she should know the consequences.

Please do not mistaken that those attacked and make fun of her are DAP members, NO, many people I come across are non-political parties affiliated. They are just ordinary Malaysian. All are discussing and trying to understand her question, which after minutes, concluded that she is insane.

It is later proven that Penang does not increase the Cukai Pintu (Tax) as claimed, and for the tolling incidents, what is wrong wrong with enforcing the law? Is she claiming that after 10:30pm, there is no need to abide to the law? or she thinks that after 10:30pm, all enforcement agencies are off-work? Is that how BN governed?

If Jessie Ooi is not a MCA member, how much difference would the outcome be?
If she is just a public member, then people may forgive her for barking at the wrong tree and pity her, as she is sadden with all these burden. YES! because, under the current government (BN ruling) It is true that EVERYTHING increases, sugar, water, electricity, flour, petrol, housing, etc so, the public may actually think she actually wanted to direct the question to MCA President Chua!

If Jessie Ooi really want to be famous overnight and yet have the people's support, she should have posed a more simple and factual question like:

"President Chua, you admit that you are a low moral person, who betray your wife and commit adultery, how thick skin are you to think that you have the support of the Malaysian Chinese! (scream) You acknowledge that there are corruption and yet you do nothing! What the hell is MCA doing this while!!!!!!!!!"

Jessie Ooi will also instantly become famous, although she will lose her job, but she win a place in everyone's heart. Unfortunately, she asked the wrong question to the wrong person.
