I emigrated to the UK from Malaysia as a child after the infamous riots where was 35 years ago and things have not changed much.

It is common to read in the Malaysian tabloids that these uncivilised malay buggers rape their own daughters and perform other disgusting acts.

I have no regrets at all when I surrendered my Malaysian passport and took up British nationality.

My advice to all oversea Chinese is to avoid Malaysia like the plague.

You know something - once outside the perimeters of Malaysia, these malay savages are so small in value even a dog has more value than them!

The shameful incident of a Chinese detainee being asked to ear squats in the nude is just the tip of the iceberg

When the former IGP inflicted the infamous black eye on Anwar, he knew at that time that his political master would protect him. Until the international press highlighted it.

When the police harassed the Indian IT expatriates, the Indian government retaliated. When the mistreated Chinese tourists protested, the Chinese government backed them up.

All in all, Malaysia only backtracked when a Big Brother country came into the picture.

What happens to the thousands of Bangladeshis, Indonesians, Thais, etc who are harassed daily? Nobody bothered. Why? Because there would be no political or economic fallout.

The root cause of police brutality is simply explained by famous words, "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely". Added to this dilemma, Malaysia has not seen a change of government since independence in 1957.

This country has been and continues to head in the wrong direction, setting it further back from developed countries and undoing the good work of others in the last four decades.

I propose a national independent commission to investigate and publicly report on the alleged widespread abuse and corruption in the police force. The police should not be allowed to investigate itself. This idea seems simply ridiculous.

Abuses of police power are just the symptoms of a sick government elected by an equally sick society. We need the cure. Change must be holistic and in a total package.

Ideally, we need a change of government with a two-party system.

Unfortunately, many don't trust PAS with its Taliban leanings. It appears strategic that Anwar should lead a moderate coalition comprising Keadilan and DAP as the pillars that will include parties representing the minorities.

Undoubtedly this will be difficult to achieve but it needs to start now.

There is no more room for such nonsense for this country is collapsing under the burgeoning weight of all these fat and waste.

Let us improve in every aspect to build our Malaysia Boleh tag - which will not be fulfilled in the next hundred years if we continue like this.

The problem with Malaysia ministers is that they are mostly underachievers academically!

That is the reason why they simply speak without logic and reasons. This is also the very reason that I admire Lim Kit Siang, Karpal, etc, who can debate intelligently with those monkeys who never bother to understand what is uttered.

Just compare the resume of Malaysia ministers with that from our southern neighbour! Then you will understand.

I know their prime minister has a first class honors in science from Cambridge if I am not mistaken. The rest of his cabinets are very highly qualified. Hence you don't hear nonsense from them.

For your information, some Malaysia ministers would not be at all qualified for even an assistant post!

Our country leaders, not necessary meaning the prime minister, but overall people in power, people of authority, etc have no integrity, no moral, no self respect and most of no accountability and responsibility.

Let's not compare with other countries, as no countries have perfect leaders, but what they have is integrity.

When they do something wrong and they know it is wrong, nobody need to tell them to resign, they won't say our Malaysia usual line "Nobody can resign me except the prime minister" - we should call this the ball-less line.

If you have integrity and honest enough, you should just resign.

I would like to inform that I am a pure Malaysian and I have nothing against my beloved country. In other words, ‘We Malaysians, Are Proud to be Malaysians!’ I was abroad for awhile and met a lot of people from all sorts of backgrounds. Most of them who met me, really had good things to say about Malaysia. It made me proud and longed to come back to Malaysia. Here I am, back home and what do I see? Let me tell you these. What happens to the Malaysians? The Malays, come on wake up at yourselves!

I was in UAE, for your information it is a developing Muslim country and has more expatriates than the locals. It is a flexible country, yet they are stricter than Malaysia. Hardly you heard of crimes and seeing thefts over there. Nobody dares, I should say. It is because of the rules and the authority. I myself, a liberal muslim and used to think of Hudud as an unbelievable punishments. However, since I came back, I am having a second thought. Hudud is not bad after all, if only we could implement it wisely and not to the extreme. Why am I saying this? Look around us, muslims or non-muslims I think would agree with this fact. We feel insecure and scared lately. You could hear that rapes, murders, robs etc are common news daily compared to before. Please do not take this lightly, think of our lives and families. Crimes are spreading, but hopefully it would not get worse than these. Nothing fears those criminals. They have seen the punishments that would not be bad after all for them. Their lives would continue. That is why most criminals, in some ways dare to challenge the authority, provided the authority would not take advantage of the situation. It is time to tell them ‘Who’s the Boss!’ We could implement some Hudud laws to certain crimes. Investigations should be done diligently, in order not to punish the wrong people. Muslims or non-muslims, nothing to be scared of Hudud. If you are not a criminal, your life is spared.

Let us look at some cases, those who have been caught stealing only sentenced to a few years prison. Shall we spare the hands of those who stole from others? Especially from those who makes ends meet. What does a rapist get for their punishment? Shall we spare the lives of those who raped and murdered our families and daughters? Should they be hanged and set an examples to those who think that lives are no value. The punishments that were sentenced to the offenders do not set effective examples to other criminals at large.

We want to feel secure and to have our children growing up in a safe environment. Things could get worse if all of us do not care. At least for now, we should look out for each other. Try not to be selfish and stuck-up. Get to know your neighbours, because you would never know when you would need their help. Above all, we need to see that suitable punishments are to be taken seriously for the crime offenders and for us to
