Gambar bogel: Teresa wajar bayar ganti rugi aib
Monday, 26-12-2005KEMAMAN 25 Dis. – Ketua Penerangan UMNO Terengganu, Ahmad Shabery Cheek berkata, Ahli Parlimen Seputeh, Teresa Kok perlu bertanggungjawab sepenuhnya terhadap aib besar yang terpaksa ditanggung oleh wanita yang gambar bogelnya ketika ketuk-ketampi dirakam dalam lokap polis apabila ia kini menjadi tontonan umum.
Menurutnya, walau apapun motif ahli Parlimen DAP itu, pendedahan rakaman aksi yang memalukan wanita itu di Parlimen sehingga ia mendapat liputan meluas media tempatan dan antarabangsa, tidak wajar dilakukan.
``Saya sendiri tidak dapat membayangkan bagaimana perasaan wanita Melayu itu dan keluarganya setelah diaib sebegitu rupa oleh Teresa apabila gambar bogelnya menjadi tontonan umum.
``Perbuatan Teresa itu bukan saja menjatuhkan maruah Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) tetapi telah menggadai maruah dan aib seorang wanita,’’ katanya.
Beliau berkata demikian ketika ditemui selepas Majlis Penyerahan Mesin Rawatan untuk pesakit talasemia, Nur Arina Amri oleh Yayasan Bakti Khidmat Masyarakat di Dewan Majlis Perbandaran Kemaman di sini, semalam.
Turut hadir ialah Presiden Yayasan Bakti Khidmat Masyarakat Malaysia, Datuk Saharuddin Awang Yahya dan Pengurus Besarnya, Shaeda Romli.
Ahmad Shabery yang juga Ahli Parlimen Kemaman sebelum ini mendesak pemimpin wanita DAP itu memohon maaf secara terbuka kepada PDRM tetapi sehingga kini belum ada respons daripada Teresa.
Serba salah
Beliau menganggap Teresa kini berada dalam keadaan serba salah kerana isu yang dibangkitkannya untuk kepentingan politik ternyata memakan diri sendiri.
``Dari awal lagi, Teresa patut lebih mengetahui mengenai saluran yang perlu beliau laporkan jika mendapat tahu mengenai salah laku polis tetapi atas kepentingan politik, beliau lebih cenderung menggunakan cara memalukan itu.
``Apa yang dilakukannya itu jika dibiarkan seperti menggalakkan gejala pengintai yang merakamkan gambar-gambar bogel wanita tempatan dan kemudiannya disebarkan untuk tontonan umum.
``Golongan yang suka mengintai bagi merakamkan gambar bogel wanita adalah gejala orang sakit jiwa yang perlu ditangani oleh ahli politik seperti Teresa dan bukannya menggalakkan lagi gejala itu,’’ tegasnya.
Beliau memberi contoh mengenai kesan yang bakal dialami oleh seseorang wanita apabila gambar bogelnya ketika menerima rawatan di hospital atau dalam proses pemeriksaan pihak berkuasa kerana kes-kes tertentu dirakam curi oleh kakitangan kerajaan atau anggota polis yang `suka mengintai’.
Sehubungan itu, Ahmad Shabery mahu Teresa tidak mengambil sikap mendiamkan diri dan perlu segera memohon maaf kepada PDRM dan wanita Melayu yang dimalukan itu.
``Teresa bukan saja perlu memohon maaf tetapi wajar membayar ganti rugi atas aib yang diterima oleh wanita Melayu itu dan keluarganya,’’ tegas beliau lagi.
they dont get it do they? Don’t they understand the root of the issue? It’s just too bad that they continue to play the propaganda game via they flagship paper to their own glee

A crude and highly irrational way of diverting the issue.

The only rational I can understand from the above is that this is an easy way of scoring political points. More worrying is that some voting population actually subscribe to this without a balance consideration.
In US, when Enron blew up, they come up with Sabanes-Oxley Act and protection for whistler blowers. Here, we seem to regress when we manage to grab international attention in the wrong manner.
Bringing shame to police? The people bringing shame to the police is those individuals who violate procedures, especially those who took the photo and the individual who admitted in broad day light that every person brought to the station, including traffic offenders also have to do naked squat!
YB Teresa, we are with you all the way. We respect you for your courage, impartiality and conscience. Don’t be dishearten by what the load of rubbish floating around. We will vote for you!

Also, YB. I think your blog is very impartial and fair. You allow a negative comment, however incomprehensible to many of us it may be, however we may diagree with it, to be published at your blog.
Your blog allows criticism at you to be heard. Yes, maybe they have a point, maybe they don’t. It just shows that you practice much more democracy in your cyber space than any other one else I come accross. Imagine the laman UMNO having your views there? Highly improbable.

These moralizing preaching politicians is the reason why the separation of politics and religion as well as bill of individual privacy is so important. The U.S. discovered these things more than a century ago and this guy is still stuck there. We are only lucky we are a small nation with no vast rural areas where people can be influenced or we would have chaos and perversion of all kinds brought on by these people.

The whole issue is with regards to the dignity of people under police detention, be it a Chinese National, an American National, a Bangladeshi or Malaysian.
I agree that when you first aired the whole issue, you never mentioned that it was a Chinese National but you said that this supports the case made by the earlier complaints made by the Chinese Nationals (represented by your goodself).
The entire media (save for the Sun) speculated that it was a Chinese National and there as a furry of brick bats against the police. Many MPs including from the BN spoke against the police for their treatment against the “so-called” Chinese National” and Datuk Nazri was or appeared to be supportive for your cause.
However, now that the identity of the “so-called” Chinese National” has been revealed, we now have the true champions of human rights and dignity. Where were these co-called champions when they though the woman concerned was a “so-called” Chinese National”? Why are they appearing now? This is the sad part of Malaysian politics.
These so-called champions who now accuse you of humiliating this “so-called” Chinese National” by revealing naked pictures of her.
But who has humiliated her. IMHO, she has been humiliated mainly by the Royal Malaysian Police and by the person(s) who taped the ear-squating. It was only a matter of time before the clip would be circulated throughout Malaysia and Michael Chong has also revealed that he received the clip long before you did and made a police report. But what was of the police report, the Independent Commission should seriously look into it as to the lack of action taken by the police.
I cannot remember the names but basically Policeman A said that Policeman B showed him the clip some time ago and Policeman A told Policeman B to delete the clip. Policeman B (of course) denies the incident but cannot account for where the phone is which I think cost much more than what Policeman B makes in a month. Tun rightfully tells Policeman B to tell the truth.
What is important is that action MUST be taken against Policeman A as he being more senior to Policeman B merely told the latter to delete the clip, akin to destroying evidence. Whether Policeman B actually made the clip must be investigated separately but Policeman A should be sacked from the force, if not jailed for being an accessory to a crime against the woman concerned.
I hope that the Independent Commission will recommend that this so-called accepted norm be disallowed.

Ahmad has been trying in vain to climb up the slippery UMNO ladder since he crossed over from Semangat 46. He needs to project this “Champion of the Malay” image to get further but he does not realize how stupid and idiotic he sounds. Here we have a Malay policewoman making the girl do the naked squat, another policeman taking the video clip and circulating it for months, then we have Teresa showing one of those clips (among the hundreds) to some MPs, then we have the media picking it up and letting the world see what our police has done.
How on earth did he find Teresa as the one at fault.
He is surely a sick politician, in need of psychiatric treatment. Ahmad, please grow up.

I wonder sometimes whether people hear themselves when they speak and read what they read…because there are some people who are completely missing this issue with regards to the “Squategate” incident. The whole issue is the fact that someone taped the strip search of a woman detainee. The issue is not about the police procedure (strip search & ear squats) and certainly not about the revelation made by YB. To the people who are missing the issue: Please go get a brain!

How could one intially with the good intention to protect the woman dignity and human right, but at the end being blamed for tarnishing the police force image!!
This is rediculous and unbelieveable!!
In the first place we should always ask ourself
1) Is the strip search and ear squating comply to the written procedures?
2) If yes, is it still suitable in this increasing human right awareness modern world?
3) Is there any others more civilised alternatives to replace this primitive method to detect any hidden objects in the human body?
4) How could peeping and taping could happen in “tight security” police station?
After answer all these questions accordingly, i think we should able to handle this issue with more rationally rather than emotionally
YB we always be with you along the path

Just wonder:
1) who qre the husband/boy friend/family of the “malay woman”? Should they not come out and ask for remedy? The Thamby Chik episode saw a grand mother made public appearance in the last century…..
2) how many readers of the Utusan Malaysia would agree with their stand – that YB Kok smeared mud on the country, the police and the girl; or they also see that the issue on hand is about needing to right weaknesses in police procedures and repairing the image of the country in the eyes of the world?
Also, isn’t this an issue concerning the dignity of a muslim woman in a muslim country? what’s the stand of UMNO and Pas on this issue? In the backdrop of this, the new marriage/divorce legislation comes out…talk about prefect timing…..
The sweet songs of “malaysia truly asia”, “rasa sayang” may not be the most popular promotional tune in the world’s biggest consumer’s back yard right now; no matter how popular Victor Wong is becoming over there…..

I am tempted to post a second time on this issue. If Ahmad is so concerned about Women’s rights and dignity , where was he when the Islamic Family Law was passed in the Dewan?.
Why did he vote for the Bill? Did he speak out for the rights of women then?
Admad is an opportunist. No one will hear him barking and no action will be taken against Kok for she has done no wrong.

Utusan Malaysia has always fanned the most idiotic attacks by Umno politicians. This is how low media standards have sunk, especially Malay press. Conditioned as Umno’s mouthpiece all these years, they start to have the same mentality and cannot think logically. There’s little we can do to save Utusan from Umno, but we can change legislation and free the other press so that they can improve and do what should have been their job all this while: report the truth. Also at stake here is freedom of information, which ensures transparency and accountability. Please suppoprt and sign the petition here: http://www.petitiononline.com/foiMsia/petition.html
