Victims of Forced Balding To Sue Government and Police
RM 1 million is the magic number this time as the 11 men who had their heads shaved while in police custody will sue the government and police for exactly that much money. Not surprisingly, the lawyers that will take the case of the 11 men are DAP lawyers, with DAP Secretary-General Lim Guan Eng saying that:
It is an illegal practice (to shave a detainee bald) as the Lock-Up Rules do not provide for it. I have been detained before and never have they shaved my head bald.
Hopefully, gambling rules pertaining to mahjong will also be made clear as this case progresses as it seems unfortunate that, “Now nobody in our village dares to touch mahjong and all the elderly folk have to pass the time drinking tea and having no fun.”

Not surprising, the police who are involved were either anti-chinese, or pro-islam who hates other religions. These are the pigs that made the other good police look bad. I’m sure there’re many other good police who are doing their very best to keep their image clean, but only takes 1 or 2 pigs to destroy the efforts.

Very, very true. Like in any power-wielding organisation, I believe there will always be black sheep among a generally responsible police force.
But then there’s today’s report on how there were actually 103 male detainees who were given crew cuts. Everything becomes screwy again. Were they all non-Malays - which makes the problem even worse - or did the police really just do their job (in a very twisted sense)?

[…] I wonder how I missed reporting this. Anyway, the New Straits Times reports that 10 of the 11 suspected gamblers who had their heads shaved during lock-up will no longer file suit against the police. This, of course, comes after they announced their intentions to sue the police and the government for RM 1 million a few days back. […]
