Malaysian Perverts, how to deal with them

Today's criminal procedure tutorial, sparked the flame again....

To understand what I'm talking about head on to --> DIE!! PERVERTS!!! DIE!!!!!!!
May all perverts be cursed for seven generations, and die a horrible death!!! Yes, I'm evil for cursing, but I'm sure all victims share my sentiments....

So since today was a criminal procedure tutorial, and my lecturer is an active criminal lawyer, well versed in Malaysia's Criminal law, I decided to ask him, what can we poor unsuspecting women do, the next time we meet such a pervert?

Bear in mind our Malaysian Law, The Criminal Procedure Code [CPC], [Act 593], [Revised- 1999] provides for punishment of those sick-os.... (all Statutes are quoted from there...)

Section 354 of the Penal Code reads as:

• Assault or use of criminal force to a woman with intent to outrage her modesty.

• The Accused may be arrested by the police with or without warrant.

• In the first instance, a warrant shall be ordinary issued.

• It is a bailable offence

• It is not compoundable, and

• It is punishable with Imprisonment for ten years, or fine, or whipping, or any two of such punishments.

For the laymen, that reads as:

• For someone who is caught molesting a woman...

• A warrant is not needed to arrest him, i.e. you don't need permission from the authorities to capture such a pervert, so a citizen arrest would be fine too... provided that you hand him over to the police ASAP.... (Section 27(1) CPC: Any private person may arrest any person who in his view commits a non bailable & seizable offence... Shall without unnecessary delay hand over the arrested person to the nearest police officer/ police station... Notice the problem here is "Non Bailable offence"? So we shall head to Section 27(2) CPC: If there is a reason to believe the arrested person falls under the provisions of section 23 the police officer shall re-arrest him... what is section 23 then?... Section 23 CPC: The police may arrest without a warrant, any person... or against whom reasonable complaint has been made.... To cut a long story short, just do as above...)
  

• Honestly, I'm not very sure about the 3rd point... but according to Mel, my classmate (thanks, dear), it means that when you want to bring that pervert to court for the first time (Court of first instance), a warrant will be issued...

• A bailable offence, under section 387 of the CPC, means that any police officer in charge of a police station (OCPD), or any police officer not below the rank of Corporal or the court, if he thinks fit, can discharge the pervert on executing a bond.. The court then can set bail for him, provided it's not excessive but sufficient to secure the attendance of the person arrested (section 389 CPC) --- for those who don't know what a bail is, it's a certain amount of money, determined by the court, that the accused has to pay into court so that the pervert can walk around outside of prison, till the date of his trail...

• It is not compoundable means that happily, he can't just offer you money and walk away scot free, he has to be judged by the court; Or next, we will get a rich pervert feeling up our derrière... But I guess if you have money, please go to the Red Light District, i.e. Chow Kit Road...
  

• Well this section is punitive in nature i.e. meant to punish the pervert, so he has to either rot in jail for 10 years, unless he can pay his way out of it (I guess, following the wording....), or receive some strokes of the whips (to cut down on his jail time?), or he can be both fined and jailed, or fined and whipped, or whipped and imprisoned, or any 2 combination of the 3 punishments! LET'S GET THEM ALL WHIPPED AND IMPRISONED, I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE THE SOLE BREAD WINNER, YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW!!!! Die! You Pervert!!

Okay, so now that we have the law, the second issue is, how do we use it? To put it in another way...

How on earth do we convict those perverts?

An interesting question I posed to my lecturer.. "How do we convict these perverts?" My reasoning was that, usually they molest you in public crowded areas, that means no CCTV, and no one can see what's going on.

It's human nature that they don't usually look below or above eye level, and it so happens that your derrière is below eye level. There's no evidence left behind. As in my case, since his finger touched my waist (ARGHHHH!! disgusting), IF we had the technology, we could, as a matter of fact, acquire his fingerprints right of my body, to be used as evidence... IF.....

Without CCTV to record his actions, or even with CCTV, it's crowded and it will be so difficult to record, how then do you catch that pervert?

My lecturer suggested slapping the sick-o....

Which leads me to the question..
Then won't I be charged with assault instead? Which could very well result in me sitting in prison for one year or being fined RM2000 or both... (Section 323 Penal Code: Voluntarily Causing Hurt)

But according to my lecturer, My testimony, (That the pervert was molesting me) would seem stronger in court. I don't really see a way to convict the pervert, unless he pleads guilty.

If he pleads guilty, then that would be the end of it, but if he doesn't plead guilty, and instead counter claims against me for slapping him.. What do I do then? Though my lecturer assured me that as everyone will see me, had I slapped the pervert... and that would hold my case...

Not a very good explanation if you asked me, but I guess the pervert would be embarrassed enough not to commit the act again, afraid of someone who may take action against him...

But in my case, hitting that bloody pervert wasn't an option, as there was a person in between that slimeball and I... GRRR....

Well, what I personally advise is, if you can't reach the pervert to give him a slap...scream, shout, do whatever... get the attention of the public that some pervert is feeling you up.. I mean, say things like "Hey Pervert, Get your hands dirty off my derrière"

And well, if the bloody pervert is near enough for you to give him a slap or even better yet, to reduce surface area, so that you don't have to touch the slimball too much.. give that stinking slimeball a punch.

But before you do so, please ensure that you have no previous records/anyone that can testify that you are randomly violent by nature (i.e. you don't simply hit the streets whacking people).

That way if he turns around and charges you for assault instead, you can just follow his lead and plead not guilty, though his claim will most probably be not valid, because you made a claim first that he was molesting you (which is a criminal offence) and if I recall correctly there are some principles/maxims in Criminal law:

• A right cannot arise from a wrong.
• No one shall take advantage of his own wrong
• No man ought to derive any benefit of his own wrong

So there you go... Ball your fists, and...... HIT THE pervert WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT!!!! At least if he doesn't get convicted, you had your revenge.....

Inter Halls Badminton

As you can see above, that's me playing badminton. I represented my hall in the Inter Halls Badminton Competition. I just can't keep my ass away. Ha ha ha!!! My hand is itchy. I just need to play some. It's been a long time since I have played competitively. But it's not that long that I have played badminton. I can say I play more regularly than I do back in Malaysia. Here I play every Tuesday and Friday. And sometimes if I feel like it I'll even play on Sunday.

It is mixed doubles only, and the format is round robin. Which is you play a certain amount of games, in this case that's 6 and you see where you're standing on the table. Then the top for will advance to the semi-finals. Supposedly, each pair is only to play 1 game, or maybe 2 games at most. But for me, out of the 8 games that my hall were involved in, I played 4 games. Why? I was considered the best player in the hall. ~savouring the moment~ Can you believe it? The best player?

So my record was 2 wins and 2 losses in the entire competition, and my hall came in third overall. I could have actually got probably second if I could have gotten a better partner. Well, I can't complain much. The halls are actually short on talent anyways. So nothing much can be done. If Yen Ling were here, I think first is not a problem. But too bad.

They will have this Inter Halls Swimming Competition coming up though. As the ever competitive Ben, I'm definitely going to join that although I do not know how they are going to do it. This will mean I will have to start swimming again. It's been a couple of months that I have not swim. I'll need weeks to get back to the way I was swimming before, and I'll need more time to be swimming competitively without any coaching. This is going to be a hell of a few weeks.
