Malaysian Perverts, how to deal with them

This is the "Clean" i.e. (censored version) & somewhat scaled down version of this post (meaning no foul language in this one.. Unless you count derrière as a cuss word?)... for the original full cussing version, head --> here


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.

New encounter

You know what, living in the halls (halls is short for halls of residence, which is where I'm staying) I expect to meet all kinds of people from different background. And that is what I got. And I have never expected to meet some of the people that I have actually met.

Prior to this, I thought Yen Ling and I were stingy. To my surprise, I meet someone who is worst than the both of us. He was one of the people within the group that I share groceries with. So usually when we cook, it'll be for a group of 5 and the groceries will be shared 5 ways. So the math was simple - take the total amount and divide by 5. Guess what he did? He actually audited my calculation and went through all the stuff we bought to make sure it is there. I mean can you believe that? He actually went though the receipt, to see which is which. Comparing the receipt to the stuff in the fridge.

Another thing he did that annoys me was that he is the anti-social type. We once invited him to go have dinner at this Monash Pizza and Pasta shop. And you know what was his reply? "Don't want la, I got something to do." I was like "What the heck?" I'm a second year student, and I'm not as busy as he is. Plus, he's in his first year and taking the same unit as I am. And I wasn't as busy as he is. Heck, I could even go for a movie every weekend if I could afford it then.

I'm not saying that he has to go out for a movie every weekend. What I'm trying to point out is that he has to try to relax a little. He has to be a little bit more outgoing. I'm not sure he even plays any sports. The only time I see him is when we go for grocery shopping and meal time. Apart from that, he just lock himself in his room doing god knows what. The funniest thing I find about him during this Easter break is that he has been telling us that he has to do his assignment since the beginning of the holiday, and until now he has yet to complete it. What the hell is he doing in his room then? It took me only 3 days to finish that assignment. haih...

Enough about that. I am just so frustrated these few days and I just want to let off steam. Another thing that I realize is most of my new friends here which are malaysian by the way have help from their parents with their packing and luggage. Some even have their parents followed them over. Me? My parents never touched my breifcase, did not help with packing, and definitely did not follow me over to settle in. That was my wish. So does that make me wierd?

I mean for them, their parents played some part in their moving abroad to study. Me? The only part my parents played was giving me frustration and paying the bills. I'm just like any other ordinary kid, trying to go through university to get a certificate so that I could get a reasonable job. But why am I so different from them in so many ways?

Magdalene's Wedding....

Finally!! The last post for the Lim Family's September 2007 Australian Saga... Posting this on two sites is kind of tiring, (since i had to sort, and edit both posts to fit both blogs, or sentences might have been left hanging etc...)

Although i'm only loading the pictures once, but my connection uploads really, really slow, or i think it's blogger's fault, because even last time (when i was in the UK) when i had to post pictures, it takes eons to load.. so that's it for the Australian trip, and maybe later i will post somthing here bout my tour guide stint for my brother's girlfriend in December.. but that is another story...

As usual, if i post my Malaysian Tour Guide stint, Generation Lim will get a cut down summarised version as compared to my original blog... So, it's something for everyone to look forward too.. (or not....)

But i digress, and now time for the commentary & pictures...

The night before the wedding, saw us being invited to a brewery called the Mash brewery for a round of drinks & snacks sponsored by the bride and groom.. it was a very lively event, as the friends and relatives of the bride and groom sat down together to drink, and chat... (the Snacks weren't bad either..)

It even seemed as if the bride and groom were having a reunion with their friends.. it looked fun, and as for me, i tried different types of brew (beer?).. and discovered there is more to beer than just barley hops, but the combination of many other things.. an interesting event...

The travelling companions (haha, ok part of the Lim Family) all sitting together at a table, enjoying the drink and food... Picture taken by uncle HP, that's why he isn't in it.. :p

The three cousins, with our uncle Robert who decided to join in after seeing us taking some pictures... :p

Unfortunately, i don't really have any pictures of the tea ceremony as PK and the professional photographer were taking the pictures, and from my stand point, it was very hard for me to take the pictures. hence what i have here are the pictures that I took, while waiting for the groom to come over, to begin the tea ceremony....

The golf course spans out behind us.. three cousins, braving the morning's chilly air to take some pictures together...

The bride in her pretty green cheong sam and i... waiting ever so patiently for the groom to come over, for the ceremony to begin...

*****

Later in the morning, after the tea ceremony, all of us bundled into the car, to head to the St. Mary's Catholic Church for the wedding Ceremony, between our cousin Magdalene & Glenn..

The church on the outside, and the father of the bride, waiting for the bride, to walk with her into the church..
The ermm... booklet for the ceremony, stating the bride and groom's names, the date and the church name.. i.e St Mary's church. click to enlarge and read..

After the ceremony, everyone was happily grouping around to celebrate the new happily married couple :p

*****

So much for the church wedding.. Now, on to the Wedding Dinner, which was held in a golf course's (i think, can't remember...) ball room...

it was really romantic, with the chandelier, and all the candles.. it had a quaint feel with all the barrels stocked by the side..


The Lim Family at the wedding dinner..... i should be standing at the back, since i'm kind of tall, and therefore will block people.. but i didn't have time.. as i had to pass my camera to someone to help us take the picture...

A cousin Picture!! Yen ping, Yen Ling, PK and me..

It wasn't a bad night.. though i noticed that compred to Lorena's (my sister's ex-collegue in Prague) that asians are kind of shy to get onto the dance floor to dance, which resulted in me, dragging my cousins out to dance.. (as i m sure Ling and PK will remember :p)

Similiar to the post on us touring Australia, this post is similiar, in the sense that it was cross posted & summarised from Oracl3. So for more pictures and for a (possibly) more amusing commentary, click on the links below, to head over to my blog..

Family Trip to Western Australia 130907-230907

On the 13th of September 2007, i headed of to KLIA to meet with my relatives, as we were all heading to Perth to attend our cousin's (Magdalene's) wedding... and to tour Western Australia...

Upon arrival, we were checked into an apartment on a golf course in swan valley (i think that's what it's called, i've forgotten..), where the wedding will be held, and which will be posted about separately..


this is the picture of our first accomodation, a little house on a golf course.. here we have Yen Ling and i, and well the cars which we used to travel in the whole of Western Australia...

Nothing much happened there, except the wedding, which as i said, will be blogged separately...

so after the wedding, we packed everyone, and everything into the two cars.. and off we went!!

*****
Smell the salt in the air!! As we've finally left Perth to start our touring of Western Australia.....

Our first stop was at freemantle, but i labeled it as our second, although theoretically our first stop was perth....

i wanted to sit ala litte mermaid style like i did in Dublin, but the rock wasn't stable.. and i'm not a very good swimmer haha...

as i love the sea, and the salty smell.. this was a nice welcome.. :)

when i saw this, i was like.. what? S.O.Y means Shit on you?? and it's true.. after i asked some other friends (who were studying in Australia..) but this was taken at a pier that we went to eat.. and well it was seafood.. our first seafood encounter.. i don't think i took pictures of the food, because it was gone as soon as it came.. since everyone was hungry...

Yen ling and i, one wearing black, one white.. haha.. ying and yang? this was taken at a honey farm, which we non golf players went to, to pass some time. we thought the scenery behind us looked nice. so there we are.. :p it was kind of warm at that time, so we didn't need our coats :p

*****

Our second stop... brought us close to nature, as we stayed in a cabin located in a forest reserve (we even had a barbeque at the cabin, but as i was too busy helping out, i didn't manage to take pictures... sigh..), and we went to a neighbouring forest reserve (yes, yet another forest, we were surrounded with it..) for the all famous tree top walk...

Unfortunately for us, it was raining before that, and as we all know, when it rains, it's cold... thus we were all bundled in wind proof jackets and we headed up onto the platform, to walk above the ground...

Here we have all the ladies, there is aunt Cindy, me, aunt Alice, yen ping, dai yi, and yen ling...

this was what we walked on... it was really stable and shook ever so slightly with the strongest winds.. here we have yen ping and i.. well we all know that my hands always freeze easily, hence my gloves :p i love my Zara coat :p (my sister bought it for me when i was in Prague, she has a matching coat!! :p )

Once we got off the walk, there is a little trail on the ground which we could walk.. to look at some of the magnificent trees from the ground..

*****

The next reserve we went to, was home to a tree called the Gloucester tree, where there is a tree about 7 storeys high, i think.. and which was used as a look out during olden times for forest fires.. unfortunately i fear heights.. and the steps.. more like a ladder? it wasn't really a ladder, basically it was just thin little steel bars of about 1.5 cm in daimetere, embedded in the tree to form your steps all the way up...

The sign.. click to enlarge and read more.. the pictures of us climbing up the tree is with uncle robert... which i don't have yet... eventhough it's already half a year since our trip (time sure flies..)...

but on the ground we had some fun feeding all the colourful parakeets.. they were so cute and tame, and their claws were really sharp....

***

Im not very sure about this stop, but at some point we did stop at a place called The Gap, a place named after a huge gap between some rocks where the sea water splashes up...


the angle of sun and the burst of waves allowed for this shot to be taken, a beautiful rainbow.. the gap is actually dangerous, and people who are light weighted should not enter alone, or the strong wind could very well blow you into the water, and you may drown...

intially we had difficulties passing through to get to the viewing deck, because water kept splashing down on us like bullets, it hurt, and the wind was harsh... but it was fun, as we screamed and ran from the water haha.. it was freaking cold too...

a family picture of us at the viewing deck of the gap.. well it's kind of hard to say who is who, and some have been blocked.. so i digress haha..

with the angle of the sun, the water catching the brilliance of the light just at the right angle, it was really beautiful...

***
At our next stop, we stayed 2 nights at a nearby farmhouse, owned by a couple who runs this little kangaroo sanctuary for orphaned joeys.. and it's sort of like an attraction for tourists.. this was on the day we were leaving the farmhouse for our next destination...

Little joey drinking from a bottle of milk... :p

a little joey.. so cute..

***

Our next stop was at Cape Leeuwin.. a light house.. a beacon of light for those who thread the seas....


The information of the light house that we saw.. this was my first time seeing a proper light house up close.. though i would have liked to climb up and take a look too...

Up close with the light house, where two oceans meet.. where the indian ocean... and southern ocean meet...

After enjoying the breeze, and the scenery it was again, time to hit the roads, for out next stop...

***

Cliff Spackman - Jewel Cave...

The picture above explains the cave we went to..

after descending a flight of stone steps, one is greeted by this...

Like a big monster's mouth welcoming you to enter its stomach.. haha.. but pretty nevertheless..

The light which illuminated the caves, as can be seen gives it a glorious effect.. it's beautiful... in some ways i was comparing it to the ice cave in the alps.. but they both have their beauty.. and this was breathtaking.. though at some point it felt kind of errie.. haha..

***
at our next place there didn't seem to be much to do there, so uncle HP took the girls out for a boat ride...

Here i am trying my hand at the wheel.. it was really fun, but if you aren't careful you could make everyone seasick haha Yen ling, yen ping and i, all had a try at it.. spinning the wheel left than right to make the boat go straight... Captain Jack Sparrow?? Raawwrrr... :p


The view behind me, of the lake.. behind me is sort of like a little jetty, there is an island in the middle of the lake, with houses which cost a bomb, but are very secure, only rich people can afford a house on that island, they don't even have any shops there, and the residents of the island, have to frequently take this boat across the water just to go to work, or get their groceries.. expensive, and troublesome if you asked me.. though in some ways i guess it's nice, because the island was like a natural reserve, with loads of greenery...

***

I can't remember where this was, (i think it's near our accomodation..) but we stopped to snap some shots, and i caught a nice one with the sunset :p

***

I recall that on our last day, we headed out to Bussleton Jetty... it had a lovely view, and i love the smell of salt in the air...

The sign... i actually had quite a nice shot of yen ling and i standing on either side, but i don't know where i put it, or why didn't i pick it for the blog.. but no matter.. guess i was too lazy to upload so many pictures to start with... :p

The aforementioned Jetty behind me, apparently it has an underwater viewing station, to view the marine life.. but i recall it being closed or something.. so we had no choice; we went into their souvenier shop, snapped some pictures and we left to continue our journey..

***

On our way to sydney, we stopped by a park..looks interesting, doesn't it?

it was like a tiny island on a body of water, a lovely sight indeed :) there were children playing, and there were even dogs too.. a nice place to chill..

***

Our last stop before entering the city of Sydney, was a garden located just slightly on the outskirts of the city... This garden seemed more like a jogging path though... As it had paths winding round for you to walk...

The Picture says it all



Aunt Cindy, Dai yi, Yen Ping, Yen Ling, Me, & Uncle Robert

Taking a picture together, Uncle HP was the one taking this picture, while Aunt Alice.. well, let's just don't go there haha...

***

After a little walk at the garden, we all hopped into our cars and headed to Sydney for dinner...

Our last meal in Australia. Seafood yet again.. i must say Australia does have some really good FRESH seafood :p
Picture taken by Yen Ping. We have from left, Aunt Cindy, Uncle Robert, Dai Yi, from right, Me, Yen Ling, Aunt Alice, & Uncle HP

After that we headed off to.... where did we head off too.. damn my memory fails me.. i think our flight was after that? (Ling help me refresh my memory..) So we went to the airport, returned the cars, checked in, and you know normal airport stuff..

while waiting for our flight, we decided to play around :p Cute no? hehe
Here we have Yen Ping and I

And after that it was our flight home, a grueling 7 hour or was it that long? maybe longer, flight for me, who was kind of tired of flights, as before that i was travelling extensively around europe...

I almost declined this trip to Australia as i was tired of travelling, but i'm glad i didn't, i had my fun there :)

best of all i enjoyed all the seafood we had there.. but it's all very high in cholestoral.. thank goodness i'm still young and healthy :p

-Oracl3-

This trip has also been cross posted on Oracl3.. with more pictures, and with a more elaborate commentary.. (and also a lot of grammatical and spelling errors, because i didn't edit it before posting, and i posted them all at some ungodly hour, thus was tired and sleepy...) there is also a post dedicated to the food, we ate while on our journey..

Though the pictures here and there will be the same, (as i was lazy...) as Oracl3 is my blog, so most of the pictures are of me.. and i still haven't acquired the other pictures from my other relatives... hence the lack of pictures as well..

though when i sorted them through to be posted, i only had my blog in mind and not this.. hence the seemingly narccisstic side of me haha.. but oh well. for more pictures, and a longer commentary, help yourselves to the links below...

By the way most of the group pictures were taken by uncle robert (i think) so i still don't have the pictures from him, hence the lack of group pictures... or i would have liked to post more since this is a family blog after all.... if i ever get my hands on it, and if the slide show goes up, i will post it there..

Be warned

I've finally gotten around (more like remembered...) to sorting the australian pictures, and have started to blog about them on my blog --> Oracl3

I'll be cross posting here, a cut down, edited version of what i'm posting on my blog... but as we went to australia for 10 days and not to mention we went to a lot of places.. so be warned that my next post on GL, if it's the Australian post; will be long, and there will be quite a number of pictures. so if your bandwith is a money sucker.. i'm sorry, live with it.. haha..

Also as the travels itself was so damn bloody long. Our cousin, Magdalene's wedding, will be in a separate post...when and if i get down to it, that is..

most of the pictures that will be shown on my australian post unfortunately, will be similiar to the one on oracle, except oracle will have more pictures... reason being, my bandwith sucks, and i'm too lazy to upload to both sides, when i can jsut upload to one, and just cut and paste the html...

so yeah, i'm lazy... (how many times have i said that =.=')

Well, that's all for now.. i was considering separating the australian post to two for this blog.. considering its absurd length, but yes.. yet again.. i'm lazy.. haha

so happy easter everyone.. and await the australian trip :p
