land of stupid comments

Leaders in Malaysia are well known to make stupid, silly, and mostly unproven comments. I rarely, if ever, blog about it because the comments usually makes me cringe so much, I just hope and pray that the international press does not pick up on it. No one wants to be known as a citizen of a country where the ‘leaders’ make absolutely nonsensical comments ; i.e.”Pretty women should not be allowed to work to give opportunity to ugly women to work, as the chances of the pretty ones to get married is higher”.

But today….I nearly choked on my coffee..

‘Chastity belts can thwart rape and incest’

HULU TERENGGANU: Women should wear chastity belts to thwart rape and incest which are rampant nowadays, a well-respected religious figure here suggested.
Datuk Abu Hassan Din Al-Hafiz said chastity belts would protect victims and also help reduce sex crime rate.

“We have even come across a number of unusual sex cases, where even senior citizens and children are not spared. The best way to avert sex perpetrators is to wear protection,” he told his audience at the Maal Hijrah Forum in Kampung Pelandan here last night.
“My intention is not to offend women but to safeguard them from sex maniacs. Probably, this is the best way,” he said.

“Besides, husbands could also feel more secure, if you know what I mean,” he added.

Abu Hassan said the practice of wearing chastity belts could be traced to as recent as the mid-1960s.

Why don’t they enforce chastity belt for men if they are trying to protect the women? If the men are the ones doing the raping,surely it should be the men who wears the chastity belt as an prevention?

AND HUSBANDS COULD FEEL MORE SECURE? If you know what he mean?!?

He said his intention is not to offend women, but by saying that women are cheaters and the only way husbands should trust their wifes is if they hold the key to their chastity belt it is NOT offending? And this is so the chances of a MAD MAN raping a woman can be lowered? Victimize and blame the victim eh?

I think I will be advocating for the practice of equiping all men with chastity belt. So I can feel more secure. If you know what I mean.

Excuse me whilst i go lie down


Disclaimer: No, I don’t think bacon needs a chastity belt.

updated: It makes monsterblog here.

updated 19th Feb: No, he did not apologize, but joke aje.WTF joke aje?It ain’t funny man. I’m glad that the citizens of the little potato I call my country still have enough sense to blast back at him; including my suggestion that maybe men should be required to wear chastity belts instead.

I would really like to see what an actual chastity belt looks like (if it is indeed true that they’ve been used since the 60′s). If you find a photo online or anything, please post. The only chastity belt i can think of is the one from Robin Hood – Men in Tights. Y’know?? The one that’s made of rusting metal with a key hole in the front where Robin Hood is assumedly supposed to do you know what with his key shaped you know what. Please post a pic to let me know that an actual one doesn’t remotely resemble THAT.

You know what would make a good chastity belt? A skin-coloured “strap-on”.

I have actually seen chastity belts before; I believe it was in an exhibition in Muzium Negara!I don#t believe it was used as recent as the 60s, maybe by his wife i don’t know.

I think at this day and time, chastity belts are probably more hi-tech. They come with a remote control.. like the ones you use for your car. So press ‘unlock’ to open the gates.

‘Toot toot’ to ‘unlock’, ‘toot’ once to ‘lock’

LOL. So it does look like Maid Marion’s chastity belt. Except this one has holes for number 1 and 2. That’s hilarious!

Comment by Sen Hon 02.16.07 @ 5:14 pm

Oh, check this out. Chastity Belt for pedophile priests. The Male Chastity Belt

Hilarious!!!

Comment by Sen Hon 02.16.07 @ 5:21 pm

dreybee: i think the remote controlled version is an excellent idea. the toot to lock should be made out of fangs, so it clamps down on unwanted bananas

sen: omg..u are very sick lor…hahaahahahh!And not to mention too free!

I keep thinking of the Mel Brooks movie where Prince John gets Maid Marion up to the castle and sees she is wearing a chastity belt……

” Oh a chastity belt…that’s not good for my……”(You can figure out the rest this is a family friendly blog)

Finally, the media has picked up on the absurdity of some of our political figures and decided to say something (what everyone else is already thinking).

I think Malaysia’s come a long way in a sense that people are becoming less afraid to speak their mind in the media. More power to the people!

Comment by Sen Hon 02.21.07 @ 3:54 am

senhon: that is true – but with power to the people also comes great responsibility.

It is during times like this that I am glad I no longer live there, but yet…

Sigh. All i can say for malaysian political leaders is the fact that they believe all publicity is good publicity – thus all this foot-in-mouth incidents.
