My initial post was obviously done in anger – as foul-mouthed as I am in real I tend to keep sourrain.com as family friendly as I can, god knows why. I really don’t understand. I really really don’t. As a traveller, this means more to me than the keris brandishing and having separate queues for male and female. It is no one’s business WHAT I do or WHERE I go. So what if I choose to be a drug mule? Surely it is my own idiocy therefore my own downfall and I should bite the bullet and languish in jail?

Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim ,

Malaysia is known for its strict laws against drugs – if those choosing to be drug mules do it in Malaysia, would there be even the slightest iota of concern to rescue them from the gaols??

Drug mules are from all over the world, not only restricted to stupid Malaysian women. Mostly these women (or men) do it for the money and glamour of being a world traveller. And honestly, if you are greedy enough to be a drug mule, then you should be ballsy enough to do the time that comes with it.

Why is the 100 or so females dragging the whole country (and about 10mil women) two centuries back? Or rather, I see that the government is again using something insignificant as an excuse to control its citizens. This time it’s the females of the country.

From nst.com.my:

Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Dr Ng Yen Yen said she would have to study the matter further.

“I will have to speak to him (Rais) and also get feedback from the NGOs,” she said.

Dr Ng added that from a personal viewpoint, she agreed that it was an infringement on women’s rights, but added that there were always two sides to a coin and one needed to look at the bigger picture.

WHAT?? Two sides of the story??This is not the time to sit on the fence. Surely as the figurehead Minister of Women she should realize that this infringes all the rights that women around the world have strived to achieve in the past century? Does she not realize that she would be unable to travel to even Singapore without her PARENTS or the bloody Prime Minister (her boss) signing an approval letter and certifying that she is there to shop?

What is the bigger picture? I really wish she would elaborate at what picture is she looking at, because we sure ain’t looking at the same one, and the view from our end ain’t pretty at all. In fact it is pretty much chains and shackles.

MIC Puteri chief Usha Nanthini said the proposal was too vague, adding that there was a need for finer details and practicality to be looked into.

She said, however, that the proposal was generally good as it took into account the safety of Malaysian women.

And this brainless TwaT.GENERALLY GOOD????I guess if you REALLY want the women of Malaysia to be safe then it is just easier to cage them up, and release them just for reproductive purposes. And whilst you are there, why not do some snipping down below just so that they don’t enjoy sex as well?

I have never said this before, but if this does by some crazy reason (I don’t actually think it will happen) get passed as the law, I will actually go back on my words and tear my Malaysian passport into half. There is no point being the citizen of a country that believes that women should be treated like dogs, quarantined until proven innocent.

I am so angry I can’t sleep!!!!!!! F**king hell…

A very good take here by the daughter of Malaysia’s former premier and an accomplished journalist amongst other things.
