“encik mau saya bogel kah?”
When our Deputy Internal Security Minister Noh Omar today came out in strong defence of the police, read at The NST, 5:45pm
“I dare say everything was done following the rules,” he said in response to the public outcry over a video-clip which shows a Chinese woman (confirmed Malay woman) made to perform squats in the nude in a police lock-up. “There are lock-up rules and Standing Orders and I will answer this in detail in Parliament tomorrow. I will quote under what section and what rules this is allowed,” he said in the lobby of Parliament House. [...]
Asked to comment on today’s reports which quoted lawyers as saying that strip searches and body cavity searches were illegal under the Lock-up Rules 1953 and the Criminal Procedure Code, he said: “We say we follow the rules and the lawyers say we don’t.
“If the law does not provide for it, ask the lawyers to sue the Government and summon the police.
I think we need to practice this when we stop by police in future Hmmmm….standard procedure. Next time when the Police stop you for a traffic offence, the first thing we should ask is, “encik mau saya tanggal baju kah?” Maybe more precise, “encik mau saya bogel kah?”
