Hair in exchange for pain?

Categories: Malaysia

Once again the Malaysian police is in the limelight for the wrong reasons. This follows hot on the heals of strip-search incident. Now it involves the shaving bald of 10 elderly men who were caught playing mahjong during the Chinese New Year. The reason for shaving them bald was based on Section 9a of the Lock Up Rules which stated that a detainee's head can be shaved bald. This incident again created much public uproar and once again showed the inconsistency in the implemetation of rules in Malaysia.

If you remember correctly, Datuk Anuar Ibrahim was never shaved bald even after being detained for many months before his trial. But than again, he 'exchanged' his hair for a black-eye. Maybe these elderly men should be thankful - not only do they get a free hair cut, they are also spared some pain and external injuries!

Malaysia boleh!!
