I've kept my loudmouth shut for the longest time on this sick subject but the daily headlines are too much to bear.

Just from today's news headlines, January 22, 2004:

"Police trainees held over rape, sodomy of Indon"

"75-year-old held over rape of girl"

"Girl's brother traumatised by sister's rape and murder"

"Hadi: Killers and rapists should be stoned to death"

"10pc of dadah addicts commit rape, say police"

"The Canny Ong Rape/Murder Trial: Exchange of words over why accused was absent from work"

"Abdullah is angered by 10-year-old rape and murder"

"Gang rape: Court dismisses appeal"

"Guilty of raping pupil, 10"

"4 anggota polis ditahan -- Wanita Indonesia mengadu dirogol secara bergilir-gilir"

"Lelaki tua disyaki rogol anak jiran ditahan"

"Abang kepada mangsa rogol dan bunuh diberi rawatan psikiatrik"

"Child rapes spark plans for public whipping, sex register"

"Stop rape, start with the law"

Instead of improving, the situation seems to get worse by the day despite numerous public outrage, media highlights and safety awareness campaigns.

Are Malaysian or Malay men sex-starved, sex-crazed and unable to realistically cope with a restrictive and modest Islamic lifstyle? Is it the foreign workers and immigrants who are responsible for the majority of sex crimes? Is education enough to combat this social sickness? Should we resort to castration? Me thinks public castration on live TV would be even more effective. De-ball and de-penis all the incestous bastards and cowards, the rapists and murderers of children, women and other men on LIVE TV during PRIME AIR TIME!!!

What says you?

I say a society that does not provide a legitimate platform for social intercourse between the sexes invites these social problems. Even university students are not allowed to interact between the sexes: can't sit next to each other in class, can't sit together in the canteen, can't have a coed study group. When people grow up not knowing how to act towards the opposite sex, do you really expect them to behave in a socially acceptable manner? The "socially acceptable manner" was never culturally defined.
