A piece on the front page of BBC's online news caught my eye. Malaysia is once again in the public eye, and not in the best possible light. Less stern reporting found on The Star, a Malaysian daily. And much debate and discussion on Malaysiakini an alternative Malaysian news website. Wide coverage also posted on another Malaysian blogger, Jeff Ooi.
And much more stories can be found by doing a simple Google News search.
The one who aired it to national and international media Teresa Kok A piece from Malaysiakini on SUARAM a Malaysian human rights organisation.
Basically, if you've not clicked on any of the links, the wonders of modern technology shows a grainy video of a fair-skinned woman naked after a strip search and forced to do squats while holding on to her ears. She is being watched by an officer who is wearing a head-scarf (tudung).
The Inspector General of Police has commented that it is normal for those who are detained to be asked to strip and do ear squats for drug offences. Let's not even get started on the human rights issues here, for there are many.
More comments later.
