kaytee notes:
Why arrest the owner of the restaurant or his Bangladeshi worker? Has the crime been of monumental threat to Malaysian society?
Why not counsel the ignorant Bangladeshi as well as advise the owner of the possibility of such administrative errors? WTF, it's not even a Hindu or Datuk Kong shrine issue.
Police in Langkawi obviously has eff-all to do.
That is Malaysia for you - a big f**king piece of s**t
ReplyDeleteFine them as a deterrence. There is no place for belligerent behaviour under the guise of ignorance.
ReplyDeleteJail repeat offenders.
It was an honest mistake. No malice intended. Show Islamic forgiveness.
ReplyDeleteI went to the West and saw Islam, but no Muslims; I got back to the East and saw Muslims, but not Islam.
Muhammad Abduh
Try flying the CCP flag upside down in CCP-land and see what happens to you.
ReplyDeleteThen again, I believe this was an honest mistake, no malice intended, and police shouldn't behave like Malusia is CCP-land, not yet anyway.
Wrong comparison, old moneyed mfer!
DeleteSee what would happen to u if u r flying a bolihland flag upside down in kampung baru kl lah!
U would be lucky that anyone can still recognize yr slanted eye feature for mortuary identification.
Using anatomical features for forensic identification is so yesterday, now using DNA...
DeleteDNA results can be falsified. Best is autopsy, hehe ...they will identify TrumpAss Kisser when they find he has no heart (heartless bugger ), no brain ( all brainwashed away by AmeriKKKan demoncrazy ), and no guts. And to clinch it, they will find he indeed had a liver, but full of spiteful bile for CCP, LOL
DeleteOK, my minute for taunting is up. Have a nice day, guys, hehe
