few weeks ago i covered this court proceeding. a father was charged with three counts of incests with his own daughter. the beast did the henious acts while his wife, the mother, was out to a kenduri or to the clinic.

apparently while all these sexual harrasments happened, the wife was eight months pregnant with their latest child.

the father, being the beast he is, did the most unthinkable and inhumane act by betraying the trusts and love his child has towards him.

after about nine witnesses gave statements, including the victim, the father decided he wanted to confess to the rapes. and so he did.

then the interesting event happened. he was brought up to the court that afternoon for the decision. it was in puan hasbi's court.

puan has just finished sentencing the man to 23 years of prisonment for each of the three counts and 10 stroke of rotan for each offence too and was busy with the details, when the man, i guess, fearing the rotan (it would be 30 rotans altogether), climbed out of the 'kandang' and dashed towards the side door.

i remembered nita from sinar harian shouted at him and i too screamed at him, totally forgotten that the court was still in session and puan was still at her bench, talking to the app.

the convicted rapist struggled to open the side door, which was locked from the inside, before he managed to get out and jumped off the corridor and dash out to the constructions site at the back of the court complex.

all these happened in split seconds, even the court policemen were stunned! then the mad rush out, i managed to bow to the judge, not knowing whether she realised it or not, and made my way to the corridor.

by then, one plainclothed policeman was already shouted 'tangkap', 'tangkap', 'tangkap', instructing the contract workers at the site to apprehend the convited rapist.

all this happened in few minutes and after he was apprehended, he was handed to the policemen.

sometime, i just wonder... why can't we use some sort of electronic device to keep track of these sexual offenders. it still shudderes me whenever people talk about people like ismail kerbau, the nation well known sexual offender.

in the case i mentioned above, the father has past conviction. a molest charge and apparently he moved up one notch to rape. unlike other kind of offences, sexual offences are crime that is so frequently repeated, some even did it right after they were dischared from prison.

some might see the act of putting electronic devices on someone's ankle as inhuman, but how about those victims who has to go through nightmares for the rest of their lives? or the would be victims who doen'st even know what's coming til its too late?

maybe we should start see everything in bigger picture rather than fight for human rights that is not beneficials for people at large, but only serve the purpose of beasts like those rapists.
