Criminals laughing their way to prison
I BELIEVE we should keep the death penalty. Of course in any man-made judgment there is bound to be an innocent victim or two being wrongly charged and hanged as seen in the movie Shawshank Redempton. But judges, being very experienced and professional individuals, will not simply pass judgment on the basis of emotions, prejudice, or hearsay. It is always based on “beyond reasonable doubt”.
I would even go further to suggest that acid throwers should be made to taste their own medicine. Once found guilty, the court should get the victim to splash acid on the perpetrator’s face. That is the only effective deterrent, one the perpetrator will remember for a long time and whenever he looks into the mirror.
Malaysia is fast becoming a land where criminals think they can do anything to anybody at any time of the day. Hardcore criminals just laugh their way to prison. They will never learn to be good citizens as crime brings them wealth, the good things in life as well as give them an ego boost.
BTH,
Gombak.
