Canny Ong
I noticed with utter disgust the way the press handled Canny Ong's rapist's judgement day yesterday.
His picture was displayed in the front page of THE STAR, and with a whole page dedicated about his profile. Who cares if he has two kids? Who cares if he behaved well at his work place? Who cares if he has a loving wife? Who cares? Seriously...
The whole episode was as if he was sentenced for something he didn't commit when in the first place, he confessed on doing such a henieous crime.
"I take it as a test of patience" Those were his sentences. Test of patience, my foot! You are a rapist cum murderer. This is what you get for your doings. This is no test of patience, u bastard. You are a bloody cold-hearted being. You dont need a test of patience. You dont even have a heart in the first place. In fact, i feel your so called "test" of patience is too light for the extent of your crime.
And i also read with aghast on what his friends and collegues have said about him. "He was such a nice person". In that case, Botak Chin was "such a nice person", Kalimuthu was "such a nice person",and the Malay lady(witch-doctor) who mutiliated a "Datuk" eons back (i forgot her name)was such a nice person too..shall we free and worship them?
Seriously..what is happening to their senses? Utter fools..I wonder, if someone close to you was kidnapped, raped, murdered, the corpse burnt and left to rot, would you still say the same about the person who did it even though he WAS "such a nice person" before?
The whole drama was as if Canny asked for it and the rapist was just an innocent little baby who didnt know what he was doing. If this is the way the press is going to handle rape cases, portraying the rapist as an innocent hero who's going to be hanged for a wrong crime, then im pretty sure there are many more new offenders who would come up and if the next victim is their (the friends and the press members)loved one, let's see what they have to say then..
I pray..May Canny rest in peace and hope her family have a speedy recovery..
