Questions on morality? pah..hypocrites

Well said by the representative from the Bar Council!

I for one think that it is absolutely preposterous and ridiculous to press charges for indecent behaviour.I simply cannot comprehend the logic behind the judge's decision to allow the municipal to press charges against the Chinese couple.Their indecent behaviour consists of hugging and kissing.

First and foremost, there is nothing in our religion context that forbids such actions, presuming they are Buddhists..even if they weren't ,it isnt against their religion to do so, unless they were M*****s, which, clearly they aren't, so the rule of NO close proximity (khalwat) doesnt apply to them..So, what is the problem then??

Secondly, there is 2 sides to a coin, same goes for a story.The couple claims that they were only holding hands..i dont know whether thats true.They were then issued a summon!!?!? for indecent behaviour and asked to pay if they did not wish this matter to be pursued further.They did not pay of course, as it does sound rather unreasonable and complained and challenged the matter in court and the rest, as u know, is history.Naturally, the officers involved were suspected of corruption but i dont know wat happened after that.

Thirdly, even if they were hugging and kissing, what is wrong with that? It isn't against the law and even though Asians are supposed to be a modest lot and conservative in terms of thinking, that isnt enough reason to press charges .If hugging n kissing is considered indecent behaviour, what about those ribbon cutting ceremonies where they give a kid a peck on the cheek? how about those who ride motorcycles ? doesn't teh back person hug the front person? How about prize giving ceremonies where the presenter would normally hug the person who receives teh prize or award?Are these considered indecent behaviour?A peck on the cheek or a hug is very common overseas and it is considered basic politenes to do so..Are foreigners subjected to the rule as well?How about married/engaged people?No public display of affection?

also, don't our municipal authorities have better things to do other than accusing people of indecent behaviour? there are so many things about the city that can be done better/improved eg . public toilets, playground facilities, environment landscaping, cleanliness, drains etc. Do we have to waste our public resources(read: taxpayer's money, time, manpower) on these type of matters? nothing better to do than to waste money on bringing such cases to court is it? so many crimes happening yet case is brought to court ages later due to redtape Definitely there are better places to spend public funds on.

To hug or to kiss is a matter of one's own choice and not up to some busybody to determine whether one should do it.A panel set up to monitor indecent behaviour? HAHAHA.that's a good joke.Where do we draw the line? I believe that every sane person would know how to differentiate what is indecent and what is not in public.

when we say we want to be an advanced country, it seems to me that our thinking is going backwards at the same time.
