A small article in The Star today seems to be overlooked now that Election fever has officially kicked in.
It is titled: Policewomen ticked off for ‘misbehaviour’
KOTA BARU: Several policewomen were ticked off for colouring their hair unnaturally and being rude to the public.
Police chief Senior Asst Comm I Datuk Abd Rahim Hanafi said he knew of such behaviour through letters and verbal complaints about female officers misbehaving and lacking in communicative skills.
SAC Rahim cited a case where a woman officer was asked to remove her headscarf during undercover duties. Her fellow officers were shocked to see that she had dyed her hair, which is prohibited under police regulations.
Other cases involved a policewoman behaving suspiciously with her boyfriend in a car at a district police barracks. Other complaints were about policewomen being rude, while one complainant said a policewoman had married a man thrice her age.
SAC Rahim said he was also disturbed by the attire, such as tight jeans, worn by some off-duty policewomen.
Anyone else feel like there's something very wrong with these complaints?
Firstly, on the issue of dyed hair - fair enough if it's a disciplinary rule that has been incorporated into the police force's regulations then OK no problems there.
Regarding the policewoman behaving suspiciously... wait read it again, suspiciously! What the!!! How do you define suspiciously???!!!
Then it just gets worse - with the complaint about a policewoman marrying someone thrice her age. Holy crap! So the policewoman who doesn't earn much decides to secure her future by marrying an older dude... what the heck is wrong with that? You don't make complains about that sort of thing anywhere else, so why?
Love is blind, and love knows no bounds, get over it.
Lastly, people who are disturbed by tight jeans worn by off-duty policewomen - I say this to you "You need to get a life."
So just because you're a member of the police force, off duty you must not have any sort of fashion sense (mind you I don't really fancy tight jeans but hey if you like it) nor you should have any freedom to dress up.
You don't see them doing anything about the male counterparts who commits fashion suicide.
What's wrong with these people? Instead of making the lives of the people who commit their lives to serving the public on a measly wage better, some of these close minded people still living in 1969 have the guts to allow such type of news to even reach the newspapers.
