Although you have every right to voice your opinion in this blog of yours, I find it rather baffling that you mention "Racial profiling by police is not merely allowed, it is encouraged." while in the subsequent paragraph you racially profiled the Malay police officers with this line "many of them Malays with very little education is suddenly transformed into powerful person". <br />I am a Malay man writing this comment not to pick a fight or chastise you for your posts but rather as feedback to what i deem as an unnecessary and stereotypical view of the Malay community which is already prevalent in Singapore society. It is enough that on a federal level we are seen as '2nd class' citizens that is not even given access to our own areas in the military camps even while we're in uniform but the continuous perception led by posts such as this that continuously gives credit to profiling my community. <br />I understand that this is an old posts and I hope your views have changed since. Have a good day. <br /><br />Rudy Hakeem<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
