Its indeed saddening to actually be able to stumble upon such a video in my reading of my news feed in facebook. But then again, Domestic Violence isn´t really something "new" in Malaysia. Many married people merely keep silent because.... many of them know that the police in Malaysia don´t really take action, irregardless of how many times the victims or the families of the victims step up and make a report.
I am hoping, as you sit and watch this, and if you are in Malaysia..... that you could be one of the many people who are willing to step up and help if you see someone in trouble. How would you feel if it was your own child facing such situations in the future?
The sadder part is watching and listening them talking about it, and learning how the authorities - although they have passed the Domestic Violence act, is still not taking any action against such matters, especially when the victims or the victim´s families comes up to make a report. I hope, with such survivors speaking up, that the Government of Malaysia will actually take more precaution and monitor such things properly.
