Discrimination

Its all about discrimination nowadays

The first, hottest topic is about gender discrimination

The Iking Case, bringing out the topic of how s498 Penal Code discriminate women, specifically wifes. Penal Code is a kinda 'old' law in this land, originating from England and India, i can reasonably understand why it consist of such an absurd section. Somehow, old people, whether Western or non-Western people, set the concept of men above women, no matter what women do, they will never and cannot have their position elevated. Take England as an example, the King Henry VIII only knows to blame his queens for not conceiving a son, he totally neglected, or never considered the idea that his daughter can also be a queen, a great ruler of the land, just like Queen Elizabeth I. Instead, he keep on finding reasons and excuses to get rid of his queens and married a younger queen, just to get a son or fulfill his lust, had he ever think that, it might be his problem, for unable to get a son?

Lets look at the non-western countries, the first female king of China, and the only official one, Wu Zhe Tian, she is one of the respected women of mine. But people only accused her for killing her son and husband to be the King, to get the utmost power, but lets look at this from another angle, she was a great ruler, she ruled the country so well that makes the era one of the brightest Dynasty of China. Well, I have to say, to get power, they must do something against the morality. I doubt if any successful politician who never done anything against his own principle or the morality ever existed. What about the male Kings, many of them, not to say was a failure king for failing to safeguard his country but they even used his people's hard-earned money for their own enjoyment and satisfaction. But apparently, most people seems to neglected them, not accusing them but putting harsh accusations on the female king, for using tactics to get power. Not to be a male discriminate here, just stressing the point here, that why can't people just view things equally regardless whether that is a man or women.

And the funny thing here is that, our country has bring this absurd, totally outdated concept here, intending that would do any good to our people, to safeguard the harmony of our society. The society is not static, the society keep changing, people's mindset keep on changing with time, but what about of law, not to say its failure to keep on track with the social change, but now, there are people defending the existence of such absurd law. I doubt if Malaysia can truly reach the very ambitious Vision 2020 with this kind of people, so many of them present in the government board, and having great power.
