Snoop Squads!

Do we need a snoop squad in Malaysia? Where is our right to privacy as has been enshrined in our beloved Federal Constitution?

Now, allow me to answer the former question. My answer is in the negative. No, we do not need a snoop squad in Malaysia. Now, le me first define the term "snoop" in my context. Snoop in this case means looking at other people's private business. Examples of such act includes going to the toilet, sleeping in the bedroom. Basically, when the word "snoop" appears hereinafter, it simply means minding, buzy-bodying, knowing, and/or tom-peeping other people's private business.

Now, if we were to set-up a snoop squad in public areas, then it is fine: at least, everyone on this planet earth will know that they are being watched. But, why do we need to mind other people's private business? Such as wanting to know whether the person is gay or not, or whether the person on virgin or not etc?

Well, is it YOUR problem that your friend is having an affair with someone else? Is it YOUR problem that your friend if gay? Is it YOUR problem that your friend have a small dick? No, it definitely IS NOT your damn problem, you silly ass!

Knowing about other people's private business is certainly not prescribed in any of major and leading religious teaching. For example, Islam prohibits snooping around and intentionally sticking nose in other people's ass. But if you happen to see something that is perceived to be bad unknowingly and unintentionally, then you have a moral obligation and duty to report it to higher authority. Exampes of these includes witnessing a murder, or tormenting and abusing a child.

You see, some people who is often perceive as religious (and not to mention those who work in religious departments - whether at state or federal level) like to mind other people's private business. These people will go around and snoop for those who are in close proximity (khalwat) with another person of another gender. I mean, do we really need to do that? It doesn't matter what these people are doing, in the end, truth will unveil itself and they will be accounted for their own stupid action. So, there is no need to establish any sort of "moral police" or "moral snoop squad" when it comes to people's private business.

However, there is a need to establish a squad that is watching activities which could amounts to national threat or which could threat a community of particular society. Like Neighboourhood Watch, for instance...
