This is getting more ridiculous every day.
Only just now, I went on yahoo.com and saw, under "latest news", an article about a man getting jailed for 14 years' of jail and caning for a fetish. I'll copy and paste the article here.
A Singaporean man with a fetish for smelling womens' armpits has been sentenced to 14 years in jail and 18 strokes of the cane, legal officials said Friday.
A court employee confirmed the sentence, issued Thursday, against Mohammed Ismail Ariffin, 36.
Ariffin had a fixation for touching or smelling women, particularly their armpits, and was convicted of molesting 23 women, his lawyer Noor Mohamed Marican told AFP.
"He's got this problem. Poor chap," Noor said in a brief interview.
After reading an expert report that said Ariffin was likely to re-offend, Judge James Leong issued a preventive detention order, which means Ariffin will not be eligible for parole, The Straits Times said.
Ariffin, who is mildly retarded, would often attack his victims inside lifts, the report said.
It said Noor argued against a long sentence and in favour of rehabilitation and medical treatment.
But Leong said he found "precious little" in Ariffin's favour, The Straits Times reported.
I can't tell you how disgusted I am, not with the guy and his fetish, but with the people who arrested him and put him in jail with caning. It's amazing how cruel people can be. Also, the word retarded is politically-incorrect, and I wonder who the hell approved the publication of such an "expression".
Sometimes I wonder how I live on, day by day, in this horribly selfish, insensitive, self-centered, ugly society that ostracises anyone they deem "wrong". They don't give these different people any respect.
This is one reason why I wish I were blind, because then I wouldn't have to see all the ugly things that happen in this world.
