In an immediate response, Bar Council Chairman Yeo Yang Poh said this is "absolutely shocking and despicable". It confirms, he said, what Malaysians have heard and believed all this while about the inhumane and degrading treatment of persons in custody. He asked, "does anyone really believe that this is just an isolated incident?" If that is the case, he said, then the many horror stories that have from time to time been told must be nothing more than pure lies made up by numerous persons of different persuasions at different places and different times, who although being strangers to one another have somehow conspired to lie in a similar pattern. He added that this must become a final wake-up call to the police and the authorities. Please wake up, he urged the police, from the sleepy state of repeated denials, and bravely acknowledge that there is a big problem that is a result of decades of neglect and gradual decay. Do not downplay the magnitude of the problem, he said. It is time for the Malaysian public to show its outrage. The Bar Council has repeatedly urged the authorities to conduct thorough, independent, transparent and accountable inquiries into incidents such as this one. Our calls have gone largely unheeded in the past. This time, he said, it must be heeded before it is too late. The clip showed a naked woman doing ear squats 10 times in front of a policewoman in what looked like a locker room of a police station. The unidentified detainee was shown later putting on her underwear and a black top. Comments (4)

After viewing the video, the only word that ever thinked was "inhumanity" - could you imagine, how can a policewoman do that thing to her fellow gender?? Even if the girl is really guilt of the offence, is there no other polite way in equal?? So now, how can police force expect public to respect them if they never respect the public!! Write comment

Circular No 115/2013: Seminar on Enforcement of Judgment (4 June 2013)
This is absolutely outrageous, and a conduct which is so opprobrious that it makes every right-thinking and law-abiding Malaysian feel sick to his stomach.
How could the policewoman even have allowed the poor woman to strip before her in a room without any window curtains and if there is any, without even bothering to draw the curtains. I wonder whether this was deliberately done so that her male colleagues could get to enjoy the "view" and to video the "session".
These are unanswered questions and it is one of the seldom reported cases which the police must now investigate thoroughly (now that it has been exposed as it is unlikely that the clip has been adulterated) as surely the entire nation now demands an answer to it from the authorities.
