Oh you think that aminulrasyid case was horrific? Tak dengar lagi cerita 3 teens gunned down in cold blood, and the attempts to cover it up?
We're paying twice - to fund the cops, and to pay for damages.

"After almost 11 years, the families of the victims of the Glenmarie shooting finally receive a modicum of justice for the.. loss that they had to endure due to the actions of the police.."

TW: Murder

The post-mortem report revealed that the police shot them at close range.

“The report also indicates that Shamil was shot on the forehead at a 45-degree angle. That can only happen if the boy was kneeling when he was gunned down," he said.

Yes, there is good reason to be wary of overreach.
I think I still my draft notes from putting together the 2010 SUARAM Human Rights Report. Boleh saja tengok berapa banyak kes abuse of power by cops and other enforcement agencies, as well as deaths in custody.
Sebab tu la aku geli sikit tengok some HCPs talk out of their ass.

Naive, clueless atau wilfully ignorant?
Not my intent to sensationalise police violence, tapi lepas tengok how "data & science" peeps resorted to maudlin sentimentality & religious appeals in what is a clear cut public health issue, aku pun bengang lah.
To be honest, handling these cases has traumatised me a bit. I wasn't the first point of contact with victims' families, but I was aware of this stuff back then.

I kinda wish that CSOs who deal with traumatised populations would spend on PFA and mental health support for staff.
Mental health support wasn't a thing back then, but it is now, and I think CSOs should be more progressive and open to ideas of a mentally healthy workplace.

2010 was the year I broke down and finally had to see a psy doc. It wasn't fun. Still isn't.
Also, #IPCMCNow
To add, as rightfully pointed out by @chillasaurusx, we actually paid thrice.
1. We pay for the cops to do "their jobs"
2. We end up paying for damages in the court case
3. We pay with the loss of life and future potential
Quite sure this wasn't an easy story to write, right @sadhosays ?
This is still going eh?

Help a brother out? Talk to your MP about amending Akta OKU, because OKU need legal recognition as equals.

I can understand that some of the "Saya seorang DOKTOR" group are disappointed with the delay of the GEG legislation, and I can understand why.

I too, have been disappointed & frustrated by delays in progressive legal reform (S 309 Penal Code, Akta OKU et al).

But..
..please don't take this as a rejection of the GEG. A lot of people want this, including me.

But we need to make sure that any legislation cannot be abuse, not because of some imaginary threat, but because our enforcement agencies have a HISTORY of abusing laws & the vulnerable.
Maybe take some time to reflect and understand some of the criticism? Maybe it will help you become better advocates and allies? Learn to be less antagonistic and dismissive?

Regressive laws, distinct lack of accessible support (and only getting worse), inadequate social protections, and shitty built environs.

Sometimes aku rasa memang masyarakat tak peduli pasal mental health & suicidal behaviour.

Mungkin bising kejap, tapi sebenarnya tak peduli.
Mungkin the areas yang boleh co-opt untuk buat duit, ada lah nampak interest.

But on substantive issues like client autonomy, protection from discrimination & state violence, & rights-based access to social security.. mana?
The sanitised, rainbows & sunshine parts of mental health advocacy and adjacent issues ramai la kerumun.

What about involuntary admission and client safety issues? Access to justice? Access to means of a dignified life?

To add, sometimes I get scared when I notice that I am speaking quickly, because an indicator of hypo/mania is pressured or rapid speech.

Or if I strike up a conversation with a stranger, because an "expansive mood" is also an indicator.

Being vigilant is tiring.
Quite a few people don't understand how hard I work to keep my illness manageable.
That's why I appreciate therapy.

It helps me learn what an "appropriate and reasonable" amount of worry and concern is.

Actually, it helps me learn to be appropriate and reasonable full stop.

But it's not easy lah.

Tetiba teringat when MUDA's account was talking about giving cops more funding.

I wonder if they knew about Aminulrasyid and the other cases of wrongful death and outright murder?
Tak payah Aminulrasyid.

Baca pasal Pastor Koh and other disappeared persons, and see kalau still nak increase funding.

Aku kerja human rights NGO dah agak lama, banyak jugak come across wrongful detention & wrongful deaths in detention.

Rasanya tak perlu dismissive of legitimate concerns about legal overreach just because you're naive about how ugly our society can be.
My human rights experience is also partly why I'm on the KKM Bipolar Disorder CPG Review Committee.

Boleh baca my thoughts and concerns on how this debate has been handled thus far in this thread.

@dziehan80

Tak payah cerita planet Marikh bagai. There are recorded cases of cops being responsible for extra judicial killings of minors.

Aku taknak fear mongering or appeal to sentimentality, but bad things can happen when kids are scared and cops overreach.
