Dear Prime Minister Singh,
Disappointment in how the police
mishandled the rape incident
I am writing to you regarding the
mishandling of the recent rape case that happened in New Delhi. It has sparked
nationwide protests. At the same time, many people including myself are very
disappointed with how the police in India handled this case.
I feel that the police in India do not
have any sense of urgency. For example, the recent gang rape in New Delhi had
showed us that police in India handled exigent cases in a sluggish way. It was
reported on the news that a friend of the rape victim who had witnessed the
cruel tragedy told the reporter, they were both seriously injured, but no one
attended to them. Not even the police officer. He also added that the police
delayed the time by arguing over who had the jurisdiction instead of sending
the naked and bloodied couple to the hospital.
Moreover, I am
very disappointed with how women are treated in India. Women are not equally
treated as man. For example, women are banned from using hand phones, wear
jeans, shorts and even t-shirts. It was said to prevent love affairs, elopement
and rape cases. However, both love affairs and elopement involve both genders,
but why are the males not banned for any of the above? In fact, by introducing
such laws will only make females in India inferior. I suggest that you can
actually implement laws that are fair to all and not biased in favour of the
males.
Furthermore, I
feel that stricter laws could be enforce to decrease the number of crime in your
country. I also feel that rapist should be severely punishment so as to
decrease the number of rape cases. I suggest that you can actually implement
severe punishment such as life imprisonment, chemical castration and death penalty.
Lastly, I hope
that you will looked into these problems and make improvement to the judicial
system in India. I also hope that in future, both male and females will be
treated equally. In addition, I hope that you can raise awareness of the public
and educate females on how to protect themselves so as to prevent them from
becoming the next rape victim.
Yours sincerely,
Ng Lay Hoon
