Draft 6
Dear Prime Minister Singh,
Disappointment in how the police
mishandled the rape incident
I am writing to you to express my
disappointment towards 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 aghast with how the police in India handled this
case.
I strongly 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 instance, 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 only makes females in India inferior. Women play an important role in
the society. Without women, who is going to cook, clean, and take care of the children? Who is going to bear the
pain when giving birth? I suggest that you can actually implement laws
that are fair to all and not biased in favor of the males.
Furthermore, I
feel that stricter laws should be enforced to decrease the number of crimes in your
country. I also feel that rapist should be severely punished so as to serve as
a warning to the public that raping is a serious offence, at the same time
decreasing the number of rape cases. I suggest that you can actually implement
severe punishment such as life imprisonment, chemical castration and death
penalty. I believe such punishment could stop rape from happening in future,
allowing your female citizen to live in peace and not living in tenterhooks.
Lastly, I hope
that you will looked into these problems and make improvement to the judicial
system in India. I also hope that in the near future, both males 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. I strongly believe that you are a good
prime minister and you will not allow such crimes to be committed in your
country. Likewise, I trust that you will definitely make great changes to your
country, bringing India to a greater height. I looked forward to see changes in
the life of women in India.
Yours sincerely,
Ng Lay Hoon
