Recently, I read an article talking about 'why Malaysian men rape', and the title is called 'she was ripe for thee plucking', this is what rapist think and it's like describing women as an items, which is total discrimination against women.
In this article, A statistic shows that everyday an average of four women are raped and rape cases just like petrol price hike, every years keep on increasing. From 1980 till 2007, the number have been increase tremendously. The following is the chart shows the raped cases happen in different year.
| Years | 1980 | 1994 | 2006 | 2007 |
| No. Of Cases | 138 | 912 | 2431 | 3177 |
66.3% are malay
15.3% by others
10.5% are chinese
7.8% are indian
The number might be more because all these are reported cases, unreported cases are not in count.
Being a Malaysian, I really feel sad to see the number of raped cases happen in my own country. I always wonder, why rapist doesn't want to find prostitute to release their urge. Do you know why?
Base on the research did by Dr Rohana Ariffin after interviews with 90 convicted rapists. Rapist think prostitute are dirty. Pathetic isn't it, like raping is something clean to them.
We really need to find a cure, infact, this is an interesting topic to discuss because to reduce the number, we need to know what and how rapist think, why they committed this unforgiven crime. Is it the purnishment are not hard enough? Do they feel any regret after committed this crime?
In the mean time, all ladies should be more caution not only when you are walking alone or going out with stranger, but also when you are with friends and colleagues. We tend to believe that rapists are someone unknown to the victims but the reality is that most victims were raped by someone they know, a friend, former partner, even a relative. Even those trusted in authority like parents, policemen, religious leaders and community elders have been charged with rape.
Hence, I hope the government of Malaysia will tighten up the law to punish those who committed rape crime and improve the security by installing surveillance camera on dark/quiet area and add more patrol car.
