Regarding the Jabatan Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan's (Jawi) recent misadventure in carrying a raid at a discotheque in the Klang Valley, I must say their actions are a manifestation of what the PAS government had threatened to do during their reign in Terengganu.

The difference is that the public seems to be more proactive when it comes to criticising the opposition rather than the ruling party that they have elected. Farish A Noor's article summed up this issue well by stating that Malaysia is turning into a 'Talibanaysia'.

Needless to say, I was also shocked to hear of the proposals by Malaccan municipal councillors to rope in peeping Toms to enforce moral behaviour.

My dear fellow Malaysians, all these actions are clearly against human rights. What has happened to freedom and liberty as espoused in the UN Declaration of Human Rights and in our own Malaysian Constitution?

The action of those overzealous Jawi authorities also reflect their third-class mentality and this mindset is definitely against Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's aspirations for this nation.

If individuals commit a mistake or a sin, then they will pay for it in their own way. This realisation must come from within, not enforced by 'morality enforcement' agents.

The latter were bestowed with power to handle more pressing issues of the day.
