YOURSAY | ‘Malay girls have pretty smiles but they’re not asking sickos to follow them.’

Rizalman: In M'sia, a woman's smile is an invitation to follow

Odin Tajué: Former defence attache Muhammad Rizalman Ismail, you have shown yourself to be the foulest, most disgusting scum of Malaysian society.

In your pathetic attempt at saving your skin, you have put Malaysian women in very poor light by using your sex-sodden, putrefying brain to fabricate the utterly incredulous notion that, in Malaysia, a woman's smile is an invitation to follow her.

I feel sorry for Malaysian women who are studying or working in New Zealand as well as those in Malaysia.

You have shoved yourself deep into the mass of your excreta you deposited outside Ms Tania Billingsley's home by cooking up lies that only morons such as yourself would believe.

You are completely out of your depth in New Zealand or in any society even a little more advanced than that found in the rat-hole from whence you come.

You being there is like a peasant at a banquet table occupied by royalties. I am using the word ‘peasant' in its figurative sense and not in its literal one.

You are a total insult to Malaysia. You reflect on those who have chosen you for your position. You reflect on those who have protected you, flown you to and fro and to and fro, and expended money paid as taxes by very many decent, hardworking Malaysians.

Doubtless all your fares and travel expenses have been and are paid for with such money. Doubtless all your legal fees have been and are paid for with such money.

You are only a warrant officer II - of the rank and file and not of officer level - and, therefore, would not be earning enough to be able to afford a Queen Counsel's fee.

You, Rizalman, are an excellent example of product of Umno's alleged duplicity, incompetency, thievery, and sundry other malfeasances and malpractices.

Roar For Truth: Rizalman is a disgrace to the army and to Malaysia. Bear your own sin and don't insinuate it is your culture.

Malay girls have pretty smiles but they are not asking sickos to follow them home.

Yap Cs: I don't know what country Rizalman comes from; it's certainly not Bolehland.

We don't follow women home just because they smile at us; nor do we go and defecate in front of other people's home.

Vent: You learn something new every day, don’t you? Even the social anthropologists haven’t got to this one.

Just think of all the opportunities full-blooded Malaysian men missed by not following women home.

Anonymous_1421806811: What Rizal said about a woman's smile is an indication of invitation is an insult to all right-minded Malaysians. I hope he gets what he really deserves.

Worried Sick: If the honourable court in New Zealand can believe this sex maniac's evidence, then I know that my cow can jump over the moon.

Anyway, what an insult to Malaysian men - that we will follow a woman if she smiles at us.

My female colleagues smile at me every day when we say 'good morning!' So, I should be following them home, take off my pants and enter their rooms?

What a moron to have brought so much shame to the country. I do hope that the court will impose the maximum penalty possible on him.

Saya Pun Nak Cari Makan: Rizalman, you are indeed a wrong choice to be a diplomat. Instead of selling Malaysia as a favoured holiday destination as well as a good place to invest, you are frightening away foreigners.

Who would want to come here if their daughters or wives risk being raped if they unintentionally smile at a Malaysian man.

Your statement is an insult to all Malaysian women as well as men. By the way, is the government paying for your defence?

Versey: Didn't the high commissioner in NZ know that diplomatic immunity from the criminal jurisdiction of the receiving state is supposed to be in relation to acts carried out in the course of their duties?

How unbecoming of you to abuse this privilege to get Rizalman out of NZ, disregarding the distress the victim had to bear.

I wonder how many layers of calf skin that the Malaysia High Commission staff in NZ has to put on when facing diplomats from other non-banana state.

Shame on you to whoever is heading the Foreign Service responsible for the selection and posting of diplomatic service staff to represent the nation in foreign lands.

Didn't you coach your people the custom and culture of the country where your diplomatic staff will be serving? Your ministry is a disgrace to all Malaysians, at home and abroad.

Vijay47: This is the kind of people that Foreign Affairs employs? Indeed, nobody saw this coming.

When things go bad to this degree, it must be a case of some mental illness. We should be glad he didn't walk into Lot 10 with a few hand grenades to sort out smiling women who wouldn’t play ball.

Rosmah Mansor, don't smile at me, please!
