In Malaysia when you rape your own daughter or mother or sister, the courts will sentence you to a jail term of not less the 10 years and not more the 30 years in addition to whipping. The terms rape and incest are also used interchangeably and this confuses everyone. At times families out of shame and reputation (whatever that is!) change the rape charge to consenting sex if the victim is over the age of 16 to save a family member a long jail sentence. Most times the perpetrator is also high on drugs and pleads for leniency. Perhaps a lawyer may be consulted for details.
Why are we talking about rape and incest, which incidentally is very common in the PAS held east coast states of Kelantan and Terengganu wherein the numbers are perhaps on par with as many as their porn-hub viewers and drug users!
Now picture this. A matured guy (read, like you or me!) goes out for a drink with his buddies and has a few rounds of his favourite "poison" at the end of a trying week. Has a great time playing pool or darts, jokes and laughs about good times. Does not pick a fight with anyone and pays his bill and leaves the pub and drives his car, a little intoxicated maybe but steady enough behind the wheel and on his way home and is met with a road-block. Here he is told to take a breatherlizer test and the reading is a wee (that idiot Wee comes to mind!) bit above the permitted limit.
Now remember he has not killed anyone yet neither has he raped his mother nor daughter nor sister but going home to his lovely family but instead he is dragged to the police lock-up to sober-up and the next day (if it is NOT a weekend) to court to be charged for 10 or 20 years jail and a RM150,000 fine, depending on the mood and the political leanings of the presiding judge!
Which idiot can come up with such a stupid law, you may want to ask, no? Which is a bigger menace? Drug users on motor-cycles (aka mat-rempits) or happy adult drunk drivers or rapists who fuck their own family members whilst high on drugs?
Well, only an attention-seeking arse-lick from an irrelevant political party like MCA called Wee Kah Siong can! And in pushing for this law to be implemented, this moron Wee has also up-the-ante of the "boleh settle kah" line, which will in turn create more competition among the greedy and corrupt (if any) within the uniformed forces.

Ya, can’t understand why somethings are a crime & also why sentences are not weighted on their severity across the board.
I’ll point the finger at both sides of the political divide, i.e. Wee & Anthony Loke on propagating the drunk drive laws without sharing detailed statistics for their zeal. It appears to me to be an overkill.
It bloody stinks. It's almost persecution
