Abuse...by a WOMAN?

A man in Malacca has accused his wife and two sons of beating him up. The man, Sham, was kicked in the groin by his wife and she asked her two teenage sons to beat him up with a hanger after that. He has bruises and marks all over his body to prove it.

This incident, I have to say, is a little shameful. What has become of women these days? Not all women are like this but it is a little scary when we read about things like this. Imagine one day you get married, in your eyes, to the most wonderful person you have ever met. Then, a few years down the road, the girl of your dreams beats you up.

In the article, Sham mentioned that he made a mistake by letting this issue carry on like this with his family. As his children are teenagers, I am presuming it went on for quite a while. I wonder why he did not do anything earlier, before things got this bad.

If I was him, I would have reported this issue after it happened the first time. Abuse is something that should not be tolerated, regardless or race or gender. Some may say it is out of love they do not repot the case, but love does not mean abuse and suffering like what happened to him.

Our country has a set of rules and laws, which include the rights of the people. I think the people are not very aware of it, though I may be wrong here. A person’s safety and physical being can be protected if issues are immediately reported and it is important that this kind of issue gets to the authorities so that issues like this do not repeat itself.
