Somali pirates to be handed over to our police (news headline)

Dear fellow bloggers: Have you read today's papers? It seems that our BN-led govt. is so humanitarian to accord Somali pirates a wonderful "5-star hotel" stay on our shores, courtesy of the M'sian police and prisons' authority. I can understand the terrible conditions in Somalia, where in M'sia conditions are much, much better here. I guess they will be so thankful to be in M'sian prisons that our prisons will be like hotels to them, compared to their own war-torn country. So, fellow tax-payers, our money is feeding such scums as these pirates... spending their time in our prisons... Any comments

Malaysia: Its OK to negotiate with Terrorist / Pirates?

Malaysia is probably a good victim for terrorist and pirates since we actually bow to terrorist and pirate demands. The recent news of USD 4 million being paid out to release 2 Malaysian confirms that. God knows the ransom monies obtain could be used to purchase more guns and vessels for future hijacks and probably killing of more innocent civilian lives. I wonder if Malaysia's recent action contributes to more violence in Somalia. On the other end, the lives of Malaysian are saved.

What should have been done? To pay or not to pay the ransom? Your 2 cents.
