If the 'wrong-doing' is about the place of a Chinese Temple a whore house, then i concur with the Chief CID he should not close his eyes of accusing the STate Government of immorality! If only the Chinese temple is a taboo place for the Malay, the honourable Chief should come down from his high chair and spot check on his boys they are patronizing the Chinese temples daily for 'protection fees' from the many underground gambling dens in the outskirt villages, in the Chinese temples of Penang!
