VALLETTA (Malta): The video clip showing a naked woman doing ear squats while watched by another woman in uniform has shamed the country, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
He said the incident had dealt a blow to the country’s image and pledged a thorough investigation into the issue.
No party should attempt to conceal any facts that might be uncovered as a result of the investigations, said a visibly-upset Abdullah, who called Malaysian journalists here to give his comments before rushing off to attend the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting yesterday.
Malaysian newspapers had front-paged the incident after Seputeh MP Teresa Kok showed the video clip at Parliament House on Thursday.
The 70-second video clip, said to have been taken with a cellphone-camera, had been circulated through the multimedia messaging service (MMS) over the past few days.
The video clip has led viewers to link it to the ordeal of four women from China who had alleged they were mistreated and humiliated while in police custody recently.
Abdullah said he had called Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan and instructed him to thoroughly and immediately investigate the matter.
“Stern action must be taken (against those involved). This is important because the incident has caused embarrassment to the police force,” the Prime Minister said.
In Kuala Lumpur, his deputy Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak also pledged a thorough investigation, saying the video clip was the first documented evidence of a detainee being abused.
“This is the first time we have obtained evidence from a video clip,” he said.

I am shocked and chagrined More ear squats without explanation http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t51329.html
Squat
A relative unit of measure. Unlike units such as meters which can be quantified as to how far a photon travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second, the relative unit of measure will vary from person to person based on their diet. The scale looks something like this.
Buttload - A pantload and a half. An amount beyond containment.
Pantload - Two complete shitloads, equivalent to 2694 raises or 898 squats
Shitload - A very large quantity, equivalent to 1347 raises or 449 squats
Little - in fact the difference between little and damned little is too little to justify this space.
Damned Little - two squats, or five pittances, or 6 raises
Squat - Two and a half pittances, or three raises.
Pittance - a bit more than "You call this a raise?" but not much more.
You call this a Raise? - not worth mentioning at all

Oh, that's just to check if they have bombs or kilos of heroin in their armpits and other places, isn't it? ;-)
I don't think I want to get "banned or suspended" tonight. We'll leave this one alone.
LOL You been watchin Blue Collar, haven't you?
Maybe it's a scientology thing, or something done with queer scientologists.
Nope, but I couldn't help myself...
I googled it and links came up for Carrot Top!
SHOCKING VIDEO: The controversial video clip showing a chinese woman instucted to do ear squats.
The video clearly shows the woman standing naked in a room with some lockers to her right. The woman in uniform can be heard telling the woman in Bahasa Malaysia to pull her ears, squat and stand up. The naked woman did 10 ear squats. .......
I think the naked part would be the humiliating part. They are harping on the ear squat like it's a torture method
I have been trying for 10 minutes to:
1. Figure out what an "ear squat" is,
2. Come up with some funny line about "ear squats,"
3. Determine why anyone should or would ever be interested in "ear squats,"
4. Decide if I should ask the wife if she wants to do "ear squats."
All four attempts have been total failures!
Click the above yahoo link --- the picture is not bad, work safe.
Malaysia is upset because it shows one of their police prisoners being abused.
the victim is being forced to do deep knee bends while holding her ear lobes.
(the victim taped from the rear and is mostly obscured)
"There was a cartoon in one of the dailies on Sunday which showed a policeman apprehending a drug junkie. The police was wearing a badge which read, Saya Anti Rasuah, and the junkie was wearing one which said Belia Benci Dadah. The junkie was saying to the policeman something along the lines of "Rilekslah encik, kita kan sama-sama berkempen". The poilceman did not look impressed. A very powerful and knowing cartoon, that."
Ear squats trigger some heavy discussion, that.
I wonder if we made terrorists do ear squats. Oh, the inhumanity! Call Amnesty International.
Lyndon Johnson used to do ear lifts on his dog.
I saw that and they dont seem to comment on the esr squats. Is that really abuse or just a mild fetish at work?
