SUCH is the advice rendered by netizens to a Facebook post which portrayed community anger following the recent viral kinky cemetery rendezvous by a couple at the Batu Gantung Chinese cemetery in Penang.
“Get a blardy [sic] room lahh [sic], stupid even when old!” was the one-liner real estate negotiator Colin Miranda penned on his Facebook page in reaction to the 58-year-old man (and his 37-year-old partner) going viral after they were caught on camera by a woman on March 22.
Apparently, the poster was only sharing the sentiment expressed by one furious netizen who has bluntly posed the question “aren’t Indians ashamed at all?” on the 🙏KLANG SENTOSA INDIAN MAKKAL🙏 FB group.
“Every week it’s always cases from you all hacking people, stealing cables, stealing mosque donation boxes, getting drunk and now even at an old age still doing such things [sic]?” she fumed.
“If you want intimacy, go get a hotel. Is there any sense in doing it at a Chinese graveyard? It’s extremely embarrassing … because of this, all Indians become victims of shame, everyone is laughing at our community. When you eat rice, don’t you even add salt or use your brain?”
The couple’s identity has been withheld by the police despite having admitted to committing the obscene act, according to northeast district police chief Assistant Commissioner Abdul Rozak Muhammad.
Nevertheless, the cops had on yesterday (March 24) obtained a three-day remand order from the Penang Magistrate’s Court to detain the couple – a 58-year-old man and a 37-year-olkd woman – pending investigations into the case.
Looking beyond race, religion
This was when one netizen aptly counselled that Indians need not be ashamed of their origin for “there are bad apples in every community”.
Another netizen told Indians/Hindus to look up rather than being shameful so long as they themselves “don’t engage in any immoral acts”.
“Every community has its issues … Illegal encroachment, cable theft, scams, corruption but minorities often become the target because the majority is louder, sometimes to cover their own wrongdoing,” she observed.
“At the end of the day, these are individual actions, not something that defines an entire community. I choose to see the good in people. So no, I’m not ashamed of something I haven’t done. But yes, I do feel very angry about such actions.”
Another commenter consoled his community that although he “really feel ashamed as an Indian, as a Tamilian”, there is a need to “remember (that) there are also very good Indians, excellent Tamilians in our midst”.
After all, as another netizen put it, Malaysians, especially the rightist fraternity, “have to stop dragging race/religion into every smallest matter for there’re both good and evil/crazy humans around”.
At the end of the day, perhaps the poster should be credited for his sharing – despite certain commenters questioning his true motive/intention – given that his decision has enabled an open discussion which led to an important conclusion that “there’re bad apples in every community”. – March 25, 2026
