When the authority is soft

I wonder how much monitoring is done by the MCMC, the radio authority in Malaysia. Again today someone came on the MARTS's national link and mentioned the word 'pundek'. Pundek is a Tamil word to mean something like the 4 letter word. Te exact meaning of pundek is vagina. And he said that several times. On ASTRA's national link the 4 letter word is being uttered several times. That is not to mention the occurance on simplex frequencies. No action was taken against people who operate without the license. The MCMC does not seem to use the word license. In law today operate without a license is not illegal. No ham radio operator is given a license but a ticket that confirms an apparatus registeration. That is the reason why a commercial repeater is approved for those non-amateurs to operate using ham equipments. The authority cannot take action on the operators who had been defined as pirates.

Almost all of the MCMC officers are new to ham radio. They do not know what is the spirit of ham radio and what actually makes ham radio spiritual, respectable and divine. In fact the person in the ITU does not feel the divinity of it. Samuel Morse was responsible in making ham radio divine and spiritual.

The authority is soft as it redefined the law pertaining to ham radio by dropping the license and instead only interested whether an equipment is registered. And yet thousands of equipments are not registered. HF and VHF are sold like a hot cake. These rigs are sometimes given to the small kids to talk and shout.

To whom does the word pundek means to go ? To his own mother ? To the authority ? To all the ham operators ? What does the MCMC think ?
