Ear squats

Until today I am still wondering why is there a need for ear-squats in order to eject objects hidden in body's orifices during a strip search?

To me it seems more like abuse of power. There are already enough talks about our police force being corrupted when it comes to ringgit and sen. Recent incidents seems to indicate that the force is equally as corrupted when it comes to power.

Some have argued that there is a need of substantial pay increase to the force in order to curb the problems of corruption. To certain extent this measure might help to reduce corruption. However, I still believe that the lack of transparency is the root of these problems, and it does not only apply to the police force, but to the way many things are done in our beloved country. The lack of transparency has yielded certain parties too much power and without transparency, check and balance could not exist.
