Marooning who?

Someone wrote to NST this morning with one of the best suggestions I've heard in years! The writer, V.R.K. said he wished to take a step further and innovate the idea put forward by the Mufti of Perak (he suggested that people with HIV should be isolated on an island), which in turn was churned out in the wake of a worthwhile suggestion from one of the MPs (that drug addicts should be sent to an islands and be given free drugs so that they'll end up all corpse).

In his letter titled "Let's maroon our problem people" he suggested that traffic offenders, litterbugs and people found guilty of corruption should be sentenced to an island with no roads or vehicles, an island full of rubbish and an island where there is no money, respectively.

Now how about that!

I also wish to jump on this "Novel solutions" bandwagon and suggest that people who spit in public and on public property too be sentenced to live with their own kind on an island. Make that a very, very small island and with no shoes supplied so that everywhere they step, their feet will go shweck, shweck, shweck!
