Women Overseas Traveller

Yesterday some government department suggested to implement a new rules for single woman overseas traveller. All single woman travelling to overseas must seek their parents' approval letter before being allow to travel. This is the prevention method of protecting local female traveller from being used as drug trafficking by others. How effective is this method really? Can this really help prevent woman or anyone from committing such act?

My point on it is this is a waste of time and just creating another troublesome procedure for the public. To preventing people committing such act should go back to the grassroot of the problem. Implementing another rule for 'innocent people' is just to create more miserable experience for anyone. Rather to inflict rules on these innocents, why don't they think of a better and more effective way to preventing this such as have the employers checked randomly and/or declaration from the company that's sending their employees out. Then will be more effective and it's easier to track down if this drug trafficking is by the person themselve or by others. The aftermath work will then cut down to whether internal or external.

Probably these 'innocents' did it due to greed. Probaly they were themselve asking for it. Probably it's this and that....... So rather to create more ineffective trouble for public, prevention cause shall be more straight into root cause, not the surface. There's always a possibility that parents will write an acknowledgement letter because they were told so and no further thinking is made.

Another 'wild' thought is government implementing this rule trying to shredd off the responsibility of carrying out investigation when these things happened. Why? Because they will then show the letter of consent to public they knew what they were going to do, and nothing much they could do! Case closed! Probably this is the case..............
