socalled LEadERS and UMNO/BN will be kicked out in the next General Election.
The educated masses are not fools.Everything is known clearly.There are some who despite knowing the overt faults of the regime that calls itself the Government,still lobby in its support because their own conscience is tainted.The regime has allowed corruption to be ingrained into the core of the Government operations.It would need the sacking of at least 30% of the Government sector before any remedial measures can be successfully instituited.The good public of this nation must fight on!
Well, Kennys analysis holds out the hope that Anwar may be able to defend the sodomy charges successfully.
I must admit I have no such optimism!
yes, we must battle for justice but when the investigative, prosecution and judiciary are stacked for the UMNOputras, I wonder what an ordinary rakyat can do?
I will bide my time and come the next general elections , hopefully the collective vote will show the UMNOputras the door!
All law abiding citizens must stand up and be counted. This is a fight where the citizens must win in order that we may live in peace and not in fear!
If you think this is just Anwars problem, then, think again because if the justice system in Malaysia is damaged beyond repair, then, all Malaysians could be confronted with situations like Kugan, Anwar a! nd a who le host of other abusive and life threatening occasions experienced by the less fortunate.
Once the justice system is irreparably damaged, then, the darker side of jealousy or opportunists will creep beyond the less fortunate onto other innocent parties like you and me. This will be because if the institutions of the nation are able to manipulate our countrys democratic rights without any consequences, then, our enemies or disenchanted acquaintances will be able to do an Anwar or Kugan on you if they so choose and can afford it or have good contact to execute it!
Nobody will be safe if we do not stand up and voice out our opposition to gross manipulation of our democratic system underpinned by our pillars of democracy. The politicians are very sensitive to public opinions and when the public overwhelmingly demands that they stop destroying our democracy, they will have no choice but to follow suit because every citizen holds the power to send them to oblivion through the ballot boxes.
Make use of your voice and your vote!
This trial is a bald-faced attempt to permanently remove an opposition leader from Malaysian politics, said Elaine Pearson, deputy Asia director at Human Rights Watch. The government is trying to manipulate the justice system for political purposes.
Nature of charge changed at whim and fancy when the governmence effectiveness and rule of law. Voice and accountability,burning burning najib fiddle with sodomy2 directed by rosmah can we afford another Anwar prosecutionDatuk Ambiga Sreenevasan?
The current charge against Anwar relates to allegations that on June 26, 2008, he had sexual relations with Mohd Saiful Bukhari bin Azlan, a 23-year-old male former volunteer aide to Anwar. Although initially filed as a non-consensual offense, prosecutors later changed the charge to consensual sodomy, though Saiful has never been charged.Charge Saiful for making a false report and cau! sing all the trouble. Send him to jail to share with perverts so that he can fulfill his dream TIME: Circa 2006 LOCATION: THE UNITED STATESof TANAH MELAYU
A conviction would force Anwar to vacate his seat in Parliament and effectively bar him from contesting in the next general election, expected before 2012.
Anwars July 15 court application to drop the sodomy charge rests on the basis of two medical reports. Three specialists from the public Kuala Lumpur Hospital endorsed a July 13, 2008 medical report regarding the complainant that found no conclusive clinical findings suggestive of penetration to the anus and no significant defensive wound on the body of the patient.political comedy satire THE NAJISROSMAA-THE SAYFOOL STORY THE MALAYSIAN VERSION WATERGATE WHO PUT HIM IN , WHO PUSHED IN MAA MAAMIAH
A doctor at the private Pusrawi Hospital who examined Saiful on June 28, 2008, two days after the alleged incident, reported the anus as normal. The doctor later left Malaysia to escape what he said was persistent pressure to alter his report.
In addition, the defense will reiterate its January 2009 request for at least 10 documents it asserts are necessary for it to properly prepare Anwars defense at trial. They include the original closed-circuit television recordings from the alleged crime scene, original specimens from which DNA samples were allegedly obtained, chemists notes, witness statements including the complainants, and medical reports.the credibility of (BN) government The doctrine, which calls for checks and balances between the three estates of government, has been dead in the countrys system of political governance since 1998.
To date, the Public Prosecutors office has denied it is withholding any documents it is mandated to share under the Malaysian Criminal Procedure Code.
Providing the defendant with evidence crucial for preparing his defense is a basic requirement of a fair trial, said Pearson. The prosecutions withholding of key ! evidence is a red flag of political shenanigans.
Escalating case to reduce Anwars avenues of appeal
Concerns about a fair trial were heightened on July 1 after the court dismissed Anwars appeal challenging Attorney General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patails decision to move the trial to the High Court from the Sessions Court where it originated.
Transfer to a high court reduces opportunities for a defense appeal to higher courts should Anwar be found guilty. Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi then stated publicly in July 2008 that Abdul Gani, who is also public prosecutor, would have no part in Anwars trial as he is under investigation by the Anti-Corruption Commission for allegedly falsifying evidence to protect those involved in an assault on Anwar in 1998 while he was in police custody during the earlier sodomy trial.
Sessions Court Judge Komathy Suppiah ruled in March that, it is evident that any involvement by the AG [Gani] in this case would seriously undermine public confidence in the administration of criminal justice. The High Court overruled Judge Komathys decision, stating that Gani was only acting administratively in approving the transfer and thus was not involved in the new trial.
Hammering through new DNA law
DNA issues are also contentious in the case. On June 23, 2009, the lower house of Parliament quickly passed the Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) Identification Act, which will go into effect after Senate and Royal assent. It would allow police to take DNA samples from criminal suspects and to use those samples to build a DNA databank.
Anwar has repeatedly refused to submit DNA samples in this case on the grounds that current law does not require it and because of his reasonable concern for evidence tampering as happened in his 1998 trial.
The proposed DNA law includes a provision stating that any existing DNA profile and any information in relation thereto kept and maintained by the Chemistry Department of Malaysia or Royal Mala! ysia Pol ice, immediately before coming into operation of this Act shall form part of the DNA Databank established under this Act.
Circumventing Anwars refusal to provide a new DNA sample, this would permit the manipulated samples from his previous trial to be used as evidence and manipulated again during the upcoming trial.
Other language in the bill raises fair-trial concerns. Article 24 reads: Any information from the DNA Database shall be admissible as a conclusive proof of the DNA identification in any proceedings in any court. Such decisive stipulations ignore well-known information that DNA databanks are not foolproof, and are often prone to tampering and mistakes in evidence collection and handling.
As a safeguard, many courts around the world have determined that information gleaned from DNA cannot be conclusive and must always be corroborated. Those responsible for the collection of evidence must be professional, competent, and beyond the reach of any improper interference.Najib strategy at the moment:to get Hadi Awang and his deputy Nasharudin Mat Isa endorse traumatized Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan story their intention is to convict him by hook or by crook,
Serious concerns about fairness and impartial administration of justice, combined with heavy-handed police tactics at the time of Anwars arrest and intimidation of witnesses, are reminiscent of Anwars earlier, deeply marred sodomy trial, Human Rights Watch said. Given these concerns, Human Rights Watch renewed its call for the charge against Anwar to be dropped immediately.
The Malaysian government should stop using the courts to pursue political vendettas, said Pearson. Unless it drops these dubious charges against Anwar, it risks giving its reputation another black eye. Ghani Patail and Musa Hassan will go down well in history as the greatest crook of all time who make a joke out of the judiciary, the law and order and the human rights of Malaysia.
Sodomy (committing carnal intercourse ! against the order of nature), even when consensual, is punishable in Malaysia under Section 377B of the Penal Code by up to 20 years in prison and whipping.
Human Rights Watch urges the Malaysian authorities to uphold international human rights standards by decriminalizing consensual homosexual conduct and replacing Section 377A with a gender-neutral rape law.

The list of legal transgressions goes All of these acts call into question some very serious issues relating to the conduct and professional capacity that our legal community has exhibited both within and outside the government.
I am not a lawyer. I am a journalist. But there is no doubt in my mind that the legal community could have prevented this scam by clearly distinguishing for their clients what is lawful versus what is unlawful. This would have meant advising their clients against the actions that they took as opposed to telling them what they wanted to hear.I am raising this issue in the hope that it will lead to further debate and introspection among those with a deeper understanding of law.
Judge for yourselves, my learned friends.
