Enjoy and I hope you’re not watching and having a meal at the same time.
This isn’t a naive question. Who is the law in Malaysia – the police or Umno?
Police stopped Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim from finishing his speech at a Pakatan Rakyat ceramah in Kulai last night. Only the PKR de facto leader was not allowed to deliver his full speech while other allies earlier spoke to the crowd.
Kulai PKR chief Liew Shin Kheong was quoted as syaing Kullai Jaya OCPD Supt Zulkifli Yahya had led a police team to end the ceramah, ostensibly at the behest of a group of 30 Umno Youth members.
Since when did police say they take orders from Umno or, for that matter, Umno Youth? Don’t they know the difference between government and party? Or have they become so blatant about only persecuting the opposition but not parties that are part of the federal government?
After all, it doesn’t matter whether it is the government or the opposition parties. The police are supposed to act without fear or favour.
Anwar himself lambasted Zulkifli’s decision as “nonsensical” in a text-message that he circulated earlier today.
“It is unreasonable that police should bow to Umno and follow the directions of a small number of rude supporters,” the Permatang Pauh MP said.
If anything, the police should have taken action against the Pakatan Rakyat for not having a permit for the ceramah. Of course, one would have expected the police to issue a permit as a matter of routine but that is a different matter altogether.
What is important is that the police act without fear or favour and is seen to act without fear or favour. Already, its history of doing so is rather suspect.
The Royal Malaysian Police appears to have a penchant to come out in full force to stop ceramahs and gatherings rather than work to bring down the crime rate with more patrols, and capturing suspected criminals rather than just shooting them dead.
Just like the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) that appears to prosecute small fry and opposition politicians rather than the big fish and those from the ruling coalition. The Port Klang Free Zone and the Lingam video clip scandals come to mind.
Before these enforcement authorities get their knickers in a twist, they should remember that their existence is to guarantee the peace and security of Malaysia and go after wrong-doers, no matter who they are.
It does them no good if they take orders from a political party. They should base their actions on the laws of the land. No more, no less.
TEAR GAS FIRED AT ANWAR CERAMAH, LEADERS HOLED UP Posted by admin Monday, 23 March 2009 23:51UPDATED 11.27PM
(The Malaysian Insider) SUNGAI PETANI, March 23 — Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) forces fired tear gas and used water cannons tonight on thousands gathered at a ceramah in Bukit Selambau just as Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was beginning his speech.
The FRU engaged the crowd at about 10pm and the opposition leader and other Pakatan Rakyat leaders are holed up in the building where the ceramah was being held as of 10.45pm.
According to PKR’s Selangor executive councillor Dr Xavier Jeyakumar, those arrested include fellow party member Zamri Yusuf who is a Senator from Kedah and Anwar’s chief of staff Ibrahim Yaacob.
He added that the crowd of thousands dispersed into nearby housing areas with the FRU giving chase who continue to fire tear gas.
Others arrested include aides to Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak and S Manikumar, the candidate for the Bukit Selambau by-elections on April 7.
“I am so angry that the FRU used water cannons and tear gas on 5,000 people gathered to hear DSAI speak,” he stated.
He also told The Malaysian Insider that there are rumours that the authorities want to detain the PKR de facto leader.
Other PKR sources have also told The Malaysian Insider of such rumours since last week when Anwar first hit the campaign trail for the three simultaneous by-elections in Bukit Selambau, Bukit Gantang and Batang Ai.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s government cleared the police chief and attorney
general Wednesday (11 March) of accusations that they conspired against
opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim ahead of trials that led to his imprisonment
a decade ago.
The decision dashes Anwar’s bid to bolster his claim that he was framed on
charges of corruption and sodomy in a high-level political plot following
his ouster as deputy prime minister in 1998.
Anwar’s accusation against the two officials, made last July, was also
considered an attempt to cast doubt on the credibility of authorities after
he faced a new charge of sodomy last year. Anwar is scheduled to go on trial
in July on a charge of sodomizing a male former aide.
Nazri Aziz, the minister in charge of legal affairs, said an independent
panel of ex-judges found no basis to Anwar’s claim that Inspector General of
Police Musa Hassan and Attorney General Abdul Gani Patail fabricated medical
evidence while Anwar was in police custody in 1998.
At that time, Anwar had been ousted from the Cabinet and was subsequently
convicted of corruption and sodomizing his former family driver. He was
imprisoned through 2004, when a court overturned the sodomy conviction.
After his release, Anwar stitched together an opposition alliance that won
an unprecedented 82 of 222 seats in Parliament in general elections last
March.
Way back 15 years ago, I turned up on the courts beat, as a frightened rookie scribe. Just my luck, I thought, that my first day on the beat and I get to follow my senior into the intimidating Court of Appeal.
The proceedings seemed so hushed that my racing heartbeat seemed louder than the judges’ words. There were three robed blokes up there.
My senior told me who they were. Mahadev Shankar, Gopal Sri Ram and N.H Chan. The names stayed with me over the years.
Today N.H Chan’s name came up again in a brave stand that reminded me of the heydays, of the guy dubbed Lion of Law, Justice Eusoffe Abdoolcader (tragically deceased).
Retired Justice N.H Chan could have shut up and spent his retirement in peace. But such are the ways of the men of conscience. Men who still thought the law should be about upholding justice.
Today, this learned judge stood up to expose, yet again another evidence of the prostitution of the Malaysian judiciary.
The hallowed halls of the judiciary were stained 20 years ago, with the intervention of the executive, but that doesn’t make it any easier for me to read of this mockery. Read it. Here’s a guy who is firing his salvos with such bullets as established legal precedents. LOCAL legal precedents, mind you.
I can’t resist stealing some juicy paragraphs from the link above. This is calling a spade a spade, a rotten judge, well…A ROTTEN JUDGE!
THURSDAY, A
MAHATIR CULPRIT,The hallowed halls of the judiciary were stained 20 years ago,WHAT IS ALL WORTH FOR YOU?
Anwar claims the latest sodomy charge is meant to stem the opposition’s
threat to the ruling coalitionof Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who
is being forced to step down following pressure by government officials.
Abdullah will hand power to his deputy, Najib Razak, on 3 April, the
Malaysian Insider news Web site reported Wednesday. Abdullah’s aides said
they could not immediately confirm the report by the site, which is run by
political pundits close to Abdullah’s administration.
Abdullah is expected to retire in late March or early April, but he has so
far not publicly announced a date. (AP)
