It comes as no surprise that Karpal Singh’s application was rejected by the Shah Alam High Court. According to the high court it is not necessary to have the deputy premier as a witness in the Altantuya murder trial. What’s of course more important is the reason given.

The funny twist is the reason given at the 15.00h news on my radio:

Only those involved in the case can ask for a testimony.

 

You get the joke right? Statistically the people involved in a case are:

• the victims
• the villains

And in a murder case, the victim is dead. Luckily they didn’t say that only the victims can call others in court…

Anyway, seems the radio found out that something should have been explained a bit better, so at 16.00h on my radio:

…

That’s right: no reason given anymore. Accurate for sure, but it would be nice to get some more in depth information.

Nobody is above the law commented Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar about the Anwar Ibrahim Sodomy case.

So using the new logic that "if you have nothing to hide, you should be as cooperative as possible", Najib might as well make an official declaration.

As a matter of fact there are now 2 or even 3 statuary declarations linking DPM to a murder-case, where with Anwar Ibrahim there was only 1 police statement linking Anwar to a sodomy case.

Is history repeating itself?

10 years ago the DPM was almost ready to become PM until a sodomy case got thrown at him.

Now DPM is almost ready to become PM until a murder-case get’s thrown at him.

Maybe it would be wise to practice a different strategy in future:

anybody can be the new PM in stead of
only the DPM will be the next PM.

The advantages are plentiful:

you can concentrate fully on your job as DPM as a true servant of society
you don’t get the big bazooka’s shooting at you all the time in any way imaginable

Or do like in Europe:

organise general elections
see which party or parties form a majority
let them debate who will be the next PM

Quite different than in the US where you choose between Obama or McCain.

Different chronology than in Malaysia and it works quite well in Europe…

Red flag

Anwar has nothing to be afraid of says Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar

How can you believe that you have nothing to be afraid of when:

• Anwar makes an appointment to meet with the police at 14.00h
• at 12.45 his car is stopped and he is arrested SWAT-team style.

Maybe not scary for Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar. I can assure you the next meeting I am dragged at with masked men 75 minutes before reaching the set appointment-time… it’s extremely scary.

How can you believe that you have nothing to be afraid of when at his previous arrest 10 years ago: Anwar has been beaten unconscious by the police and left on the floor unconscious until the next morning when the police had a look at him again.

But some may argue that the past is not the present.

Well in the present I see:

• a girl walking on the pavement and suddenly a motorbike bangs into her: nothing to be afraid of?
• door and windows of every house locked like a fortress: nothing to be afraid of?
• politicians interfering with police investigations outside and inside parliament: nothing to be afraid of?
• the lady on TV saying: I am not going to switch from driving a car to public transport, as public transport is not safe…

Nothing to be afraid of?
