9/1/12 -- heads (or maybe just one head) will roll

You know what's really sad? When people talk about the possible verdicts of Anwar Ibrahim's sodomy case today, the discussion is usually centered around weighing the pros and cons the government would face if Anwar were convicted or acquitted, because we all know that the judges involved are certain to choose the outcome that is most favorable to the government as opposed to what is fair and just. It just says a lot about how bad our judicial system really is.

The judiciary is not only supposed to BE impartial, but also (and more importantly) BE SEEN by everyone as impartial. Whatever tomorrow's outcome may be -- even if the judges do the right thing and free Anwar -- as a (admittedly not particularly brilliant haha) law student I am very very disappointed.

Btw don't even get me started on the ridiculous list of demands the police made regarding the people supporting Anwar that want to stage a peaceful rally thing in front of the court (read about it here), because I'm pretty sure I'll end up wrecking my dad's laptop haha. 

Big sigh Malaysia, BIG SIGH.




P.S. yes I am operating on the basis that he (Anwar) is innocent based on what I've heard or read regarding the case haha. I may be totally wrong, in which case I agree he should be dealt with according to the law IF he's so-called 'guilty'; but I just cannot bring myself to accept politically-based verdicts and injustice. Grrrr...
