Rule of Law in Malaysia as good as The Case of thirty PSM
By Aliran, upon twenty-four Sep 2011
Good Order is a Foundation of all thingsEdmund Burke,'Reflections upon a Revolution in France,' 1790
While we have been rather relieved which a Barisan Government had motionless to drop a charges opposite a thirty PSM (Parti Sosialis Malaysia) members, a issues surrounding their case have not been resolved. We contingency not dont think about a incomparable issues concerned in a case simply because a supervision had motionless to get out of a messy incident for its own good.
The BN supervision combined this untenable position which cannot be sustained
by explanation as good as facts. As a cover for its high-handedness, it is posturing itself as a generous establishment which is capable of being considerate. The actuality is it is trying to extricate itself from this unjustified as good as cruel movement opposite these helpless people who usually meant well.
It is inconceivable which people will be deceived by this gesticulate of a Police. Malaysians have been no some-more trusting or nave to be easily fooled by such tokenism. The reprehensible control of a Police cannot be condoned.
These thirty PSM members have been innocent as good as not guilty of any offence by any widen of a imagination underneath any Malaysian law. That was a reason because a Police attempted desperately to inc! ulpate t hem by all sorts of silly accusations:
- They were indicted of carrying weapons in their buses upon Jun 25, 2011.
- They were indicted of possessing rebellious material.
- They were indicted of waging war opposite a Yang DiPertuan Agong.
- They were indicted of being a national threat.
The Police invoked Section 122 of a Penal Code, Section 48 as good as Section 43 of a Societies Act, Section 29 (1) of a Internal Security Act as good as a Emergency Ordinance to set up up a case which these have been in truth "dangerous criminals". The Police threw all available during them in an try to vanquish them as good as frighten alternative Malaysians in an try to forestall them from fasten a Bersih 2.0 Walk for Democracy.
They were incarcerated unjustly underneath frightful conditions. On July 4 after 9 days of seizure twenty-four of them were charged in justice while a rest of a 6 were charged in justice upon 3 Aug after having been hold for twenty-eight days in unique confinement. The justice imposed bail of RM8,000 each, which meant they had to scramble desperately to lift RM240,000 to seek their freedom almost a quarter of a million ringgit! How could these bad people lift such a outrageous total to post bail?
All this, however, failed to mangle a suggestion of these thirty stalwarts; it failed to discourage outraged Malaysians from marching for democracy upon July 9, 2011. If anything it usually spurred Malaysians to drop their fear as good as mount up for their rights.
But a worrying thing about a whole part involving these thirty Malaysians is a control of a Police Force. We have been perturbed which a Police can catch any one underneath groundless charges with impunity. It looks which they can credit any one for whatever reason but a shred of evidence to behind up their claim as good as catch them.
How could they credit them of waging a war opposite a King, which is a critical criminal offence Section 122 allows for twenty years ! or even life seizure but an iota of damning evidence. This is clearly an abuse of their authority.
How could they credit them of carrying weapons in their train when no weapon was found in a bus? How could they credit them of possessing rebellious element when this was not established?
How could they credit them of being a national hazard but explanation a life of such a threat?Who baked up these stories? Surely someone contingency be answerable. Who will be hold underneath obligation for this contemptible affair? Shouldn't a Inspector-General of Police who is a conduct of a police force be hold underneath obligation for this? Shouldn't a Minister of Home Affairs be taken to charge for this break-down in a rule of law?
Why didn't a judge who is obliged for extenuation a remand sequence demand explanation before extenuation such an order? Aren't a elemental rights as good as freedoms of a chairman his concern? Isn't he a chairman who ensures which justice contingency be inspected as good as every chairman underneath a law is entitled to a protection of a law? Why did he destroy miserably in his avocation to uphold a constitution?
The Rule of Law should not turn a parable in our country. The Police contingency not be a law unto themselves. The Rule of Law contingency prevail during all times.
To forestall similar incidences from occurring in future we need to go deep in to this part as good as seek out out those who were cruel in accusing innocent Malaysians but only cause. We need a Royal Commission of Inquiry to examine how as good as because a apprehension of a thirty PSM members took place. We need to know what gives a Police a management t! o behave in a manner they have but being underneath obligation for their action. We need to establish a actuality which there is such a thing as Rule of Law in this country.
