Anwar's acquittal: Whither Umno?



In box Muhyiddin as good as his fellow hardliners have been unaware, a facts presented by a assign in a Anwar hearing have been so absurdly diseased as good as apparently fake which it would have been an comprehensive flaw to a nation if High Court decider Mohamed Zabidin Mohd Diah were to confirm otherwise, i.e. anticipating Anwar guilty.

There have been indications which Umno hardliners have been agitating for an interest opposite Anwar Ibrahim's sodomy box acquittal, as exemplified by Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin's open support to a complainant's father propelling a Attorney General to interest a case.
Muhyiddin was even quoted by a press to have stirred a A-G upon Jan 12 to consider such a request for a sake of open interests.
This pierce is evidently in dispute with Prime Minister Najib Razak's claim which Anwar's exculpation underscores a depth of his remodel agenda. In an talk published by theWall Street Journalon Jan 13, bard James Hookway writes:
"Malaysian personality Najib Razak forked to a exculpation this week of antithesis personality Anwar Ibrahim as justification he's critical about domestic reforms, even mouth-watering an election conflict which could propel him out of power."
Hookman said which Najib was "eager to paint himself as personality of Malaysia's many unconditional reforms given independence", as good as he quoted Najib as saying:
"Once a outcome was released, all of a tragedy surrounding a hearing unexpected fell divided as good as people unexpected realised there have been some-more critical things than just a Anwar issue, such as mercantile growth. What is critical now is which we pierce forward."
Najib afterwards recounted a remodel measures which he is in a routine of rolling out, su! ch as ma king a elections some-more transparent, shortening press censorship, tying a energy to catch without trial, etc.
Taking pride of these changes, Najib said which these could make Malaysia a brand new partner of a US in "promoting approved governing body as good as giveaway traffic opposite Middle East as good as a Islamic Middle East."
These have been difference of a personality who has spoken his goal to seek his domestic objectives by a approved path, with aspiration to win for his nation an honourable place between general community of democracies.
APPEAL WILL BE IN CONFLICT WITH NAJIB'S POSTURE
In light of Najib's viewpoint upon a Anwar issue, his emissary Muhyiddin's call for an interest opposite a exculpation seems oddly out of place, generally when universe accolades have been still pouring in, affirming Malaysia's legal preference as a right step to end a hearing which has been universally cursed as blatant travesty of probity as good as undisguised domestic persecution.
In box Muhyiddin as good as his fellow hardliners have been unaware, a facts presented by a assign in a Anwar hearing have been so absurdly diseased as good as apparently fake which it would have been an comprehensive flaw to a nation if High Court decider Mohamed Zabidin Mohd Diah were to confirm otherwise, i.e. anticipating Anwar guilty.
It should have been viewable to all those who have followed a hearing that, when a usually justification a DNA which a assign had counted upon to support a box (apart from a complainant's own words) was demolished by a Australian DNA expert, a complete box had probably collapsed.
PROSECUTION CASE VIRTUALLY COLLAPSED
Dr Brian McDonald, a reputable consultant molecular geneticist, righteously forked out which no spermatazoa after ejaculation could have survived for DNA identification after staying for 56 hours in a rectum as good as another 48 hours in a office of a p! olice qu estioning military officer during pleasant room temperature, which was what Anwar's alleged spermatazoa samples ostensible to have undergone before to reaching a chemist laboratory.
The actuality which these samples could still be found in "pristine" condition as described by Dr McDonald based upon a Malaysian government chemist Dr Seah Lay Hong's DNA test inform forked irresistibly to a actuality which these were not a strange swaps retrieved from a complainant's rectum, though fresh substitutes presented to a laboratory.
In box there is any disbelief upon Dr McDonald's credibility, he is a part of of a Australian Biomedical Society as good as served as cabinet part of of a Human Genetics Society, conduct geneticist military officer in New South Wales, part of of a Australian Forensic Science Society; as good as he had submitted to a justice a five-page certification listing a books, writings as good as articles which he has written upon a theme of DNA.
It is poignant which a assign has unsuccessful to successfully rebutted Dr McDonald's justification upon DNA, neither was chemist Dr Seah recalled by lead prosecutor, Solicitor-General II Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden, when he called a last assign rebuttal witnesses to give justification for a prosecution.
Yusof had said during a outset of a assign box upon February 3, 2010 which his box was based upon a complainant Saiful Bukhari Azlan's direct evidence, as good as Anwar's DNA found in Saiful's rectum. These would prove, over in accord with doubt, which Anwar was guilty, despite all a doctors who had physically carefully thought about Saiful had certified which they could not find any justification of penetration.
Now which a DNA justification has been dismantled, a box now hinged upon Saiful's words.
How much credit should be accorded to Saiful's evidence? The answer is found in a prosecution's preference to assign Anwar for consensual sodomy, instead of forced sodomy as emphatically ! persiste d by Saiful, reflecting a prosecution's feud with a complainant's claim. If a prosecutor could not hold in what Saiful says, because should a justice hold him?
APPEAL IS A DEAD END
Now a crucial question: can a uncorroborated justification of prosecution's star witness, to whom a assign had voiced no certainty (as reflected in a charge), consecrate proof of guilt over in accord with disbelief in a criminal assign which might condemn a accused to twenty years' jail?
Umno hardliners who would not let go of a legal routine to annihilate Anwar politically contingency initial ponder this question deeply.
In a eventuality of an appeal, will a row of judges sitting in a Court of Appeal, as good as a Federal Court, compliant as many of them have been to a wishes of a domestic masters, be peaceful bob so low as to answer in a certain to this question?
Even if they do, would which not make Malaysia a laughing stock of a world, causing a predicament of certainty in Malaysia's rule of law, to illustrate inflicting disgusting mercantile injury to a country?
Finally, have been these Umno extremists very certain which such a iniquitous injustice inflicted upon Malaysia's prime son might not means a large recoil which might cast Umno to domestic oblivion?
