Guan Eng What is Your Opinion?

The current country scenario is dominated by the issue of alleged sodomy of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim(AI). AI is once again being alleged to have sodomised his own PA. Our discussion is of course do not centre aroud the issue of whether the allegation is true or otherwise. That should be the work of the Police and not us the law abiding citizen. What I wish to point out is rather the issue of AI seeking the redress under the Islamic Law, in the Syariah Court.

As everyone is aware, the criminal prosecution of the country is governed by criminal court in the country which is under the secular system as opposed to the Syariah System. The Law in which that govern the criminal prosecution are namely Criminal Procedure Code, Penal Code, etc-etc. These are acts of Parliament which were passed and amended by the Parliament of Malaysia when AI was in the rulling party and after he was out of the rulling party and he shuold recognise them.

I wander how would the action of AI in seeking the redress under the Syariah Law percieved by YAB Lim Guan Eng, YB Lim Kit Siang, YB Karpal Singh and other YBs from DAP. Isn't AI's action seeking redress under the Syariah Court tantamount to his agreement for the country criminal procedure to be governed under the Islamic Syatem? AI is now seeking a redress under a syatem where you have always opposed to, doesn't his action actually alarming to you? In the event he comes into power, what make you think that he would not turn the country legal system into the Islamic System that you have always opposed?

The other more important issue is, would you allow some who is alleged to have committed an criminal act,a right to choose and/or use which law to judge him to his benefit? What if the in the law of evidence, the evidence gathered is in one set of law sufficient and in another it is not sufficient to convict him? can then the alleged criminal chooses the one that is insufficient to have his case tried? What would happen to the country then? Kindly enlightened me and many others (as I have been asked the question by many layman).

All the YBs from DAP, kindly let us know what you have in mind in respect of this issue. Keeping quite isn't an solution to this. You owe a duty to the people of Malaysia, what is you opinion on this particular subject. Do you agree or do you not agree to what AI has done? You oppose to what AI has done so far? Please please please ... you are duty bound to let us know.
