Malaysiakini : COMMENT | In 2005, when Anwar Ibrahim was in the political wilderness, claiming to be a victim of political manoeuvrings, he spoke at the Law Asia conference in Brisbane, declaring: “There are only two kinds of lawyers - those who know the law and those who know the judge.”
Read it all here.....For good measure, he explained: “So, all these years behind bars have made me realise what it's like to be at the receiving end of unjust laws administered by unjust politicians. The earlier charge sheet was long, but there was to be no trial.
“There was no need for a defence lawyer because I wasn't going to be given the opportunity to make my case and get myself out. I was put there pursuant to an executive order signed by the home minister. “This was my first real experience of the interplay of law and politics: the law was unjust, and the politics was expedient.”
GP2025 : There is no rule of law now, just arbitrary authority making decisions according to its whims and fancies. The Midnight intimidation of citizens by police as in the case of the removal of deities by temple owners a few days ago is the latest such lawlessness.
winning unembarrassable : best example, shouting like a lunatic when it comes to gaza people; when thousands of iranians killed, silent like a mouse. what a gentleman.
