Yesterday’s blog post was “What happens if Anwar is arrested before by-election?”
Unfortunately, we will get to find out now. Anwar is expected to be charged with sodomy at the Magistrate’s Court in Jalan Duta at 9.00am tomorrow. Whether he would be allowed bail would very much depend on the judge’s discretion.
For those of you who were too young to follow the first Anwar trials 10 years ago, now you get to see for yourselves what the rest of us had to put up with. To put it mildly, the Malaysian judicial system did not distinguish itself.
A few among the “distinguished” cast of characters back then may even make a re-appearance in this case.
They say people never learn from history. So now we get to make ourselves the laughing stock of the world all over again.

Anwar will be charge for Sodomy with Consent? Denial Bail?
http://themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/headlines/42-lead-stories/2630-not-a-bailable-offence-says-anwars-lawyers
By Debra Chong
PETALING JAYA, Aug 6 — Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s campaign plans for the upcoming Permatang Pauh by-election, slated for Aug 26, may suffer a slight hiccup. His legal defence team, headed by Sulaiman Abdullah, is not certain that the veteran politician who is due to be charged for sodomy tomorrow morning will be able to obtain bail.
“It’s a non-bailable offence but it is normally granted…except in the case of Anwar,” added lawyer Sankara Nair on behalf of the rest of the legal team. He was referring to Sodomy I, when Anwar was denied bail for a similar charge in 1998.
However, Sankara did not immediately dismiss the possibility of bail. “So many sodomy cases go on in Malaysia. So many rape cases. So why should Anwar be denied bail?” he questioned.
He was reluctant to name the amount though, and said only that the amount for bail would depend on the court.
The team of lawyers, which also includes Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) vice-president R. Sivarasa, and Saiful Izham, have been prepared to argue Anwar’s case since July 28, Sankara said.
In the event bail is denied, the lawyers will immediately pursue an appeal. And if that should fail, Anwar may find himself back in Sungai Buloh prison, for a while at least.
While the exact nature of the charge is unclear, Sankara believes that the prosecution may choose to charge him under Section 377B of the Penal Code, which is sodomy by consent, rather than Section 377C, which is for sodomy without consent.
Sodomy, with or without consent, is illegal in Malaysia.
Motive: No surprises, things went according as planned.
To slow down Anwar with his political activities.
Objective: ‘…Court” verdict will be beyond any doubt.
Anwar will be charged and (could) loose his Parliamentary seat.
Result: (Possible) Civil disturbances by opposition supporters and good
decent citizens of this nation. Demand for Fairness and
Justice. Remove this corrupted and evil BN govt.
A bloody disgrace, I fear that the rakyat may not be able to tolerate this. May God save this country from the morons that run it

I’m Singaporean and I have family living in Malaysia. I worry for the people of Malaysia. Its now about Malaysians uniting and making a stand for their hopes, dreams and future. I pray for all my Malaysian friends and I have many and I pray for my relatives there too. God be with all of you.
Drama time again – this time minus the conniving old TDM.
New actors – 23 yrs old virgin a** (by now probably not as the authorities have to make a convincing point).
Mahathir trained his successors well – only they were too stupid to pull the same tactic again which was a failure as the accused was acquited.
When will all these gross immoral stupidity end!
Fool us ONCE – unsuccessful.
Try to FOOL US twice – only a MORON will do that!
Best for PM to step down, go to Australia and live there for good.
Please spare this country the SHAME and LOSS OF DIGNITY – otherwise the world will think of Malaysians as dumb, immoral, unjust, stupid, morons, …
i am 24 now, when the first sodomy episode happened i was still in school and i could not understand why people were so angry with what happened to DSAI.
my family is an avid supporter of REFORMASI, i have grown up to learn a lot about the struggle that DSAI had to go thru. i have grown to respect and admire him as a a person and a leader. he is an example of a true great malaysian.
at the same time i have learn to appreciate other things, such as humanity, justice and fairness, as my studies took me abroad to prominent liberal countries like Australia. this has broaden my experience and views and the vision that i have for my country.
the day that i heard about the police report was a very bad day. it was a disappointment that our own people could resort to that sort of political maneuver. i felt sad and disappointed that people who consider themselves a believer of THE JUDGEMENT DAY would resort to somethg as evil and sinister as this.
i pray that hope does not abandon us, i pray that malaysians who still have a tiny bit of conscience will do the right thing to kick the goons out of office and restore the pride and integrity that we were once proud of.
desperate times call for desperate actions?
Only one will survive this either DSAI or umno, we be watching the mother of all battles Anil.Only one result will suit all MALAYSIANS THE DEMISE OF UMNO RIP.
To all malaysians,
whichever GOD we are praying to, please let us pray together
for justice to prevail in this country.
Don’t our BN politicians feel ashame at all? If they do, how could they sleep at night?
It will be a hard time for me to go through if Dato Seri Anwar is successfully been accused AGAIN. Bring down Um-NO forever!
I read with interest the posting of Punithan Shan http://indiansmalaysia.blogspot.com/ and PEMUDA MIC BLOG http://pemudamic.blogspot.com/2008/08/vulgar-and-slanderous.html
At first I was very angry with the comments of Blogger MARGEEMAR (http://margeemar.blogspot.com). I even posted my comment in Punithan Shan’s blog to express my sympathy and support for what I had assumed as an uncalled attack by MARGEEMAR on Punithan.
However, I did take the trouble to read up Margeemar’s blog and Punithan’s blog and their previous postings. What I felt was utter disgust and anger not at Margeemar but with Punithan Shan and his comrades from Pemuda MIC. I was really taken for a ride with their spin. I may not agree with the tone of language that Margeemar used on Punithan but I can understand why.
After reading Margeemar, Punithan and Pemuda MIC Blogs, I must say I agree 100% with the issues and comments raised by Margeemar with regards to Punithan. Punithan like Pemuda MIC are really a bunch of racists. I dread to think that someone like Punithan is going to walk the wards of a Hospital in Malaysia in a few months.
I’ve taken the liberty to extract excerpts of the racist, pro-BN/MIC and anti-Pakatan Rakyat/Anwar comments I found in both Punithan and Pemuda MIC Blog. I hope all truth seeking Malaysian’s will not fall for such deception again.
PUNITHAN SHAN Blog
“Before GE-12 we witnessed almost all the PR indian YB’s focused on INDIAN AGENDA.
But now are they turning their heart and mind to “Anwar’s agenda”??
Having a press conference for PSD rejects and opening kelab penyokong PAS is not really an Indian agenda.
I understand that they representing Multiracial party which i say have very little “resources” for Indians Agenda. But they as the Indian’s reps in PR should be able to find a way to walk their talks.
Since GE-12, i can proudly say MIC is WALKING THEIR TALK. I am not boasting about the re branding. I am talking about their agenda’s for Indians that they proposed to the government and now we are witnessing the “outcome”. I have took the afford to post on all their achievements since APRIL 2008. Kindly browse my blog.
It was just a matter of time and MIC would have gotten 2 full ministers in the cabinet. It was just matter of time and MIC would have gotten more EXCO in states. It was just matter of time and we would have been gifted with MORE voices in the Government. All that would have happened if MIC won atleast 80%.
But we denied it. The people denied that gift. Ok fine….”voters are always right”.
Malaysian Indians for the 1st time expressed their dislikes over BN publicly .So we made the government realize that we are not happy and we need more. And unfortunately now MIC the sole Indians rep in the government is left with only few reps. Is this what they wanted?? Is this for good??
PEMUDA MIC BLOG
Who are practising the vulgarity now ? Who taught the ‘pariah’ word ? Why look down at Indians ? What are the reaction from other bloggers ? Are they only going to voice out if the victim is non-MIC ? Rather than looking at the perspective of PKR Indians, DAP Indians, BN Indians, Hindraf Indians….. just remove all the tittle carrying Indians there … and just be an Indian… Lets Unite….
“While the exact nature of the charge is unclear, Sankara believes that the prosecution may choose to charge him under Section 377B of the Penal Code, which is sodomy by consent, rather than Section 377C, which is for sodomy without consent.”
It is not possible for them to charge DSAI with sodomy by consent or Saiful is equally guilty and will have to be charged as well. However, it is harder to prove sodomy without consent (rape) unless the court is very perverted …
to our friends in barisan nasional, if they still have any conscience left, must act decisively to put things right.
they can achieve this by leaving the corrupt barisan nasional.
Agree with you nafasbaru 12:54 am.
The FIL-SIL regime is running Malaysia into the ground.
If this kind of charade goes on, only the
utterly corrupt and the foolish will remain in BN.
They have already locked the poor guy up for 6 years. To lock him up again is PLAIN EVIL! BN is not just incompetent. BN is EVIL!
How many Malaysians have actually spent time in prison for sodomy? NONE, as far as I know! And this is not a conspiracy?
So what do we tell a kid who aspires to be PM of Malaysia? You gotta be prepared to be accused of unnatural sex and be ready to go to jail for a long time!
The lop sided ‘fight’ has now proceeded to the courts even as I write this comment…
Malaysia is again dragged through muck by a bunch of power crazy, money grabbing mindless excuses for politicians who will not stop at this until their nemesis DSAI is removed from the political stage.
What is extremely sad though is the fact that there are so many members of the services, in particular the PDRM, the Attorney General’s Office and yes other Govt offices who (allegedly) blindly take orders from their political Masters to do their best to bring a man down and in the process, make a mockery of the Laws of this country and the Federal Constitution. To these lackeys of the Politicians, I do hope you can go to sleep peacefully at nights. How …can you go to your mosques on Friday, your churches on Sundays and/or your temples or whatever places of worship you go to and still profess your religion??? How can you face your family and especially your children and tell them with every honesty that you have done your duty well.
To the many ELECTED members of Parliament and State Assemblymen, do you have no conscience whatsoever OR are you a bunch of spineless s***heads who will dance to any tune that your “Masters” call out. Be reminded that in the first place, your true masters are the Malaysians who voted you into your position not the “Tuans” who reside in Putrajaya. Does it not even worry you a single iota that you are looking at what an entire horde of YABs are doing right now??? – That is what their Brand of “KETUANAN” is all about and you are all nothing but fools and lackeys doing their bidding and keeping them in power!!!
It is about time you wake up and out of your self induced sleep and reconsider your options, your promises to the people who elected you and your duty as true Malaysians. You have a duty to put an end to this madness that Putrajaya is leading this country into. Why wait further for DSAI to call you/ask you to cross over. Be a MAN/WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE AND INTEGRITY. Walk over the divide now, join PR and put an end to this tyrany that UMNO is imposing on all Malaysians – you and your family included. Don’t kid yourself that you and your family are safe as long as you grovel at your Masters’ feet. You should be aware by now that all it takes is for you to make a little mistake, step on the wrong toe and you or even your family will be in DSAI’s place immediately.
Finally, everyone should be aware of the latest posting on Malaysia today with regard to the Statutory Declaration made by Dr. Osman Abdul Hamid from Pusrawi…. I bloody hope that whichever Paul Augustine “clone” selected…. to preside in DSAI’s court today does not come out with the copyrighted words of Augustine Paul such as “Irrelevant,……” The SD f**** up the case against DSAI and if the court chooses to continue the action, the country should seriously consider to do a Gandhi protest – f***ing stay at home and just bring the country and econnomy to a dead stop.
