Anwar Ibrahim refused to undergo a DNA test in his arrest episode following the police report lodged against him by Saiful Bukhari Azlan. He and his counsel has since given a reason on why the former deputy PM ahs not allowed it to be so. Anwar Ibrahim cited the precedent case that involved him a decade ago.
While the police are considering the legal option, Premier Abdullah Badawi has joined the chorus calling Anwar to provide a sample of DNA. Foreign Minister Rais Yatim in a statement assured the sovereignty of law and justice would be maintained.
It is my view that the premier and his cabinet ministers have forgotten something. How would Anwar trust the police if they are alleged to have tampered with the evidence in 1998? I would not trust the police in this case since the Badawi administration has yet to implement the Independent Police Commission on Misconduct and Complaints (IPCMC)? To add salt to the injury, both the AG and IG are not even suspended from their jobs following Anwar’s police report against them?
As if this wasn’t enough the image of Malaysian judiciary to have been restored wholly in the post Lingam Tape period. Recommendation for the appointment and promotion of a judge is yet to be made by a judicial commission.
Thus Anwar leads with 3-0 scoreline.
