PKR leader Anwar Ibrahim is received an ACA notice today compelling him to reveal the source behind the Lingam video or risk going to jail. [Malaysiakini]
ACA’s request is not unreasonable, but I am kinda pissed with the one sided investigation so far. The independent panel is failing miserably in determining the authenticity of the video; while ACA is busy chasing after the whistleblower instead of investigating people alleged in the judiciary scandal.
What would you do, if…?
These lead to a question that has always been mingling in my mind… If I have somehow obtained a file (or video) that could prove that some VIPs are involved in some national scandal, what would I do? What would you do in this situation?
Would you just throw all the stuff in the public or would you go to someone like Anwar or Lim Kit Siang and passed on the responsibility to them? ACA is always asking people to give this proof to them instead of political parties… but frankly I don’t have much fate with ACA these days. I have a feeling that if the proof is true, they might close the case prematurely, or to a worse extent… going after me instead.
It would be logical to just past the buck to people like Anwar and then stayed behind the scene… the source of the Lingam tape was probably thinking the same way.
Now, what would Anwar do… would he risk going to jail or risk the safety of the person that entrust him with the video? As the situation has been greatly publicise, it would be unthinkable if the ACA would do any physical harm to the whistleblower… but then, who can guarantee that the whistleblower would not be harassed mentally, or ordered to keep quiet?
You see,when the people have no trust in our police,ACA,judiciary and the government,we will turn to the opposition parties for help,even to the point of jeopardising the integrity of the ruling party.
The government has no clue as to why her citizen prefer to report the wrong doing of her employees to the opposition and not to the police.As far as the citizen is concerned,they know that this government is not sincere and only think of their power and benefit.Anything which is detrimental to the image of government will be cover up and sweep under the carpet.
The person who has the original video tape is doing Malaysian and the government a favor by disclosing the video as this will ensure wrong could be corrected by the authority.Only nimcompoot will go after the whistleblowers and protect the person involved in the video.We Malaysian have made the mistake of electing a government that is incompetent and without integrity and we have to rectify the situation ourselves come this General election.No one is stopping you from choosing a competent government !
As the saying goes, hired criers shed no real tears. The gomen of today was put in by us the voters. We have to vote it out when the next GE comes.
The ACA, Polis and others are all in the gomen’s deep pocket.
totally agree!! use the vote!! Other than that, nothing much we can do.
if somehow mr.anwar jailed because of this video clips, what will be the reaction of all malaysian? what shall be done? and with violence threats, will everyone still believe in justice prevail?…our samseng in suit government seems capable of doing that.
Hey wheres my supposed to be #5 posts?
yeinjee…do you have be like an internet undertaker who do what you want it to be like?
ffad… I mentioned before, I don’t want to see any blatant personal attack among commentors. Whether that would make me an undertaker or whatever… I don’t know.
I don’t have to be like a person who do what I want it to be like, but I want to.
yes i understand, but arent it better to have “blatant personal attack” rather than egging brain idiots spewing disease which might infect many innocent readers?
Thing is… it’s difficult to determine if someone is idiot (or not), or whether the comments are disease or miracle potion. Some comments might be going against the flow, and might offend someone, but that doesn’t mean that those comments are wrong or baseless.
It is easy to see if a comment if personal attack or not.
I have to admit that I am no saint; the decision I made could be wrong at the end of the day… but I have to trust my personal judgment in managing the site.
