Sodomy Stupidity

I find that the people on all sides of the recent sodomy accusation of Anwar Ibrahim being really silly. Before this, I had thought that only the politicians on the government side were behaving stupidly and exploiting the sodomy allegation to it’s fullest. But now, with the recent surfacing of new medical evidence, even the opposition side is behaving stupidly. The only people who have any sense in their head seem to be the regular rakyat.

The opposition politicians are making a lot of noise, asking for the trumped up charges against Anwar Ibrahim to be dropped and demanding for apologies from the government ministers who have made noises earlier. To me, this is just the regular sandiwara that we’ve seen in Malaysian politics for decades, only much more so now.

I ask myself a simple question: What is the point of demanding for apologies?

I mean, if I was a person who had been wrongfully accused and if I had evidence to back it up, I would be filing criminal charges against my accuser and not calling for apologies from opportunistic politicians. Actually, I shouldn’t even be the one filing criminal charges. I’m fairly sure that there has to be some law somewhere, that makes filing false police reports a crime. Otherwise, we would see people filing police reports for every little thing. I should think that the politicians should be demanding that the AG and police do the right thing, and arrest the person who filed a false police report.

There are no points to be scored from getting an apology. That is just syok sendiri only. The correct thing to do is to demand for the people who filed the false charges, to be brought to justice. Well, one can say that as Anwar has also filed a charge with the ACA that the AG and IGP are involved in planting false evidence against him in the last sodomy trial. But, if the opposition claims to uphold the rule of law, they have to play by the book, regardless of how dirty their competition is.

So, I’m getting rather disgusted with the politics in Malaysia. It sucks.
