2001-10-25 A Shanghai rendezvous of terror

One need go no further than what happened in 1998 to the just-detained former deputy prime minister, Dato' Seri Anwa Ibrahim. That the former Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Rahim Noor, got off so light, after he lied about it and admitted only when a Royal Commission gave him no choice is what happens when no checks and balances exist when terror is the preferred mode of interrogation.

2001-09-11 Suhakam Biased, Government Not, Suhakam Biased ...

However you look at it, the government stumbled badly, as in the Royal Commission which winkled out the Inspector-General of Police, not the incumbent, for bodily assaulting just detained former deputy prime minister, one Anwar Ibrahim, to a pulp, after every one from Dr Mahathir down was sure he did not. He was jailed for two months, a mere slap in the wrist. (But it raised the propensity for police violence in that those guilty could be as lightly treated; if beating up the just sacked deputy prime minister would earn only a two month jail sentence, then many who were at the Kesas highway incident Suhakam wrote of could have expected a medal or two for their lawlessness.) Both, you would recall, were acts of bravery to save the nation from the likes of those who disagree with Dr Mahathir.
