Pinnochio... Pinnochio...

Chaos in this country started off when the people started to pry into the private lives of those that they intend to jeopardize. Dirty politics, as they used to say. Of course is starts from attitude. The attitude of citizens of this country has got to change!!!

Honesty is scarce nowadays!! Look at the revelation by one Professor Salleh Buang in the New Straits Times last Friday, 4th July 2008 at page 29 in the Letters segment. His letter entitled "Just who was behind that amendment move in 1988". And so, what the Chief Justice Tun Abdul Hamid Mohamad warned "Don't follow blindly..." in the same media on 27 June was rightly justified.

Remarks and comments were passed against the past rulers of this country especially when the election started. Zaid Ibrahim purposely intended to stir this country with his move to be popular that led to the ex-gratia payment to some ex-judges. Little that the people know that those judges did indeed receive their pensions all this while.

So the writer being a Professor known to be expert in some field of law rightly stated the facts to set some of them right in the eyes of the public. He wrote "who was angry enough to want that important provision amended?"

It was justified to amend Article 121 of the Federal Constitution since the provision was such that it rendered an important provision of section 418A of the Criminal Procedure Code unconstitutional. A case of Public Prosecutor v Datuk Yap Peng (1987) 2 MLJ 311 was where it started and the court decided on the unconstitutionality.

Therefore, all the fuss that was created by the politicians be it from the ruling parties or the opposition parties, has been baseless. And some even dare to play around with the Statutory Declarations. A mockery to the rule of law by Malaysians! And the clowns have been the lawyers in this country led by the Bar Council of Malaysia.

I am really disgusted with all these lies lying around us trying to make us deviate from the very basic values. Pinnochio... stop it!!!

If only the noses of those involved grow like pinnochio's, then police work would be much easier.
