Rule of Law

Nowadays rule of law is a hot topic to be discussed in Malaysia. But interestingly it seems that many people are unaware the essence of this doctrine and it's purposes.

Again, in Malaysia, who really cares about it?

Malaysians seem to forget their basic fundamental rights. They tend to become the servants to the 'servants' who assume the role of the master.

What are happening around the globe now are the fine reminders what the law actually can do if it is not been treated fairly.

The guardians of the law supposed to play their roles to preserve the law rather than to abuse it. And if that happened then, the entire system will collapsed because people do not longer believed in it.

We are heading to that direction and in my observation it is an evolution that the country is needed for the betterment of people of this country.

See you soon.

On the one hand, the law must protect the individual from the injustices of the multitude.  History has shown how individuals fall prey to mass perversity, their crime being simply a refusal to conform to the beliefs and prejudices of the majority. Anwar Ibrahim, The Asian Renaissance, 1997., Page 63. The value system and ethical code therefore determine the success or failure of corrective measures.

Even though, Malaysia has agonized considerably in past three decades because of the malpractices of the corrupted characters but she is never fail t...

Brexit: A lesson for Malaysians

Yesterday, Britons through a referendum made a decision to leave European Union. The ruling Conservative Party divided on this referendum and David Cameron in favour of ‘Remain’ was defeated outright. Even though he is disagreed with the decision of Britons, he announced that he is resigning from his premiership in respect of people’s decision. We can expect in a mature democracy country like United Kingdom this is vastly anticipated to be transpired.   A few days ago, the current Chief Commissioner of Malaysian Anti-Corruption of Commission made a statement that he is stepping down from his position and there are some rumours indicating that a few prominent officers from the said Commission will either resign or retire. It’s very eccentric news for Malaysians as it will have a profound impact on bribery and corruption issues in Malaysia as a whole. Recently, the results of two by elections were won by Barisan Nasional, the ruling party of Malaysia. Many promises had been...
