Guilty????

When you are wrong, you are wrong and when you are guilty, you are guilty. There is no two ways about it. In the game of soccer, when the ball is handle its handball and when its handle in the penalty area, it is a penalty kick. At both occasions either the Referee or the Assistant Referee would decide and if either both of them do not detect the handball, the spectators surely would and cry out loud booing the Referee as unfair or bought over.

In the case of Ali Rustam, he was found guilty and he was barred from contesting the Vice President post. Whereas Khairy Jamaluddin, he was found guilty too but just a warning. To me it does not make sense. Both men were found guilty under the same act. Consider both men entered a supermarket, shoplifted and get caught. The Honorable Judge found that both men were guilty and both should be made to pay fine or go to jail. Most likely would go to jail an action of deterrent to the public. There would be no such thing as one only served with a warning and the other barred from entering the Supermarket. In my opinion the sentence to both Ali Rustam and Khairy Jamaluddin was absurd. I looked at it as a layman not as a Lawyer. Maybe a Lawyer can twist and turn, one stole a bar of chocolate and the other carted away a television. Was this the case of Khairy Jamaluddin? The money involved was smaller than Ali Rustam? I believe the sentence should be consistent as the one imposed to Isa Samad. He was found guilty and lost his UMNO membership and lost his ministerial ship. Tengku Razaleigh is correct…correct…correct, the people are confused, so am I.

MACC should follow up with the award served by the UMNO Disciplinary Committee. It is only a simple process, just ask for the finding from UMNO DC and submit to AG Chambers. The DC had tabulated the finding and found guilty as charged. Chicken feed job. If MACC could work very fast on Khalid Berahim case, then this case is white bean (kacang putih). Maybe I am wrong here, as I said I am not a Lawyer. Whatever….I seek for justice and I want a fair justice for all Malaysians protected by the Constitution.

It is indeed fun to watch the political scenario that crop up every day. In Malaysia anything can happen. Laws and Constitution only applicable to certain people and the best part the Lawmaker themselves can color the laws to their political advantage. As a Retiree, the political development is my past time.

One fine day, my children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great great, would understand what and why this old man is grumbling of.
