Anwar Ibrahim Not Guilty!

Hi Folks,

Malaysian Opposition Leader, Anwar Ibrahim has been aquitted in the sodomy charges.

One thing for sure this is not the end yet...especially in the dramatic and soon-to-really-become-hot issue and that is the 13th General Election.

One can also conclude that from this not guilty verdict showed that the Malaysian Judiciary system is 'independent' of the executive branch or there was no influence from the 'higher up' authority as previously been assumed.

Despite that in Malaysia, we do not have a jury system (like in the US), it seems the Judge already made the decision based on all the facts and figures presented to him.

For PM Najib and Barisan Nasional (ruling party), they can say that the judiciary have made all the relevant decision without any intervention or interference from anyone and thus prove the independence of the judiciary system in this country.  Moving forward, yes when is the election? 

Speculation says it could be after the Chinese New Year or somewhere in Feb or March....  Again, that is PM Najib's prerogative decision.  He will know when the time comes...

As for Anwar Ibrahim and his Pakatan Rakyat partners (Opposition), it is sure thing that their objective is to capture Putrajaya and try to break the record and hope to become the first opposition to win the federal government in Malaysia.  Again, the onus is up to the fellow Malaysians.....he or she will only determine the government in power in the next General Election.

For now, sit back and enjoy the show...

Cheerios!
