Any sign of the IGP apologising to the Bar Council? Any sign of disciplinary action taken against the head of the police unit who arrested these lawyers? Here again is an example of the oft cited Malaysian cultural characteristics : we do not demonstrate and we should have unquestioned respect for hierarchy!chapchaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00048180236421500719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600802170849928872.post-72986170772626861772009-05-16T10:41:00.000+08:002009-05-16T10:41:00.000+08:00The police has been very high handed recently, arr...The police has been very high handed recently, arresting people for no valid reasons. This intimidation by the police will further distance the people from the rule of law. <br /><br />I am glad that the Bar Council has decided to sue them.Navihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15130596733343021396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600802170849928872.post-77868969171763767632009-05-16T10:11:00.000+08:002009-05-16T10:11:00.000+08:00Your concern resonates, saudara CT.
Do you think ...Your concern resonates, saudara CT.<br /><br />Do you think the issue is part of something bigger founded on our blue force not having a clear enough handle on what is expected of them by the rakyat in the areas of:<br /><br />- separation of powers;<br /><br />- upholding civil liberties;<br /><br />- aggregated legal basis for actions taken;<br /><br />- limits of procedural execution of power vested;<br /><br />- coordination between agencies involved both in the areas of action and explanation;<br /><br />- understanding the rakyat and their concerns in tandem with executive orders given over and above procedural allowances; <br /><br />- sensitized communication of actions taken;<br /><br />- absence of third party authority to deflect or arbitrate against political suasion or interference; <br /><br />- clear understanding of the roles in society and defense of the constitution by other stakeholders such as lawyers and NGOs for the continued well-being and progress of the democratic principles of this country;<br /><br />- laws, regulations and protocols not keeping up with the times at both federal and state levels, and<br /><br />- self-identity and confidence crisis in the force in the context of today's complex sociopolitical situation?<br /><br />The unspoken difficulties faced by our blue force should be ironed out as soon as possible because those difficulties can also be transposed to apply with equal magnitude on the other direct interfaces with our society - the mainstream media and the judiciary. <br /><br />Both have also been found wanting and for a long time. I am sure there are professionals within their domains who can identify with these concerns but are unable to move forward to make sufficient redress because there hasn't been a clear and present platform for them to do so without fear or favour.<br /><br />Some posts back i had mentioned the notion of 'institutionalization of ideals'. That are two coins to that. One, politicization has become so intense and institutionalized the terms 'national interest', 'national unity' and 'public security' have been loosely used to buffer political expediency. This has drawn a natural reaction on the other side, namely the championing by the rakyat of their sense of justice, fairness, transparency and civil liberties has also become more and more mainstream as people get to see for themselves the things which had been held back from them which have invariably ended up costing this nation millions while degrading their livelihood and future of their charges, let alone deflecting justice from being meted on abusers of power and white collar criminals within certain ranks.<br /><br />If we do not exercise candor and earnestness today to face up to these lacunas in both principles of stewardship and governance, then there will be a big and inevitable collision in the near future when the rakyat will seethe enough to demand final settlement.<br /><br />I look forward to your professional insights, comments and observations on these matters.wallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580252352785040456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600802170849928872.post-18095858196450512592009-05-16T04:21:00.000+08:002009-05-16T04:21:00.000+08:00De minimis,
