“Police decided to be “flexible” and released Anwar on bail although the offence was a non-bailable case”, said Syed Hamid.
“On the arrest, the minister said the police strongly believed that if Anwar had returned to his house in Bukit Segambut, it would have been more difficult to arrest him…..This is because in their previous experience when they tried to serve a notice under Section 111 of the CPC, they weren’t allowed to go in to give it to him personally”.
“By doing what they did, the police avoided having to have a scuffle with him…..Most importantly, Anwar was not harmed”.
*********************************************
- 2 fundamental issues here.
First.
Can’t understand Hamid!!! What was he trying to imply? Was it that difficult for the police to arrest Anwar had he returned to his house? Was it that difficult for the police to put on their ski-mask and stormed into Anwar’s house? It’s not that they have not done it before. It’s not that they have not scuffled with him before.
Second - The high-handed action by the police should have landed Syed Hamid in hot soup. As the minister in charge of the police, he should be held accountable for their action.
In many countries, especially the West, the minister in charge usually resigns from his post to take responsibility of the action of their charges but not here in Malaysia.
Malaysia may have inherited the Westminster’s system of democracy from its colonial masters but not the spirit.
In Malaysia, however grave a mistake made or however grave a dereliction of duty or financial impropriety by public officials, nothing will happen and nobody is accountable for whatever.
Well, Najib may say it’s a collective responsibility. Collective responsibility means everybody is responsible for something but how come nobody is accountable.
To list down the cases may be a waste of time but the fact remains that NOBODY IS ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANYTHING. ANYTHING GOES.
Syed Hamid, shut up or ship out.
