In Malaysian, when a person gets arrested by the authority of law enforcers, he is not treated as a suspect BUT is passed off as a criminal, even before a court hearing begins.
Taken from Malaysia-Today's article, a cop's sworn statement of a high profile case;
“I saw the arrival of the vehicle. Dato Seri Anwar was helped out of the vehicle and was led by two police officers into the foyer. He was blindfolded. He was not handcuffed.”
“As he passed me I said something, “Treat him like a normal criminal. Why is he not handcuffed?” This statement was directed to the officers who affected the arrest.”
“The normal practice is, when a person is arrested, he would be handcuffed. It is not normal to blindfold a person who is arrested.”
“When a criminal is arrested he is handcuffed. At that time I knew that Dato Seri Anwar was arrested under Section 377 of the Penal Code which is a criminal offence.”
Welcome to Malaysia.
