Partners-in-crime.

Taken from TheStar article, our Home Minister (who he gave away a small yet strategic piece of rock to Singapore) had this to say:

Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan is not being charged because he is the key witness in the sodomy case against PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar.

He said that in a criminal justice system, when a person comes forward to report on a matter, the person would be protected.

“Usually, the victim is given protection,” Syed Hamid said

Kinda weird answer if you asked me. The thing is, the victim wasn't a victim in this case. It was more like a partner-in-crime. I'll be fine when/if the partner-in-crime comes out to be a witness and gets the cop's protection. But I find it hard to comprehend that this fellow is not charged accordingly to the law of the crimes he committed. Does this minister is to say that, if I robs a bank with you and I reports you to the cops and that I will get away from the crime that I have just committed with you?

Doesn't sound logical right?

And now you know why we lost out a piece of rock to Singapore.

Malaysia Boleh!
