An ode to courageous judges. Sontoloyo series no 28.

1. Today, my article is about an ode to the courage of judges.

2. An ode in the sense of a poem in the form of a song, hailing and celebrating the courage of judges .

3 . Courage to insist doing acts that bring the scales of justice to balance as level as possible.

4. To rule without fear or favour so that the scales of justice which in reality is tilted, be equally balanced as best of possible .

5. Indeed the courts are the last bastion for people to get real justice, access to law and order and to ensure check and balance to the executive indiscretionary rules .

6. But only if players of the justice system assiduously cultivate the desire to balance the scales of justice.

7. But before discussing the role these courage's judges, which number is getting rarer, we discuss first the attitude of the people .

8. The attitude of the people is actually the 1st line of defence against injustice.

9. People ought to be cynical always and ask critical questions about the narratives given by people who want people mute.

10. These include people with deep pockets, career politicians and others who want to maintain the big lie. I. E. Justice is blind, the scales is always balanced, everything is fair.

11. If people have a heathy appetite for critical questions, they will eventually demand change where change is justifiable. Where are the eyes who are supposed to be helping protect them. Judges of superior courts why have you tuned your Hearts against the little ones who need your help So desperately?

12. It may surprised many readers that I find the lessons of uprightness and courage not from the lawlords of UK, but from a judge in ancient China .

13. I am talking about the legendary Bao zheng or Bao gong( lord Bao) or justice Bao ( Baoqingtian).

14. He is resolute and uncomprising when defending the poor against the rich for oppression and corruption.

15. Perhaps his most famous case demonstrating his impartiality and opaqueness against emotions , prejudices and biases was the civet cat case.

16. One day on a visit to the country he was called to see a lady.

17. After having proved that she was the true empress dowager, the lady asked Bao to take legal action against 2 persons.

18. First against the present emperor A. For failing in his duty as a filial son and correct the wrong.

19. The lady actually gave birth to emperor A. But as an infant he was replaced with a civet cat.

20. The reigning emperor B upon knowing this, disowned the lady and subsequently commanded her castle burned. The lady managed to escape and for the last 20 years lived in the countryside where Bao now finds himself at.

21. Infant A was adopted by another concubine who was appointed the empress. Later A became the crown prince.

22. When emperor B died, A became emperor A. The fake empress became the emperor dowager.

23. The other person the lady wanted Bao to take legal action on, was the fake empress dowager. She and her crony conspirator -the man who in the 1st place switched infant A with a civet cat.

24. Baos civet cat case established 2 inviolable principles. These principles should be the subject of the object lesson for judges striving to balance the scales of justice.

25. No matter how long does justice take place, it must be done .

26. No matter how high and untouchable you are, the law is above you.

27. For instance,a particular someone who thinks he is invincible and can drag the 1MDB case indefinitely is only delaying the inevitable.

28. That person will get the comeuppance he deserves .

29. Talking about this case, I am puzzled over 1 thing.

30. Suppose, the PM bows down to UMNO's version of justice and accorded the bugger house arrest.

31. What to do when he is subsequently found guilty of 1MDB?

32. Will he then be spirited out of his abode, to spend time as the government's special guest? This time minus the special treatment?

33. How disingenuous one is at dragging and doing legal filibustering, justice will eventually catch up with you .

34. See how important it is, to have resolute, determined and courageous judges to make the world in fact fairer?

35. Hence, to me, judicial activism does not mean making novelty judicial decisions, but in always striving to make more balanced the scales of justice.

36. Send us the gladiatorial judges and deliver us from the big lie.

Justice is not blind. She has eyes and arms. She has got vagina. She can be f**d. She IS f**d. Sontoloyo series no 27

1. Many parties are doing it to Ms. Justice. Legislators, judges, lawyers, weathy dudes, special interest groups like UMNO, pas and bersatu .

2. It's a gangbang on Ms Justice.

3. Sorry folks. I am a rough and tumble type. I am a politician. My write ups must have political nuance as well as bawdy descriptions.

4 . If you want the 'propuh' write ups and ever so genteel articles, you can read elsewhere.

5. Recently , there is an idea floated about that those convicted of corruption needn't be jailed. As long as they returned a portion of the looted amount .

6. That would turn the rationale for punishment and sentencing on its head.

7. Waste time saja talking about retribution, deterrence, incapacitation, rehabilitation etc.

8. A new sheriff is in town. There's a new version of justice. Perhaps thought of in cheruk to'kun while eating nasi kandaq from the celebrated outfit of hameediyah.

9. I am looking at this issue from a political standpoint. While enjoying gulai asam rong and sambal hitam. Kampung delicacies aja.

10. I shall start by stating the 1st fact. It shall become a real fact if everyone is conscious that it is one and everyone wanting it to be so.

11. The 1st fact I allude to is the fact this is a reformasi government. The majority must want it to be so and conscious of it.

12. The launching pad from which the PH government takes off is the reminder by Machiavelli.

13. We are not interested in preserving the status quo, we are interested in overthrowing it.

14 . Justice is not a constant. It's not unchangeable.

15. Each government has its version of justice. PH has its own. It's the overthrow of the status quo.

16. The parties wanting the preservation of the status quo are parties like UMNO, pas, bersatu and others actually sharing UMNO's version of justice.

17. You can steal and if convicted you don't have to go to jail. As long as you nego with AGC to pay back some.

18. The PH government is playing to the script written by the 'con-servatives.

19. You plundered, convicted, you pay and go to jail.

20. Have that ruling entrenched as an inviolable rule. While you are the government and in power.

21. Borrowing from von Clausewitz, justice is extension of power by another means.

22. It's power dressed up in words. It's power dressed up in the costume of justice.

23. Knowing justice is an extension of power by other means, let PH plays the power game.

24. Not to exacerbate the inequities but to deliberately do acts that balance the scales of justice on an even keel as best as possible.

25. To do acts that balance the scales of justice means that where justiciable and justifiable to mete out infinitely harsh punishments in proportion to the severity of the crimes and the circumstances of the crime doer.

26. It's a combination of both distributive and corrective justice plus maybe the judges' equity considerations.

27. For example, to people who are convicted of corruption, the justiciable and justifiable reciprocity is compensation and jail.

28. Both, tuan- not either one .

29. To not also jail the corrupt person is to play right into the justice game, the con-servatives want.

30. You are preserving the status quo not overthrowing it. Sungguh kurang reformasi.

31. Let the con-servatives whine and individuals swear unmentionable adjectives towards you, ignore them.

32. These people can implement their version of justice if they become the government.

33. And do not let your own ever so genteel and bourgeois sensibilities of justice get in the way of compensation and jail .

34. Get the money and jail them .

35. Earlier on in 25, I said in proportion to the severity and circumstances of the crime doer.

36. If a leader steals millions and billions -humongous and obscene amounts, he should compensate and go to jail.

37. The jail part comes with the territory. He has betrayed the trust given to him by the people. He should be called into account .

38. Judges' expectations of him should be higher, not lower.

39. But of course, the just world fallacy and the myth about justice being blind will continue if legislators and judges are meek and timid.

40. The myth will continue if we only shout endlessly about combating corruption but have no stomach when it comes to harsh punishments. 

41. A government is a collection of people, if it's borne of the people, it must reflect the objectives and goals of the people. 

42. If the majority desires jail.for corruption, who are we, if we were the government to object?

43. The government is not something over and above the people. Who in the government is impertinent, cocky and loutish to impose their own not so well thought of propositions onto the people?

44. Jailing those who committed corruption reflects absolutely the people's abhorrence on a most heinous crime.

45. This reformasi and revolutionary government has a point to prove. To expose the big lie .

46. That justice is blind, one law applies to all, this world is just, everything is impartial, fair are all s load of BS.

47. All these are components of the big lie. Fabrications by the con-servatives to control the people, a lullaby to keep them satiated and comforted.

48. So that they won't ask critical questions and won't demand change.

49. So, the PH government must do things opposite what the con-servatives will do

50. By showing it can offer a better version of justice by working assiduously towards balancing the scales of justice.

51. It can never be a perfect justice, but it can be a better one. By debunking the narratives that this is a just world, one law applies to all and the scales of justice is always balanced. Debunk these lies.

52. In the case of corruption where money or something of value is stolen, corrective and distributive justice must be applied alongside the judges' personal abhorrence towards corruption .

53. The leader must be punished more severely than the poor wretched person who stole a few packets of milk or Milo.

54. The leader stole in the comforts of his office, using sophisticated tekno-coli, abusing his position believing he is invincible and untouchable by the arms of the law. By betraying the trust of the people given to him, he must be jailed.

55. Even dreaming of not jailing the corrupt, you should wake up and apologize to we the people.

56. Thinking of not jailing these fuckers, you are in fact, agreeing to the version of justice offered by the con-servatives.

57. We, the people don't want to be conned all the time

Empty promises of justice. Bah 3 of 3 Sontoloyo series no 26

1. I am writing part 3 of this article in the English language.

2. The myth about justice being blind,one law applies to all and the scales of justice will eventually come to equilibrium is false.

3. It's a means to control the people, keeps them in check, a moral lullaby to the people. It comforts them and keeps them subservient.

4. It's the perpetuation of the just world fallacy all over.

5. Workers who think patience is a virtue and they will get their just rewards will not go for industrial action.

6. Chinese and indians who think UMNO , pas or bersatu will be fair to them will continue voting for them.

7. People who think those who commit corruption will be automatically jailed will not call on them to be accountable.

8. Hello , there are some thinking if these people return some portion of the money they plundered, they will be forgiven.

9. A certain chap who plundered billions is now considered for home arrest.

10. Although there is no such provision in the constitution .

11. The problem is, the justice that's promised to us, is delivered by the hands of men .

12. Hands that are soiled by so many imperfections - prejudices, biases or even the idea of protecting the old boy network.

13. Which by definition results in flawed justice.

14. The poor lady who stole a few packets of Milo got a jail sentence. I heard she's desperately looking for a pardon and looking too for a misplaced addendum.

15. Meanwhile, a certain fat-assed chap who's already convicted for plundering millions and who maybe convicted for plundering billions , got a sweetheart deal from the pardons board. His supporters are now weaponising a legally unclear piece of toilet paper called an addendum.

16. Mind you, the toilet paper is not dirty. It's used to wipe the ass.

17. If not for the toilet paper, civilisation will come to an end .

18. That's what you get when justice promises a load of BS.

19. It promises equality but delived on a system riddled by inequalities.

20. It promises neutrality but is shaped by many sentiments, prejudices and biases.

21. It promises fairness but succumbs to people with deep pockets and have technical know who.

22. If there are no constant balancing acts by stout judges, the just world fallacy will continue.

23. Without the interference by brave judges to erase the inequalities, the myth about justice being blind will endure.

24. If not for the judicious interference of these brave souls we would arrive at a situation sociologists termed as a Mathew effect situation.

25. The Mathew effect situation is popularly described by the expression, the rich gets richer, the poor gets poorer.

26 . In our case, it means the strong gets more powerful, the advantaged accumulates more advantages while the powerless gets more hapless.

27. A situation countenanced with the support of grade C judges.

28. The groups who can tilt the scales of justice to their advantage are the ones requiring the least protection from holidaying judges, whole those really needing protection can't get any

29. I won't bore readers with too much discussion on what is distributive justice, what's natural justice, what's legal justice etc.

30. On the other hand, I find it interesting to touch to the best of my knowledge, the ideas about corrective justice and what the Greeks called epekeia .

31. Students of the law know it as equity . Sometimes misspelled as epekia.

32. But I can't help but touch a little bit of distributive justice.

33. It's how society rewards and punishes transgressors and helpers of justice .

34. The lady who stole a few packets of Milo to feed her hungry children should be treated with more compassion. Lord Denning would have done that . Or lords Wilberforce or a Scarman.

35. The asshole who stole million and billions in his plush office, using sophisticated tekno-coli and doing it with utter disregard of the law believing he is invincible and untouchable because of his damn office, should get the severest of comeuppance.

36. Not only must be be punished for the actual crime but he must be punished too for his conceited mental


attitude.

37. That's why I stubbornly believe the rulings of the pardons board on a certain chap is wrong. Humoring the idea of a house arrest is more wrong .

38. We come to the conclusion that distributive justice isn't about equal treatment for all but punishment in accordance to proportionality

39. A wrongdoer is punished with respect to (wrt) his station in life, his circumstances, role and contributions.

40. Why should we be excessively respectful and circumspect when dealing with the rich and the powerful?

41. But dismissively, cavalierly and summarily against the poor and the huddled masses?

43. Corrective measures to balance the scales must be done by brave judges, grade A judges.

44. Just to remind readers why I keep repeating grade A.

45. Because to me, lawyers and judges are like eggs. They come in grades.

46. Grade A being the most capable. Grade C being the least able-not so knowledgeable, speak and write lousy English and compromisable.

47. Corrective justice is about repairing harm. Harm caused to the body, reputation, to public money caused in turn , the scales of justice to tilt. It must be restored as much as possible by the brave judge .

48. While distributive justice is about allocating benefits, corrective justice is about arithmetic in the main followed by jail where appropriate .

49. 10 stolen must be restored by 10 retuned plus more, followed by mandatory jail because the crime of stealing has been committed .

50 . Injury to reputation must be restored by adequate compensation. Both liquidated and unliquidated damages. Jail ought to be considered consequently.

51. Death I think should be restored by punitive compensation plus life imprisonment where no capital punishment is provided .

52. Version of justice is extension of power in another form. It's essentially power dressed up in the costume of justice.

53. Different governments have their own version of what justice is. This now is the version of justice as defined by PH.

54 . Reformasi must infuse every aspect of justice. At the base must be the reminder by Machiavelli.

55. PH is not in the business of preserving the status quo but in replacing it

56. So, versions of justice offered by UMNO, PAS and bersatu ought to be treated as going into the left ear and coming out from the right.

57. They can implement their version if they manage to become the government.

Empty promises of justice. Bah 2 of 3 Sontoloyo series no 25

1. Masyarakat diperlukan percaya justice is blind and fair. Once we believe that myth, society boleh terkawal.

2. Sebaik saja kita meyakini metos tersebut, kita berhenti menyoal.

3. Whose justice does it serve, who enforces it, whose interests does justice really serve?

4. Kan kita diberitahu justice is blind? Undang2 serupa terpakai keatas semua orang. Neraca justice akan seimbang . Yang jahat mendapat hukuman. Yang baik dapat imbuhan. Semua hunky-dory .

5. Jika semua aman, tidak perlu gugatan serta cabaran. 6. Keadaan aman lah yang dikehendaki oleh pemerintah.

7. Tapi keadaan aman tersebut terjamin jika rakyat terus percaya justice is blind.

8. Maka nya adalah in the interests of the elite, rulers to keep the myth that justice is blind, forever alive

9. Bila masyarakat terus mempercayai metos ini dan neraca justice akan akhir nya jadi seimbang , masyarakat mudah di urus.

10. Metos itu jadi lullaby menidurkan kita dan candu yang khayalkan kita. Ia nya opium kepada masyarakat.

11. Bila para perkerja fikir bersabar iu bagus, mereka tidak mogok dan strike.

12. Bila golongan minoriti merasa keadilan akan datang mereka tak memberontak.

13. Bila rakyat rasa yang melakukan korapsi akan pasti dihukum , mereka tidak rasa perlu untuk hold these people accountable.

14. Pemerintah atas nama justice akan buat. Tapi pemerintah tak nak jel. Nak duit je .

15. Saya ingatkan jika pemerintah tak jel koruptor, ia akan jatuh .

16. Kerajaan akan dilihat gagal menentukan supaya neraca justice seimbang, gagal melaksanakan satu undang2 untuk semua serta gagal to ensure that justice be blind.

17. Bila pemerintah gagal dalam semua ini, ia menanam bibit kejatuhan nya.

18. Itu sebab nya pemerintah jangan kompromi dengan aplikasi the rule of law. Yang korap mesti dijel, sejajar dengan jenayah nya .

19. Berapa kali kita di slogan seperti ini:-kalu kita kerja kuat kita pasti dapat ganjaran yang setimpal; kalu kita jujur kita akan dimuliakan; kalu kita buat noble acts nama kita akan dikenang dan jika berada dibawah, pemerintah akan nenaikkan martabad kita

20. Semua ini bohong belaka. Ramai perkerja yang bermati matian, terus miskin. Yang jujur tidak dihargai. Yang lakukan noble deeds dilupakan dan yang berada dibawah terus marhaen.

21. Ketidakadilan terus berlaku. Injustice is easier to manage than doing justice.

22. Reformasi sebetulnya ditakuti. Pemerintah tak mahu rakyat menuntut perubahan .

23. Pemeliharaan status quo is preferred.

24. Puak2 yang ada kepentingan mahu status quo kekal. Rakyat yang tak tuntut perubahan is politically suited.

25. Puak2 reaksioner UMNO, pas dan bersatu mahu mengekalkan orang melayu terus tidak berubah, dhaif , bergantung kepada mereka dan terus miskin.

26. Ini sebab utama mereka menentang kuat pembagunan semula kediaman di sungai baru - mereka tak mahu melayu berubah

27. Melayu yang menuntut perubahan adalah death knell kepada mereka.

28. Sebab itu mereka play to the tilt, siege mentally. Melayu di halau, melayu terancam lah gedebak gedebuk.

29. Justice kepada puak2 ini ialah biarkan melayu terus hidup merana. Melayu must be stopped from demanding real justice.

30. Special interest groups macam UMNO ,PAS serta konco2 mereka akan berhempas pulas mempertahan idea just world fallacy.

31. Their unchanging agenda is always to maintain the status quo melalui undang2 yang telah digubal oleh mereka yang pegang kuasa semasa pemerintahan mereka.

32. Hakim2 akan pompously declare impartiality dan neutrality, tapi sebetulnya keputusan mahkamah telah pun berpihak .

33. Ia memihak kepada those with deep pockets.

34. Bayangkan, si-kaya dapat melantik pasukan peguam, memilih saksi2 yang menyokong mereka serta membuat rayuan demi rayuan yang bertela tela sehingga rip van winkle pun terjaga dari tidur.

35. Manakala si-miskin tidak mampu membayar seorang pun tuan pegu untuk membela mereka. Mereka submit diri mereka kepada system heavily tilted against them .

36. Makcik yang curi beberapa paket Milo dan yang mencuri beberapa tin susu, found out about the just world fallacy the hard way.

37. Rakyat mesti dibuat terus percaya pada metos justice itu blind. People must be made to believe in the just world fallacy.

38. Because as soon as people disbelieve in the myth, they start questioning. When they question, they demand change

39. Change is the thing, the special interest groups don't want to see happen .

40. Inequality atau ketidaksaksamaan adalah kenyataan hidup. Fact of life. Sukar untuk diubah.

41. Yang mudah diubah adalah hasil usaha manusia atau products of human endeavor, seperti justice.

42 . Kita mesti learn to accept inequality. Aristotle gelar perkara ini sebab physis.

43. Saya di lahirkan Melayu. Kawan2 saya Cina atau India. Nothing we can do.

44. Yang kita tak boleh terima ialah hasil human endeavor seperti justice tidak boleh diubah. Justice adalah hasil human construction.

45 . Peranan hakim2 dan justice industry players ialah menghampiri sedekat mungkin atau approximate the principle that justice is indeed blind.

46. Sehubungan dengan itu, saya tidak ada respect pada hakim2 khususnya, yang accentuate injustice.

47. Tugas asas mereka ialah sentiasa mahu buat counterbalancing acts keatas injustice.

48. Demikian juga saya tidak respect parti2 politik yang mahu mengekalkan status quo. Pas dan UMNO dan bersatu.

49. Pakatan harapan mesti resolute dan jangan layan karenah serta gelagat special interest groups ni .

Empty promises of justice. Sontoloyo series no 24

1. Saya terbaca satu lapuran mengenai seorang ibu dipenjarakan . Sebab mencuri bebera paket Milo. Anak2 dia lapar

2. Tak adapun portal2 penyokong UMNO menjuarai perempuan ni.

3. Sebaliknya sorang mamat yang thabit kesalahan curi duit 43juta di juarai bukan nak rak lagi.

4. Kepentingan siapa yang dikhidmati oleh keadilan (justice)?

5. Keatas orang miskin dan voiceless, keadilan nampaknya keras,keatas yang kaya dan ada kuasa, keadilan berlembut.

6. Seorang mencuri beberapa paket Milo yang nilainya tak seberapa, tapi merengkok dalam penjara.

7. Seorang lagi melanun millions dan billions, hires the best lawyers dan mendapat layanan istimewa.

8. Bahkan di anggap layak mendapat tahanan rumah pula. Upahan2 media internet amplify this special treatment. Ini classic case of trial by the media.

9. Sejak kita faham konsep ini, kita diajar bahawa keadilan/justice adalah buta. Justice is blind.

10. Realiti adalah , itu adalah metos. Wanita yang curi paket Milo dan mamat curi juta dan billions, menunjukkan bahawa assertion justice is blind, bohong aja.

11. Dalam negara pun justice dah berbeza. Di USA anda boleh minum keras pada umur 21. Di germany pada umur 16.

12. Kenapa justice dalam negara, antara negara dan sempadan berbeza?

13. Kan kita diajar bahawa justice is blind dan justice is universal atau sejagat?

14. Justice tidak boleh dipisahkan daripada siapa yang berkuasa dan kepentingan siapa justice serve?

15. Perbezaan antara hukuman keatas pencuri milo dan yang sakau berjuta2 menunjukkan hukum dan justice memihak pada si-kaya dan terpilih.

16. Justice juga tidak terpisah daripada kita punya genteel dan bourgeois sensibilities.

17. Bila kita kata kita tak berminat mengejel perasuah, kita lebih minat mendapatkan wang, ianya mencerminkan bourgeois dan genteel sensibilities kita keatas justice.

18. Lebih penting, keadilan mencerminkan kuasa serta siapa yang ada kuasa.

19. Justice is what those in power define it .

20. Justice is power dressed up in words.

21. Sebab itu, kita mau hakim2 yang conscientious,menjaga supaya keadilan itu bukan oppressive tool mereka yang berkuasa .

22. Justice must always err on the side of the poor, the powerless and the listless .

23. Bahaya nya apabila kita percaya pada metos justice itu sejagat, tidak ubah2 , kita berhenti berfikiran kritikal.

24. Kita mula lupa bahawa justice itu, in the main mewakili kepentingan yang terpilih dan yang berkuasa terkini.

25. Jadi, kita mamfaatkan reality justice adalah kuasa contemporary.jangan layan desakan UMNO untuk tahanan rumah untuk seseorang embezzler-in-chief .

26. Metos justice ini mententeramkan kita aja. Kita rasa comforted lalu secara polos berkata, I have faith in our judicial system .

27. I say bollocks and bloody cow dung to that!

28. Misalnya klu kita percaya bahawa jlka korapsi akan self punish itself, jangan ada reformasi.

29. Kalu kita mahu wang aja tapi tak mahu susuli korapsi dengan hukuman, baik jangan teriak2 reformasi!

30. Dari kecik kita diterapkan dengan metos bahawa justice is blind. Hukum yang serupa terpakai keatas patricians and plebeians. Neraca justice akan seimbang. Yay!

31. Realiti nya justice is not blind. Ia ada mata dan tangan . Kita mesti Tanya selalu, siapa yang define justice tu dan kepentingan siapa yang ia jaga .

32. Justice bukan eternal dan unchanging. Ia adalah construction manusia , berubah serta contextual .

33. Ia berubah esok jika ada pilihanraya. Ia mengikut interpretasi politisyen, oleh hakim2 serta oleh pemerintah.

34. Oleh kerana ia satu variable,kita mesti awasinya dengan fikiran kritikal dan cynicism.

35. Jangan biarkan golongan elitis, politisyen serta pemerintah saja yang menentukan apa itu justice.

36. Kita mesti bersikap kritikal, mecabar, memberi masukan(inputs), menggugat.

37. Long have we die in subservience, now we live in rebellion!

38. Let's face it. The laws and justice are the products of human endeavor. Who farted, fornicate and do toilet duties. Let's not take their narratives spread eagled.

39. It was lord Denning who I think something to this effect.

40. If we leave everything to the experts, life will be topsy turvy.

41. My brother judges are interested in the technicalities of the law . I am interested in fair play.

' Katanya ada reformasi, nyatanya ada korapsi di sana sini.' WS Rendra. Sontoloyo series no 23.

2. If no one within PKR is willing to talk on this taboo matter, I will. Now, with people like Rafizi is very much sidelined, I will step up.

3. Even at the risk of being ostracized and looked at in contempt .

4. The PM once said, battling corruption over the last 2 years was his biggest headache.

5. Perhaps this explained why he appeared to have gone soft on corruption.

6. This contradicted his thunderous derision on sakau, at various PKR ceramahs. Before becoming PM of course.

7. Perhaps he has too much historical baggage. He knows many of those who committed KKN personally. Hes now hesitant to carry out full force of law .

8. KKN is the abbreviation for the much despised kolusi, korupsi, nepotism. It's the dreaded penyakit 3 serangkai.

9. The PMs stand on corruption is bewildering as it is astonishing .

10. He says he's not interested in jailing these crooks. As long as the returned all, some a miniscule amount?

11. Clever and artful lawyers will explain the dissapeance of the rationale behind punishment then.

12. In discussing this interesting topic,I am reminded of the story about justice Bao. (Bao zheng).

13. Bao zheng atau juga di kenali sebagai Bao gong dibawah dinasti song. Dia dikewnali kerana kejujuran dan uprightness nya.

14. Dia di lantik sebagai prefect( gabenor atau mb sekarang) di ibu kota song, kaifeng.

15. Kerana keberanian serta uprightness nya membela petani dan rakyat miskin menentang kezaliman dan penindasan , dia digelar justice Bao atau Bao qingtian.

16. Yang paling diperangi nya adalah pegawai2 tinggi yang korap.

17. Anda tentu ingat, dalam tv series, watak nya nampak hitam.

18. Mula nya saya pun heran macam mana hitam. Sekarang saya tahu dia di make up hitam sebagai simbol impartiality Dan tidak terkesan oleh biases, emosi serta prejudices.

19. Kes yang nak saya ceritakan dikenali orang sebagai the civet cat case.

20. Dalam satu lawatan ke county, Bao didatangi seorang pemuda yang memberitahu Bao bahawa ibu pemuda mahu berjumpa Bao. Pemuda memberitahu bahawa ibu nya dianiayai selama 20.tahun.

21. When Bao met the lady,the lady proved that she is actually the empress dowager and real mother to the reigning emperor .

22. When she gave birth to the infant crown prince,the fake empress dowager substituted the infant with a civet cat. She told the emperor , she gave birth to a male crown prince.

23. The fake empress dowager then conspired with a minister, had the palace of the real empress dowager burnt down.

24. But the lady managed to escape and lived in the humble dwelling in the county .

25. The lady asked Bao to take legal action against 2 people.

26. Against the emperor for failing in his filial piety and against the fake empress dowager and her conspirator for causing her grief for 20 years .

27. The story about the civet cat may be fictionalized and embellished.

28. It established 2 inviolable principles.

(A) No matter how long justice takes place, it must be done.

(B) The law must be applied on whoever, no matter how high their stature is.

29. We can say that justice delayed is justice denied and justice delayed indefinitely is justice denied indefinitely.

30. In modern times, it was lord Denning who made famous the statement, be ye ever so high, the law is above you .

31. The 2 inviolable principles should be the launching pad for the PM to start his vigilant battles and war on corruption.

32. I am comforted at the thought that corruption, no matter if committed a long time ago, will result in punishment to the Corruptors.

33. That means those who committed corruption during the previous administrations, BN or PN will face the music. Punishment to them, would be a deterrent to would be corruption crooks now and in future.

34. Unfortunately the deterrence is removed if prison sentence is removed and offenders need to pay a portion of the plundered sum

35. The principle that the law will be applied on an offender no matter how high ones social stature is, also gives us much comfort. If applied strictly and with absolute impartiality.

36. Yay! That would include the patricians and plebeians. Peasants and landlords - all can be dragged.

37. In practice, all politicians, judges, government servants, generals - semua can kena .

38. Imagine if the PM in a fit of absent mindedness or in a fit of flared temper, orders a lifestyle and account audit on these people.

39. Many of us plebeians would like to know for instance, how come a son of an ex PM can own a Ferrari.

40. The point is to put the fear of God into the hearts of these people. Why not confiscate also their property?

41. That's why I am puzzled as to why the PM said, we are not interested to jail these offenders. We want our money.

42. I am not going to confine myself to discussing the rationale for punishment to reasons like deterrence, incapacitation, reparation all that jazz. That will be in part 2 of this article.

An UMNO politician and his silly remark. Sontoloyo series no 22.

1. Tuan majisteret labi minta hospital yang employ Dr labu bayar ganti rugi.

2. Typical of politisyen UMNO segera menyalahkan pihak lain kerana kepingcangan yang di buat sendiri.

3. Doctor2 ini respond kepada isyarat2 pasaran.

4. Mereka berhijrah ketempat gaji tinggi, persekitaran kerja yang lebih baik, peluang maju dalam kerjaya tidak ditetukan oleh birokrat2.

5. Bukan kerana mereka kurang patriotik' tapi kepentingan perut dan minda menangguk mereka

6. Seorang politisyen UMNO mendesak Singapore bayar ganti rugi kerana poach doktor Malaysia.

7. Tindakan tersebut ibarat membuka pekong ddada.

8. But then what can you expect from a mediocre UMNO politician? Yang keluar Dari lubang bawah, keluar ikut mulut.

9 . Kenyataan dangkalnya membuat kita melihat sistem kesihatan kita dengan Lebih rapi. Dan kita akan jumpa banyak shit

10. Klu doktor2 berkerja di Singapore, bukan kah itu membayangkan bahawa sistem khidmat kesihatan kita defective?

11. Mungkin, saya ulang, mungkin tahap penggajian tidak baik, mungkin persekitaran kerja tidak bagus atau mungkin peluang maju jaya dalam kerjaya gelap.

12. Bukan kita nak adakan ' masat centre' untuk doktor lelaki atau aerobics dan rhumba centre untuk doktor perempuan -tapi keseluruhan sistem kesihatan harus di revamped radically.

13. The idea is to show more appreciation to our doctors .

14. Tapi celaka nya, yang menentukan architectural set up khidmat kesihatan kita ia sang birokrat2 di ibu pejabat.

15. ' Berokrat2' inilah yang bermain dengan masa depan para doktor.

16. Ada satu aspek sinister pada luahan politisyen UMNO ini.

17. Kebarangkalian besar, doktor2 yang berkerja di Singapore adalah bangsa Cina.

18.. kebarangkalian tersebut memberi UMNO alasan untuk menyembalangkan orang Cina dan menuduh mereka kurang patriotik'.

19. Hobi UMNO ialah mengajak orang melayu memusuhi orang Cina. Diatas prejudis tersebut bolehlah UMNO menampakkan dirinya hero filem Tamil.

20. It's all political. UMNO is always out to score political points at the expense of communal unity. It's agenda to push up Malay hegemony is always there.

21. You can be sure, this kind of issue will be feedstock for the Malay supremacists in UMNO, Mahathir and the KKK elements in bersatu .

22 . Jalan fikir politisyen UMNO seperti ini adalah disturbing pada kita. Negara2 Arab banyak yang entice nurses kita yang rupawan berkerja di negara mereka. Adakah mereka akan didesak membayar compensation?

23. Mulut celupar moronic UMNO politician akan menyukarkan hubungan Malaysia dengan negara2 lain.

24. Singapura pula memanglah dilihat sebagai during dalam daging oleh UMNO. Jadi bila issue doctors ini terjadi, UMNO akan tidak melepaskan peluang mengutuk Singapore.

25. Nampaknya iri hati dengan kemajuan singapura akan sentiasa menjadikan UMNO ber-isiu dengan Singapore.

26. Menyalahkan orang lain adalah stock in trade UMNO.

27. Dalam PRU15, UMNO kalah teruk tapi tidak boleh menyalahkan DAP.

28. Sekarang, kerana bergabung dengan PH, UMNO sudah menyediakan alasan mengapa ia akan kalah teruk dalam PRU16.

29. Ia adalah preemptive blame placing. Kali ini kerana bersekongkol dengan DAP.

30. Kerana kononya UMNO dah jadi umdap.

31. Tarik NAFAS panjang dan mengucap. Itu pembohongan UMNO lagi.
