The Sodomy Saga

I'm actually confused and perplexed at the continuing sodomy saga starring our de-facto opposition leader and a uni drop-out. So many accusations and counter-accusations that I'm left wondering who is telling the truth and who is lying.

Take the latest news concerning a leaked medical report. Can someone tell me if this sodomy story is a conspiracy, why did this young man just simply walk into a hospital and asked to be examined? Don't tell me he is so silly to think that the doctor would just believe everything he says? Of course, a doctor would perform the necessary examinations and come to his own conclusion, right?

Therefore, if he is not sodomised but he is part of the plot to fix DSAI up, surely he would be made to go to a doctor who would be "co-operative" to ensure the medical report would be usable and not has a "no sodomy" finding. Why the risk to have to convince a skeptical doctor? Unless what they wanted is a referral by the doctor to go to KLH to make the whole thing more believable and they know that such reports are usually inconclusive?

But if the report is inconclusive from a medical point of view whether a sodomy or assault has indeed taken place, then we can't be saying that a sodomy has not occurred either, I suppose, and it would be left to the KLH doctors to have the final say.

But herein lies the problem. Malaysians no longer trust the various government institutions, including the health department. I feel pretty pissed off to write this because I think Malaysians will be left to speculate, theorize and rely on gossips and blogs no matter the outcome of the investigation and trial, if it comes to that. In short, we may never know the truth.

You see, if this happens in some other countries, the people can rely on professional police investigations and a fair trial to get to the bottom of the case. But in Malaysia, we simply cannot. If DSAI is indeed guilty and is convicted, many, many Malaysians will still think he is innocent because few trust the system. Me included, and if that happens, we might end up as fools blindly throwing support behind a guilty man.

However, as things stand now, the whole case is certainly very fishy with many unseen hands pulling the strings. If DSAI is really innocent and attempts are being made to fix him up, that only confirms that the nation's various institutions have sunk to its lowest level in terms of professionalism and integrity. We will degenerate into a nation with no rule of law (or we are already there).

I really don't know which is worse - whether DSAI is found innocent or guilty when this saga comes to its final conclusion. Do you?
