The scandal involving a video clip showing a prominent lawyer apparently negotiating the appointment of judges is absolutely ridiculous.
Has corruption in our country become so bad that it's encroaching on our legal system?
Now we're really screwed.
And what's with the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department?
Firstly, whoever who did it isn't going to actually confess to the rest of the world about his misdeeds, innit? Especially if he happens to be a senior judge risking his job, his substantial pay, his reputation and possibly life in prison by doing this. C'mon, I know you're smarter than that. Even if you are a Malay. And fasting.
Secondly, who are you to say that we should not blow this issue out of proportion? Who's at the short end of the stick, you or us? Who are the citizens of the country? Who are the ones paying taxes? Who are the ones whose justice depends on the integrity, fairness and impartiality of the legal system (which, currently, is undoubtedly being abused to give invincibility to some really suspect individuals)? And who's gonna keep the peace and order of the country if not the legal system? You? Datuk Zakaria? Perogol Terung? Who may decide that the best punishment criminals should be sentenced to, actually, is raping them with vegetables.
Indeed, we SHOULD make a big fuss over it. It's such a big issue it makes the word 'big' seem infinitesimal. Whoever says otherwise should be shot.
