Do We Need To Beg For Bail?

Update:-
A lawyer answered that this case is a non-bailable offence but it is normally granted.

It is stress that many sodomy cases go on in Malaysia and many are released on bail. So if Anwar's sodomy case is not politically motivated then bail should be granted just like any others.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The judiciary system in Malaysia is no longer practicing the true democratic and professional practice of law. I also include the Bar Council to be blamed for the continue sliding for they dare not stand and fight against it. They may have walk to Putra Jaya but what is the real action they take to dismantle and make good to our judiciary system.

Tomorrow we will have the answer as to whether our judicial system is at its best or worst.

Anwar Ibrahim will be charged according to all the news reports. The question is whether he will be granted bail. Many blog entries and public are either saying that Anwar will not be granted bail or are appealing that bail be granted.

We are assuming that he will be charged for sodomy and for such cases bail should be allowed. Why are the public so concern that bail will not be granted, because they have no confidence in our judiciary system and the judiciary are beholden to the people in power.

The judge presiding over this case must take action according to the rules of law and must not be swayed or intimidated by any parties on his judgement. Do we need to beg for bail if Anwar is charged? If the judge does not grant bail, he must provide a very good reason for doing so.

The burden of proof lies with the prosecutors and Anwar is innocent until proven guilty.

What is the standard of our judiciary system? We shall have the answer by tomorrow.
