Malaysia’s High Court has acquitted opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim on a charge of sodomising a male aide. Thousands of his supporters gathered outside the courtroom on Monday cheered the verdict, which follows three years of heated skirmishes over the fate of Anwar, who is now poised to challenge Prime Minister Najib Razak at the next election. A guilty verdict would have allowed judges to sentence Anwar to up to 20 years in jail, ending his political career. Opposition activists, civil rights groups and foreign observers had cried foul over the politicised trial. Many doubted the independence of Malaysia’s judiciary, which has long been subject to political pressure from the ruling UMNO party. Anwar called it a conspiracy by Najib and his allies to destroy the opposition. However, the judges ruled Monday that the evidence presented to the court, particularly DNA evidence, wasn’t sufficiently reliable to secure a conviction. And so he walked.

This is a triumph for Anwar’s defence team who had ridiculed the testimony of the accuser, who briefly worked for Anwar’s political campaign in 2008. That was the year when UMNO’s ruling coalition suffered an electoral setback. So when sodomy charges were filed against Anwar, it seemed like a fit-up (or entrapment) by an entrenched political elite. Already, the BN/Umno Regime of Najib Razak is trying to score 'Brownie Points' with Anwar's acquittal. This is the first response from the Regime when questiona about Government interference in the Judiciary arosed, "Not so, the government argued. A criminal case was being heard by an independent court. No interference," Najib insisted. His office was quick off the mark to hail the verdict as a positive development. The judges began reading their verdict at 9:20am, Malaysian time. By 9:41am, a government press release arrived in my inbox, attributable to Communications Minister Rais Yatim.

You can bet the Media Prostitutes like the Newscasters of TV3 like Pang Chin Feh et al, Baradan Kupusamy, The Mother of Journalistic Harlots Joceline Tan of the Star, Utusan Malaysia, NST, Berita Harian etc. and all the gutless MSM journalists aligned to BN/Umno will go full throttle to echo Najibs claim.

Phil Robertson, deputy director of Human Rights Watch’s Asia division best summed it up by stating "Anwar was acquitted on a charge that should have never been brought in the first place. Hopefully this verdict sends a message to the government to put this matter to rest."
