Gov't will use DNA bill to neutralise Anwar

I refer to the Malaysiakini report Sodomy case: Court rejects Anwar's objection .

Nov 6 is Anwar Ibrahim's date in court for the second sodomy case. The government of Najib Razak/Umno/BN intends to swiftly convict and jail Anwar. The plan of the government is as follows:

Clause 24 of the DNA Bill prevents contesting DNA evidence in court, however it does not prevent contesting DNA evidence before a case is tried in court. Because of that, the prosecution is withholding the evidence, including DNA evidence, from Anwar's defence team.

Anwar's defence team will see the DNA evidence only in court, when it's already too late to challenge the evidence. Clause 24 also states the DNA evidence is to be considered conclusive. In the context of a trial, what does ‘conclusive’ mean?

It means the DNA evidence has priority and if there is any other evidence that is contrary to the DNA evidence, the contrary evidence is ignored and the accused is convicted solely on the DNA evidence.

In Anwar’s sodomy trial, it means the medical examination that shows Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan (Anwar’s accuser) was not sodomised will be ignored by the court. Doctors learn psychology in medical school and are trained to observe a patient’s behaviour. Doctors can detect when someone is stressed and upset after being sexually assaulted.

A doctor observing Saiful after the alleged forced sodomy noted that Saiful did not behave as someone who had been sexually assaulted. The court will ignore that observation by the doctor. The trial will be before a judge, not a jury, because the government knows that a jury would never ‘sokong’ such a sham trial.

The role of the police will to be to ensure the entire charade goes smoothly, including by suppressing protests against the government's shameful sham trial of Anwar.

The government pretends to be not worried about Anwar, when actually it is terrified of Anwar. That is why the government and others, such as Ezam Mohd Noor, have of late made many disparaging comments about Anwar.

The government hopes the rakyat will believe those comments and not support Anwar. The government fears convicting Anwar as he has a lot of support amongst the rakyat and the government fears the possibility of a ‘people’s power’ revolt such as the one that ended the Marcos regime.

Now you know what the government's plan is. From it’s inception, the DNA Bill has been intended to eliminate Anwar as a politician. What Najib may not be aware of is the DNA Bill has the potential to be used against Najib.

The DNA of Najib can one day be compared with DNA from the bones of Altantuya and if at all there is a match, it is conclusive, uncontestable evidence that Najib is the father of the baby that was inside Altantuya when she was murdered.

When a woman is pregnant, some cells of her baby travel through her bloodstream and go everywhere in her body. That is a medical fact. Now, Najib, do you still love the DNA Bill so much?
