US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has been told by Malaysia not to interfere in the legal matter involving opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim.
Malaysian Foreign Minister Rais Yatim has accused Ms Rice of meddling in Malaysia’s domestic affairs after she urged Malaysia to follow the rule of law in dealing with the sodomy accusation against Anwar.
The two officials were in Singapore for the ASEAN conference when they made their feelings felt.
The war of words began earlier this month when a US State Department spokesman made similar comments about Anwar, provoking a letter of complaint from Rais to Rice.
In response Ms Rice has dismissed Malaysia's claim that the Anwar case is an internal affair, saying: 'The United States doesn't recognize that it is simply internal affairs when a case of this kind comes up. We want to see transparency and for rule of law to be completely followed. We are always going to speak up on human rights and political cases.'
Anwar has rejected accusations of sodomy made by a male aide, saying they are another part of a conspiracy to keep him from seizing power in Malaysia.

Surely we have enough problems. The US needs to mind it’s own business. I hope she doesn’t ask Jimmy Carter for advice.

bullshit baffles brains
the lil liar preaches from his cocoon that ooh those back Americans can never do anything right. This futile writer continues with his raging rants about his baseless dogma. I join the long list of educated readers who understand the pathetic rants of this feeble individual. Go on Mr. Rant give us some more negativity if that is what gives you hope. Maybe once in your useless life you can acknowledge the great achievements of all those tyrants you are too afraid to talk about because of your prejudice. Long live Galljbaj the hypocrit!

Apa Dah?- Hding The Truth. or what
If cannot solve one murder case within a year, how can the legal system of Malaysia survive if 100 murderers running around? One small sodomy case also merry go round and what more the rest? Get Saifull to lay his charges and DSAI to defend himself and finish off the case. Ding Done here and there for the world to laugh at Malaysia. Court cases are way behind time and wasting public funds.

How about the Chinese and Indian minority citizens in Malaysia who are doing the hard work in making Malaysia a progressive country. Did Ms.Rice forgot to mention them,to ask the malaysian government about treating them as malaysian citizens not as Chinese or Indians. Well,maybe next time,Ms.Rice,when you all meet up again.

Judiciary System is Not only a Joke but Shame to be Abused by Lawyers & Judges
1) Plaintiff dragging on Case Management for 3 years.
2)Defendants abused continuously and repeatedly lawyer after lawyers.
3)Bar Council holding explanation from Plaintiff and discharge complaints.
4) Lawyers paid but distorting pleading and dragging.
5) Latest lawyer get paid but idling and not attending court. Used Police to chase clients out of the office when he cannot provide copy of their job. But Police idle when Clients were assaulted by the lawyer.
General Hospital provided a report of Well when admitted and WELL when discharge when symptoms remained and some even worse.
6) Judge order client to do the job of the lawyer, or, will ground the Plaintiff the merit of going ahead without the Defendant.
7) Judge did not force Lawyer to explain or apply for discharge. But forcing Client to continue with or to discharge lawyer.
8) Court allowed lawyer an application with false statement but court record cannot be traced!
Ms Rice, Stop telling Malaysia to have Justice and Human Rights as these are NOT in their minds!

rais vs rice?
Am I the only one who found the Rais to Rice statement funny? I bet the writer wrote that sentence just so s/he could say that.
Said Rais to Rice. Genius.

Freedom????
Malaysia is scary at times! Bloggers can not blog without being arrested. Policeman are very corrupt. Rice is just being realistic and truthful. Malaysia does need to be lawful. Swinging with the Orangatun does seem safer at times. The way we tolerate how Malaysia treats its citizens I wonder what the country is putting in the rice.

Double Standards
Malaysia has in the past meddled in the affairs of the Palestinians. Y. Beruk Khairy has even led demos and his mob burnt the US and Isreal flags. So, what is Rais on about? If justice was seen to be done to Anwar, who would pass such remarks? Wake up BN and clean up your act!

What I has to say is : (1)Bad Record in the PAST (2) Short sighted and Inexperienced Advisor on the past. These all lead to today result !!! I would strongly suggested our PM to change the entire Advisor Panel for better Malaysia future. Change it now while it is still early.

So Did Me Case
There is no proof only poof poof against DSAI. Wasting everyone’s time and money. Show proof of charges and speed up the case.It is only a sodomy case and not another of the Alatuala murder case. Another 3-5 years to solve. Maybe Rice should send in CSI and FBI to nail the case. The judicial system truly is a laughing stock to the world.
