Anwar Ibrahim has been arrested over allegations of sodomy after being accused by a former male aide 2 weeks ago.
It is sad that the Malaysian government is so corrupt and has been strongly fighting against Anwar’s rise to political leadership. He has recently led the oppositions to unprecedented victories over several states from the current ruling party during the recent general elections.
10 years ago, Anwar Ibrahim was accused of the same allegation of sodomy and corruption, and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. However, the charges of sodomy was dropped due to insufficient evidence and he was later released from prison after spending 6 years there.
During his time in prison, he was also allegedly mistreated by the ex-police chief through beatings.
With his current momentum in politics, its no surprise that this recent accusation is aimed at thwarting his comeback. He has also previously seeked protection from the Turkish embassy for fears that he would be wrongly accused again and imprisoned unjusticely.
Let’s hope that Malaysians have a glimmer of faith in the justice system that is already failing in the eyes of the people.
