Sodomy ll: Anwar Loses Final Appeal

To the man in the street, the decision of the Federal court in dismissing opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim's appeal to strike out his sodomy charge did not come as a surprise. With a former UMNO man as the head of the judiciary, Anwar has no chance to win any appeal.
It must not be forgotten that Zaki was parachuted to the Federal court without serving a single day in the High Court and the Court of Appeal and his subsequent appointment as the Chief Judge was to ensure that any legal proceedings against the govt or in its interest would be decided based on the wishes of its political master.
From the way the Judiciary has been upending judicial precedents , there is no doubt that the UMNO govt is hell bent in wanting to put Anwar away for good. But that could be its fatal mistake because in place of the incarcerated Anwar will be 1000 other Anwars to replace him.
