As we all well know that Anwar has filed a complaint with BPR regarding the fabrication of evidence by Tan Sri Musa and it is now being investigated. And Tan Sri Musa being the Inspector General Police in Malaysia, has also ordered the arrest of Anwar yesterday. This is totally unprofessional. If seen by foreigners, it will become a laughter.
Let's go into whether the arrest of Anwar is legally done or not? I would say no base on a few points:
1. He was given a promise that he will not be arrested until 2pm but he was arrested at 1pm.
2. He was not given the reason of arrest and no warrant was presented.
3. The investigating officer has called him 30mins before the arrest and Anwar mentioned that he will be there at 2pm sharp.
All the above are positive points pointing against the arrest. Next,lets look at the negative points (the explanation given by Musa and CID chief)
1. They said he is a SUSPEK. So, why cannot arrest him? (Why no warrant then?)
2. They are afraid that he is RUNNING AWAY. (Running Away? Ur IO just called and confirmed he is coming. Run to where? )
3. You deploy 15 Police Cars (As if petrol is cheap, and you are telling people not to waste petrol)to wait for him at the main road outside his house. (if you know Anwar is running away and you deploy 15 Cars waiting for him there, and he stupidly let you arrest him. I personally don;t see this running away. He came to let you be arrested.)
So, No wonder US expressed SERIOUS CONCERNS over the arrests and even brilliant Japanese are so fascinated on our police's technologies on detecting people running away. And they would like to learn about that in the coming Asean meeting next week. :)
