From Malaysia Today

Yesterday the Federal Court postponed its decision on the Anwar Ibrahim appeal for additional discovery by nine days to January 29th. This forces a one-week delay in the start of the sodomy trial to February 2.

The Federal Court’s decision came as a surprise given its Monday morning rejection of a defense request to postpone today’s hearing.

It has also led some observers to the conclusion that the Federal government, seen to be the unseen hand behind the prosecution of Anwar, has flinched.

Since early December the Court has been seen to be on a fast track to start the trial on January 25th. Due process in the final appeal for discovery was almost cast aside in the interests of expediency and the scheduling today’s hearing was also regarded as fast tracking an appeals process which has favoured the prosecution at every stage.

CENTURIES back, tribes in Arabia were said to have each consulted a gathering of elders and community leaders for guidance in making decisions for the people. The use of such a council, called the “shura”, was meant to act as a congenial forum for decisions to be made in an air of mutual respect and responsibility. The shura formed one of the key characteristics of governance in the region during the early Islamic period, and even before the religion rose to prominence.

There was an interesting development in Penang last week when the Pakatan Rakyat state administration formed the first ever shura gathering for any government in the country. (more…)

Menteri dan mana-mana ahli politik terutama dari Umno yang tidak mahir tentang undang-undang pembangunan petroleum dinasihatkan supaya menutup mulut kerana ia boleh mengelirukan rakyat berkaitan pertikaian wang royalti antara kerajaan negeri dan pusat khususnya dalam tuntutan Kelantan sekarang.

Sehubunag itu, bekas ketua hakim negara Tun Mohd Salleh Abas menyarankan kepada mereka yang tidak terlibat dalam bidang perundangan supaya berhenti bercakap hal tuntutan royalti yang dibuat kerajaan Kelantan kerana rakyat bukannya bodoh.

“Lagi banyak mereka bercakap hal ini, makin jelaslah kedangkalan mereka terhadap undang-undang negara ini,” katanya. (more…)

Mahkamah Persekutuan menangguhkan keputusan rayuan permohonan Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim untuk mendapatkan dokumen pendakwaan dan DNA Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan kepada 29 Januari ini.

Perbicaraan berkenaan sepatutnya bermula hari ini untuk selama sebulan di Mahkamah Tinggi Kuala Lumpur.

“Selepas mempertimbangkan hujah, kami tidak dapat memberikan keputusan, petang ini,” kata Hakim Besar Malaya, Datuk Arifin Zakaria.

Beliau mengetuai panel tiga hakim mahkamah persekutuan yang juga dianggotai oleh Md Raus Sharif dan Abdull Hamid Embong.

Mahkamah juga memutuskan perbicaraan kes liwat Anwar yang dijadual bermula di Mahkamah Tinggi Kuala Lumpur pada 25 Januari ini ditangguhkan kepada 2 Februari depan.
