I am writing this in response to Dr Jacob George's letter Mongolian murder leave Najib out of it. Let me first ask the good doctor a few questions. Is he a paid lackey of the government or just a very nave boy scout?

Yes the 'certain political leaders' mentioned are definitely out to destroy Najib Razak's reputation but we must look at the bigger picture, my dear doctor. Every angle must be investigated so that justice shall prevail and if that means questioning the deputy prime minister, then so be it. It is in no way implied for certain that he is guilty.

Let the police do their job without fear or favour. If one is so concerned about bringing injustice upon 'innocent third parties' then where were they when 'innocent third parties' Sukma Dermawan, Mohd Munwar Anees and S Nallakarupan were arrested for something that the then DPM was accused of?

Where were you when our justice system became a laughing stock of the world, when clearly questionable evidence was admitted to court and the then DPM charged and found guilty? Double standards of integrity, wouldn't you say, so my dear doctor?

Surely we must remember 1988, don't we? It wasn't just only about when Rick Astley and Kylie Minogue ruled the pop charts, it was also when the judiciary lost its independence when good and honest judges were removed just because they wouldn't bow to political pressure. If the judiciary was left intact, well clear of interference from the ruling powers, then the then DPM wouldn't have been jailed.

So can one blame us - the ordinary Malaysian people - for not trusting the current justice system? Are we 100 percent confident in our current courts and justice system and if they are indeed independent and able to prosecute anyone that commits a crime regardless of political position, connection or affiliation?

While we are at it about justice, how about justice for the anti-toll hike protestors who were beaten even when they did not fight back? How about justice for the man on the street who has no where else to air his grievances? Well?
