This is in response to your article in Malaysiakini dated 22 Jan 2012 titled ' Who pays for appeal, Saiful or taxpayer?'

I'm a taxpayer as well. I think an appeal is a fair remedy. Irrespective of whether one is charged under Section 377A or 377B, carnal intercourse committed against the order of nature is an offence in Malaysia.

He was charged under Malaysian not Australian Law. I quote Section 377A "Whoever voluntarily commits carnal intercourse against the order of nature shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 20 years, and shall also be liable to whipping".

Let's not put the cart before the horse. The trial judge only commented that there is no corroborative evidence. He did not suggest that penetration did not take place.

Unlike a civil suit, being charged under the Penal Code the AG is the right authority to appeal. How much it costs or how long it takes is immaterial.

Let the courts decide and not The Bar Council nor the media. Justice must not only be done but must be seen to be done.

I dare you to post my comments. I am ready to accept any logical criticism/comments.
