[FORMER AG TAN SRI ABU TALIB OTHMAN SAID ... ] Sorry, Anwar cannot be allowed in Parliament!

No law or person can give Anwar Ibrahim the right to be in Parliament!

KABOOMMM!!!

This is what former AG Tan Sri Abu Talib Othman said. Even Dewan Rakyat Speaker and the Home Minister have no legal clout to issue order that Anwar be produced in Parliament.

So, to Rafizi Ramli who threatened the government that the Opposition would stage protests should Anwar is not allowed to carry on with his duty as the Opposition Leader, he better learn something about such procedures, or he could join his boss in Sungai Buloh.

And here is another logic:

A lawyer said the request by PKR adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is serving a five-year jail sentence for sodomy, to attend meetings of the Dewan Rakyat, which sits for 20 days from Monday, should not be entertained.

Datuk Khairul Anwar Rahmat, who is chairman of the Malaysian Volunteer Lawyers Association (SukaGuam), said allowing Anwar to attend Dewan Rakyat would be tantamount to a mockery of the judiciary because he had been convicted of a crime.

“An offender who is serving a sentence should not be allowed to attend (Dewan Rakyat) sittings.

“Offenders have never been allowed to do so in the history of the legislature and constitution, not only in the country but also elsewhere in the world.

“I have checked on this. This will clearly be an insult,” he told Bernama.

Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) School of Social Sciences lecturer Prof Dr Ahmad Atory Hussain agreed that allowing Anwar to attend Dewan Rakyat sittings as an MP would be showing disrespect for the judiciary.

He said there was no question of his rights having been violated as he had been given ample opportunities to defend himself before the court found him guilty.

“This is not a question of whether he is an opposition party leader. If other MPs were in the same situation, they should also not be allowed to attend meetings of the Dewan Rakyat,” he said.

Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) geostrategist Prof Dr Azmi Hassan said there was no urgent or critical necessity for Anwar to attend Parliament, and it appeared there was an ulterior motive for this.

He said the presence of Anwar would trigger massive political polemics.

Disallowing Anwar to attend Parliament was neither a violation of human rights nor, for that matter, persecution as alleged by his supporters, he said.
