Atlantuya Razak Baginda Nirmala

I had a bout of insomnia last night and just could not coax myself to sleep. I had this gnawing feeling inside of me. It dawned upon me that Razak Baginda was never guilty at all in the first place and he had probably wasted a whole lot of his time in jail due to unforeseen circumstances. How can he be guilty in this heinous crime that saw to the death of a Mongolian lass that was painted as someone alluring and a leech for money since he was charged for only abetting the crime? A puppet can only move if so controlled by the actions of the puppeteer. A person is not only innocent until proven guilty by a court of law but the most basic and cleverly overlooked fact is that the charge must be proper. But never mind that and never mind how long the case was painfully prolonged, I believe that there is a clause that a person cannot be tried for the same crime. It would be most unfair then if the 2 former UTK officers were not released as well. Life in jail is no fun.

As for Nirmala Bonat and her former employer Yim, true justice was served with her conviction of 18 years. Yim Pek Ha a housewife was taken back to Kajang Prison pending her application for stay of execution that will be heard today in the High Court. In this 2004 case that gained nationwide interest, for obvious reasons, it was proven beyond reasonable doubt that Yim had repeatedly subjected to acts of torture determined to cause the latter much pain and suffering. I'm pretty sure that this will serve as a strong reminder to all current and future employers not to ill-treat their servants. Not only is it wrong in the eyes of the law but it is also inhuman to carry out such acts. In a dream if Yim had murdered Nirmala or asked someone to cause her to disappear, she may have been released earlier (although it is still wrong but still better than subjecting the poor girl to physical abuse over and over again). A befitting punishment.

Life is controversial.
