Today's star newspaper, I noticed two articles covering two separate murder cases that took place years ago.
One involved a carpenter/shop assistant who murdered his lover, and the other a successful businessman accused of killing his nephew with the help of two employees and his maid as a witness.
If you can't guess the outcome, I'll tell you- the poor guy gets death and the rich guy acquitted. The worst part is, he got away because he just simply didn't turn up to be served! What a joke, all he had to do was go live abroad for a few years and then the courts threw out his case.
If you're Malaysian you'd agree that this comes as no surprise to you, after all we're boleh-land. Can do is the attitude most Asians take when we need to get the job done. Can do means you'd better have the cash to put your money where your mouth is.
In the headlines today we also have a very prominent figure standing up to charges of fraud against the government. I can't predict the future, but as a Malaysian I already know the outcome.
