A US official said Thursday that the arrest of Malaysia's main opposition leader on sodomy allegations raises "serious questions and concerns."
Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Scot Marciel told reporters that the United States is following the case of Anwar Ibrahim closely and hopes Malaysia will "resolve the case in a way that enhances confidence in impartial rule of law" in the country.
The accusation against Anwar comes as the Malaysian government struggles to deal with growing dissatisfaction with the ruling coalition, which suffered election losses in March to a resurgent opposition. Anwar has vowed to build on that victory and topple the government late this year.
Anwar faced an accusation of sodomy 10 years ago. He has dismissed the latest allegations as a fabrication intended to halt his rise to power.
Sen. Joe Biden, Democratic chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said he was "shocked and disheartened" by Anwar's arrest, which "appears to be motivated by political considerations.
"Biden said in a statement that the treatment of Anwar a decade ago "greatly discredited Malaysia in the eyes of the world community." Current Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, he said, should "not repeat the mistakes of the past. I urge him to drop this political attack on a respected opposition figure and commit himself to rule of law and good governance in Malaysia." - AP
I found these best damn comments:
I heard over the radio that Najib ask the police to treat Anwar with respect! Man! With this comment: Najib totally lost all my respect for him! It's better he keep his mouth shut! The whole world know how much he hates him and he dare to say that just to gain popularity!
