MP SPEAKS | Riza Aziz's release a mind-boggling decision
MP SPEAKS | In any criminal prosecution, any criminal charge preferred against any offender is, in actual fact, being brought on behalf of the people.
Yes, the state via the public prosecutor would arraign the offender in court.
But such a prosecution has never been intended for personal ventures or personal vendetta.
The state via the office of the public prosecutor, in essence, represents the people on the street.
But, lo and behold, what has really happened to the criminal charges brought against Riza Aziz?
The suspect who was duly charged by the Pakatan Harapan government, only to be temporarily discharged by the court at the request of the public prosecutor in the Perikatan Nasional government.
Is this really a joke?
Yes, laundered money has to be duly returned but the offender must also be severely punished within the full force of the law.
