If the Opposition thinks and believes PDRM were catspaw for “political masters” why does its defacto head Anwar keep resorting to lodgment of police report to counter allegations? Isn’t that unnecessarily providing the excuse for police to commence investigation against the person who lodged the report than the person against whom report is lodged? There’s not much meaning behind making police report. Everyone is lodging police report against the other for all kinds of things to harrass inconvenience and intimidate for political agenda – so the issue of good or bad outcome really boils down to which side of the political divide the person making the report and the other reported against sit! For example in 1998 Anwar lodged a report against Khalid Jafri for accusations in his book 50 Dalil Kenapa Anwar Tidak Boleh Jadi PM. Though police charged the author of the book with malicious publishing of false news, it was the investigations then that led Anwar being charged for Sodomy I.

In Lewis Carroll’s nursery rhyme book “Through the Looking-Glass (1872), Humpty Dumpty discusses semantics and pragmatics with Alice. I don’t know what you mean by ‘glory,’ ” Alice said.
Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. “Of course you don’t—till I tell you. I meant ‘there’s a nice knock-down argument for you!’ ”
“But ‘glory’ doesn’t mean ‘a nice knock-down argument’,” Alice objected.
“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.”
“The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.”
“The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master that’s all.”
Whether what one does is lawful or unlawful then becomes very much on what the Master having power over the interpretation and enforcement of law says it is or is not. It depends on malice, good faith fairness, or reasonableness of law maker enforcer and interpreter. And of course who has power to enforce his will. Often it boils down to as simple as that.
