Malaysia's own Judge Dredd!!

I read this article from Malaysiakini!

Judge Zainal Abidin Kamarudin on Friday, who ordered sales promoter Muhammad Syafiq Abd Wahab, 20, to be caned 10 times in the court premises for gang robbery.The caning would be carried out on July 15, in front of the offender’s parents. Additionally, the judge imposed a sentence of 200 hours of community service.

The Bar Council has slammed a Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court judge who intends to personally whip an offender after delivering a sentence against him.

“The judge cannot be the executioner. That is the basic principle of criminal law,” said Bar Council president Ragunath Kesavan.

What has our judiciary come to?!?

I this because UMNO has been handpicking useless, unqualified but UMNO friendly people to be in a position of authority???

How will we ever get justice in Malaysia???
