    "Going to jail I consider a sacrifice I make for the people of this country. My struggle will continue, wherever I am sent and whatever is done to me. I pledge, and I will not be silenced, I will fight on for freedom and justice and I will never surrender." - Anwar, 10 February 2015. 16 May 2018: Anwar Ibrahim is released from prison and receives a full royal pardon from the King of Malaysia. This was an astonishing turn of events for the former Deputy Prime Minister who was serving a second prison term for sodomy, a charge that Anwar has always refuted. For Mark Trowell QC, who observed the criminal trials of Anwar Ibrahim, the release was "as historic as the release of Nelson Mandela in South Africa." Read about the dramatic twists and turns in the prosecution of Anwar Ibrahim, from when he was first charged with sodomy in September 1998 to his vindication 20 years later. This book covers not only the trials and prosecution Anwar was subjected to, and which led to the guilty verdict and sentence of five years' imprisonment in February 2015, it also recounts the changing political tide sweeping through Malaysia that culminated in his historic release in 2018. Mark Trowell also presents an exclusive interview with Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. In a wide-ranging discussion, held in May 2018, Anwar reveals much about his time in prison, his new relationship with Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and his vision for Malaysia.Cover -- Title -- Copyright -- Contents -- Foreword -- Introduction -- The Release (2015-2018) -- 01 In conversation with Anwar Ibrahim (31 May 2018) -- 02 The final twist -- The Prosecution (2008-2015) -- The Trials: September 2008-January 2012 -- 03 Sodomy I: The first episode -- 04 Sodomy II: Anwar charged again -- 05 The international reaction -- 06 Pre-trial skirmishes and start of trial -- 07 Continuing fight for disclosure during trial -- 08 The affair -- 09 Was it Anwar's DNA? -- 10 Judge says case to answer -- 11 Defence case begins -- prosecution applies to reopen case -- 12 Final submissions -- 13 The acquittal: 9 January 2012 -- 14 The saga continues -- The Final Play: March 2014-February 2015 -- 15 Government wins 13th general election -- 16 Attempts to disqualify prosecutor -- 17 A week of action -- 18 Anwar convicted and sentenced to five years in prison -- 19 Karpal convicted of sedition -- 20 Failure to expunge "homosexual" remark from record -- 21 "A good lawyer dies in the saddle" -- 22 Sedition crackdown to silence dissent -- 23 The final appeal: Federal Court of Malaysia -- 24 The final verdict: 10 February 2015 -- 25 Interview with Anwar Ibrahim (9 July 2014) -- Timeline of events (1998-2018) -- Key players in the prosecution of Anwar Ibrahim -- Acknowledgements -- About the author"Going to jail I consider a sacrifice I make for the people of this country.

    Demanding to be served : holding governments to account for improved access

    Get PDF
    This paper presents an overview of the constitutional-legal provisions on access to services in developing countries and shows that rights to public services are not justice-able. It further documents the performance record to show that governments'response to such a weak accountability framework has been predictable - poor performance in service delivery with little accountability. The paper also shows that while there has not been a shortage of ideas on how to deal with this problem, most approaches have failed because they could not diagnose and deal with the underlying causes of government dysfunction. The paper presents an analytical perspective on understanding the causes of dysfunctional governance and the incentives and accountability regimes that have the potential to overcome this dysfunction. The paper also documents practices that have shown some promise in improving access. The paper then integrates ideas from successful practices with conceptual underpinnings for good governance and presents a citizen-centric (rights based) governance approach to access. It further explores how such a citizen empowerment and government accountability framework can be implemented in practice, especially in the context of developing countries, where most governments still operate in a command and control environment with little or no orientation to serve their people. It also presents ideas on how to overcome resistance to such reforms.National Governance,Public Sector Corruption&Anticorruption Measures,Governance Indicators,Public Sector Expenditure Analysis&Management,Banks&Banking Reform

    Pakistan’s water apportionment accord of 1991: 25 years and beyond

    No full text
    The apportionment of waters of the Indus River System between the provinces of Pakistan is widely hailed as a historic agreement. This agreement (herein referred to as the Accord) was signed into effect in 1991, just over 25 years ago. The Accord lacks a clearly stated objective and hence it is difficult to review the Accord against its objective. This paper presents a detailed thematic review of the Accord and interprets the literature and data sets that have become available over the last 25 years. Although the Accord leaves room for interpretation, which is often biased to a particular perspective, an obvious starting point that has been highlighted in the literature is to improve water accounting in the Indus basin and to clarify and document the Operating Rules. Over the next 25 years, demographic change, socioeconomic change, and climate change in the Indus Basin will place this Accord under increased scrutiny.<br/

    Logic programming based information management tools for hypermedia systems

    No full text
    The availability of a large amount of on-line information has created a pressing problem of its maintenance and usability. This thesis presents an open architecture of a general framework, knowledge based hypermedia (kbh), in which a hypermedia system and a knowledge based system (kbs) are loosely coupled together. By adopting such a heterogeneous framework and an open architecture approach we aim to attack two problems. Firstly, to overcome a limitation of logic programming by providing loose coupling to conventional language applications which allows the power of logic programming techniques to be exploited for kbs development without undue consideration of interface questions. Secondly, by coupling a kbs to a hypermedia system, to provide domain independent kbs tools to provide additional facilities for managing the information stored in the hypermedia system. This thesis presents a range of logic programming based kbs tools for managing information in hypermedia. The tools allow non-typical styles of presenting information in hypermedia systems and make the available information more applicable and more understandable. The kbs tools concern ways to assimilate and retrieve documents in hypermedia systems. A semi-automatic method to assimilate new documents is proposed. The method is rather general, allowing the documents to be labelled with a proof tree generated in an interactive session with the kbs. The method of labelling then allows retrieval of documents according to a natural generalisation ordering based on this label and obviates the need to explicitly add new link information when new documents are added. A key benefit of kbh is that it offers a better environment for understanding on-line information than kbs or hypermedia individually. Particularly, the newly developed tools for information management offer a basis for solving disorientation, cognitive overhead and other navigational problems of hypermedia systems. These tools also provide active document features and an intelligent database retrieval environment which enhance the usability of hypermedia systems. In the reverse direction the presence of hypermedia increases the behavioural expressiveness of a kbs. The applicability of kbh and the newly developed tools are demonstrated in a legal domai
