Moral or Legal Rights?


Did the Barisan government created a kind of legal or moral "Rights" that was granted to the 'selected species being'?

According to Alang Bendahara, it was ironical that the motorcyclist was in the wrong as he was supposed to use the motorcycle lane. The caption was photographed by Zulkarnain Ahmad of NST.

With this picture, is it sufficient evidence for the police and the public prosecutor to initiate criminal action? Would the authority act in accordance with the duty and responsibility mandated by the legal system? Are we living in an age of uncivilization or was it a clash of civilization?

The rule of law said the officers "Ought" and must act in accordance with the legal norm and apply appropriate sanctions as stipulated in the legal system, failure which, it thus post the question of the validity of our law and judicial system - this is in accordance with HLA Hart's Concept of Law and Hans Kelsen's Pure Theory on the validity of law.

UPDATED: NST April 28th, 2007: Police had identified the road bully and will call them soon for questioning.
