Najib do not have to spend time in prison awaiting trial - but about 17,000 have to? NOT JUST? REFORMS needed.

Najib, Rosmah, Musa Aman, Irwan were rich enough to post bail and walk off without having to spend any time in prison as remand prisoners until their trial( and subsequent appeal) was over. BUT...

In 2017, statistics suggest that 29.8%(17,663) of those in Malaysian prisons are 'pre-trial/remand prisoners - How long will they have to spend in prison? And, if they are found to be innocent after their trial, a GREAT INJUSTICE. In Malaysia, there is even NO CRIMINAL COMPENSATION scheme, that will mean people who have 'wrongly deprived of their liberty' will receive some form of monetary compensation...Maybe, we should have this scheme.

In detention, what happens to their families and this include children? 

Now after sometime in detention, these 'innocent' people will readily be willing to even plead guilty even if innocent to just get out of prison. Some may even be in prison for a period longer than what their sentence would be?

FREE all those who have yet to be found guilty, convicted and sentenced - our BAIL procedures need to be reviewed,


Bail has been set at RM2mil in the trial of Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor who has pleaded not guilty to 17 charges of money laundering involving about RM7mil at the Sessions Court here Thursday (Oct 4).
Former premier Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has settled his RM3.5mil bail imposed by the Sessions Court for 25 charges of graft and money laundering linked to 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB)

Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi was released from custody at about 12.50pm today, after paying the first instalment of his RM2 million bail imposed by the Sessions Court.

Najib Razak and former treasury secretary-general Tan Sri Dr Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah were charged at the Sessions Court here today with six counts of criminal breach of trust (CBT) involving over RM6.6 billion of government funds. The court allowed RM1 million bail in two sureties to each accused and ordered for them to surrender their international and diplomatic passports to the court.

TOO many POOR people are languishing in jail in Malaysia even before their trial is over, even before being convand even before they are sentenced.

In 2017, statistics suggest that 29.8%(17,663) of those in Malaysian prisons are 'pre-trial/remand prisoners - and this is shocking and most unjust...

Now, remember that everyone is PRESUMED INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY in a court of law...hence, 29.8% of 'innocent' persons are languishing in prison...waiting for their trial to end..

A Guilty person is more likely to 'PLEAD Guilty' for a plea of guilt will result in lowering the sentence significantly...so those, who choose to 'plead not guilty' may really be innocent?

Of course, those facing the death sentence have no such option - their plea of guilt will not be accepted - and trial will go on. The reason is to be SAFE - as courts want to be very confident convicting anyone, who if convicted, will be sentenced to DEATH - but how many of such cases could there be? 

So, majority may be there just because they cannot afford to pay 'BAIL', and have no one willing or with the capacity of posting Bail.

BAIL in Malaysia - If the bail is set at RM10,000 - you need to have this RM10,000, put it into a bank account, from which you cannot take out, until the trial is OVER. In a country where the Minimum Wage is RM1,000, how many people can set aside that much cash for Bail for another....and there is a RISK if the said accused runs away, you lose it all...

Maybe the BAIL BOND system should be introduced - that allows one to use their house, land, other assets as security rather than CASH only...

OR maybe, the Bail amount need to be reduced - taking into consideration the economic situation of the accused and their families/frien

WHY HAS THE MALAYSIAN PRISON POPULATION SO HIGH? WHY DID IT RISE SO MUCH SINCE 2002 DURING THE TIME PAK LAH, AND THEN NAJIB WERE PRIME MINISTER?  

What is shocking, is that the number of people in prison has rose significantly from 2002 until now... Badawi was Prime Minister from 2003 until 2009, and thereafter Najib was Prime Minister until GE14....

In 2002, it was 116 out of every 100,000 persons in Malaysia that were in prison. In 2016, it is 180 out of every 100,000 in prison?

Do we not have sufficient Judges to have speedy trials? 

OR is the increasing prison population because of some 'corrupt practice' - those who supply food could be making a lot of money? 

Something very wrong when our Malaysian prison population is so high....and our pre-trial/remand prisoners make up about 30% of the prison population..

Cost per prisoner is about RM35-RM40 per day - much monies can be saved with a lower prison population... A minimum wage worker has so much less to sustain himself/herself and family?

 

 

 

Pre-trial/remand prison population: trend

The table below gives an indication of the recent trend in the pre-trial/remand prison population. The final row shows the latest figures available.

It consists of the number of pre-trial/remand prisoners in the prison population on a single date in the year (or the annual average) and the percentage of the total prison population that pre-trial/remand prisoners constituted on that day.

The final column shows the pre-trial/remand population rate per 100,000 of the national population.

It should be noted that the number of pre-trial/remand prisoners fluctuates from day to day, month to month and year to year. Consequently the above figures give an indication of the trend but the picture is inevitably incomplete.
The pre-trial/remand population rate is calculated on the basis of the national population total. All national population figures are inevitably estimates but the estimates used in the World Prison Brief are based on official national figures, United Nations figures or figures from other recognised international authorities. 

Female prison population: trend

The table below gives an indication of the trend in the female prison population. The final row shows the latest figures available.
It consists of the number of female prisoners in the prison population on a single date in the year (or the annual average) and the percentage of the total prison population that female prisoners constituted on that day.
The final column shows the female prison population rate per 100,000 of the national population.

The number of female prisoners fluctuates and so the above figures give an indication of the trend but the picture is inevitably incomplete.
The female prison population rate is calculated on the basis of the national population total. All national population figures are inevitably estimates but the estimates used in the World Prison Brief are based on official national figures, United Nations figures or figures from other recognised international authorities.
(If the rate were calculated on the basis of the number of females in the national population it would of course be approximately double the figure in the final column).
