Many, including Anwar Ibrahim and now our King, alleges that the administration of justice had been abused resulting in a 'travesty or miscarriage of justice'.
Time has come for a thorough investigation concerning the 2 convictions that led to Anwar Ibrahim being convicted and sentenced to prison.
The persons who fabricated evidence and lied to the court by giving false evidence, which may also include police officers, and other witnesses need all to be investigated, identified and prosecuted if they did wrong.
The prosecutors who failed in their duties - all will now need to be identified and prosecuted for their wrongdoings.
The judges that were 'compromised' - Such judges that allowed external factors affect their judicial functions really ought to be identified and removed...and prosecuted.
They must all be charged and tried in an open court. Internal disciplinary procedures resulting in fines, transfers and resignation(termination) simply will not do - because the people need to know and all accused deserve a fair trial.
Shafee, the special prosecutor, has now been charged for receiving 'dirty money' from Najib, and some alleged breaches of income tax law. That really do not address the issue at all about Anwar's trials, do they? If the allegations are about Anwar's trials, then the charges must be directly related. Some other charges about some other matters really won't do.
Maybe, Shafee did his job as special public prosecutor correctly and as required - after all, it is judges that decide on the guilt or innocence, and all that a prosecutor does is present the case and arguments on behalf of the prosecution, and the accussed lawyers do the same for the accused.
We really do not need anymore such 'dirty' judges, prosecutors and police officers in our administration of justice system...How many others have fallen victim to such persons - how many have been imprisoned (or still in prison including death row?), and how many have been executed?
ANWAR'S PARDON still does not settle the problems?
“He said: I pardoned you not because of the legal allocation under my power alone, but because I am confident you are innocent, Anwar, and there was travesty or miscarriage of justice. I had to do my duty as a King, to stop this injustice towards you since 1998 till 2018....“You know what was my response? ‘Your Majesty, this is a very serious statement from you. You are now saying that the judiciary, attorney general’s prosecution, investigation, was all compromised, to fix me up.’...“He said: Yes, I’m telling you the truth. You want to, you can tell tonight in your lecture,” Anwar told a packed hall at the Corus Hotel. - Malay Mail, 16/9/2018

Anwar may have been pardoned by the Yang Di Pertuan Agung but as we all know, that does not overturn the finding of guilt by the courts.
It matters not what the King believes, as what Anwar has recently mentioned.
It matters not what the King believes, as what Anwar has recently mentioned.
Anwar may make a police report, or some other may do so, which will begin the process of identifying and bringing all these persons to justice.
For Malaysians, this doubt need to be dispelled one way or the other.
Anwar personally may now take the position to let bygones be bygones, and leave the punishment to God BUT personally, for the good of Malaysia, especially our Administration of Justice system, the wrong-doers needed to be identified and made to pay for his crimes.
'LET BYGONES BE BYGONES - I FORGIVE THEM' - Well, then the doubts remain. There were really no wrongdoings, and Anwar's conviction was right. Was the reason why Anwar did not want to pursue to demand actions against 'false' witnesses and 'compromised' judges and prosecutors could be because all these assertions about 'miscarriage of justice' are really false, and all Anwar's allegations was simply just to win favour with the people in his quest to be MP...and maybe later our Prime Minister?
SO YES - a thorough investigation, followed by criminal action against all these witnesses, police officers, prosecutors and judges is a MUST - there is no option.
By the way, Anwar publicly stated what the Kind told him. It really will be good if the King confirms this conversation really did happen, and that is exactly what he said.
REVIEW OF THE JUDGMENTS THAT LED TO CONVICTIONS - not enough?

REVIEW OF THE JUDGMENTS THAT LED TO CONVICTIONS - not enough?
I believe Anwar may be attempting to review the judgments that led to his convictions, and this is GOOD but really this is not good enough...because even a reversal of a guilty conviction really means that the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Anwar is guilty...there will still be doubt as to whether he did what he was alleged to have done.
BUT - the prosecution of persons that gave 'false' evidence, prosecutors that did wrong, and judges that were compromised will once and for all expose the real truth ...
When this happen, I hope Anwar will not do what he did about the case of a former IGP giving him a 'black eye', where before the court gave its judgment, Anwar 'settled'. That judgment would have helped so many others who have been tortured by police and/or enforcement officers in getting justice ...and also may have been the standard that set the kind of compensation/damages that such victims can get.
This time - prosecution and the open trial must be up to the end ...with a Court Judgment ..

Anwar: Agong always believed I was innocent
The incoming PKR president said that this was conveyed to him by the King himself, when Anwar was given a royal pardon, following his release after Pakatan Harapan (PH) won Putrajaya on May 9.
“I am thankful to the Agong because he executes [justice] strictly,” Anwar said at a dialogue session with youths here.
“He said: I pardoned you not because of the legal allocation under my power alone, but because I am confident you are innocent, Anwar, and there was travesty or miscarriage of justice. I had to do my duty as a King, to stop this injustice towards you since 1998 till 2018.
“You know what was my response? ‘Your Majesty, this is a very serious statement from you. You are now saying that the judiciary, attorney general’s prosecution, investigation, was all compromised, to fix me up.’
“He said: Yes, I’m telling you the truth. You want to, you can tell tonight in your lecture,” Anwar told a packed hall at the Corus Hotel.
On May 16, just a week after PH took over, Anwar was granted a full pardon by the Agong at Istana Negara.
The royal pardon meant that Anwar could return to politics immediately, and run for election. Anwar is now seeking to contest the Port Dickson by-election.
He was first charged for sodomy and corruption in 1998 by then and current prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. The Agong was then Tengku Muhammad Faris Petra, Kelantan crown prince.
Anwar was subsequently charged and jailed a second time for sodomy in 2014, during then prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s administration. Sultan Muhammad V was then the deputy Agong.
The former deputy prime minister reiterated today that PH will also continue to uphold and protect Malaysia’s constitutional monarchy system.
“So, for us, for the current PH government, is to abide by the principles of constitutional monarchy, parliamentary democracy. We will maintain the constitutional monarchy system,” he said. - Malay Mail, 16/9/2018
