SENTENCING SUSPECTS

1. I am mystified.

2. I believe that wrongdoers should be tried by a court and sentenced to jail, fine or caned.

3. What I notice now is punishment for alleged wrongdoing being meted out by investigators.

4. Investigators now seem to make their own judgment and carrying out punishment.

5. People, organisations have their funds frozen, their businesses closed, their books seized and they or the owners of organisations are detained in lockups.

6. Usually no charges are made in the courts for a long period of time. Or they may be released after detention and no charges made.

7. When businesses premises are seized or closed employees lose their jobs. Are these employees guilty because their employers are presumed guilty? Must they be punished also.

8. They have to live. Now they have no job. Is this justice? Is this the rule of law?

9. I am mystified.
