Judges making a mockery of law<\/p>\n
From Media Indonesia<\/p>\n
Upholding the rule of law in this country is a tiring and
\nunenviable job. Legal decisions have become in-demand commodities
\nthat can be ordered at the will of a "client".<\/p>\n
Money and power here make the laws bend, and judges and
\nprosecutors have become robots that are easily directed and
\nmanaged. They silence their consciences and despoil their
\nprofessions for the sake of money and worldly pleasures.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, when it comes to the common people who are not so
\nwell-to-do and have no power, justice is applied easily and
\nquickly and everything becomes very simple.<\/p>\n
Why does this happen? Because the laws were built on fragile
\nfoundations. And they have become outdated and can no longer
\nsolve issues which have become increasingly complex.<\/p>\n
The legal system should be built ahead of its time, so it can
\nanswer challenges faced by modern society. But on top of all
\nthis, the laws must be in the hands of credible and honest
\nagents, who are still willing to listen to their hearts.<\/p>\n
