What is law? (Part 1)

What is law? A question easy to be asked yet hard to be answered. Many of my friends have asked me about that. Non-stop. Some say there is no law in Malaysia (rather exaggerating, I think), some say lawyers' future is bleak, some even say lawyers are crooks, including my best friend (influenced by dramas and movies in Hong Kong and Hollywood, which mostly demonstrate the cunning side of a lawyer). Some other objective people ask what is the law in Malaysia, and some wiser men ask What Is Law (I regard them wise because even the wisest man on the Earth can't answer it accurately, so it's quite a high-standard question). An average law student or lawyer may spring up instantaneously from the chair and proudly showcase their so-called true colour as a law student or lawyer, by aggressively arguing their special status, privilege, and bla bla bla holy thingie, simply to show their 'trained' sharp tongue. But that is not what people are concerned with. The more they argue that way, the more people are losing trust in lawyers, judges, and even justice system as a whole. 

Obviously, the 1st three comments are largely attributed to the negative image of the state of law in the eyes of many Malaysians. We can't blame them, because justice is not just the system to govern people's life, but a system which people depend on to take care of their rights, to take things that they deserve, and most importantly to uphold what a reasonable man believes to be right, whereby Court plays the role as the ruler to measure the standard of the rightfulness of a matter or a man's conduct. Law always co-exists with the trust people impose upon it. Law is born when people compromise on their absolute freedom in life to serve the larger interest of an orderly arranged society governed by law and order. In other words, it is the people who trust the need of Law in life that gives it the mandate to govern them. It is the people who choose to be governed by law that renders Law holy and formidable. BUT law or rather justice in Malaysia seems not working that way anymore. 5 young Legal Aid lawyers could be arrested when they were performing their duty of meeting clients in police station, on the ground that there was an illegal assembly. What the hell is going on in Malaysia?? How can people harbour the little hope of being protected by Law? 

However, no worry, friends. You know law resembles what?? Penis. Yup, there is nothing wrong with your eyes. You did not read it mistakenly. Law is just like a penis, the weapon which most men are proud of. Penis is so formidable when its owner is still on his peak, in terms of energy, age and biological youthfulness. It can stand so strongly in front of a young lady, just like how firmly Law stands in the way of the Evil of humans in society. But what if its owner grows older and logically it can't 'stand' on its own anymore?? Naturally enough, men think of viagra at this moment. Appropriate dose saves guy's dick, but overdosage may destroy it and even its withering owner as well. But still, as I said, reasonable dosage of viagra saves old guy's weapon. The same way goes to Law. It won't be bent forever. As long as people dare and have the political will to revive Law, it can still stand straight like a revived penis. There can be many types of viagra to revive Law. Law students, study your law properly. Lawyers, practise law with conscience. Judges, please answer the common question properly before you are appointed---What is law??? When Malaysian judges deep in their souls, know for what the law serves, there is a higher chance that they can become good judges, and thus revive the withering Law.
