Why DNA bill is scary….
The DNA bill being pushed through by the BN lawmakers is so scary, not just to Anwar Ibrahim… but also to any Tom, Dick or Harry. Here are some of the reasons:
- … the legislation empowers a senior policeman to be the head of the forensic DNA databank.
- … clause in the bill allows a policeman to use ‘all means necessary’ when taking non-intimate DNA samples (saliva or hair samples, for instance) from a suspect
- … a section that says ‘notwithstanding any written law to the contrary, any information from the DNA databank shall be admissible as conclusive proof of the DNA identification in any proceedings in any court’.
- … the legislation provides complete immunity for the minister or any DNA databank personnel for any acts of commission or omission by the person ‘in good faith’

Now, no wonder Anwar Ibrahim is running scared of this DNA bill. Although the government is saying the DNA Bill is not targeting at anyone, the public perception is that this DNA bill once approved, will practically mean the end of Anwar Ibrahim. Period.
