Why Bail Should Be Granted? What Reasons Should You Offer?
If you are arrested, you may try to offer the following reasons as ONE of the many reasons, please consult your lawyer independently.
Sekiranya anda ditahan, anda boleh mencuba alasan berikut sebagai salah SATU daripada alasan-alasan, sila secara bebas merujuk kepada peguam anda.
The main purpose of the implementation of MCO is to break the chain of the Covid-19 infection and to flatten the curve. One of the ways is by the practice of social distancing. Thus, placing the violators of MCO in detention and putting them behind bars at this moment would defeat the very purpose of implementing the MCO.
Tujuan utama pelaksanaan PKP adalah untuk memutuskan rangkaian jangkitan Covid-19 dan meratakan lekukan. Salah satu caranya adalah dengan amalan penjarakan sosial. Oleh itu, meletakkan pelanggar PKP dalam tahanan dan meletakkan mereka dalam penjara pada masa ini akan menggagalkan tujuan pelaksanaan PKP.
The Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (SUHAKAM) has expressed the same concerned on their press statement dated April 3, 2020. This is because there is over a thousand of people arrested each day for these few days, most of them are in remand and later charged in court, only a small number of them were released on police bail.
Suruhanjaya Hak Asasi Manusia Malaysia (SUHAKAM) telah menyuarakan kebimbangan yang sama dalam kenyataan akhbar mereka bertarikh 3 April 2020. Ini disebabkan terdapat lebih daripada seribu orang yang ditahan setiap hari selama beberapa hari ini, kebanyakan mereka ditahan dan kemudian didakwa di mahkamah, hanya sebilangan kecil mereka yang dibebaskan atas jaminan polis.
Therefore the lock-ups and prisons are crowded with the violators of the MCO. The lock-ups and prisons are exposed to the risks of being the new cluster of Covid-19 infection.
Oleh itu, lokap dan penjara dipenuhi dengan pelanggar PKP. Lokap dan penjara berisiko menjadi kelompok baru jangkitan Covid-19.
Thus, bail should be granted as opposed to putting the violators in detention and later in jail.
Oleh yang demikian, jaminan harus diberikan berbanding dengan meletakkan pelanggar dalam panahanan dan kemudian di penjara.
