KOTA KINABALU: No prosecution should be brought against any person based on an incomplete investigation, says Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin.
"It is crucial to highlight the guiding principle, that a person should not be put in peril of a criminal trial unless the prosecution is able to prove the case against him. To do otherwise is an injustice," said the Sabah Umno chief.
He said this principle is to avoid injustice primarily because of the social stigma attached to a person once he is charged in court. "The law exists not merely to punish but to ensure that justice is served, which can only occur if each party is granted a fair opportunity to present their case.
