However, it is always in paramount importance to set up a fair procedure before we move on to the substance of law. I cannot agree more for the re-drafting of this DNA bill in order to insert fair procedures. All in all, presumption of innocence is the underlying principle in criminal law. The procedure for the relevant authority to compel a person (a suspected person, adult, children) to give his/her samples is truly unreasonable. If this bill is approved, then a bank of DNA for all Malaysians shall be set up in the near future. I cannot imagine what will happen next then.
