Juvenile Mugelen (14) sent to jail for in accidentally touching another young Malay girl in swimming pool. Cannot afford RM1,700.00 bail, so put in jail.
And cannot afford a lawyer so forced to plead guilty. This predicament happens to scores of thousands of the Indian poor, not necessarily because they are guilty but simply because they cannot afford the bail and have no money to pay lawyers. So they go to jail. UMNO/BN denies them the Legal Aid. And it is from prison that they may actually learn and become the real criminals.
