He forged labourers’ signatures and thumbprints on muster rolls to claim payments that were never made, and was consequently sentenced to two years of rigorous imprisonment, fined ₹5,000 and ordered to serve an additional two months if the fine is not paid. The conviction was under sections 13(2) read with 13(1)(c)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, and sections 409 and 477‑A of the IPC, with his time already spent in custody set off against the sentence. Odisha’s vigilance department said it will seek to stop his pension following the judgment.

If someone chooses alcohol, then that means they have an intention to commit murder. (Recent alcohol and drug-related accident in Malaysia) What do you think? It seems like Malaysia's legal stance asserts this at this time.

"All energy manifests itself along lines of least resistance, and the first energies of man are devoted to the procurement of the means of life. It is only where organized tyranny has made violence and force the line of least resistance that men will deviate from the normal path, and so long as the cupidity and brutal selfishness of man shall make this the line of least resistance, all the laws on earth cannot overcome the primal instincts and feelings upon which life depends.
A race that would starve, or beg, or accept alms before violating the brutal laws that fence the children of nature from their source of life, would quickly degenerate into abject slavery and finally into nothingness. All so-called criminals do not reason out the cause that placed them where they are. Instinctively they feel that they are doing what they must. This class have generally lived for years, sometimes for generations, so near the border line, have lived such precarious lives that their callings and avocations have grown as natural and normal as monopolizing the earth has grown to another class."

"At present, infinite adjournments are allowed by the legal system. The courts are clogged with 47m cases. There are instances of relatives of murder victims dying before trials are completed, while in other cases, witnesses grow old and die before they can give testimony."

Sedition law is not gone, it’s set to be more draconian

The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Bill, brought to replace the colonial-era Indian Penal Code, could make the current sedition law wider but without the safeguards that courts have created so far.
