Zunar, Malaysia's foremost political cartoonist, said he drew this cartoon (see below) on 17 Feb 2014 to predict what would happen to Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim in court "as it is happening today".
Anwar, 66, was acquitted from sodomy charges last year but Prime Minister Najib Razak's regime is appealing the High Court decision.
Anwar's lawyers have condemned the "rush" to have the government's appeal heard as a blatant means to have the Opposition chief disqualified from contesting the Kajang by-election.
The Kajang poll is due to be balloted later this month.
Many experts believe an Anwar win would pave the way for him and his Pakatan Rakyat coalition to consolidate their hold on Selangor, Malaysia's richest state.
