It is not the amount collected which has more significance but the swift response from the public. Those who contributed must have been disgusted with the high-handed arrest because of selective prosecution, as well as the unnecessarily big bail amount required. The way Chief Minister of Penang, Lim Guan Eng was arrested clearly showed the intention of maximising publicity so as to shame him. He would have readily presented himself instead, even with just a couple of MACC officers having the warrant of arrest. High bail amount is usually required if the accused is likely to abscond, an action so unlikely by someone as proud of his integrity as Secretary General of DAP, Lim Guan Eng. Furthermore, the same Attorney General who cleared Najib without convincing proof, is now leading the prosecution against Lim. If this is not selective prosecution I don;t know what is.
