Forensic School Gone Awry

First the police arrested Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, forced him to go through thorough medical check up. They failed to obtain a new DNA sample from him, due to some loophole in the Law, which prevents anyone to obtain DNA without consent.

As expected the ministers high and low preached about the need for fresh DNA sample in order to get accurate Matching result. The big question! Is it really necessary for fresh DNA sample to perform accurate matching?

Yesterday Raja Petra Kamarudin posted an article about this. He wrote that DNA profile of a person once gotten will never expires. The same is true for fingerprint profile.

That's how god made us, unique alleles bestowed to everybody, it is in you from the day you were copulated until the day you die, and beyond. Because DNA is in your bones, your DNA can still be extracted long after you were buried.

DNA academic has been around for decades, scientifically developed. Taught in universities for aspired forensic wannabe.

Are the ministers trying to form a novel scientific hypothesis on DNA? That DNA profile could expires. To be published in DNA journals. If that so, then our ministers deserve to be elected as the next Nobel prize winners.

Pending scientific proof, if it's true. It's great news for me. I can change my DNA codes, be an ugly toad tomorrow, resting in the garden of some medieval castle. So I can wait for a stunning princess to kiss me. Hehe.

That's my fable fantasy gone bad.

To preach that a fresh DNA is needed for accurate matching is by all means a new subject in school. DNA never expires.

But if it is not true. Then I say sorry to aspiring CSIs here in Malaysia. Our ministers could have tarnished your reputation around the world. Switch to fashion courses while you still can.

Nonetheless, a new forensic frontier is in the making.
