Someone had just posed me this question – Will Anwar Ibrahim be incarcerated? My instantaneous response to him was that, “I am not the judge, and even if I were the judge, I will not give you the answer”. That’s the oft-question ask when the name of Anwar Ibrahim is toyed with in coffee shop conversation nowadays, and the court’s decision on Anwar Ibrahim will be known in a few days i.e. reportedly on Monday 9th January 2012.
The story goes that Anwar Ibrahim stands a hopeless chance at getting an acquittal, if we were to base it on an earlier trial of about a similar offence in 1998. PKR has to brace itself for the worst case scenario where a leadership vacuum in the party will occur if Anwar Ibrahim is found guilty and is sentence to a jail term. I think that leadership vacuum will also be felt in the PR, but how this will affect the coalition’s chances in the upcoming elections is difficult to predict.
There have also been numerous assessments citing the possibility of PR winning the elections i.e. with or without Anwar Ibrahim. Some believe that Anwar Ibrahim isn’t a critical factor in winning the elections anymore, and neither is there the ‘sympathy factor’ that impacted upon PR successes in the 2008 general elections. What are more important now are issues and exposures affecting UMNO/BN today that are most likely to weaken BN’s reputation in the run up to the elections. And issues and exposures detailing UMNO/BN 50 odd years of wrong doing are slowly emerging. Even former PM Tun Dr. Mahathir 20 odd years of rule is not spared of public debate and criticism.
Even if Anwar Ibrahim were to be acquitted and assumes the premiership (should PR win the election), at best he would only last one term as he would breach his 70th birthday at the end of that term. It is for this reason that I think, PR should start developing and identifying a second tier leaders that are reasonably young capable (free of all the worldly vices) of taking over the leadership, so that when a leadership change does occur, the transition would be smooth. I believe the PR leadership today is not devoid of young and able leaders that are not seen to have been infected or to have been influence by the ‘evils and vices of politics’. This is simply because they all have not savored political power, but once in power I certainly am not ruling out the chances of them emulating the inherent adverse qualities of the present UMNO/BN leadership. This will be the biggest challenge for the PR leadership.
So with the uncertain future of Anwar Ibrahim, the PR leadership now has a daunting task at hand to decide upon a ‘replacement’ for Anwar Ibrahim. That replacement has to be decided and made known now so that there will be a clear transition in the change of leadership, should Anwar Ibrahim be incarcerated and the PR wins the election. As of now, that replacement isn’t quite certain and PR cannot place their bet on Anwar Ibrahim getting an acquittal. PR has to start working on the worst case scenario now.

POWER IS MIGHT AND RIGHT IN BOLEH LAND
Even before Anuar Ibrahim’s sodomy 2 trial comes to an end, he now faces new charges, this time filed by the police themselves, reportedly under Section 182 of the Penal Code for giving ‘false information to injure another person’. The charge is related to a report that Anuar made to the police against the famous Datuk T sex video that alleges the porn star in the video was Anuar himself.
If anyone were to ask me why have the police taken the initiative to file a new charge against Anuar now, and not at the time when the report was made? My layman’s answer to this question is simply this i.e. it is a deliberate attempt by the authorities to continuously persecute Anuar with charges upon charges, till he can no longer withstand the ‘barrages’ heaped upon him. And what is even worse is that the charge is filed at a time when Anuar is in the midst of an ongoing trial for alleged sodomy and with the GE nearing. I think the entire scheme is to obliterate Anuar’s name completely from the face of the earth, and even when he is dead. To me, what the police have done is the most outrageous thing that no righteous person can ever forgive. I say to all that I have had enough of this deliberate persecution of Anuar, and I take great pity for the sufferings that he had endured and by his entire family.
Now, having said the above, I can sense that many will say that I am a staunch Anuar’s favorite, and an ungrateful retired government servant who shamelessly strived on a paltry government pension. For those who hold such a perception, I would like to say this to them, that I am no Anuar’s favorite, neither am I a staunch favorite of Najib. I am for fair and equitable justice for all, but certainly not the kind of justice that Anuar has to go through since his release from prison.
Both Anuar and including Najib (me included) must have committed errors in their lives and this is quite normal of a human being. But why is Anuar being targeted relentlessly for persecution (including that of his innocent family), whereas there are some VVIP’s (you know who) and many more who are just given a reprieve with a soft warning for a crime. If sex is the reason for the authorities to relentlessly prosecute and persecute Anuar, then why not prosecute that MCA leader who admitted to having a sex tryst with a woman other than his wife? Or why was that ‘Raba Raba’ politician be let scot free and was subsequently rewarded with an Ambassadorial post in a foreign land? And I am told too that Najib himself isn’t that clean of his sex vices; yet he is the PM today and none of his party members are complaining? And don’t forget that former Malacca Chief Minister who committed one of the most outrageous and henious crimes i.e. having sex with one underage girl, but never served a jail sentence nor was he whipped?
From the above examples, it is crystal clear that those politicians in power are treated differently from politicians that do not hold any power. This is the uniqueness of Boleh Land where power is might and right, and the powerless remains weak and has little or no right. There seems to be no justice; rather selective justice for the powerless and it is not only me that is witnessed to such injustices, but including the entire civilized world. These are the issues and acts that I violently opposed to, that I have been constantly writing about in some previous postings.
Finally, I have this to say, and setting aside your political leaning and affiliation – do you honestly think that Anuar and including his family members has been treated justifiably by the authorities since getting out of prison? Do they truly deserve such treatment? And compare that with the treatment accorded by the authorities for the ‘crimes’ committed by those powerful politicians that I have mentioned above. Do you not see the disparity and imbalances in the treatment of Anuar in comparison with the others? I ask you to seek you conscience and please be humane and passionate for once.

SHAZRYL TAKES THE OATH
Someone commented that the swearing of Shazryl Eskay Abdullah in a mosque in Sentul, Kuala Lumpur on Friday 29th is at the behest of the government or an agency of the government. I agree with the comment on grounds that Shazryl appeared to have the protection of a government security agency prior to and throughout the swearing ceremony. He was also provided with a bullet resistance vest.
I understand that a bullet resistance vest (BRV) cannot be purchased by anyone without a license, as it is a security related item, in the same category as firearms. Who else could have provided the vest if it isn’t a licensed security agency, the police or the military; hopefully it is not supplied by the military for I will certainly condemn the act.
The ceremony itself was well organized, with the presence of JAKIM officials including that of its Director Datuk Che Mat Che Ali himself. That’s how important Shazryl is, and the swearing in Allah’s name that Anuar Ibrahim is the man featured in the controversial sex video, that has been prime news for about three weeks now.
Now, what has Shazryl achieved by taking the oath (mind you in the name of Allah)? Does this mean that every living creature on earth has to believe that the words of Shazryl to be the truth and nothing but the truth. Does this mean that should Anuar be tried in any court of law, Shazryl’s oath will lend credence to the final judgment of the court? Isn’t the swearing by Shazryl in Allah’s name prejudged a guilty verdict on Anuar? And will Shazryl act of being in possession and screening the video in public, and by this swearing in the name of Allah, absolve him of any offence?
And let’s see how the media responses towards the oath taking ceremony that hits the news stand this Saturday morning.
As I have anticipated, the Malay print media carried exotic and torrid stories of Anuar’s sex acts in several pages. It also had a half to full page photos of the oath taking ceremony, focused on pictures of Shazryl holding the Quran. Of course, his two other conspirators are not missed out in the photos.
But strangely, the English print media i.e. Star and NST main news reporting that took front page is about the wedding ceremony of Prince William and Kate Middleton, now proclaimed Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. In this regard, both the Star and NST have acted sensibly by not doing what the Malay media has done.
Now, one would want to question why the obvious difference in the reporting of the Malay print media with that of the English media over this important oath taking ceremony. I think the answers are simply this.
1. The Malay media has wide coverage among the Malay rural folks and this is good political propaganda aimed at influencing their minds into believing that Anuar is indeed an unworthy Malay and Muslim leader. This hopefully will translate into votes for the government.
2. For simple rural Malay folk, the swearing in the name of Allah and with the Quran at hand is to be believed. No amount of persuasion will change their belief that an oath taken in the name of Allah is a lie. This would further strengthen Malay rural support for the government.
3. Conversely, the Star and NST is not widely received in the rural Malay areas. These papers have greater readership in the urban areas whose readers have much wider perception over a wide range of issues that differs from that of the rural folks. Being better read, would mean that the urban folks are not easily convinced over whatever is being reported by the media.
Anuar will now have a difficult time to convince the Malay rural folks to not believe in what has been said about him. I would think he needs to do a quick check on his support and popularity in his own constituency first before he goes on a nationwide road show to diffuse the negative reporting about him.
And since the Trio has sought to use the mosque, JAKIM, Quran and the name of Allah to prove that what they did was the truth and nothing but the truth, I would then want to pose this challenge to the Trio to also take a similar oath that they have never ever committed any worldly sin; notably that of corruption and extra martial sex.
Would any one of the three dare take this challenge?

WHEN WILL STORIES OF SEX ORGY END?
A second short video clip of the alleged Anuar Ibrahim sexual escapade has been up loaded on You Tube. I have not personally viewed the video, but from numerous still photos posted in a number of blogs and some news prints, I am more convinced now that the man isn’t Anuar Ibrahim. From the hair cut, protruding stomach, and sagging facial feature does not make him to be Anuar Ibrahim. The high hair cut looks like a man that is typically Thai. The sagging facial feature makes the man appear more elderly, and coupled with the protruding stomach eliminates any chances that it is Anuar Ibrahim.
Now, Nurul Izzah’s name is being used as the title of the second video. What has Nurul Izzah got to do with all this? Is it because Nurul Izzah is Anuar’s daughter; hence she should bear the brunt of being despised upon and condemned like her father?
Let me say this to those that had up loaded the video, that they are a bunch of idiots that has a heart and soul of a satan. They are being guided by the devil and are intent to instill hatred for others. If they all are of my race (hopefully there are not), I then need to remind them that what they did is much against the religion. To slander someone is a heinous crime and haven’t they been taught about this early in their life? Maybe, they may not have had enough religious grounding. Maybe, they are sex video paddlers themselves who earns a living by selling and distributing such videos. And don’t tell me that the famous Datuk Trio might have obtained the video from them.
Pardon me for being rude to those who have up loaded the video, for this is the only language that best suits them.
I and many other likeminded Malays have had enough of this sex stories. And as I have said in my earlier writings that the longer this case is prolonged, the more space is given to those who want to further damage the already battered image of Anuar Ibrahim. But one thing is also certain, the longer the delay, the more Anuar Ibrahim wins sympathy to his side, and this may not auger well for the government’s image as well.
While those who have so much of hatred for Anuar Ibrahim would want more of Anuar’s scandals to be exposed, but many parents of school going children are showing signs of disgust, more so when photos of the alleged sex activity is out in the print media as well as in the internet.
Undoubtedly, Datuk Trio has brought the media to new heights i.e. specializing in torrid stories of sex and scandals. Is this what the Malaysian media is good at i.e. destroying the good and noble values that our future generation should uphold? I am not surprise that the minds of our children today is so infested with orgy of sex that having sex in school is part of their 'social activity'.
I just wonder what the children and grandchildren of the famous Datuk Trio will would say of their father and grandfather.

PLEASE YANG BERHORMAT, SPEAK WISELY
Now there are calls from certain parliamentarian to screen the sex video that alleges Anwar Ibrahim’s involvement as the porno star. What a dumb and stupid idea is this? Can’t these honourable MPs think straight or have they all got bitchy themselves? If at all they want to see a porno video, just search the internet like what the two MACC officers in the Teoh Beng Hock trial did; to satisfy their lust for sex videos in the comfort of their office.
And I am just wondering what would their wives at home think of their husbands watching a sex video in parliament? Haven’t they had enough of the sex lives at home? And do they not realize that there are women MPs around, and what would these women MPs say? I am yet to hear someone from among them protest, or have they too got bitchy themselves?
I can only ask this, “What is actually happening to our Yang Berhormats”? I have lived long enough to witness the birth of our Parliament soon after Merdeka and to read what all is being debated and discussed. There has never been a request for a free sex video screening in Parliament before, and I do not think there has ever been one like this in the august house of any other country; not even in Zimbabwe or Lesoto. News like this travels fast and I am quite sure parliamentarians across the world will be laughing their hearts out at this stupidity.
And earlier too, I read that there have been demands by some quarters that a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) be formed over the sex video episode………….an RCI just to determine whether it was Anwar Ibrahim or not in the video? The police have said that the video is authentic, but the main actor is uncertain. So they will now need an expert (a foreign one) to determine who the male porno actor is. And my question is………..do you really need an RCI for a case like this? Are we not making the King look stupid if ever he agrees to the RCI? Just look at the outcome of the Lingam Tape…….korek, korek, korek case. What has been the outcome? And the only thing we got was denial from everyone, and the case got nowhere.
My final word on this sex video episode is to request for our parliamentarians act and talk intelligently. And I know that there some among them that are intelligent, but please speak out against those who act and talk stupid.

WITNESS PROTECTION ACT – A VIEW
Perak’s PPP Deputy Chairman and criminal lawyer Dr. Naran Singh has said that the trio involved in the screening of a sex video that alleges Anwar Ibrahim’s involvement should be protected under the Witness Protection Act (WPA). The Act stipulates that ‘any witness who comes forward to reveal privy information on acts of wrong doing should be given rightful protection’.
I am no lawyer but my interpretation and understanding of the Act may differ from that of Dr. Naran in this particular case. I would agree with Dr. Naran if the trio calling themselves Datuk ‘T’ did not deliberately call for the newsmen (I do not know how many of them) to Carcosa for a public viewing of the video. Had the trio maintained absolute privacy of the video, and went directly to the police, then I think WPA applies. But by having to screen the video to the newsmen and subsequently publishing it the following day makes it public information, and is no longer privy information.
My perception of the case is simply that the trio wanted to cast aspersion on Anwar character and for the press to believe that the person in the video was indeed Anwar. The motive is ill intended. If one is to listen to the press statement given by YB Johari Abdul who was invited by the trio to see the video, than one would have a different perception of the case. Regardless whether if it was Anwar or not in the act, but a good Muslim would never ever want to do what the trio had done. It is outright slander, and the trio being Muslims would know what it takes to slander someone. What if the investigation concludes that it wasn’t Anwar the porn actor?
Some would say that I am only trying to defend Anwar. It is far from that. The issue in question here is one of slander, and it has nothing to do with whether it was Anwar or otherwise. I am only defending the right of an individual against an act of slander, and clearly the act of the trio is definitely one of slander. And what makes this issue even worse is that the persons involved in the screening of the video are persons of influence and dignity. I do not know whether my readers will agree with me on this.
My only humble response to Dr. Naran is that I beg to differ from his views and opinion of the case. I would stick by my decision that the trio does not deserve to be protected under the WPA, but is to be investigated for being in possession of a pornographic video and for screening it in public.

CAN WE ACHIEVE A TRUE MALAYSIAN SOCIETY?
MCA President Chua Soi Lek (CSL) is reported to have said that “the onus is on Anwar to prove that he is not involved” as the prime porn star captured on video that has made headlines throughout the nation and particularly the blogsphere. I just could not understand the reason why CSL would want to say this? He being a Muar porn star once before, took no effort to prove his innocence, but admitted to being the actor in the video. He had to admit because the picture of him in the act is as clear as daylight, and to deny will only incriminate him as being a blatant liar.
In the case of Anwar, it is clear as daylight too that the actor is not him as alleged, and this is clearly explained by the Sg. Petani PKR MP Johari, who had seen the video himself at Flamingo Hotel, Ampang, at the invitation of the unscrupulous conspirator Rahim Thamby Chik. And this Thamby, as we all know was once a child molester himself, but got his freedom due to ‘insufficient evidence’, they claimed. To all holders of the honorific title of Tan Sri, this Thamby has made a mockery of the exulted title.
If I were in Anwar’s shoes, I wouldn’t be bothered to claim my innocence. Why should I, because I know that I am not involved. It is for the conspirators to prove that I am guilty. But with the advancement of technology these days, my looks can be changed even in a video recording. This is what the conspirators wanted to do, but they did it poorly due to their lack of expertise in IT. So you can see how stupid these conspirators are, and they have now become the bad guys as oppose to being heralded as heroes.
I am absolutely clear that this sexual episode is a conspiracy or ‘fitnah’ to bring Anwar to his knees. I am taught that Allah works in mysterious ways and ‘fitnah’ being a grievous sin in Islam is easily revealed by the will of Allah to the truth, even before Anwar could be hauled by the police. The conspirators must have liked to make this a political campaign agenda during the up-coming Sarawak state elections to damn the PR. But what they get in return is to give PR campaigners an opportunity to ‘whip’ and castigate their political enemies by exposing the wrong doing of the BN politicians. Personally, I do not know how the alleged Anwar’s sex video can influence the Sarawak voters, but I am very certain the Sarawak urbanites are as fed-up as I am of these continuous conspiracies by enemies of Anwar.
My concern and worry now is what next? Will we hear another explosive story concerning Anwar on the horizon? Now, we hear that the Religious Minister Jamil Khir has accused Anwar of preaching something that is against Islam overseas. Is this another way of damning Anwar? This accusation can be exploited by the opponents of Anwar. But I would also like to hear what Jamil Khir has to say about Thamby and his failed conspiracy theory. Please answer me if it isn’t ‘fitnah’ that the Thamby is advocating against the very teachings of Islam. I need to ask whether Thamby knows what ‘fitnah’ is, and if he does not know then he will have to wait until he is six feet under.
Clearly, what we see happening today is a battle of a Malay against another Malay, and of people professing the same faith i.e. Islam. This is disgusting. If Prophet Mohammed PBUH gave protection to the Christians, I do not see any reason why a Muslim should condemn another Muslim. If everyone (regardless of race)had followed the path of Prophet Mohammed PBUH in propagating Islam as a way of life and to be subservient to Allah, and not to be saddled by racial sentiments and false supremacy, then only could we have a harmonious, peaceful and a tolerant Malaysian society. But sadly, Malaysians today are far from it.
CRUSADE AGAINST CORRUPTION
In the case of Anwar, it is clear as daylight too that the actor is not him as alleged, and this is clearly explained by the Sg. Petani PKR MP Johari, who had seen the video himself at Flamingo Hotel, Ampang, at the invitation of the unscrupulous conspirator Rahim Thamby Chik. And this Thamby, as we all know was once a child molester himself, but got his freedom due to ‘insufficient evidence’, they claimed. To all holders of the honorific title of Tan Sri, this Thamby has made a mockery of the exulted title.
If I were in Anwar’s shoes, I wouldn’t be bothered to claim my innocence. Why should I, because I know that I am not involved. It is for the conspirators to prove that I am guilty. But with the advancement of technology these days, my looks can be changed even in a video recording. This is what the conspirators wanted to do, but they did it poorly due to their lack of expertise in IT. So you can see how stupid these conspirators are, and they have now become the bad guys as oppose to being heralded as heroes.
I am absolutely clear that this sexual episode is a conspiracy or ‘fitnah’ to bring Anwar to his knees. I am taught that Allah works in mysterious ways and ‘fitnah’ being a grievous sin in Islam is easily revealed by the will of Allah to the truth, even before Anwar could be hauled by the police. The conspirators must have liked to make this a political campaign agenda during the up-coming Sarawak state elections to damn the PR. But what they get in return is to give PR campaigners an opportunity to ‘whip’ and castigate their political enemies by exposing the wrong doing of the BN politicians. Personally, I do not know how the alleged Anwar’s sex video can influence the Sarawak voters, but I am very certain the Sarawak urbanites are as fed-up as I am of these continuous conspiracies by enemies of Anwar.

MAT ZAIN HAMZAH - A NAME TO REMEMBER
Retired senior police officer, Mat Zain Ibrahim has come forward with some astounding revelation concerning the investigations on the 'Black Eye' incident of Anwar Ibrahim in 1998. Mat Zain is the police officer who was empowered by the then IGP Rahim Noor to fully investigate the incident, that was to placed the latter himself to a short term sentence in jail.
The revelation is astounding because it puts to test the credibility of the judiciary, and in particular the Attorney General,Abd Ghani Patail who was then the Senior Deputy Public Prosecutor, and the police over the manner the investigation was administered and presented during the trial of Anwar Ibrahim in 1998. However, Mat Zain did not specifically mentioned the roles of IGP Musa Hassan, who was then the police Senior Investigating Officer, in fabricating the investigation report made by Mat Zain. Hence, as of now, there is nothing to suggest that Musa Hassan is directly implicated.
We ought to congratulate Mat Zain for his bold and fearless action by revealing the truth for all to know. Any right minded person with the sense of conviction would have done the same, because why should one be protecting a liar and a schemer, who will bring shame and disrepute to the esteemed judiciary and attorney general's office. And hasn't the Malaysian judiciary been under severe criticism in the past, and made worse by the Lingham correct..correct..correct case?
But the lingering question still remains i.e. how many people would want to do what Mat Zain did, more so if they are still holding office? I am quite sure there are many who are privy to the scandals, thievery acts of corrupt officials within and outside the government, but are too timid and reluctant to come forward, for fear of reprisals from their superiors.
With Mat Zain's revelation too, Anwar Ibrahim's repeated accusation of 'corruption' in the judiciary,the police and of some politicians my have some truth. And this turn of event will most certainly emboldened Anwar.

ANWAR MUST KEEP TO HIS PLEDGES
Anwar Ibrahim has made a seriously flawed move, the very first day as an opposition parliamentarian by storming out in protest against the DNA Bill introduced by Minister of Internal Affairs, Dato Seri Syed Hamid Albar. I view his protest as a sign of weakness, contrary to what he had pledged i.e.that he will fight all out against the BN government, and certainly the best place to fight is in parliament.
I simply could understand that if the hastily reading of the Bill is a deliberate attempt by the BN government to incriminate Anwar in the Saiful sodomy case, Anwar then had to remain steadfast in battling his case out in parliament. By walking out in protest has not affect BN the least, but the losers were obviously the opposition themselves.
Anwar must understand that the people who had voted him into parliament, wants him to prove his prowess as an elected representative by speaking out against his proclaimed abuses of power by the BN government. He has been afforded the opportunity to do that, but not by walking out, the way he did.
I must admit that I am one of those who wanted Anwar to win the by election, simply because I am hopeful that he can be a strong opposition voice in parliament, to checkmate the government. And I am quite sure, I am not alone in this matter.
Anwar has about four years to prove everything that he had pledged, and he ought to be reminded too that the people who voted for him are no fools. And should Anwar fumble, there will no longer be a third time for him in parliament.

SAIFUL VS ANWAR
It has been almost a week that I last posted an article in this blog. I just wanted a short break from writing, and to maintain a close watch at what is happening around the country today.
Of course, I have been following closely the events surrounding the Permatang Pauh by-elections since nomination day, and with only five days remaining for polling day i.e. 26 August,the news being reported via the mainstream media, is certainly not in Pakatan Rakyat's favour.
The beating of the two photographers during nomination day allegedly by PR supporters, and the swearing of Saiful, were hot news for several days continuously. And the latest report of corruption charges on two PR Perak state Exco members has placed PR Perak state government on the defensive, and it might well affect PR chances of winning big in the Permatang Pauh by-election.
Of the many issues raised by both parties during the campaigning, the swearing of Saiful on the Koran interest me most. The manner in which the swearing was done had come under various criticism and comments from many religious quarters. Even the former Indonesian President, Gus Dur has voiced his comments over the matter. As a Muslim, and having read the criticism/comments made, I am now not certain whether what Saiful did was correct or otherwise.
And having watched Saiful on TV, I begin to wonder how could this tall and physically strong 22 year old boy be sodomised by a 61 year old man called Anwar. I was 61 year old, 3 years ago, and I know I could not easily bring down a healthy and strong 22 year old boy like Saiful. I need to be equally strong and tall to do anything untoward, towards someone like Saiful. I could not imagine myself having to wrestle and fight to get the 22 year old boy to take off his pants, without him having to take a punch at my face. Don't tell me that Saiful is so weak a person as not having the strength to fight off Anwar's advances.
This makes to me think that what has been said of Anwar may not be true...and only God knows.

THE SODOMY REPORTING HAS TO STOP
The Anwar Ibrahim sodomy case has simply gone overboard. To many people are making statements, and the press is having a gala time at making their views heard too. Even the blogs are not spared in making their cases heard. When will this damn thing stop.
Now Syed Hamid has said that the police has wrapped up their investigations. If that is so, just go and arrest Anwar, like the way the police did to Anwar recently, if Anwar has a case to answer. And if there is none, just throw out the case and ask everyone to shut their BIG mouth.
Even some Ministers out of ignorance, has appeared out of their cocoon, to make threats. The statement by the Deputy Minister of Health that the private hospital (referring to Pusrawi Hospital I suppose)that had exposed the medical note on Saiful, can be liable to a hefty fine, if found to be negligent in handling the medical note. May I ask this basic question.....who is this Minister to make such a threat and announce the fine? Please, the case is already in the hands of the police, and let justice takes its course, and we don't need the Minister to make threats on anybody.
I have said this many times before in my earlier postings, that our leaders need to straighten themselves, to see the reality of what is to become of our country, if the political scene is not put right. Everyone knows that the economy is not doing too well, and the people are suffering. Just ask the people in the streets, and you can get an honest answer, which is not good to be heard by Honourable Ministers.
I say all this with anger in my heart, because I see and hear the suffering of the people every day. Please Ministers....take to the streets, to feel the pulse of the people.

ANWAR TREATED WORSE THAN A CRIMINAL
Reading through the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the beating of Anwar by the police, posted in RPK’s Malaysia Today dated July 16th 2008, makes me boiled in anger. I just could not understand how a person like Rahim Noor (former IGP) himself, can take the law into his own hands, to beat a handcuff and blindfold person senseless. Islam does not teach us this. In fact, Islam teaches us to be compassionate to others, even if the person is a staunch enemy, while he is in custody.
What Rahim Noor did to Anwar is unforgivable, and he deserves the punishment meted upon him, and be labeled an ex-convict forever. He will again be called to answer his deeds and misdeeds in the hereafter, where he will not have the privilege of a lawyer. And please remember, the wrath from God is unbearable. I strongly advice that Rahim seeks forgiveness from Anwar, before it is too late. And I am sure Anwar being human, will forgive him.
Today, we once again see Anwar being treated like a criminal by the authorities. Threat of arrest is being hauled at him. The police in particular has little regards as to who Anwar was or is now. If they do not recognized him as the ex DPM, that is quite understandable, because certain members of the police force are themselves engulfed in corruption, rape, assault and even murder.
It appears also that the mainstream media today is having a gala time reporting about the Anwar’s case. The news reporting hits front pages and written in bold, in almost every mainstream media. Certainly, the sudden attention given to Anwar, I would say, makes him the most popular person today .
I have also read somewhere of a senior police officer today, who was himself involved in assaulting RPK sometime ago, and despite a report being launch against the officer, action has yet to be taken. So what does one expect of police officers today……sympathy and kindness……no way.

DEBATE - NO WINNER OR LOSER
As aqnticipated, the electronic media this morning blared out,that the debate between Shubery Cheek an Anwar Ibrahim last night (July 12), was a grand winner for the BN government. The news reported that airing the debate has proven that the government of Abdullah Badawi is exercising the the rights of the freedom of expression, by allowing the opposition, for the very first time, to argue their views live on TV.
The news also commented that Anwar had failed to impress the audience of his reasoning, that the price of petroleum can be lowered, should PR forms the government.
I had earlier commented in this blog that the debate should not be the one to decide who is the winner and the loser. The debate should be viewed as an intellectual discourse between two parties for the benefit of the people. It is for the people to then decide for themselves, based on intellectual reasoning, whether the decision to raise the price of petroleum was correct, or a lowering of the price can be implemented.
I for one do not agree that there is a winner or a loser, but I can positively say that I am better informed of the issue, now than before.

ANWAR IBRAHIM – A REPEAT OF 1998
A repeat of the 1998 tumultuous events that led to the sacking of Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim from his position as the Deputy Prime Minister, as well as from UMNO, is set to emerge again. The script is identical, and the actors involved with the plot are about the same person. One wonder….is this sheer coincidence? Or is it a well crafted plot to demonized Anwar and to stamp his fast growing popularity that is set to crush the Badawi government?
Pak Lah was quick to dispel his government’s involvement with the allegation that Anwar had sodomized his young assistant, who is not a PKR party member. PKR Party President, Datin Seri Dr. Azizah is reported to have said that there is a systematic and determined plot by members within the government to silenced Anwar, and also revealed that an aide to Dato Seri Najib Tun Razak was seen with the supposedly sodomized victim. Anwar had claimed that the allegation is “a complete fabrication”.
Now, where do we go from here? Will there be another reformasi movement that will cause social unrest throughout the country? Please remember that Anwar’s popularity has grown enormously since the elections. And unlike the 1998 reformasi movement which was confined to the Federal Capital, this time around the protest could be more widespread, especially in the opposition controlled states. Just ask the IGP whether he is capable of controlling a simultaneous public protest in the 5+1 opposition controlled states? My answer is NO. And if the Army is called in, than Malaysia is in trend with Pakistan or Zimbabwe.
With the judiciary in a ‘mess’ and a loss of public confidence, coupled with a police force that is continuously seen to be bias and selective in its investigations, a fair trial for Anwar seemed highly remote. Hence, Anwar’s decision to take refuge at the Turkish Embassy compound is out of fear for his personal safety, and a recurrence of his humiliating arrest by the police in 1998.
The position of the government in handling the above state of affair is indeed precarious. A miscalculation is sure to lead to disastrous consequences for the country, and this has to be avoided at all costs. Malaysians are already stressed by the escalating high cost of living, and I therefore plea to the government to act sensibly in addressing this explosive issue.
