I just read that the police are going to arrest Anwar Ibrahim soon. It seems that one of Anwar’s aides has gone missing for the last two days. The aide has now surfaced and filed a police report against Anwar for sodomy (wtf??!!). In addition, Anwar had recently received evidence that implicates the a former IGP of police and a former AG, for fabricating evidence against him during his trial, 10 years ago. This rumour is just too big, fat, and juicy to ignore.
Incidentally, some friends and I were just chatting about this on our way home from dinner. We mentioned that our former PM, had locked Anwar up for good and essentially killed his political career beyond any hope of recovery. That was until our present PM decided to set Anwar free and claim that the charges were false. This let lose an avenging force, which culminated in the severe losses suffered during the last general election.
I have one advice for our present government: Once you let the genie out of the bottle, you cannot put it back in.
Regardless of the truth of the matter, we are most certainly now at political crossroads. Anwar Ibrahim is the main strategist that is pulling the opposition together. As a former DPM, he has dirt on a lot of people and he knows all the tricks that the government has up its sleeve. Now, he claims to have 50 government MPs in his pocket and he plans to use them by September to topple the government and claim the throne of power.
I am hoping that things will turn out for the best, and praying that it does not deteriorate for the worst.
If Anwar had seriously committed the crimes that they claim that he has, I certainly hope that he gets punished for it. However, I also hope that every corrupt politician and police, also get their dues some day. But I am a realist, and I know that the world is not a fair and perfect place. So, it is very likely that the political dullards will get away with things unless something is done to stop them, and stop them for good.
I have no idea what needs to be done though, and although some people are calling for the rakyat to stand up and take to the streets, I am not sure if it would be effective as we have all seen what happened in 1998. But I still think that something needs to be done, less we end up like Zimbabwe.
