Don't be fooled the second time!

Malaysiakini has reported that Pakatan Rakyat believes that the police report made against Anwar Ibrahim is nothing more than a second political conspiracy just like in 1998, to finish off his political career.

I am simply amazed at the sheer desperation that anyone would do to smear the name of Anwar in the height of his political comeback in the aftermath of the March 8 political Tsunami. Which person would say that it is up to the police to investigate the serious allegation made against Anwar? Of course, I won't answer that question, because it's obvious that there are higher ups who would orchestrate such a move at such a time as now, because of Anwar's possibility of contesting in a by-election and thereby forming the new Federal Govt later on. These people are so desperate that they can't think of something more credible and believable. How would you expect a 61 year old man with a bad back holding a young punk who is 23 years old and is fit as a fiddle? It's unbelievable!

Certainly, the credibility of the BN govt has been tarnished in the eyes of the world. I managed to catch CNN this evening and was not surprised that CNN was not able to contact the govt for comment, but were able to contact Anwar and interviewed him over the phone. With much conviction in his voice, he charged that he was a victim of a second conspiracy against him, because of an agent being planted by the BN in PKR.

The process of nation building is interrupted by this shameful event of a political conspiracy to preempt the threat posed by Anwar in capturing the Federal Govt in crossovers. Calls for the police to be fair in its investigation can be a hollow one, what with the memory of Anwar's black eye in 1998 given by the IGP himself. My gut instinct is that I just don't trust the police. They are quick in investigating the opposition but slow in investigating the rich and powerful with connections to the BN.

The demand by Anwar to guarantee the security of him and his family is a reasonable one considering what he has gone through before in 1998. It's total rubbish and irresponsible for anyone to suggest that he should be brave enough and not hide in the embassy for fear of his safety.

My only prayer is that he will be safe. We need to save this country from tyranny and corruption. A sleeping PM with no concern for the poor rakyat by drastically increasing fuel prices overnight is not fit to be the Prime Minister. A PM who detains Hindraf lawyers without being charged in Court is a coward. A PM who shakes hand with the Chief Minister of Penang and assures that mega projects will not be affected is a snake, when he decided to scrap the monorail and PORR projects in the 9th Malaysia Plan review. Whether or not it's a blessing in disguise is not the issue. It only shows that he is a confirmed liar, as he has failed to consult the Chief Minister with regard to this projects.

All this proves that we are living in dangerous times and BN is ever so desperate and might once again control the media and institutions in this country to try to save their political skin.
