What happens if Anwar goes back to jail? Malaysiakini

The biggest Malaysian news hogger for this year would have started this week but got postponed till next week. What do you think of Anwar's trial? A sham, a conspiracy or justice?

If this mole was sent by UMNO into Anwars camp to dig in to his personal life and claim sodomy later. The clever thing to do for whoever who sent him in there was to make sure he had enough evidence to bury Anwar before exposing Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan.

So, do you think they will be successful? We will know soon. But the worrying question here is not just Anwar's fate for coming years but this Nations fate? We all know that Pakatan Rakyat is hold together by Anwar's sticky glue. DAP and PAS is a partner that is definitely not what you call "Opposite attracts". From Ideology to representation they are completely opposite to each other. So PKR has gone all out to recruit as much politically influence people as they can grab. To be the alternative voice in the Pakatan Rakyat formula. Being the youngest and less experienced party in this Pakatan Rakyat Establishment. They needed more qualified and experience people to field for the next general election.


Will Pakatan Rakyat survive if Anwar goes back to prison? I don't think so. If Anwar goes back to Prison. He looses his MP seat. They will need a new opposition leader. His wife will need to stand again at Permatan Pauh. There will definitely be a few massive rallies but that's not going to change anything. We will definitely see Barisan Nasional loose more seat in the next GE. Their days are numbered. But the opposition wont be united. So an opposition state government will probably be still 3 or 4 but never a new federal government.


But there is a possibility that in his absences there might be aspiring new revolutionary leaders rising to unite the opposition or maybe create a single strong opposition. It's not practical for now but a possibility of a Pakatan Rakyat government wasn't realistic not too long ago also. Fingers crossed that the voice of the opposition never dies if this turn bad for Anwar. Who knows maybe Najib might just do what his father did to salvage their power by suppressing the opposition and suspending the Parliament. We can throw bricks made of words at him but a man in his position in Malaysia can't be touched. We could end up as a dictator ruling. Then we all can forget about a place called home.

Our Nations future, our children's future and our country's future is now in the hands of Najib. We will never know what lies ahead of us until the Parliament really runs this country.

Is it because i'm Black!!

MP Gopalakrihnan and his boys were arrested, 9 Hindraf leaders were arrested in this Permatang Pauh Election period. Why is this double standards happening? Don't tell me it was a total coincidence they all happen to be Indians. To uphold the truth we get beaten up. Being an MP and the police can whack him till he landed in hospital. If we dont stand up for our rights. This racial side lining will never stop. Firm and corrective actions need to be taken. Never by the use of violent but i think an act of civil disobedience should pave the way. We have about 2 weeks to see if Anwar is able to topple the government. If unsuccessful then Hindraf has to rise to the occasion and lead the movement to topple UMNO.If the police are not scared in doing that than imagine where they have put us as Malaysians.
I will refuse to obey to their orders and i will refuse to be treated second class. I was born here, my father was born here and my grandfather was born here and my children will born here. This is my home and my future.
Malaysia adalah untuk Malaysian. Malaysia adalah negara yang berbilang kaum. Di dunia sekarang hampir semua negara berbilang kaum. Adakah mereka berkelakuan seperti UMNO. Mengunakan isu isu agama and kaum untuk memegang kepada kuasa. Hancur UMNO, Hancurkan Politik berasas kaum.

6 hours left in permatang pauh

Things are heating up as more questions arrise at the polling stations. If Anwar wins they will try to delay his swearing in till next week so that he misses this friday budget at the parliement. Look at how corrupt the entire malaysia system.
If they try to delay his swearing in. What are we going to do about it? Let's think how to bend the governments arm into do it?

Makkal Sakthi Lost in Translation

Barisan Nasional or Umno has successfully used the Makkal Sakthi banner to steal some limelight for them self.
I am a supporter of the Hindraf movement. I appreciate and support their hard work and struggle to expose the truth and bring up the one of the most neglected race in Malaysia. Makkal Sakthi is slogan used to represent the fire that is burning in all Malaysians heart who want a fair and equal Malaysia. Makkal Sakthi meaning people's power is purely for pursuing justice.
Unfortunately to show that the government is listening to the Indian community needs. They allowed a splinter group from Hindraf to carry out a special prayers at seberang jaya for the 5 Hindraf leaders in ISA. Badawi even went to attend this function and gave his assurance to look into their 18 points memorandum. This is the man who could not even accept a rose from a child.
If Badawi wanted to show good faith. Release the 5 Hindraf leaders. Hindraf is not a political party. It does not want to get involved with politics. So by this function carried out by Mr VK Regu only allows BN to use it as a platform to only garner the Indian sympathy votes for Arif Shah.
Another political game played by BN so professionally. But i think they did not expect the true hindraf to intervene so quickly. Hence the commotion at the function. VK regu was a member of hindraf but left it for sometime. He still believes in the struggle but hindraf has to plan and decide every action they take to ensure that the wrong message is not sent out. Having most of their leaders in prison they have to make sure they thread very carefully. The last thing they want to do is create racial tension. It is very easy to be misinterpreted. So by Mr.VK Regu's action, he was not considering the entire Hindraf struggle. Especially at a time were an election is being carried out. The 8 Hindraf leaders arrested yesterday was not necessary. Even 2 womens were arrested. I think the government blundered at that point. I'm sure the Indians are definitely not going to vote for BN now. Arif shah you just lost your 6% of vote.
Alot have criticised Anwar for showing support to Hindraf. He might or might not believe in their struggle but he has given them the encouragement and support they needed to keep the struggle going as even he is struggling for justice.
Anwar is not very much different from Mahathir. They are both very intelligent man. They both have the capability to bring Malaysia to great height's. Malaysia deserve an intelligent and capable Prime Minister. So lets not deprive Malaysia. The difference between this men's are that Anwar will owe his position to the people and Mahathirs was to his party.
Anwar has to stay true to his words because like a scientist. He has created a creature. If he betrays it then it will only destroy him. Just like playing with fire.
The People's Voice is much more stronger now. It will keep on growing. If Anwar fails in his task then I'm very sure the people will raise against him in the future. The Pandora's box has opened. So there is no point in UMNO's struggle. It is a falling party. If not now then by the next general election we will see it collapse.

Permatang Pauh 2008

People might not realise how important this bi-election has become. If Anwar wins, he might not just be the MP for Permatan Pauh but also the Prime Minister.
So this is it. In a couple more days we will know if Anwar has the support of the people. If he wins, regardless of the size of difference.Because with so much of effort from BN and so many people campaigning for BN. It's impossible to ignore that they might get their share of the peoples vote.
But will Anwar keep his word. Will Malaysia change for the better? Will Unity among the people finally be achive? Will the Malaysian be proud of being Malaysians?
When i was sitting in a park in Bangkok last week chilling out with my friends. Suddenly just before 6 in the evening everyone in the park stood up. They stood for their national anthem which none of us could hear it being played. At that point i urged my friends to join them. To my surprise western tourist were already joining the locals. We stood for less than 5 Min's. But when i sat down i felt a different man. I felt so much respect for the people of Thailand. They had true unity and respect.
I sincerely hope that one day i would stand up even to the faintest national anthem regardless what I'm doing. And hope that i would not be laughed by my fellow Malaysians. Because at present nobody respects a country if they are not respected. Malaysians has become alien to their own land, Malaysia.
Anwar deserve a chance to prove himself. Vote for him. Better him than Najib. So vote Anwar. Lets try to make a change. Even if we failed at least we will know that we tried. God save Malaysia.
