In close combat, you go for the head where it counts. During medieval times, knights fought to severe the head off from the body. Just look at Samurai films and you will see gory scenes of heads rolling off during sword duels. Now, more than ever, BN (UMNO) is going for PKR's head and that head unfortunately belongs to Anwar Ibrahim.
Finally, after months of suspense, the Federal court has ruled in favour of Zambry as the legally rightful MB of Perak. Surprise? No! The writings are on the wall for all to see. We may not be world class, but we are definitely "Jaguh kampung" and this is proven again in our courts of law.
For those who feels that they are robbed of a legitimate MB, take this decision in stride because the judgement is a precedent and can work both ways. Putting the legal jumbo mumbo aside,the Federal court judgement summarily states :-
If that is the case, PR better take heed on the judgement and reciprocate the people's trust in them by :-
Why do I say so? Months before, this blogger has raised the issue of PKR failing to meet up to the rakyat's expectation and aspiration. Look at how PKR fare in Penang. Look at how they force another of their kind off so that a by-election is needed in Penang. Look at how Zahrain's recent outburst in Penang and the possibility of en-masse desertion from PKR. All this points to one - greed. It seems that the closer PR is to helm the federal government, more ugly heads are rearing to sweep the booty away. Is this PKR's downfall? Is PKR another mirror of UMNO?

UMNO knows and realise that PKR remains strong and relevant if Anwar is the de-facto leader. Killing him off politically will ensure that UMNO stays relevant in Malaysian's politics. I am not saying that Anwar is all angels and do no wrong. He may or he may not be guilty of Sodomy II. That I don't care. What I despised in sodomy II (as in sodomy I) is the way the court was used as an avenue to paint intimate details of the "said" crime. Yes, I understand that Anwar is claiming innocence as Saiful is adamant in his "sumpah" that he was sodomised. This is no longer about who is right and who is wrong but has expanded into political survival of UMNO and PKR. Not only that, for Anwar, sodomy II is about his reputation and his family namesake. If he is guilty, I feel pity for Saiful as he is also a victim and a political pawn used by Pahang shaman to the utmost.
And in saying so, I feel the same for Anwar. He should know better as he is a born politician through and through. If he is guilty of sodomy, I pity the burden which has to be carried through by his offsprings. And that is not easy. As they say, it may take 7 generations to cleanse a sin...
Back to Perak. Like it or not the blogger calls for the people to respect the court's decision. If you are a BN supporter, all is well. If you are not, then let this be a lesson learnt. For Perakians, hopefully they will realise now that it is not as easy to change the government of the day. Not when the odds are stacked against us - the commoners. However, I believe that if there is a will, there is a way and the winds of change is still growing strong. Either BN UMNO is ready to change to serve the people or the people will once again send BN packing in GE 13. BN has 2 years to convince the people that they have change for the better. At the same time, PR also has the same time to win our confidence that there will be no frogs after GE 13. Now, maybe Perakians will realise that love hurts....
For the rest of us non-Perakians, today we lose. Not because we lack the numbers but because 3 of our elected reps chose to abandon our trust, the Federal court has to convene to give their judgement. Today, let it be a lesson that we may have the numbers but acting individually, we are still weak and easily crushed. Just like they say " Lidi sebatang senang dipatah, tidak bagi lidi seberkas". It is time for the masses to regroup and find common causes that binds us together. Yes, we lose the battle but definitely we are going to win the war...

IT HURTS WHEN IT'S CURT
Love hurts when it's curt
With known justice to burp
When people's choices are upsurped
And democracy is treated like dirt
