Of erasing, forfeiting and bargaining...

Anwar, IMDB..the saga continues


By now, the reality of not seeing Anwar Ibrahim in action should sink in. Regardless whether one is a BN supporter, opposition supporter or fence sitter, one thing is clear - Anwar is in Sg Buloh..

His family may want to keep his candle burning by announcing 'March to Freedom'. They have every rights to do so and their supporters should be given the space to voice out as long as it did not create disturbance to the country. Honestly, when CJ starts reading his judgement, it is already clear where they are heading to. Nothing to shout about as their judgement is based on what they believe is facts. Are they right? Are they wrong? As far as this writer is concerned, only He is the final judge as both parties claimed they are on the right side.

Saiful felt that he is vindicated with the judgement and Shafee did not feel any joy in this case. However, there are issues and questions which will be ringing in everyone's minds - did it happened? Malaysia's top judges believed it happened. Some observers said it is a political conspiracy...you make your own stand.

Me? I say that Anwar did not listen to his conscience. Anwar's failure is when he misjudge and thinks he is almost untouchable. When does that happened? Way before Sodomy I and way before he was sacked as DPM. When exactly? It started when he was bestowed the DS title and when he belittled others who fondly called him AI. When was that? Anwar knows...

This time around Sg Buloh will be his home for the next 5 years. Will he served the full sentence? Only God knows. Do he has a chance to be released before his 5 years is up? Yes, he has. How? One of this possibility...
1. Full pardon by HRH the King
2. Early release due to good behaviour
3. Early release due to political and external pressure
4. Early release due to judicial review
5. Early release on God's calling

There will be another by-election soon. This will happen when Speaker Pandikar declare Permatang Pauh parliamentary seat vacant as Anwar is serving time in prison. Who will stand for him in Permatang Pauh? Honestly, this writer hopes that it will be someone other than Azizah. Reason? She vacated the seat to make way for Anwar once and for that reason she should not stand in Permatang Pauh lest t will be a political issue to BN. Who will it be then? PKR has several choices..let's see whothey choose and I will be my views...

Anwar's issue should not cloud us from the real threat by the name of 1MDB. Despite the announcement of new CEO, local banks has issued an ultimatum, pay up or face loan default. During lunch today, a CEO friend lamented where's the dough? 1MDB claims they have sufficient funds, this CEO friend is sceptical. 1MDB should make good on it's name and should avoid using the federal government and 1?? to armtwist local banks. Pay if 1MDB has the money or else 1MDB will further pull Malaysia down the drains...

Will Anwar starts bargaining with 1??, will 1MDB bargains with local banks? If the bargains starts taking place, will Tun M be happy keeping quiet? You have your stand and I have mine...
Till then...G'nite M'sia...wherever u are...
