Time to move on... December 15 is sort of anti-climax. Anwar says he has the numbers to showff and to defeat budget 2021 during the 3rd reading... he fails again. This is not the first time Anwar has been making such claims. How much more do we need to hear his claims of numbers? Or is Anwar forever doomed as PM Rakyat stature?
I have been witholding my observation because someone in my WA group thinks I am anti-Anwar. To set the record straight, I am not anti-Anwar but I am disappointed by his continuous claim on numbers and yest countless times, Anwar just could not prove it... or is he crying wolf?
Just because some say Anwar's claim is unproven with no real convincing majority, That does not make them enemies to PH. They say it loud for the sake of their love and commitment to the opposition cause. Do you need to be a member of PH to see PN fall?
What the Sabahan and Sarawakian parties are saying is simple - Anwar fails to prove his claim of convincing majority. There is no turnover from UMNO. There is maybe one or two no-shows but Najib, Zahid, Hishamuddin, Bung did not deliver... end of story.
That said, Anwar should be better off focussing on PH and bridge better relationship wit WARISAN and other parties in Sarawak. They are all fed-up with abah Din and it needs someone of greater stature and more dynamic person than Anwar to head the opposition pact.
Anwar must give way and let young blood takes over. He may be the best crooner before but his time is over. Just like Cassius Clay spending the best of his live in jail for refusing to be drafted, Anwar should realise that by now, those under 40 hardly knows him. In short, his time is over. The train left the station without Anwar on board.
Let's face it. Many idolise Anwar to the extent he did no wrong. Take a step back and review what happened in GE 14. Like it or not, it is Tun Mahathir who kept the opposition glued together on one common cause - to beat the hell out of BN. Yes, Anwar may give his go ahead but he is in Sg Buloh at that time. He did not transverse the nation to win te hearts of the people. His people think Anwar is god-send to be PM of Malaysia. In reality, first time voters hardly know who is Anwar Ibrahim...
Even when Tun Mahathir was sworn in and manage to get a royal pardon to Anwar... it is more of Anwar who? to the young voters. To me, Anwar should take his time to buid up his platform to take over from Tun Mahathir. Tun Mahathir gave Anwar the freedom to do that when he did not bind Anwar in a cabinet post.
Unfortnately, Anwar's circle of supporters think Anwar is ready to take over, not realising that they years in prison keep Anwar a bit off track from realities. Anwar wants to listen to praises and many aroundhim is ever ready to do that, counting the days when Anwar can become PM and they getting their spoils. What they forget is, Anwar is not the only person harbouring to be the next PM.
People like Hishamuddin, Azmin thinks they are better and has been serving the nation longer than Anwar. In that, they feel they are much more "senior" compared to Anwar.
Put it this way, Anwar used to be courted by PAS. In fact, Hadi was Anwar's deputy in their younger days. Where did Hadi place his support? Not to Anwar but he prefers to pledge to abah Din.
Maybe it is time for Anwar to say "No mas, no mas" and put himself as mentor to the younger generation of leaders. You do not need to be PM to do your job. Anwar has lay the groundworks... let other finish the fight.
Move on Anwar and join Tun Mahathir, Lim Kit Siang, Ku Li, Najib and maybe Zahid Hamidi to be the guiding lights to the crops of young politicians... Anwar, the numbers that you see in your head might be the number of sheeps jumping over the fence lulling you to sleep.
Till then...G'nite M'sia...wherever u are...
