Kalau nak jadi pemimpin, pertama elok, kedua pandai;
There was a Statuory Declaration albeit the evidence was from an informer, but Declaration it still is! Then came the shocking police report, here we go again…same accusation different accusor ..(still remember those Masjid Negara, Dataran Merdeka days hmmm)
The blogging scene gone wild, with new postings and alerts, with those two subject matter..
I would like to reproduced, of what Dato’ Kadir Jasin said (personally, I think he’s brilliant)..
1. All these are not good for Malaysia;
2. Our leaders spend too much time defending themselves than defending the people;
3. Our international image is being systematically undermined;
4. At the end of the day there’ll be no “leaders” — good, bad or indifferent — left standing;
5. Tell me Bru, where are we heading?
Tell me dear readers, where are we heading?..dont you shiver just looking at the questions? My pray and du’a for this young nation …
A good article on what has change 10 years back ( since last sodomy charge). (sourced also from Jeffooi.com)
‘ JUDICIARY:
In 2006, the Court of Appeal comprising Justices Gopal Sri Ram, Hashim Mohd Yusoff and James Foong unanimously allowed Sukma’s appeal and set aside the conviction and jail sentence.
The judges said they were convinced that “in the circumstances, the conviction was wholly unsafe.”
MEDIA
There will not be the Pravda-like journalism of 1998 which saw the NST, Malay Mail, RTM and TV3 convict Anwar even before he stepped into court. Why? Because the editors know that the punishment from Malaysians will be swift and painful. Why? Because the media bosses know that unlike 1998, Malaysia’s alternative media is fully developed.
If the mainstream media is one-sided, Anwar and his supporters can take comfort that the public will turn to the vast number of blogs and news portals that have mushroomed in the last decade for their source of information.
THE OPPOSITION
Today, Opposition politicians have the stature and command the respect of a significant number of Malaysians. They have the numbers and can send the country into paralysis with demonstrations if they choose to do so.
A MALAYSIA THAT SAYS ‘NO FEAR’
If the police believe that they can walk up to Anwar’s spacious home, whisk him away in unmarked police cars and detain him indefinitely under the Internal Security Act like they did in 1998, they will be in for a rude shock. Not only will Pakatan Rakyat bring large crowds onto the streets across the country but the authority of the BN government to rule Malaysia will be severely undermined.
Anwar has to be given due process, the police investigations must be transparent, and the evidence must be able to withstand the toughest scrutiny. Otherwise, it will be Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and his administration which will end up being on trial. And it will not be a pretty sight.’
Further, when two entertainment bloggers, whom on rare occasion decided break from their entertainment postings and blog on our political scenarios,it speaks that Malaysians in all aspect of life are tired with this political charade (?), ala michiavellian style.. like sultanmuzzafar said lu pikir laa sendiri, and enough is enough said mrmanager.
