I am no supporter of Anwar. The very fact that he used to be UMNO made me very wary of him. However, since 1998, I have known in my head that this man has been persecuted and prosecuted, not for the reason of "carnal intercourse against the order of nature", but because he has become a force to reckon with by the current government who have different agendas.
And now, 10 years later, just when we simple Malaysians are standing at the brink of a better Malaysia under a more transparent future government, another enforcement and judiciary fiasco occurs. Another allegation. With the same victim; Malaysians.
Many Malaysians like myself had great plans for our future in Malaysia, if Pakatan Rakyat takes over. You see, only when the government is willing to deal with a stern hand against corruption at all levels and injustice, will we simple Malaysians make a difference in our own little niche. We just need a government, enforcement and judicary that we can trust to carry out the correct actions against corrupt officials.
But no. That will never happen. If someone as visible as Anwar Ibrahim (and perhaps very soon, Raja Petra as well) gets arrested for some weird sodomy allegation (by the serious crime division no less!), thrown into jail, whacked out of shape and sent into ISA without hope for trial, what chance do we simple Malaysians have against such a kerajaan kuku besi?
Unless there is an extra-ordinary revolt by the people against these injustices, Malaysia is doomed, and no change will ever come.
Here is where I get angry.
I don't have much trust in the people of Malaysia. Many of them got "other" things to worry about. Such as higher cost of living. Or the fact that they are not promoted. The sad thing is, they don't seem to connect the on-goings in the political scene with the shit that happen everyday in their lives. Until they do, and until they want to make a difference, it will continue to rain shit in Malaysia.
