At 11-40pm I received a very curt message that Anwar Ibrahim was arrested for sodomy. I was fishing at the Wharf and dismissed this as mischievous. At 12.03 the messenger said that the police would not arrest Anwar yet. thus confirming my initial misgiving that it was a hoax. I kept these messages to myself because I just hate rumor mongering. Earlier my credit had expired but I could still receive messages. In between these two messages an aide of MP for Wangsa Maju showed me the message he received. I asked him to verify it. He did and told me that he was instructed to blog it on the MP's blog as Breaking News. (What transpired from this is another story for another more interesting and appropriate time.....but currently embargoed.)There is this believe that when you corner a rat and the ruddy rodent cannot escape your intentions, that mousy creature will do the suicidally unthinkable.....attack you. My limited intelligence limit me to this similar parallel. The BN has been battered and bruised and the threat of September looms embarrassingly. There are already 4 factions in UMNO, MCA is having their own requiem whilst MIC is already porchee. So they use the same template that was successfully employed in 1998.....but this time the payout will have to be such that Bolehland will have its youngest millionaire (billionaire?) at 23. And the small minded amongst us are scurrying for breaking news and scoop morsels. Its definitely tiring. HOWEVER THANKS GUS FOR SENDING ME HOME.
An afterthought at 4:52am.......after March 8 is it possible than anyone would jeopardise so much for a poke with a bloke? May 23million fire-ants make nest in the anus of the author of such preposterous fabrication.

This may be in retaliation to RPK's SD; and to distract our attention.
ReplyDeleteCan ya imagine? Of all the gazillion crimes DSAI could be accused of, he gets booked on a bomb! AGAIN. I'm tellin' ya, the man gets no respect!
ReplyDeleteAnd to think I was actually expectin' something original, like smugglin' plastic explosives back in country usin' cadavers...
Amin! on the ants.
ReplyDeleteAre we going to witness Ops Lallang II and III soon.
ReplyDeletePlease give us strength to be patient and tolerant against these provocateurs for we shall triumph over evils and realising our dream of a Bright New September into fruition.

The first time this happened, malaysians conceived this as an internal umno power struggle and the indians, chinese, malays and others stayed away, but this time it involves the pakatan which involves keadilan, pas and dap, this will also pull in the fence sitters of the bn especially the umno fencesitters and supporters. this is going to be the final nail in the umno coffin as the rakyat has seen and have taken enough of the umno led govt’s bullshite(excuses), could this be also a move by najib and his supporters, don’t forget there is the case upcoming between umno and dsai as per regarding dsai’s illegitimate removal as umno deputy president, if anwar is found to be the rightfull deputy president of umno, it will tear umno apart, another thing this can be perceived to be a retaliation against raja petra’s SD, perceived to be aligned to Anwar eventhough he states he has broken off with the inner circle of anwar. These are clear signs of a major shift in political strategies amongst the warlords to get rid of Abdullah and what better way than to create this scenario, a’ la may 13, whereby ANWAR GETS ARRESTED HIS SUPPORTERS AND PAKATAN SUPPORTERS COMEOUT TO PROTEST akin to the reformasi movement of old but with a twist as dap and pas members will also get involved, agent provocoteurs let loose to create fights against police or rioting, police sent in umno supporters come out, emergency declared, dap, pas, keadilan leaders arrested, state govts taken over under emergency laws and badawi forced to resign simmiliar to tunku on the grounds of mishandling the whole issue, this also silences the internal critics like ku li, muhiyiddin yasin, khir toyo and other warlords, but in the end who suffers, all the rakyat suffers, this has to be stopped before it gets out of hand, anwar has run out of time if he doesn’t make his move now he never will, as he will spend the rest of his days in prison. guess who gets to rule, that fat ugly 2nd hand slut, behold and woe for Malaysia when this happens. the new laws that will commence will be so draconian no more attempts will be made to hide the true politics of umno, it will be zimbahwe style seizure of assets and whatnot.

ReplyDeleteyour theory sounds very plausible. its like killing two birds with one stone. No C4 required coz its a great maneouver.
This Saiful chap may be telling the truth. He could have even 'berkorban' his 'pantat' for BN, etc to get Anwar into trouble. OR he could be dreaming it up with the help of those who only know that "belakang itu Garmen punya".
ReplyDeleteBut it is a brillant story to draw attention away from Najib's perceived troubles regarding the cruel murder of that poor Mongolian beauty.
We C4ed her, you screwed him!
ReplyDeleteWhich of these is worse???

ANWAR THE GREAT BOLLYWOOD ACTOR!
ReplyDeleteOne interesting outcome from this latest 'bontot' event is the cleverness of Anwar in diverting the criminal case against him. Anwar is known for his dramatisation of events, if he wants something or trying to get out of the mud.
Remember the Baling case during his student days? Or the last trial - remember his arsenic poisoning? Remember his complaint about his back pain? Remember his dog collar always stuck on his neck when he went to courts? Remember he moved about on wheel chair? Now no back pain or neck pain. So fast got cured!
Now the truth has come out, he went to the Turkish Embassy uninvited said the Turkish Ambassador. He just deposited himself there to get international attention. He got many friends outside Malaysia, who will believe him and will raise their concerns. That's what Anwar wants.
By the way, who wants to kill him? if that is the case, he has been assassinated a long time ago! Even before the opposition could win many state governments in the last elections. Anwar is best described as the great Hindustani or Bollywood actor. Pity his wife Azizah, she has to defend Anwar because he is her husband although she knows Anwar inside out.
Hi guys,
ReplyDeleteI quote this from renovation blogged by stephendoss concerning Anwar’s sodomy case issued previously....check it out..
“FOR THE BENEFIT OF READERS, I HAVE EXTRACTED FROM THE PAST THE JUDGMENT BY THE FEDERAL COURT OF MALAYSIA, ANWAR’S APPEAL AGAINST HIS CONVICTION ON SODOMY. THE FOLLOWING IS A MAJORITY DECISION REACHED BY THE JUDGES SITTING IN THE FEDERAL COURT ON THE ANWAR IBRAHIM APPEAL AGAINST HIS CONVICTION ON SODOMY.
PLEASE NOTE AND READ CAREFULLY THE VERDICT, THAT ALTHOUGH THE JUDGES HAD NO DOUBT IN THEIR MINDS THAT THE ACT OF SODOMY BY ANWAR IBRAHIM HAD TAKEN PLACE, BUT TO RELY SOLELY ON AZIZAN’S EVIDENCE WOULD BE UNSAFE FOR THE PURPOSES OF UPHOLDING THE JUDGEMENT.
SO DID THE ACT OF SODOMY TAKE PLACE ? YES ACCORDING TO THE JUDGES. BUT DUE TO A TECHNICALITY THEY HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DISMISS THE CASE.

MAJORITY JUDGMENT OF
ABDUL HAMID MOHAMAD F.C.J.
AND TENGKU BAHARUDIN SHAH TENGKU MAHMUD J.C.A.
In this judgment, Dato’ Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim will be referred to as “the first appellant” and Sukma Darmawan Sasmitaat Madja will be referred to as “the second appellant”.
The first appellant was charged with an offence punishable under section 377B of the Penal Code.
The second appellant was charged with two offences. The first charge is for abetting the first appellant in the commission of the offence with which the first appellant was charged. The second charge is similar to the charge against the first appellant i.e. under section 377B of the Penal Code.
Both the appellants were tried jointly. The first appellant was convicted and sentenced to nine years imprisonment commencing from the expiry of the sentence he was then serving in the first trial. High Court Kuala Lumpur Criminal Trial No. 45-48-1998 (1999)2 M.L.J. 1 (H.C), (2002)2 M.L.J. 486 (C.A.) and (2002) 3 M.L.J. 193 (F.C.)). The second appellant was convicted on both charges and sentenced to six years imprisonment and two strokes for each charge with the sentences of imprisonment to run concurrently. For the judgment of the High Court in the present case, see (2001) 3 M.L.J. 193.
They appealed to the Court of Appeal. Their appeals were dismissed – see (2004) 1 M.L.J. 177.
They appealed to this court and this is the majority judgment of this court.
Section 87(3) of the Courts of Judicature Act 1964 (“CJA 1964”) provides that a criminal appeal to this court “may lie on a question of fact or a question of law or on a question of mixed fact and law.” The position is the same as in the case of the Court of Appeal hearing an appeal from a trial in the High Court as in this case – see section 50(3) CJA 1964.
To summarise our judgment, even though reading the appeal record, we find evidence to confirm that the appellants were involved in homosexual activities and we are more inclined to believe that the alleged incident at Tivoli Villa did happen, sometime, this court, as a court of law, may only convict the appellants if the prosecution has successfully proved the alleged offences as stated in the charges, beyond reasonable doubt, on admissible evidence and in accordance with established principles of law. We may be convinced in our minds of the guilt or innocence of the appellants but our decision must only be based on the evidence adduced and nothing else.”
