Anwar Ibrahim - 'Make an uproar in the east, hide the west'

Malaysiakini - Anwar warns against moral hazard!

Anwar? You all know me ;-)

It’s so hard to take Anwar seriously. Whenever he pontificated, either piously or pompously, I always look for something underlying his usual grandstanding oration.

Of course I still recall his claims of assassination when he scooted off to the Turkish Embassy, and claiming as well that the ambassador had either invited or advised him to do so. Subsequently the Turkish ambassador denied that.

Oh, don't forget the flak jacket too wakakaka.

And the real issue?

Saiful Bukhari Azlan!

Then, coming to KeADILan, a party set up with one sole purpose, to fight for Anwar’s release from prison …

… KeADILan grew into PKR with basically still the same nonsensical not-about-reforms reformasi.

After playing coy and resisting expectations for him to join PKR formally for years*, we see his wife suddenly resigning as federal representative of Permatang Pauh to enable Anwar to stand in the by-election, as a PKR candidate wakakaka.

* I've always held the belief he wants to return to UMNO, which has been why I reckon he didn't want to formally join PKR

And the real issue?

He thought his arrest for alleged sodomy was then imminent!

Now, we hear the 916 man claimed in Parliament, as reported by Malaysiakini, that he had adduced evidence of corruption and chicanery by the Umno-dominated Barisan Nasional, which led to the Perak coup d’etat.

... as if we need evidence to know that!

He also talked about corruption in Kedah, accusing the BN of attempting what had been done in Perak.

This is the best part in the Malaysiakini news article 'Bribery in Kedah': MACC ticks off Anwar: Anwar said the BN’s shenanigans in Perak and Kedah, led by the prime minister-designate Najib Razak, were done without the ‘slightest trace of shame’.

Wakakakakkakakaka – was there the slightest trace of shame in his froggie 916? Was there the slightest trace of shame in his Taiwan forays?

But leave that - Why has he modified Sun Tze’s 'Make an uproar in the east, strike in the west' into 'Make an uproar in the east, hide the west'?

And the real issue?

Elizabeth Wong!

As I blogged in Elizabeth Wong's 'Et Tu PKR'?:

Instead of looking after Eli during her most vulnerable period, the [PKR] top brass have been looking over their shoulders, more concerned about the impact of this issue on the heartland’s support (which they prefer than the current urban support they enjoy), and also fearing that their PAS partner with their conservative tight ass morality, may be repulsed into UMNO’s arms.

These senior party members (you know who) want Eli to preferably disappear from the face of the earth, but if not, then to resign and, to put it cruelly, bugger off.

Forget about her loyalty, service, and dedication to the party. She has now become a liability to PKR. […]

Oh, the pressure she had been subjected to, the betrayal, the lack of support – can you understand why she broke down into tears?

But wait, the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry.

The Malaysian Insider reported in Eli could remain assemblyman, but exit exco because those spineless Wonders now realized how blooming popular Eli is, and are shit scared of the no-no move of accepting Eli’s resignation.

Eli’s supporters and those very sympatheic to her cause may be so pissed off that they will desert the PKR banner.

Malaysiakini reported in Anwar reveals 'evidence' of bribe attempts that when the press asked him “… why he had to wait until today [19 Feb 09] to make the revelation, he replied: “We had to wait for the ACA to conclude their investigations”.

“During the last parliamentary session, I did not have enough information about it. That is why I had to wait until it is complete. This is the earliest I could reveal to you now.”

But today Malaysiakini reported in 'Bribery in Kedah': MACC ticks off Anwar that MACC chief commissioner Ahmad Said Hamdan was mad with Anwar for revealing issues on an incomplete investigation, stating: "The Kulim case is being investigated and is not completed and Anwar's statement will affect investigation."

Now, let’s re-pose the question that the press asked of him yesterday: “Why did you have to wait until today [19 Feb 09] to make the revelation.”

And the real issue?

Eli’s supporters must be marshaled back to the fold, and the best way to do that is to have an easily identifiable foe, the evil UMNO (mind you, not that UMNO doesn’t merit the title sometimes).

Distraction and re-attraction.

It’s not as if we don’t know Malaysian politics is full of corrupt practice, with possibly the only 2 parties that would stay clean being PAS and DAP.

But yes, the real issue has been PKR’s pathetic and disloyal treatment of Eli Wong, asking her to resign.

We could sense this a thousand kilometers away from the stench of fear emanating from an equivocating Khalid Ibrahim, and an unhelpful, unsympathetic Azmin Ali with his moralizing statement, obviously distancing the PKR from her, whilst ironically UMNO’s acting Law Minister Nazri and even KJ were supportive.

Added to this has been the fact that the most likely culprit behind Eli’s distress, shame and premature retirement from frontline politics is a PKR man. He’s equally gutless as well, disappearing into another country.

All in all, it has been a monumental disaster for PKR.

But the gutless deserves to be gutted!
