Anwar Ibrahim's Wikileaks

I read the news yesterday, and it’s an aspect of Anwar Ibrahim I have never really been interested in, well, for a couple of reasons. One, so long as it was consensual between adults then it bothers me not; two, it’s news that came about from a series of “I was told by …, who was told by …, who heard it from …, “ so it’s technically not factual, hearsay evidence so to speak. So what’s the big deal?

But undoubtedly it’s humongous news in Malaysia, depressingly so for the PKR camp and maybe a joyful revelation for BN.

But let’s examine in more details where or who the source was. The Yanks heard it from the Aussies; the Aussies heard it from the Sings, in particular LKY; the Sings claimed they extracted it from ‘technical’ intelligence, meaning electronic interception or even land line eavesdropping.

[don’t think the Sings are above that; my Uncs told me that in earlier days, Malaysian military people on holidays in Sing had their briefcases, suitcases and bags covertly opened if these were left unattended in hotel rooms. How did they know? Some played James Bond wakakaka].

As Anwar himself said, the source could well be Special Branch (SB). Disinformation by the SB means they deliberately issued a transmission, knowing it would be intercepted (and wanting it to be intercepted), that carried the so-called 'intelligence'.

So that disinformation could have been one of the following:

(a) S: “Datuk, he shacked me liao” on a cell phone, or
(b) MH: “Dapat dia. Dia dah hentam S sehingga sai (sh*t) pun ta’ada lagi”
(c) etc.

But if that’s the case, and the act was penetrated perpetuated, then why have the court and government medical examiner been playing silly buggers in refusing to provide Anwar’s lawyers with access to the medical records, etc. Their unfair actions have lent the public the impression they don’t have a leg in their case to stand on.

Thus I am inclined to believe that more need to be investigated, that is, assuming you’re interested in that sort of stuff.

Mind you, the above arguments doesn't mean I support Anwar Ibrahim wakakaka. I just want to be fair.
