THE TASTE OF DEFEAT

When will BN/UMNO learned to be civilized and accept defeat gracefully. Some of the recent events that took place before and after the recent General Election were a disgrace, shameful and embrasing not only to the nation but also internationally.

Prior to the General Election, we witnessed the Lingam’s Case that confirmed that the ugly incidents did took place. It is hard to imagine the people in the top judiciary were actively involved and that it was crystal clear that court cases that were tried by those involved, their verdicts could be predetermined. What had gone wrong with our judiciary? Reforms will be introduced but the public confidence in the Malaysian Judiciary System may take sometime.

We have the Heads of the Police and the Attorney General being sued by Datuk Seri Anuar who felt that through abuses and manipulations by these two high ranking officers, Anuar was confined to Sungai Buloh Prison for 6 years and disqualified him to contest in an election until April 14 2008. These two figures should be suspended from office until the outcome of the court summons by Anuar has been decided by the Court. Never in the history of this country has these two offices being sued by individuals.

The most damaging among the events that took place is the accusation of sodomy on Datuk Seri Anuar for yet the second time. Has he not been punished enough? Recent events seemed to indicate that the sodomy did not takes place at all. The doctor who did the medical examination on the person allegedly sodomised by DSAI found the no trace of sodomy on the so called victim. DSAI was right in refusing to undergo another DNA examination for the fear that it will be abused to frame him. Any way another DNA is not required as DSAI had done 6 DNA medical examinations when he was charged on sodomy in his first sodomy case.

The government was calling it foul for the leakage of the medical reports that found it way to the internet and had been now being seen and read by millions of people all over the globe. Did the government ever think on the damage over DSAI reputation or is that not important at all. Instead of apologizing to DSAI and his family and withdrawing the case immediately, it seemed that the court case will continue to be pursued.

The government is going all out to put Anuar to shame and frustrated his desire for Pakatan Rakyat to take over the Government of Malaysia on or before September 16 2008. DSAI is now set to contest the by election at Kulim Bandar Baru very soon. It was earlier reported that Ezam will contest a by election if held at Bandar Tun Razak. With the letter of resignation letter from MP of Permatang Pauh to the Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat, it is now confirmed that DSAI will contest the Permatang Pauh seat, a seat that DSAI was an MP for 17 years in a by election.

What is interesting now is whether the by election will be held or not, as the government will find excuses to deny DSAI to be an elected MP. It will also be interesting if the by election is held, who will be the BN candidate. Will BN/UMNO nominates Ezam or retain the former Masjid Negara Imam to contest for yet the third time. If denying Datin Seri Azizah the seat for Permatang Pauh was an impossible task, to deny DSAI would be just impossible, and to this end the BN/UMNO may have to put to dirty tactics as they often did whenever a by election was held in the past. And of course if DSAI gets elected, BN/UMNO will announce to the world democracy is at work in Malaysia with an opposition leader such as DSAI winning a by election. Should BN/UMNO wins in the by election the announcement to the world is that the days of Pakatan Rakyat are numbered.

UMNO in its efforts to cause disunity in Pakatan Rakyat proposed to have some talks (Muzakarah) with PAS (a component party of Pakatan). Are they sincere that they are serious about having talks with PAS. What now??? UMNO is even willing to let PAS to be the Menteri Besar/Ketua Menteri post to PAS if together they form a coalition government in the five states ruled by the Pakatan Rakyat. PAS should realized who are their enemies and friends. Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz did the right thing to direct his party to call off any talk with UMNO.
