Comes as no surprise. If convicted criminal Najib Razak is allowed house detention to serve out his sentence, we will know Anwar Ibrahim has zero principles, despite his self-professed claims to the contrary, and that he has at minimum enabled Najib the criminal convict Razak to enjoy the luxury of "imprisonment" in his luxurious home. And If Najib the criminal convict is given a pardon by the so-called king, who himself is of dubious character, we will know Anwar will have masterminded this too. Then it will be a case of Anwar Ibrahim not having the testicles to stand as a principled man but one who has abused the power of his position and of office. This, too, will come as no surprise, given what the world knows of the racist, corrupt politics (or political economy) of Malaysia under Malay tutelage (not that it would change under Chinese or Indian guardianship, for "Malaysians" are generally racist and corrupt anyway). If Najib is set free Anwar Ibrahim has no standing to be a called a "statesman" (not a single Malaysian politician, whatever his or her ilk, can claim that self-aggrandizing throne). A so-called reformist, Anwar Ibrahim has sold out those people in Malaysia who had believed in him to turn Malaysia around from its decades-old hideously racist and corrupt dogma and manifestations). All Anwar Ibrahim has done, since his elevation -- by din of the last king's choice (but not wisdom) -- was bend himself over to his UMNO alliance chiefs who have had him over the barrel in the real political stakes as his lilly-livered PKR continuous fails to get traction amongst the Malays and hence weakens Anwar Ibrahim's testicle-less political legitimacy, especially as that country heads for its next general elections. The rub here is that neither does UMNO made any inroads to winning over the hearts and minds of Kampong (village) Malay-Muslims. One thing is certain: if Najib the convicted criminal is set free from prison, and then pardoned for his swindling crime, PKR is so damned, and so will UMNO, which will see its position in Malaysia slide into the proverbial old Kampong Jamban (toilet) where, frankly speaking, PKR, UMNO, Perikatan Nasional and PAS suitably belong. Anwar Ibrahim, the douchebag without testicles, has sold out the country. This is not atypical. After Tunku Abdul Rahman, Hussein Onn and Ahmad Badawi, three former prime ministers and all Malay-Muslims, every other Malays prime minister has sold the people of Malaysia down the river for their own political -- and personal financial -- gains. Anwar Ibrahim, by any measure, is a rank Malay-Muslim two-headed, two-tongued snake.
How can we strengthen Anwar’s position such that he does not have to go this far in appeasing the Bosskus?
Let’s for a moment take it that there’s more than meets the eye on the power differential between Pakatan & Perikatan.
That the differential is a stubborn bitch. And one has to be in power to do the essentials. That the cost of not going for this “Faustian bargain” is manyfold more chicanery from PAS & PRN. That latter will aim better this time round.
That Najib is a spent force who has no want or chance of engaging in power politics anymore.
Then why you might ask does the UMNO leadership fight so hard to get this massive concession?
