The circus is back in town with the investigation of allegation of sodomy against Anwar. Oh boy, here we go again!
First of all this better not be a political conspiracy. If the Prime Minister gets even a hint of this, he should just haul up those guys and shoot them! Ok, that might be a little too dramatic and …unlawful.
The point is, the Prime Minister should expose anyone, no matter how high up or how close they are to him if there is a conspiracy to drum up these allegations. Besides being illegal and despicable, whoever that’s behind it (if at all there is a conspiracy) should be sent to the gallows for being outright stupid and unimaginative. A second sodomy charge when the trial for the first one was laughed at and was thrown out on appeal? Who are we kidding here?
Frankly, it is a scenario that the Prime Minister could well do without right now. It is as tight and dangerous as walking a political tight-rope as it gets.
This second allegation of sodomy against Anwar could either break the ruling government or the self proclaimed ‘Prime Minister in Waiting’. The stakes could not have been higher. More then Anwar, it’s our Police Force, Judiciary, Attorney General’s Office and the Government that is on trial here.
On this score the people have already judged that there could be a conspiracy. Not only must Anwar be investigated, charged and convicted beyond reasonable doubt; he must be convicted beyond ANY doubt. Anything less, will set off PKR’s PR machinery into frenzy to turn the table against the government. And they have already started.
That is why it is inevitable that the government handles this case delicately and with utmost care. The police must not only be fair but must also be seen to be fair. Every procedure and every rule must be followed to the dot. Anwar and his army of lawyers are waiting to pounce on every technicality.
On the other hand, there is this Complainant that has lodged a police report against Anwar. Pray that he does not do a ‘Bala’ on us all on this one. Although he might have been a ‘consenting adult’, he had sought the ‘protection’ of law and ‘wants’ justice. Should he be denied ‘protection’ and his day in court just because the person that he is complaining against is the self proclaimed ‘Prime Minister in Waiting’?
If Anwar is convicted of the charge after due process of law, PKR and his supporters must accept the verdict and go on with their business without demonstrations and taking to the streets.
Enough is enough. We have seen what it is like when the circus comes to town. Let the due process of law take its course and let the institutions discharge their duties without fear or favour. At the end of the day, the integrity of the institutions and the due process of law matters more for the well being of this nation then any individual or political party, whoever it may be.

An honest and unbiased take on what’s happening. The truth is out there if only we allow it to surface and allow due process to run its course. Every one has got something to lose here. At least let justice and sensibility prevail.
Muru, I am pleasantly surprised, these observations coming from a person who is aligned with the ruling coalition, made me take second look at you. This is exactly what we Malaysians want, unbiased justice from a politician regards of their affiliations.
We are fed up with all this “circus” as you call it. We voted for people or parties that we thought will further the cause of the rakyat. PKR promised ‘Maakal Sakthi’, now I am really disillusioned with the way things are going. I am afraid the votes of us honest people have gone to waste.
Thank you

You are right about the circus. For me it's a cheap circus and the Malaysian public is forced at our own expense to watch this tasteless act partaken by a bunch of clowns, controlled by a few ring masters, who have made a joke of our legislature, our judiciary and also our parliament.

Anwar is using PKR to further his own personal cause. That is the only reason for the creation of PKR in the first place. Or have we forgotten all about ‘Reformasi’?
I can’t believe that an erudite such as Sivarasah is supporting Anwar. I am also baffled by Anwar’s calls for justice. Anwar calling for justice is a hypocritical sham! Doesn’t anyone especially the legal fertinity remember Anwar’s involvement in the sacking of chief Justice Tun Salleh Abbas along with Supreme Curt judges Wan Sulaiman Pawanteh and George Seah? How convenient for Sivarasah to forget 1988!
Now, how can a man like this, disparage the existing justice system? Didn’t he encourage and support the mechanism that was put in place for the erosion of the justice system in the first place. For crying out loud!!! Let’s not get out of the frying pan and into the fire. Malaysia is caught in a cycle of “the devil you know and the devil you don’t”
