I swear ... you swear.. Permatang Pauh decides only its MP, nothing more

Looking at the Permatang Pauh by-election, one can only see how 'sad' the contesting parties have become..

It seems that the issue of whether Anwar is guilty of sodomy or not seem to be the pre-occupation during this by-elections.

We had that Saiful coming out and swearing that he was sodomized by Anwar just before nomination day - and then ....

...over on the Pakatan Rakyat stage - we have Uztaz Ramlang Porigi from the FT Mosque openly raises doubts on Saiful's oath that he was sodomised by Anwar. He was there when Saiful did his swearing... He raises doubts about the sincerity...etc

Then, we have good Najib, our DPM, also getting into this swearing bit , whilst playing football alone....

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has challenged PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to come clean and “cleanse his morality the Islamic way.”

“That is what the voters of Permatang Pauh want. Bersihkanlah moral cara Islam (cleanse your morality the Islamic way).

“Anwar says he cannot trust the police, courts and doctors. Don’t tell me even in Allah he does not trust?” he told reporters while visiting Taman Sembilang in Seberang Jaya yesterday.

Najib, who spoke at a gathering in Taman Sembilang and later visited a Barisan operations centre there, said the people did not want someone who was famous in London, Bangkok and Singapore.

“These were the places he took his alleged ‘coffee boy’ Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan to. Now he has denied everything,” he said, adding that Datuk Arif Shah Omar Shah was not known internationally but he would serve the people well. - Star Online, 25/8/2008 -Najib challenges Anwar to come clean the Islamic way

There is an interesting story in the Bible where a women caught allegedly commiting adultery is about to be stoned, when Jesus wonders along - and says to them potential stonners "He, who has not sinned shall cast the first stone"... and no one was there to cast any stones.

Mohd Najib Razak - I remember, it was you, who did first come out and give all Malaysians the false impression that you did not know...have not met Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan. Saiful was only an acquaintance of your staff....

THEN, later out came the TRUTH that Saiful interestingly came and did meet you - even before he did make any police report alleging sodomy (possibly before even he went to that PUSRAWI Hospital, etc...)

I believe that you have been dishonest...Mohd Najib Razak.

There has been a whole lot of talk that you are involved in that Mongolian woman's case - that now deceased Altantuya's case.

In fact, we all still remember what PI Balasubramaniam said in his 1st Statutory Declaration - which mysteriously was all attempted to be cancelled out by the 2nd SD - and then the PI and his family just went missing for a while.... (Has he been found yet?)

I wonder whether our Mohd Najib Razak did swear that he did not know that Mongolian...never met her...and is not involved in the murder...etc.. Did he swear? (He may have, since it is becoming fashionable these days BUT I seriously do not recall)

And really, what exactly is that Port Dickson scandal... Anwar also is most irritating when he hints about certain things but then do not really tell us what it is all about -- same thing with that boxes of documentary evidence that he allegedly has which will expose all scandals - or is he going to use all these "secrets" as a means to 'control' certain persons later with threats of exposure. One good thing about Dr. M, is that he discloses facts as well - and not just stops at hints.

In a rare outburst that is perhaps telling of the toll the Permatang Pauh by-election is taking on him, opposition icon Anwar Ibrahim is threatening to expose a 'dark secret' of Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's, involving the southern beach town of Port Dickson, if the latter continued to wage personal attacks against him.

"Enough is enough. Stop the scornful lies on me," Anwar warned during a rally at the Bukit Mertajam mini-stadium last night. "Otherwise, I will expose Port Dickson." - Malaysiakini, 20/8/2008 - 'Najib, remember Port Dickson?'

Sometimes, we have to pity the voters - because candidates and their campaign do not really provide them with much real reasons as to why they should vote for this person -- and not the other.

People are not bothered about alleged sodomy, etc - they say leave it to the trial and the courts, and let the due course of the law takes its course...

Who swears or who does not is really not material?

Of course, in 1999, Najib was not into this 'to swear or not to swear' position - then it was let them criminal courts proceed with the case . I do not remember Najib even questioning the jurisdiction of the criminal courts -- for, after all, is not liwat is a matter that the syariah court does have jurisdiction...

What we are seeing is a by-elections - that it all. The voters of Permatang Pauh do not represent the people of Malaysia...

The voters of Permatang Pauh - would have been subjected to whole lot of 'bribes', inducements, threats, entertainment, spin,....etc - and now, they will have to cast their votes.

Remember Ijok voted BN in the by-elections --- but come GE several months later, they voted opposition.

What will the outcome be?

* Anwar loses - well and good, maybe he can stand in another by-elections..

* Anwar wins - not too big a surprise - for after all in March 2008 (just 5 months ago), they already indicated that they did not want BN - chosing instead Anwar's wife.

If Anwar loses, will Pakatan Rakyat not come into power this September 16?

Why - because the main person working for it is no more interested because now even if PR comes into power because, he, Anwar Ibrahim, cannot be the PM --

I hope Anwar is not like this, win or lose Permatang Pauh, should not de-rail the Pakatan Rakyat plan to take over the reigns of government from the BN come 16 September (or was it all a bull-shit all along???...another spin...)
