It appears that since the 2008 elections there has been
mounting arsenal targeted at one man – Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. And along with
that snippets were also trained on anyone who aligned with this one man. That
explains too then why Lim Kit Siang and several leaders within PAS were not spared too.
With the GE-13 wind of discontent gaining speed, DSAI
suddenly becomes the mega-demon-monster. He is the prime target for everyone and
anyone counting and betting on the BN-UMNO bandwagon ride to favors, fame and
rewards. that includes the main stream media too. Anwar is now the key crook wanting to destroy this nation.
He is the one who is behind all of these surging Blackout 505 rallies. Anwar is
this. Anwar is that. Anything that is against the BN-UMNO agenda or mantra is because of
Anwar.
The flip side of this anti-Anwar madness also
reveals how
much an entire army of politicians, PDRM, EC, and all the entourage of
BN-UMNO included, fear just one lone man. Does it not tell us much then? Truly, a leader of contemporary times is one who has proven
himself or herself through and through all the tests of times. In fact BN-UMNO
patriots are already confirming this truth too.
Here is a man who has fought, and fought hard and withstood
all the unending persecutions, fabrications, beatings, imprisonments,
injustices, deprivations, humiliations – all of these and still commands a 51%
following if not more.
That is truly great is it not?
Which one man or team of men
and women within the BN-UMNO raider’s ark can lay claim to what Anwar has persevered
and achieved so triumphantly? In fact, even those who look up to Anwar and recognize his
tenacity, endurance, conviction and commitment to battle on despite the
avalanche of attacks, destruction and derailments are suddenly made out to be
enemies and threats to BN-UMNO too.
How sad, how miserably sad. Indeed this is what we could
term as political bankruptcy. When corruption, deceit, ill intentions and
self-profiteering become a cancer, the perpetrators will certainly want to crucify
their very enemy. And in this case it is Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
But let history remind us again.
If Anwar is made to fall,
the nation drowns. But the same may not hold water for BN-UMNO. If anyone
within BN-UMNO or even BN-UMNO collapses, the nation will quickly rebound and rebuild
itself. Now, please do not be tempted to translate this as seditious or
treason! It is only a plain fact.
Of course all the pro-BN-UMNO diehards and especially its beneficiaries
will not like this article. But the truth is, to haunt Anwar is to affront more
than half the nation’s popular conviction.
