Anwar.

10.2.2015.

Md. Nor Zakaria used to say once a dog eats shit, if it can't eat it again, smelling shit will do.  I don't know if there's truth in that, because if it's true, that's the mistake Anwar made.

When he got away with Sodomy I, people chuckled that he got away with it. Anwar chuckled, too. As the sitting judge at that time himself said in a public forum recently, "I believed he did it, but I'd to decide on the basis of the law, and the technicalities faced meant that I had to acquit him."

A Malay saying goes "the mousedeer can forget the trap, but the trap doesn't forget the mousedeer !" Anwar went back to his old habits and got caught in Sodomy II. 

He must have cursed himself. Remember he ran to the Turkish Embassy, saying someone's trying to kill him ? If there was any knee-jerk reaction from someone  caught pants-down for the same stupid sex crime,  this fairy tale of attempted murder was clearly one.

In the light of the Western acceptance of  public homosexuality, should it surprise us that the US, for instance, condemns Anwar's prosecution because of his sexual preference ? The Bible prohibits it, but that hasn't stopped  the US Authorities from allowing it. Unfortunately for Anwar, Malaysian Law doesn't allow it. 

It falls in place that the theory of the Anwar "rocket" that Mahathir shot down looks credible to US Congressmen, who had too often seen such drama in their volatile politics. The facts seemed simplistic, that Mahathir, after receiving the reports for a period of time, finally agreed to meet the newsbearer, verified the accusation, and believed that his protege was in his eyes immoral, and cannot be allowed to be the PM. There's no conspiracy. Nothing like the one Anwar hatched to topple Ghaffar, and nothing like Anwar's failed campaign against the "cronyism" politics of Mahathir.  Sure, with Mahathir's help, Anwar came like the typhoon. It's poetic justice that it was also Mahathir who pulled the rug from his feet.

Typhoon is "angin". Maybe now it's "masuk angin ?" But Sg. Buluh is no "makan angin". Anwar sure "naik angin"  I think.

The future of PKR ? Who knows. Even "Tuhan Harun" had his followers ! Wait for 2020.
