Anwar Ibrahim

I need to make comments on the whole anwar ibrahim sodomy things. I just could not resists it.
I have no political affiliation. So I will try to see them objectively.

No need to comment on the case itself, on whether it is baseless or not. The political blogs are doing their part of this great blogging world by dissecting this matter. You could go to Malaysia-today or read in Malaysia Kini.
I think I would rather go on what had happened, based on what I have read on the web and the blogs.

1. Pictures.
The 'mole" was photographed with numerous BN ministers, and TPM's aide. But personally for me, it did not mean a thing. There are numerous persons in this world who are just want political and business mileage by taking photos with VIPs and brag about it. some just do it for fun, and to add to their collection.
Saiful Azlan probaly one of those person who love to take photos with VIPs. And he might got the opportunity when he was the student leader in UNITEN. Thousands, if not millions of people take photos with the VIPs everyday. And the picture was taken during an event, probably those involving university students.

Most of the minister pictures have to do with student or the youth. Mustapha Mohamad was Higher Education Minister, while Azalina was Youth and Sportes Minister.


Unless it is take while having vacation with the VIPs -- as alledged in the Lingam case, which still cannot link them. The travel document did --, then I don't think a picture or two with ministers would qualify you as a mole.
Then you might somehow went to the TPM's office to deliver documents, met one of his aides. snap.snap then you got a picture or two at the entrance of the office, and then you are now a BN's mole.
It just does not connect even if the picture is taken in Australia, since you just might bump into the VIP while you are vacationing.

2. The "mule".
Numerous PKR supporters website discussed on the mule. What makes me baffled was that no one had actually worked for the person to be kicked out of PKR. Information about Saiful was available even in the web, as he was one of the student leaders of Uniten. The picture of him with Khairil Anas was in the blog of RiwayatHayat
since February 2008. Surely Anwar senior aides should have had grilled him on the matter. One would speculate that there might be PKR's attempt to put in their own mule into TPM's office and Saiful might be the failed ones. It seems that he is not the smart ones in UNITEN, and also not the popular one.

3. The other motives.
While discussing on the issue with my office mates, one had came out with another interesting story: What is this whole matter was done by Anwar himself as an exit strategy if he failed to get the BN lawmakers to switch to PKR by September 2008 as he had promised.


My last word, is that while Anwar might see this case was aimed to kill his political career, he should have given better rebuttal rather than mere meaningless pictures.
