COMMENT | A few days ago, Anina Saadudin, former Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia member, urged Malay voters to vote for a party that would ensure the survival of their future generations.

“The Malays are split among five parties - Umno, Bersatu, Amanah, PAS and PKR. From a big race, we are now split into small groups. This is dangerous for our race. We need to think about the survival of the Malay race in this country.

“So when you vote, don’t just vote for yourself but think about voting for the future, vote for your children...” said Anina.

Two years ago, I wrote an article applauding Anina when she filed a suit against Prime Minister Najib Razak, demanding that he account for the RM2.6 billion channelled into his personal bank account.

It read:

“Anina deserves a standing ovation for her remarkable show of courage and integrity in our country today. As a member of a party that emphasises blind loyalty above all else, she was the only one who dared to stand tall. Among 3.6 million cowards, she is the only one with balls the size of Jupiter.”

“Anina is a perfect example of what a leader should be. Through these difficult times, Anina has broken many barriers. She serves as a role model for women (and men included). She is a leader with character, courage and commitment who is willing to defend the honour of our nation, even at her own expense.”

Sadly today, the same woman whom I thought was a trustworthy leader with integrity and courage, appears to be nothing but a hypocrite who has swallowed her own words....
