Saiful back in picture as Selangor crisis festers
YOURSAY ‘This plan has been hatched by Umno a long time ago.’
Saiful sues Anwar for sodomy, defamation
Hang Babeuf: Oh, My Gawd! Not again! When will this pathetic, tawdry story ever end?
Myrights: This plan has been hatched by Umno a long time ago. They have been keeping this in their pocket to be brought out at the right time. It is to further distract PKR/Anwar Ibrahim while they attack Selangor on the MB issue.
In fact, the whole Selangor fiasco was engineered, beginning with the water issue.
I bet you that they have also played up the whole MB issue to entice PAS to betray Pakatan Rakyat. Umno surely has very smart and cunning master strategists on their payroll.
In summary, Malaysia is doomed. The Pakatan coalition is just too weak and fragile. PAS and DAP can never have a common vision for the future of Malaysia.
Pakatan also lacks having highly paid and smart master political strategists and they don't have deep enough war chest like Umno.
So, the problem with Pakatan is they got out-manoeuvred by Umno, and PAS being so predictable, seals the coalition’s fate after being enticed into the honey trap laid out by cunning Umno.
Pakatan should just drop PAS completely and make it easier for the rakyat to pick between a racist/religiously fanatical coalition of Umno-PAS and a more secular, non-racist coalition.
I have always hesitated to vote for PAS but I voted for them anyway in the last GE because I wanted Pakatan to win.
What PAS is doing now reaffirms my fear that they cannot be trusted, so my vote will never go to PAS ever again.
Malaysia may digress further for a little longer as a result, but I would rather we cut off the diseased limb now before it infects the rest of the body.
Homesick: Myrights, I agree with what you said, except on one point. You are wrong in saying that Pakatan hasn't got smart political strategists. The exact opposite is true in my opinion.
The one big advantage and only thing Umno has got is a bottomless pit of money. Everyone knows that money can do wonders and can be used to buy almost anything.
What do you think this Selangor MB crisis is all about? Khalid Ibrahim's debt with Bank Islam, etc, etc. If Pakatan has got a huge war chest, Khalid would not have to go cap in hand to Umno.
Fair&Just: From commenters here like Homesick and Myrights, it seems the hope for change is unattainable as Umno has lots of money while PAS is lacking in brains and 47 percent of the rakyat are short-sighted.
For decades, those in government have been living opulent lifestyles, indulging in evil, sinister, corrupt, criminal and dark plots to serve their own self-interest at the expense of the unwitting rakyat.
Homesick: If sodomy did happen, it would be with mutual consent. It is not as if former aide Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan was raped. So why isn't he charged as well?
Does this not tell you something? I, and majority of Malaysian, do not believe it happened.
Swear like Saiful Bukhari, Perkasa tells MB
Ferdtan: This means that Perkasa president Ibrahim Ali who urged Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim to emulate Saiful Bukhari Azlan and swear in the name of Allah that he is innocent is putting Khalid on par to the vulgar and obnoxious Saiful.
Going by the charge instituted by AG’s Chambers against Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim, it was under the sub-section of the law that implied Saiful was a willing partner in the sodomy act.
Multi Racial: Ibrahim Ali is making Perkasa a laughing stock. If everything can be settle by just swearing to God then there is no need for police and justice system.
Just ask the suspects to swear to God. I bet 100 percent, regardless of whether they are guilty or not, they will swear they are innocent. So we have a perfect system, no one is guilty. Better still, there is no need to build jails.
If you are accuse of raping someone, just swear to God you did not. If you are accuse of corruption, cheating or stealing, just swear to God you did not.
Lawyers and judges will be out of job. See how idiotic the suggestion is.
Negarawan: Honest and God-fearing people do not need to swear in public to proof their innocence. Their conscience is clear and they have full trust in God.
Devils on the other hand are willing to do anything as long as they get what they want. Saiful is such a person.
The leader of the devils is the one who tells people what to do to prove their innocence, behaving like he is God's right-hand man. Ibrahim Ali is such a person.
Retnam: Ibrahim, be patient. Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) will soon declare that Khalid is absolutely clean. And nobody will believe it, including you.
