I have always believed in Anwar, ever since he was on trial for the first time. It was not due to the fact that I believe he was innocent; it was more of the illogical statements by the witnesses’ which were not convincing, the fact that Malaysian Intelligence could find the “mattress involved” but fail to solve kidnap cases throughout the country, and many more. This made me to doubt the trial altogether and opened up my thinking to: if you have the power, you can do anything you like, even rigging a court trial will be as easy as walking into 7-Eleven for a bottle of milk.

The by-elections are over. Pakatan Rakyat has lost the battle. The victories for the BN will be an indicator to them that they are ready to bounce back and claim back their 2/3 majority in Parliament and regain the “Lost States”. However, we will prove them wrong. We may have lost the battle, but we haven’t lost the war, which can be held as early as the end of the first quarter of 2011 based on predictions by many.
We must take these defeats positively and use our strengths to leverage on the weaknesses and challenges that were faced during the by elections. I will not use the Batu Sapi by election results to mock or insult the strong/hardcore supporters of SAPP, but I do encourage those who know not much of the party’s history to reconsider before blindly supporting it.
The slogan “Sabah for Sabahans” is not new. Go back to history and find out. I speak to a lot of young people everyday who are not registered as voters, but are insisting that SAPP is the chosen one that was sent from above to bring Sabah out of its misery. Most of the people I speak to don’t even know what the slogan means. To understand the true meaning(s) of” Sabah for Sabahans”, you need to talk to political veterans, some will tell you that it has very much to do with top positions in the state Civil Service, where priority must be given to the locals instead of in bringing re-enforcement from the
west (Peninsula) which we really do not need. Baca Seterus Disini
