What a load of rubbish! The more important issue is really which category are you in-Are you amongst Malaysians who value and tell truth for its sake or bend it for expedience and personal benefit? If you are in the first category then I value your comments. If you are in the second then your comments are of no importance! Don’t distort the issue.

The year 2011 may come and go but time is continuum and 2011 or 2012 is an artificial marker, with each heralding expressions of hope of better things to come but have things changed? The problem here is mindset where everything is made competitive but a system that for 50 years pitch Malaysians against their own countrymen based on race, religion, haves and haves not. Such a system is iniquitous and I blame it because it promotes competition based on sum zero equation and such competition is the main driver for cheating hypocrisy and taking advantage. In such a milieu the old axiom “honesty or integrity is best policy gives way to cheating pays. The feeling is if there is no level playing field then I have either to emigrate (since I can’t beat the system) or if I stay I have to offset the advantages enjoyed by others with money, right skin colour or creed or political affiliation by cheating or trading positions by monetary inducements, whether in politics business or even social/private relations. Najib knows what’s he doing by giving financial benefits to school children, civil servants etc in preparation of the GE! Unless liberty, live and let live, integrity and truth lie in the hearts of greater number of Malaysians – instead of expedience or personal financial well being over other considerations – no change in year, constitution, law, or even government will take us out of our fast descent to the abyss.

Anwar is also not my favourite but so what, what has that got to do with anything? Don’t tell me RPK does not know Anwar all these years! In his posting on14 April 2011 in MT, RPK has already said that he merely repeated allegations – TV3 even reported that his SD of June 18th 2008 was based on information from other sources – and RPK further identified the so called other sources ie Ku Li’s aide and PKR strategy director describing meeting as having objective to engineer Ku Li into Najib’s seat! The whole revelation implicates and is intended to implicate PM’s rivals and dilute the effects of whatever he had said in the beginning. In the first place, if he had known all these conspiracies, why should he so irresponsibly stir up the Altantuya issue in public which after a certain time he so generously disclose to the public the conspiracy? What didn’t he put the caveat in the beginning? To me its all spin and counter spin than any responsible loyalty to what is true.

Sorry the above posting is for another earlier thread.

Continuing: The selective prosecution suspected here is not so much between the active and the passive actors of the offence but more of the prosecution of the charge, suspected to be politically motivated, against someone who is an opposition leader, perceived a political threat, where (a) having regard to the lack of solid evidence connecting the accused to the charge except for witness/complainant’s story line under circumstances that the witness is not credible or otherwise inconsistent, prosecution that has no
reasonable prospect, under normal and fair circumstances of securing conviction beyond reasonable doubt, is nevertheless proceeded upon; and (b) other than the one charged, no one else suspected/accused of same behaviour present or past has been similarly charged, except where it (sodomy) is as part and parcel of wider range of other criminal offences such as rape robbery etc committed at the same time. (One recalls that when it comes to others like the Petronas scholar, even if they marry someone else of same sex, the reaction and the route is via counsel and rehabilitation….) Again in common law jurisdiction political considerations are extraneous, and selective prosecution based on such considerations in deciding to level a charge is improper and mala fide.
