It goes to show, Malaysia is heading nowhere but into political oblivion. And with the economic situation we're in now, it looks like the dark clouds of 1997-98 are back, to say the least. Its just ridiculous that a politician like Anwar Ibrahim will sodomise his aide, especially when he's making a political comeback after being silenced for 10 years. If he really did it, what is there for him to gain? Maybe to garner some public sympathy or even to indirectly discredit Barisan, I don't know. Even so, I wouldn't want our country to be led by some anal-fetish politician. I'm sure most Malaysians wouldn't like that.

But don't be mistaken, I do believe that Anwar is innocent and if you ask me, it is more than just a political tactic to stop his sprint to becoming PM and from what it is now, it looks like there are some unseen forces manipulating our country internally. Since March 8, not a day has passed by without having us encountering scandalicious news and revelations. Even those who were once mighty and powerful are not spared. Anwar, Najib, Dr.M, all now have red marks in their report books (they all been having it all the while, its just that the colour red is now more vivid and too obvious to ignore) and everyone seems to be in a complete state of denial, brushing them off like dust on their sleeves. It makes me wonder, where did all these allegations come from? Surely there's someone or a group of people or an organisation that's orchestrating all this (maybe we need our version of 'Deep Throat' aka Mark Felt). Its either that or everyone is opportunistically vying for a spot for power, as Pak Lah is now at his lowest point in his political career. Sometimes I think of him as an 'accidental prime minister'. Maybe after realising that there are no credible candidates, Dr. M had no choice but to appoint him as his successor (not even Najib). Or all of this could be his doing, but to say such things without evidence would be seditious, according to our country's laws.

Whatever they want to argue about, its always the rakyat who will eventually suffer the brunt of all these nonsense. Too preoccupied with themselves, the politicians of our time are no better than they were 10 years ago. It's more than just a deja vu, its becoming more of a curse. It's as if for our country to move forward it is necessary for everyone, from the streetside pisang goreng seller to the remisier at the stock market, to go through all this. Everyone is affected in some ways. In a way, it's good for the country, making the usually docile Malaysians so fed up that they have to be more outspoken just to be heard (even the slightest hint of a protest would send the polis into full alert and instead of maintaining order, created chaos). And gladly, it looks like there are more and more of us who wants to see a united Malaysia, regardless of race, religion and background. This is probably an uninteded consequence of the recent events and in certain aspects, we're maturing; as Malaysians have proved in the recent elections.

The next decade in Malaysia will be interesting for all of us to see. We have gone so far for the past 50 years, let's not ruin this place we call Malaysia, our home and pride. There's too much at stake here, for you and me. Seriously.
