The Govt Is Asking For It

I fear for the rakyat.

Imagine yourself going to the Bank and borrow RM10,000 to be repaid over 5 years only to hear from the Bank 3 years later recalling the facility. Why? Because you miss one payment which does not tantamount to an event of default? Is it fair when you can't possible at the short notice find the balance of the principal outstanding to repay the Bank?


Though I believe the police has the right to detain Anwar should they have reasonable suspicion he has committed a crime, they should not do so by following the ways of Big Ears when it comes to the date of dissolution of the parliament and raising petrol prices eventhough his party has promised not to do so.

I am not sure what PDRM has in mind when they decided to arrest Anwar at least an hour prior to today's 2 p.m. appointment. But their action seriously did little to assuage the rakyat we can trust them in enforcing the laws.

The rakyat may be tired of all these political shenanigans post 8 March election but agitating them now which such oppressive actions will only increase their deep distrust and disenchantment, even if the police has the power to do so.

I hope the authorities know that they have to be seen and act independently and fairly with Anwar (whether he can or cannot be PM).

Otherwise, may God have mercy on Malaysia.

i agree with you mypo101. I am sick and tired of politics after the election, I want to know nothing of it. But this arrest brings back all the emotions again.

Geram, geram, geram....
