Does Anwar Ibrahim Cause Silliness?

I am amazed that to this day, Anwar Ibrahim is still capable of causing the silliest of behaviours. OK, I admit I find Anwar incompetent, and the so called 'arguments' he used in his televised debate with Shabery Cheek I find annoying as it just adds to the confusion of the Rakyat over the fuel subsidies issue.

However, now his arrest for investigation under Section 377C of the Penal Code for carnal intercourse against the order of nature without consent, or in other words, homosexual rape, is driving acts of silliness to new heights, as:

1. Road-blocks were raised again around KL today, probably to avoid risk of another phantom demonstration. This is a ministerial level silliness.


2. The police, knowing the sensitivities of appearing heavy-handed, went in all balaclava-clad again when arresting Anwar, which was silly as it detracted from the otherwise wise decision of arresting Anwar before he could run to another Embassy uninvited... most embarassing...


3. Then Anwar refused to give a DNA sample. This is silly IF he was innocent, as the DNA should be able to refute any DNA extracted from Saiful. Of course, this is only IF Anwar is innocent. If he's guilty, the DNA would prove Anwar raped the boy. So, Anwar refused to give his DNA? Silly... IF he's innocent...


4. The Bar Council President is also now acting silly by stating her hope that Anwar not be tried on allegations of sodomy like in 1998. Silly for a leader of lawyers to wish the proper course of the law is not pursued don't you think? Especially as lawyers should be pleased with such a case... such high legal bills! Unless Ambiga has another agenda... protecting her ally?


5. Parliament started going silly over Anwar much earlier, when the opposition complained about Anwar's arrest. I found it unbecoming of PAS MPs to claim slander in silly defence of Anwar, whilst disregarding the rights his alleged victim Saiful. And were the claims of Najib and his wife's involvement in the Altantuya case not slander? Or does PAS endorse hypocricy now? Silly...

Whilst I had fun pointing out the silliness brought about by Anwar, on a more serious note, such behaviour makes Anwar a worse choice than Pak Lah as PM. Think about it. Pak Lah is rather silly as Prime Minister. We know he is. But at least he is not making us silly. But when Anwar is involved in anything, silliness seems to spread like a virus across the nation!

The country can barely survive the silliness of the policies and actions of the current PM, Pak Lah, but at least we the un-silly Rakyat can do, and some are trying hard to do, something about it. But if Anwar becomes PM, he has the ability to drive us all silly! So who would save the country then...? :-)
