There is a sense of deja vu isn’t it? It was almost 10 years ago when Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim (DSAI) was accused of sodomy and later proven not guilty. I still remember vividly how his first sodomy accusation shocked the nation and left Tun Dr. Mahathir "no choice" but to sack him from the cabinet. Of course, we know that during that period, Dr. M’s relationship with his then deputy (DSAI), had reached its lowest mainly due his outspokenness on Dr. M’s leadership (especially on the point that he’s being there for too long). And we all know that his "Reformasi" movement led by his strong followers did not really reform Malaysia at that time.
Now, after 10 years, the same story line seems to be rewritten but with different casts, especially the involvement of a university dropout, Mohd Saiful Bukhari. I was thinking deeply over the last few days, reading various resources and relating it to the previous incident in 1998. Why sodomy again? If the government is really planning a conspiracy over DSAI, why would they choose the "same storyline"? Did Anwar really perform sodomy? I do agree with Kenny that the accusation on DSAI in 1998 is perhaps questionable, even Tun Dr. M. partially admitted it was a mistake. But sodomy again in 2008? Well, i’m not in a position to judge DSAI. I guess Malaysian politics are getting "uglier" lately, especially when seeing a lot of our MPs behaving rudely in the parliment. Wawasan 2020? Sounds more like Keganasan 2020 to me!
