It was almost 10 years ago when Dato&#8217; 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 &quot;no choice&quot; but to sack him from the cabinet. Of course, we know that during that period, Dr. M&#8217;s relationship with his then deputy (DSAI), had reached its lowest mainly due his outspokenness on Dr. M&#8217;s leadership (especially on the point that he&#8217;s being there for too long). And we all know that his&nbsp;&quot;Reformasi&quot; movement led by his strong followers did&nbsp;not really reform Malaysia at that time.<\/p>\n<p>Now, after 10 years, the same story line seems to be rewritten but with different casts, especially the involvement of a university dropout,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.darnmalaysia.com\/2008\/07\/01\/5-questions-for-mohd-saiful-bukhari\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mohd Saiful Bukhari<\/a>. 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 &quot;same storyline&quot;? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.darnmalaysia.com\/2008\/06\/29\/did-anwar-perform-sodomy-some-video-confessions\/\" target=\"_blank\">Did Anwar really perform sodomy<\/a>? I do agree with Kenny that the accusation on DSAI in 1998 is perhaps questionable, <strike>even Tun Dr. M. partially admitted it was a mistake<\/strike>. But sodomy again in 2008? Well, i&#8217;m not in a position to judge DSAI. I guess Malaysian politics are getting &quot;uglier&quot; lately, especially when seeing a lot of our MPs behaving rudely in the parliment. Wawasan 2020? Sounds more like Keganasan 2020 to me!<\/p>\n<p>Another&nbsp;view by <a href=\"http:\/\/orange4k.com\/200806\/kes-anwar-satu-konspirasi-jahanam\" target=\"_blank\">Orange 4 Kay<\/a>&nbsp;(in Bahasa Malaysia)<\/p>\n<p>P\/s: May God Bless Malaysia, and&nbsp;All of Us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a sense of deja vu isn&#8217;t it?
