Overkill

What started as a lie is now malignant and a life of its own like cancer devouring innocent people's lives invading minds, thoughts and the homes of the religious, the educated, the simple folk, the family, old and young even children shall not escape being tainted by the evil touch of qazaf and zina.

Trying to kill the political life of an opponent over and over again. That's Malaysia's brand of unique democracy. Clinging desperately to power seems to involve proving culpability through revealing a series of shameful "holes" where light rarely falls. Where truths, law, ethics, science, medicine and forensics are just charades of a dangerous and insane power play. A crescendo of wild accusations in resurrections in the form of a deja vu like humiliating trial, reprising DNA duels, an old political terminator's memoir and now blazing sleazy secret tapes. Where else in the world do we find DNA illegally and stealthily sprinkled onto a dirty mattress which was paraded day in and day out as if it was the prosecution's star witness in the first shameful episode of an unending saga. Tarts are employed and reemployed to add to the sordid incredulity of it all. All because of a persistent fear of losing power. The powers that be seems infatuated with looking over their shoulders wondering when Anwar intends to overtake them to wrest control of Putrajaya. So Putrajaya has to been defended by any means. Any other politician would have been obliterated but no, not Anwar.

Probably these are all they have got left. They have deployed the full array of engineered defections, treachery, spies, trojans, moles and sleepers. The controlled media has gone wild and mad over and over again spewing obscenities and machining character assassinations with scant regard that news have values, purpose and outcomes. It was still deemed not enough. Finally, they had to unleash the actual act of zina (adultery) itself, not satisfied with just illusory accusations or committing qazaf (false accusations of adultery). They had to engage people to make a show to perform such despicable scenes just to convince and influence the public at large for the sake of votes and to stay in power. What started out as a lie has now become malignant and has a life of its own like cancer devouring innocent people's lives invading the minds and the homes of the religious, the educated, the simple folk, the family, old and young even children shall not escape being tainted by the evil touch of qazaf and zina. People may not want to know about it but they shall hear of it, read of it , be informed of something vile that was intended to ruin one politician and his family.

If ever it is fated that Anwar is vanquished in the end, what is left is putrid. It is the end of justice. Lies and falsehood triumphs. Grace and honour are trampled upon. Corruption shall rear its ugly head. The economy is sliding down, our finances are shaky, no one is mending good governance, many people would be made poorer, businesses losing competitiveness, purchasing power is eroded , lower standards of living and hurtful pockets. Read the auditor general's comments on our GLCs' governance and how massive the leakages are.

This regime of corruption has to go. Like the refrain of the revolutionary Arab masses on the streets of Maghreb to Bahrain. As shab, urid, isqatin nizam. " we, the people want the regime to fall".
