I am not a specialist, so I am going to put down in my layman reasonings. As I already said, DSAI is no fool, he won't be screwing hookers during this time when he is already in trial and the Sarawak State election is around the corner. Not to mention, the general election pretty soon too. DSAI may not be a saint but I am sure he is not a compulsive bi-sexual maniac.
I first learnt about who DSAI was when I was in primary school. He was the Education Ministry then. He was the reason my classmates laughed at me. I spelt his name Anuar instead of Anwar in a test paper. Even to this day, I don't find anything funny in that, I didn't care who was who in the government then, so not knowing the correct spelling of his name is not a big deal! Plus I was only in primary school :(. I was pretty upset about it. Evidently, I still am upset since I still can recall the matter! (Geez, do I need some therapy to let it go?)
Later, in UM, during our induction for 1st year, he came to give a speech. I recalled then he was a fantastic orator. I didn't really get what was the gist of the speech but I was impressed and enjoyed his speech. Also later, when I was more mature, I didn't really like him because I heard that he was a haughty minister. But when he was brought down ruthlessly like a common criminal, I begin to change my preception of him. Mainly because the things that he was accused of didn't make sense to me at all. Even if he was really a homosexual, he didn't deserve to be dragged down with no nicety, afterall, he was the DPM. That's when I think things went downhill for Malaysia. Since then bad things and badder things start to happen to our beloved country.
DSAI could have put his tail between his legs, take the wealth offered to him and leave the country. But he stayed, he was imprisoned, then released from prison and still he stayed. That's when I became convinced, he is here because he really cares and wants to make this country better. He may not be spotless clean and sinless but he is way way way better then most of people who are in power just to suck the fat out of the country for themselves. Ask yourselves, does he really need to take all this shit thrown at him, continously? But why is he taking it? I believe he has made it his life's purpose to save Malaysia from the clutches of evil. Needless to say, he is very important as the chance of change in Malaysia. This is proven by the dirty and desperate tactics against him.
I am not trying convert anyone's political views. Basically, just ask yourselves these questions. Can we trust the justice system to be just? Can we trust the police to be professional? Do you honestly believe the MACC as they spew crap? Do parents have confidence in our children education in the country? Are we teaching kids to be future racist? Do you honestly think Malaysia is doing great or getting worse?
Why do I care? I am just pendatang Cina. Just go migrate somewhere. But the truth is, I know no home but Malaysia. I do not have any interest to 'find' my ancestors in China, I don't read or write Mandarin. Instead I speak good Malay. I like and respect good people, regardless of their races. I am proud of Malaysia when we get into the international news for the right reasons. Sorry for getting kind of emotional but I, and the rest like me, love this country as much as any other Malaysians. We are Malaysians, no one is more Malaysian then the other.
I want to steal this starter line from Martin Luther King Jr., "I have a dream...". My dream is a Malaysia with no racism, no discrimination, no corruption, no more crap. When the time comes, please choose the correct people you think can help Malaysia regain her dignity. Real reforms need time, things may get worse before it gets better. But most definitely, we cannot let our country get worse and worse by the years.
