Kit Siang and Hadi should think again!

I do not doubt that PR can harness 100,000 strong crowd to protest DSAI’s conviction on 9^th December. And I do not doubt what Azmin Ali said:

“The system is so rotten, we have to expect the worst-case scenario,” the Gombak MP said. “Along with PAS and DAP, we will gather 100,000 people at the court to show our support to the cause fought by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.”

He also warned that public rallies would continue until the next general election if the former deputy prime minister was found guilty.

“We will continue. The same night we have a programme in Penang. If he is acquitted, then Anwar will celebrate in his home state. If not, we will go to Penang and continue our demands,” he said.

But for what purpose may I ask?

Would it not have been better if Anwar had used some common sense and NOT employed Saiful?

Would it not have been better if Anwar had NOT ask to see Saiful alone in that condo to discuss “work matters” given the possibility of that scenario being exploited by those who wish to do so.

Tapi nasi sudah jadi bubur and now what PR is trying to do is the impossible.

When Anwar is found guilty the BN government will be able to take him from that court and incarcerate him if it so wishes! They have the authority, the force and the political will to do so.

Short of creating huru hara across the nation, would it not be the right and proper thing for Pakatan Rakyat to  accept the inevitable and focus all our energy and our commitment to ABU!

So, you ask me, you are asking all of us to just accept this verdict despite the sham of a trial?

“Anwar’s trial has made a mockery of justice, and fair and accepted legal procedures; and it has been condemned as such by civil and political leaders as well as rights bodies worldwide. The failure to disclose material evidence critical to the defence; the serious flaws in the way forensic samples were obtained,stored and analyzed; the unusual and legally unsound pre-judgement of the case by Judge Zabidin at the end of prosecution case; the extraordinary meeting between the complainant and the Prime Minister, and the PM’s lying explanation for it, are but some of the proofs of a wide-ranging conspiracy behind the Sodomy II case”. 

No I am not asking any body to accept anything. All I am saying is this:

You are going against a Barisan Nasional government that has the political will to whack you all senseless.

A Barisan Nasional government that has the political will to throw as many of you into jail as is necessary to stop this ‘illegal’ gathering or demonstration.

And you are talking about a Barisan Nasional government that has the political will to kill its own people if that is what it takes to stop this ‘threat to national security!”.   

And they can also declare an ‘Emergency” to ensure another 50 years of Barisan Nasional rule ala the May 13^th aftermath of 1969.

That is the reality of what the 100,000 strong Pakatan Rakyat demonstration will do to all of us. And Anwar will still go to prison!

Kit Siang and Hadi are better leaders then this! Do not lead our people to the slaughter. This is exactly what UMNO wants you to do – a face to face encounter where you put everything on the line. If Kit Siang and Hadi do this they know they cannot stop until Anwar is free. And we know that UMNO will not set Anwar free if the court verdict is guilty.

So tell me ….who will win? As I am fond of reminding you all…even God is on the side of those with deep pockets and large armies!

It will be up to the wise counsel of Kit Siang and Hadi to do what is best for all of us. Street fighting and the spectacle of our young and the not so young being battered and bruised by the Police and shot at by the Army is not what we want.

Not when the 13^th general election is just around the corner. Not when Najib and his goons are already on the ropes desperately fighting for their life and losing!

Sabar! The end is near for UMNO and Barisan Nasional. Channel the anger we feel for this Sodomy Two trial into something positive for Pakatan Rakyat. If you can raise 100,000 people to protest Anwar’s conviction, why not raise another 100,000 more to help us with our ABU fight? I promise you that that will be put the fear of God into Najib and his goons in Barisan Nasional. Enough fear for them to   

wet their pants just thinking about what will happen to them when Pakatan Rakyat takes over Putrajaya! 

ABU! ABU! ABU!
