Charge against Anwar Ibrahim
I have been going to Malaysia for at least the past 18 years. It isan amazing country among the 44 countries that I have visited. Isaw and witnessed Malaysia's physical and economical developmentsince the early 90s when PM Mahathir Mohammad was still in power.How he managed to pass the crisis without using the hands of theIMF, and even implemented the fixed exchange rate for the USdollar; a Malay man, with that quality and capability.
Incredible may not be a strong enough word to describe all hisachievements. I adore him, and sometimes I dream that this country,Indonesia, could have such a capable leader.
But he was just a human, with passion and weakness. He was sodisappointed when Pak Anwar no longer stood by his side. He couldn't accept that. Andthen we all knew what happened afterward. Sodomy charges, tortureand so on.
And then you took over. In my entire life, I have never seen aleader of an Islamic country come out as an imam at the Fridayprayer. You are an honorable leader of the 21st century.
Your people around you, every one of them should have followed inyour footsteps, and if all of them did, you definitely would neverhave lost so much as a vote in the last election.
The sodomy charges against Pak Anwar, we all knew that it was a total political conspiracy. Howin the name of heaven could such a great leader of an Islamiccountry let such an embarrassment occur?
Has political and power blinded you? Set him free, let him go onwith his political maneuvers, and let the people of Malaysia decidelater who is going to be the best for them to lead the country. Getrid of the real immoral bacteria around you.
