| After the Video – What’s Next? Posted: 27 Jun 2011 01:14 AM PDT The charge against "Dato T" should have been dispensed with in the normal way without resorting to this song-and-dance routine. There was no need for the defence lawyer to call on the Attorney-General to charge Anwar for false reporting, nor was there any need for the big speech about a "mission accomplished". But, as always, Anwar's good fortune has been the BN's inept handling of even the simplest of issues. At the rate things are going, the public will probably not care if the tape is a fake or genuine. If this continues to be the prevailing sentiment, then political parties like DAP and PAS will continue denying that the person depicted in the video is Anwar. They need not be interested in the truth. They are interested only in the votes they will get by sticking with Anwar. That's the tragedy of Malaysian politics. The hatred of UMNO and the BN has coalesced and morphed into something equally dangerous. Merely for the sake of an opposition, people are prepared to embrace a liar. People ignore evidence, or, better yet, they are prepared to accept new principles of evidence just to suit the Opposition. Together, they are willing to plant and grow the seeds of conspiracy and to blame it all on the Police and the Courts, and so on. Anwar's refusal to admit the truth should disqualify Anwar as a candidate for the forthcoming General Election. Why is a bankrupt unfit to be a Wakil Rakyat and disqualified automatically from standing, and yet a serial liar is not? A bankrupt is someone who has had the misfortune of not being able to pay his or her debts. That's all. On a moral scale, how is a bankrupt less desirable than a leader of the Opposition who knowingly tells lies to the public and refuses to acknowledge and accept his failings, but instead agitates the people against the Government solely to protect himself?
