Indians, Chinese ignore video war against Anwar Ibrahim

Malaysia News.Net
Wednesday 20th August, 2008 (IANS)

A night-long video war featuring the aide who has charged opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim with sodomising him is raging in the tiny Permatang Pauh constituency in Penang, where an electorate of less than 60,000 is swinging between the 'propah' and the profane.

The video shows a handsome Mohammed Saiful Bukhari Azlan repeating the charge and swearing by the Holy Qoran, media reports on the key by-election to the Malaysian Parliament say.

The polling is due Aug 26. Ibrahim hopes to win and return to parliament 10 years after a similar charge ousted him from the post of the deputy prime minister and finance minister.

'By now, most people in the vicinity would probably have memorised the actual words recited by Saiful, including the highly-explicit phrase.... Some found the explicit part in bad taste, others thought it was plain vulgar. A few thought the 23-year-old boy was trying to further sensationalise the issue,' The Star newspaper said.

'Still, Saiful looked earnest and even more handsome on the big screen. The camera, as they say, loves him,' the newspaper added.

But ethnic Indians and Chinese, who form 30 percent of the electorate, numbering less than 19,000, appear to have made up their minds and have ignored the video war, says the reporter covering the campaign in a news analysis.

'The common refrain in this by-election is that the voters have made up their minds. This is very likely the case for the Chinese and Indians.

'The Chinese sentiment at this point in time is that they want choices and alternatives. The days when they felt beholden to only one party or a coalition have passed and they have really bought into the idea of a two-party democracy.'

Permatang Pauh to an extent reflects the national ethnic balance in that Muslim Malays account for 69.4 percent of the population, the Chinese for 24.5 percent and Indians, although eight percent at the national level, for six percent.

The Malay vote is harder to read. Both sides have their core support, but there are still fence sitters waiting to be persuaded, says the newspaper.

Thousands of workers belonging to both the ruling coalition Barisan Nasional and Ibrahim's Parti Keadalan Rakyat (PKR), besides his allies, have thronged this one-street town, as large numbers of police personnel keep a strict watch.

The place is hit by humidity and 31 degrees Celsius sun - when it is not experiencing torrential rain. Neither has affected the campaign, which began with a spot of violence.

Barisan has fielded a local legislator, Shah Omar, but it is an uphill task for him, considering that Ibrahim has won the seat since 1982.

After Ibrahim was barred from contesting, his wife Wan Azizah Wan Ismail scraped through with 590 votes in 2004, but scored a thumping 13,338 vote triumph this March.

The couple, which heads the opposition alliance, has emerged politically strong from that election with 82 members in Parliament and control of five of the 13 states.

Wan Ismail was the leader of the opposition till she resigned last month to facilitate the by-election.

BN has loss all its senses

The case is pending in court and BN is using it for campaign, wouldn’t it be a contempt of court and is such a bad taste. BN has nothing to show to tell the rakyat that they should be the right party with 50 years of ruling experience? what a pity of using such technic

All Change

DSAI will be a high profile PM. He is well known and respected in world politics. I think todays Malaysians have moved on to a different level of thinking. BN still clings on to stale politics. Change in Malaysia will do us all a lot of good. God bless Malaysia

Something is wrong about Saifull:
1.why is he campaigning for a political party?
2.why is he enjoying himself and trying to get publicity?
3.why is he not shameful about the incident?

Malaysians already know the answer!!!

Truly Sai Full (Hokkien means shit full)

I agree. A man after going through a rape experience will not be proud to go around exhibiting himself after what happened. Cannot imagine His father supporting him all the way. What are they going to get from this RM1.0 million for a Sodomy crime? Cannot imagine Saiful not able to run form DSAI, unless DSAI had a GUN.

Election Time & Old Tactics

Sodomy case should be put aside and arrest should be made if Saiful goes around swinging his handbag of stories. Not careful he will be raped again by the mob. One murderer with D24 xplosives still wandering around dangerously and case is still ding donging on.

Sad

If sodomy actually occurred than by being in video and continuing to discus this in the media is continuing to rape the victim. Malaysia shame on you for using this as publicity for the good of some politician. If the act occurred the victim needs help if not than put in jail the accusers who are using a nasty subject to ruin another person.

The accusers are using an interesting subject to discuss. I wonder what is the sexual preference of these accusers????

Swearing and Suing

Malaysia is full of swearing and suing. If BN wants to show its sincerity and honesty, then all UMNO MPs should get hold of a Koran and swear that they are true in doing what they are doing, no murders, no sex outside marriage and no corrupted income. DSAI only one crime and the others might have more than one and getting away and pointing finger on DSAI. Throw the first stone only if you are are clean and true to your Islamic belief and never ask another to swear on the Koran when you yourself dont have the guts to do it.

BN time to pack and cabut. MCA, MIC and Gerakan and {PPP really did not stand up to the rakyat,s wishes of a truly multiracial and multicultural Malaysia.BN failed. When DSAI becomes PM, all the corrupted BN gang will be marching to Sungei Buloh Prison Hotel. Hey, get your rooms booked quickly.

Wait N See

We,the rakyat,dont really know who is right or wrong,only Anwar and Saiful knows better what actally happened.So let the court decide. One fella swears on Quran, and the other fella refused to give his DNA, so we all wait and see instead of assuming this fella is talking rubbish and the other fella denied profusely on his campaign.

terima kasih Cik Puan Wan Azizah

"After Ibrahim was barred from contesting, his wife Wan Azizah Wan Ismail scraped through with 590 votes in 2004, but scored a thumping 13,338 vote triumph this March”. Reading this news brings tears to my eyes. Just imagine the wife had to hold the spot for the husband all these years. Not an easy task, I am pretty sure she must have gone through lots of threatnings and insults. All thanks due to Wan Azizah for making this happen. There is no words to express my gratitude for what your have done for not only for your husband but also to many malaysians looking forward a new day dawning.

Wayang Kulit

Although the wayang kulit has been banned due to its Hiuduism storyline, The BN has revived it in recent weeks.what a sandiwara.Poor things, god help their poor pathetic souls.Think Malaysians are stupid, that is how you are treating us now by replaying this incident every day in the newspaper, end of the day they will get screwed again from behind just like March 8.Don’t learn from mistakes keep saying idiotic things keep doing wrong things again and again.And say that the Perak govt is corrupted.They forgot the submarine deal and Altatunya case then all Malaysians will be faced with another 10 years of screwed up lives.Vote for what you think is rightWe have lived(devil) for 50 years!!!Another 50 more???Think about our kids

Man Vs Man not easy.

Being sodomise is no fun! why is saifu
keep recalling this unhappy incidence?
He should cover himself from the public, and try to minimize all publicity. But instate he is acting like a hero or celebrity, doesn’t feel ashamed at all? Furthermore, To sodomise a man is not an easy task if the other partner does not give in or willing.
How can a person make you pull down your pan willingly and get screw without force what do you think he is? If you don’t like it you can run, but you are not. You instate enjoying yourself, later on you reported to the police. Remember you are a man!! Not easy to sodomise a man. If know what I mean.
Three things make a person keep recalling this shameful act. 1)MONEY after got screw(enjoy). 2) Somebody is behind this (Political Reason).

WEAK

Of all the drama in the By Election !!! It said that , we have a VERY WEAK Leader and seem playing hard on defensive role instead of attacking. I really don’t understand and how they able to work on the 2020 VISION which is the Dreamt and Vision of every Malaysian... The Leader is now moving to that extreme to bring out SAIFU and hopefully Chong Wei is not the next Show for BN to acheive the By Election Result to their favor.

Indian, Chinese ignore against Anwar Ibrahim

I just wonder why a real bastard story of Saiful just begun,before Anwar plan
to have the by-election at Permatang Pauh? Why didn’t he start from the beginning of the earliest time,or soon after March election.This case tries against to attack Anwar’s a very good response at his Permatang Pauh election.This is really a political motive,trying to prevent Anwar from the Parliment seat.So,don’t about this case.This is really a nonesense idea and trying to turn people’s idea into a stupid reaction.I don’t believe all 27 millions of peoples in Malaysia could believe as such stupid tartic as what they could believe.Anwar, would win with a big majority at Permatang Pauh.So,don’t hang yourself around.Go ahead and make full supports for Anwar.

Laughing stock of the world

What have we become...well I for one never once vote for BN even when I thought BN party is the right ones to govern our country. We never have enough voice of opposition in the parliament so lets hope anwar case will teach us to vote sensibly. When someone like DR M been in the premiere too long pride becomes his priority. Such a small country like us doesnt need to have the biggest and the longest at everything...why compete with other countries when there are many people at home still struggling to make ends meet.
We desperately need the change..nobody is more credible than Anwar to lead us now...please open your eyes to the truth. May Allah bless him and all his family for keep on fighting for justice.

Poor saiful,as Anwar said he has been instigated by top officials to tarnish him to keep him from running against the barisan.Malaysians 'wake up” This is a great opportunity for malaysians to vote for Anwar, for change. Saiful has to pay the price to swear on the Quran,God is watching everything.
