Anwar's Pink Panther.

Inspector Jacques Closeau vs. Sir Charles Litton

The simple-minded Malay voters did not seem to realise that such a ritual is not part of Islamic teachings. One does not use the Quran and God to gain political mileage. Furthermore, if Anwar were to do so smack in the middle of an election campaign, it would be interpreted even more that Anwar is doing so merely to gain more votes. That move could backfire badly and could in fact result in some lost voters rather than help gain more.

Sakmongkol is not interested to write on Anwar at the moment. But since, the blogger Pink Panther has given Anwar a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, Sakmongkol feels obliged to respond. He has also been featured as a ‘special guest’ in Zorro’s blog. And so, to Pink Panther’s Inspector Jacques Closeau, Sakmongkol will take up the role of his worthy adversary, Sir Charles Litton. ( Jewel Thief).

Btw, Special Guest was the title of a book written by Aziz Ishak- a former UMNO Minister with leftist leanings.

Sakmongkol got the above quoted passages from a piece written by this Pink Panther. It is from Malaysia Today. It is a narrative in the genre of mystery writings like Secret Seven and Fantastic Five. Very suited to be read by adolescents about to reach puberty!.

People! From now on, if we see Anwar invoking the Quran or reading Quranic verses, then as defined by the writer who calls himself the Pink Panther, Anwar must be seeking political mileage.

All those years in ABIM and later at every opportunity Anwar had, he has been seeking political mileage when mouthing Quranic verses.

Which also means, that he has hitherto cultivated the image of a progressive Islamist, only to gain political mileage.

Whether Anwar had swore during the PP by election was immaterial. Whatever he didn’t do then, was excusable. Because, according to Pink Panther’s observations, the voters are simple minded Malays- the kind of crowd Anwar likes. And so simple minded Malays were easily duped by Anwar’s story of being persecuted. The severity of the persecution was only ameliorated by bringing the young mosque assistant Ramlang Posigi to disavow what transpired in the Wilayah Persekutuan Mosque. What did Ramlang’s revelation accomplished? It only exposed the poorly contrived process of the mubahalah. It DID NOT clear Anwar of any wrongdoing. That issue has not been settled yet. The simple minded people, as the Pink Panther described the electorate of Permatang Pauh, did not appreciate the difference. That’s OK, we can live with that, but the Fat lady hasn’t sung yet .

There is only one explanation as to why Anwar steadfastly refused to swear upon the Quran. He is guilty as hell. Many know Anwar is the king of kelentong in Malaysia. Remember he feigned fatal affliction of a bad ailment which he miraculously recovered. He can play badminton in Sungai Buloh or ping pong without a neck brace. Once he was on the way for a medical check up or something, one guard reminded him- tak pakai neck brace Dato Seri?.. he rushed back to adorn his neck brace.

His neck was injured long before a former IGP whacked him. The rest of the public, knew the reasons why he was thrown off his horse:-

1. The horse felt something hard on its back
2. Even the tall horse couldn’t stand Anwar moralising- hence getting down from a high horse.

The biggest lie was of course about the price of petrol in Malaysia. He has regaled listeners as to how he has managed to keep the price of petrol low during his lack lustre tenure as finance minister. Yes, he was a baby in the woods when it came to understanding basic economics. His budget speeches were long in esoteric terms but short in substance. Sakmongkol remembers, one commentator who at that time, lionised Anwar was Johan Jaafar who sounded to be in a state of perpetual orgasm when trying to inflate the Anwar mystique.

The reality is, Anwar is the master story teller- besting Cedric the Entertainer. He will tell you that portion of the story he wants you to hear. The more pleasing the better( for him that is.). and so he will tell you, he managed to keep the price of petroleum low because of his personal prestige. Yes people, it is always about him and him and no one else- except Munawar Anees, Azizan, Sukma Dermawan and maybe Saiful.

The facts of the story are as follows. When he was finance minister, the global price of crude oil was between US$12 and US$22 per barrel, which were indeed very low prices. Now of course, the price of crude oil has breached US$100 (RM320) per barrel and yet the price of petrol in Malaysia is only RM1.92 per litre - the second lowest in the region. In other words, global price of crude oil since Anwar was sacked to today has increased by 400 per cent. The increase in the price of petrol in Malaysia during the same period has only been 75 per cent.

When Anwar was minister, of course it was easy to provide low petrol prices, simply because the global price of oil was extremely low. Our government is doing the same thing, working along changes in the price of crude.

The price of petrol in the country is determined principally by the price of world crude oil. It is not a function of a person named Anwar Ibrahim being there or not. But the PKR brownshirts would have none of this right- believing that Anwar holds the key to better petroleum prices.

Of course, UMNO doesn’t want him to stop lying. Carry on lying about taking over the government please. In the meantime, Mr Pink Panther can further write a sequel of this mystery story. .
