Making Anwar the PM is not the pot of gold of the reformasi rainbow. Part 3. Anwar's war on corruption. Devil's advocate series 76.

1. Sure, Anwar needs to secure the allegiance of the Malays. They are 70% of the population. Their support is crucial. 

2. But he must not do it the dishonorable and deceptive UMNO way. 

3. By treating the people as dependents and selling them false hopes in perpetuity 

4. If he has made promises, he differs from UMNO if he keeps them. 

5. And he made many, the lowering of oil prices , abolition of TOLs, PTPTN, free education , lower food prices, good governance, war on corruption etc 

6. We must hold him to his promises and shall not listen to excuses 

7. Giving him opportunity to make good his promises is the main reason as to why he must stay on as PM for another term 

8. UMNO has given us false hopes for a long time. Don't give it another chance to lie to us 

9. UMNO is a manipulative bastard . It preys on our short memories but long hopes 

10. Always hoping things will get better but they never did 

11. People get more deprived in many ways while the elites and leaders enrich themselves 

12. Hidden behind legalized corruption masked by sanitized terms like commissions, sedekah, business deals etc. 

13. ' what is in a name? That which we call corruption will still smell like shit 

14. Anwar must stay way clear of the UMNO way 

15. Anwar's political longevity depends on 3 important things 

16. Retaining people's faith in him as a reformist. Promises are ephemeral , deeds are eternal. 

17. That's why he must keep his promises 

18. Promises given must not be treated as election coupons. They expire faster than milk exposed under the sun 

19. 3rdly, it depends on him having a team of smart people, even smarter than him . 

20. For God sake, he is the PM mustn't feel threatened by still underlings. 

21. His declaration of war against corruption must be supported by all. 

22. It won't be supported only by UMNO people. Because corruption is 2nd nature to UMNO and we can't expect it to renounce its nature. 

23. Except his war on corruption and the conviction of the clearly guilty takes on a rip van winkles pace 

24. It may take the courts 20 years to affirm the elephant is actually not an antelope. 

25. I would like him to make as law, the conclusion of a corruption case must not exceed 3 years . Long enough. 

26. It's a matter of justice delayed is justice denied not a matter of justice rushed is justice crushed 

27. Isn't it the duty of a criminal court is to advance justice for the people/state and not humor the felon? 

28. In fighting the war on corruption , Anwar must be uncompromising and iron willed. 

29. It doesn't help things to say we are not interested to jail some people as long as we get the money 

30. The term 'some' implies that we can negotiate with some people but not with others 

31. That would mean the law varies . 

32. If the shoes fit, convict. If convicted spend time in prison. 

33. In fighting corruption, Anwar must close all doors allowing corruption 

34. UMNO monetizes all. Decisions making, giving of contracts, licenses, deals and even being shortlisted 

35. These things should be made transparent not sleight of hand. 

36. The very 1st rule is to unfollow the UMNO ways 

37. Anwar must also pay attention to the corruption committed by the civil service 

38. Everyone knows when it comes to corruption, the civil service is not civil. 

39. Corruption ravages the financial health of our country 

40. Anwar must be doctor Christian Szell to these wretched Corruptors 

41. Btw, Dr Szell is the character of the sadistic dentist in marathon man.
