Between the spoken words and the deeds

Now that I have done away with the title, we can have a no holds barred debate. People like the umar who couldn't care less about a person with titles and making a show for not mentioning it, can now debate to his hearts contents. Lets clash with ideas. Sadly I haven't seen umar's blogsite so that we can pry open his arguments.

He can't because he represents the typical Anwar supporter. The hoo-hah and political yahoo types like many UMNO people with whom I am often at odds. They practice the same culture like UMNO. People like Greenbottle is another loudmouth. He is saying that Anwar is actually a gay. He doesn't understand it- he is confirming Anwar is gay when he said, what's wrong with a gay becoming…so he Mf all people. That still doesn't dispel the perception that he is stupid.

When Anwar shocked all his friends when he joined UMNO- he was appointed as minister in charge of youth and culture. He didn't do anything other than declaring he will ABIM-nise the youths of Malaysia. That was about it. He didn't accomplish anything there of significance other than warming the seat. Of course he made himself out as Dr Mahathir's alter ego. Both were using each other. Anwar benefiting from Mahathir's patronage and Mahathir riding on Anwar's iconic influence of youths and among the bourgeois Malays searching for spiritual identity.

It wasn't to be. He got corrupted by UMNO's ways as he went along. What was there of any significance that Anwar created when he was minister in charge of youth affairs? Nothing. His supporters will be hard-pressed.

He was then appointed agriculture minister. Nothing of significance there. He cant touch the trail that Sanusi Junid did when the latter was agriculture Minister. Pasar Tani? It was Sanusi's idea. At least Sanusi had bizarre, laughable and zany ideas. Some worked and some didn't. at least he wasn't barren in terms of coming out with ideas. Anwar didn't do anything other than look after animals, crops and shouting about land reforms. No land reforms took place.

Next he went onto become minister of education. Ini Mahathir punya cerita kita tidak faham. Anwar was more or less groomed to become the next PM by this time and his elevation as education minister, usually read as a stepping Stone to becoming PM was lapped up hungrily by his supporters. By this time all he did which is what he's good at, was placing his supporters at strategic places. They were to lie in wait for the D day where he will take over power. He replaced bahasa Malaysia with Bahasa Melayu and instructed all media to use Bahasa Baku.

Of course by this time he has forgotten his Amjal Resutarant days , his Kurta shirt and his chapal days. He had adopted the Zegna suit persona, the man with the blinds, a new way of self projection. That's ok, because we can't fault him in so far as styling goes. He is good looking, articulate and can do no wrong.

His stint as Education Minister was remembered for the mess he created- non Malays having to study Islamic religion, the widespread usage of Bahasa Baku, that tongue twisting language form only people like Johan Jaafar likes.

Let's talk about shared ideals- crush corruption, nepotism, cronyism, democracy, rule of law etc.

When he was gunning for the timbalan presiden post- it was Anwar who made the buying of votes into an open spectacle. No scruples and no shame. His people will carry brief cases laden with cash to pay UMNO delegate sin Sabah. He himself orchestrated the buying of ketua bahagians and delegates.

In 1991 Anwar was appointed Minister of Finance. In 1993, he became Mahathir's Deputy Prime Minister after winning the Deputy Presidency of UMNO against Ghafar Baba. There is report on Anwar using large cash payments to win support. Anwar is alleged to have resorted to money politics to secure his position as deputy president of UMNO. Anwar's followers were witnessed by even foreign journalists handing out packets of money to acquire support of UMNO division leaders. These followers are said to be working under Anwar's instructions.

And nepotism and Cronysm?

Mahathir issued lists of cronies who had benefited from government share allocations and privatisations. The list included Anwar and Zahid, along with several of Anwar's other allies. In the list, Anwar's father and his two brothers are showed to have received shares allocated by the government for the bumiputra. His father Datuk Ibrahim Abdul Rahman and his brothers, Farizan and Marzukhi holds shares amounting to more than 7.1 million units in three companies. On 2 May 1998, Dato' Ibrahim Abdul Rahman, owned 250,000 shares of Pengkalen Holdings Berhad and 3,790500 on Nissan Industrial Oxygen Incorporated. Farizon owned 250,000 shares of Pengkalen Holdings Berhad. Marzukhi owned 2,800,000 shares in Penas Corporation. In the list, Ibrahim Abdul Rahman owned 2,000,000 shares in Industrial Oxygen Incorporated Bhd on 1993.
