Saw this Bernama's story just now,
Anwar rubbishes views
he is no longer relevant
excerpts:
The Prime Minister-in-waiting, who is 71 now, said the 11 years he spent behind bars had made him a person who truly understood the people’s problems, specifically of those in the lower income group and that this would serve him in good stead when he became the nation’s leader.
“There are cynical views that I am already old and no longer relevant to get back into government,” he said at the “Pidato Malaysia Baharu: Mengisi Harapan Rakyat” event at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre here tonight.
Well, looks like someone will make a better PM if he/she had spent time in jail....according to Anwar lah.
Hmmm....maybe Najib should take comfort in that. If he goes to jail over whatever they are now throwing at him, upon his release, he could become PM again and be a better one.....even if at that time he's already 71 years old.
Guan Eng should be hopeful as he had spent time in jail at one point....and so do many criminals too.
Hahaha....stop panicking, I'm just joking, okay.
Anyway, I think Anwar is beginning to realise that he is no longer as popular as he used to be and the PD Move could actually backfires.
And then there's the fact that
PKR factions are at each
other’s throat over PD move
Whatever it is, I think Anwar should just gracefully retire.
His insistence to become PM is becoming a bit embarrassing....I think even for many in PH.
I don't think someone past 70 and with such a chequered history should lead the Malaysia Baru.
Being 71 is not "Baru", okay.
I'm more in favour of the relatively young Azmin taking over from Dr Mahathir should the handsome old man really does stepped down in mid-term as promised.
Better still if Dr Mahathir stays on till the end of his days.
Ya, he's two decades older than Anwar but Dr Mahathir is of a different class altogether.
Anwar is definitely not of the same level as Dr Mahathir.
Another good thing if Dr Mahathir stays as PM till the end is that we can avoid having to go through another round of him trying to topple his successors such as Pak Lah and Najib.
Just imagine, later on, after he stepped down and Anwar becomes PM, we start to hear Dr Mahathir being unhappy again and wants to topple him too.
After all, I don't believe that Anwar is any better than Pak Lah or even Najib.
However, I think the risk of another such a campaign is less though if it's Azmin and not Anwar being the one taking over from Dr Mahathir.
Well, at least that's how I see it.
On a completely different matter, I took this picture earlier today while waiting for my cousin at the Mawar hostel of UiTM, Shah Alam,
This is right in front of the girls' hostel.
My cousin, who stays there said the garbage had not been collected for quite a few days.
Maybe it's because of the long weekend, but that should not be an excuse.
They should come up with a better system for it.
I really think that the UiTM administrators should not let this happen again.
A campus of an institute of higher learning should not look like a slum area with garbage strewn all over the place like that no matter what.
Simply not a conducive studying environment, okay.
It may also make the students think that things such as having garbage all over the place where they live are normal.
That's not good.
Hopefully they take note of this and not let it happen again.
Those who think Pak Lah or Najib is better than Anwar better get their dumb skull head examined properly. DUMBASS !
ReplyDeleteOf course Anwar is better than Pak Lah and Najib.His libido is legendary.

No brains Najib:
DeleteIf he wants some credibility, he should at least admit the facts of the money looted from 1MDB. Then he could explain how he thought it was from Saudi or was told it was from Saudi. But to argue it was actually from Saudi is a disastrous tactic

ReplyDeleteDia bukan kena tahanan di pendalaman?
PKR ditubuhkan untuk membela anwar dan ia kekal hingga sekarang.
Cuma azmin berjaya terjemahkan parti itu mesra rakyat apabila menjadi MB Selangor.
Logiknya Anwar pernah memegang jawatan Menteri Pendidikan, Menteri Kewangan dan Timbalan Perdana Menteri dan mempunyai pengalaman yang cukup luas Beliau juga menjalani dan mempunyai hubungan mesra dengan ramai pemimpin luar negara.
DeleteLogiknya Anwar tak pernah bekerja sebelum menjadi menteri. Terus jadi politician jadi Mana logiknya dia tau Susah payah rakyat melihat dari atas high cloud???

DeleteMemang betul apa yang hang katakan, tapi ia tak jawab soalan kluangman tentang kaitan anwar dalam penjara dan masaalah rakyat marhaein.
Anwar's achievements as menteri Pendidikan & kewangan: bahasa baku, istilah arab dimelayukan & imf's prescription of increasing interest rate & fiscal tightening during asian financial crisis. And not to forget the islamisation of our schools.

In Malaysian politics, being the incumbent is a huge advantage, so Najib will get shredded by Anwar.

Agreed with Gladiator.
DeleteNot only that, but by then the bulk of Umgnok will have gone to Bersatu or PKR.
The dedak bloggers will close down, in fact some of them haven't posted for weeks.
Annie not dedak blogger lah, Annie is very, very, very, very, very neutral, okay?
I don't think even when Najib was incumbent the so called advantage you mentioned was any use for him. He dared not face Tun M in debates nor face to face sessions. Of course Najib will never ever dare have a one on one debate with Anwar whether as incumbent or otherwise
DeleteSpin as much as you like Annie, but Anwar will be the next prime minister no doubt about it. A fitting one too and long overdue.
ReplyDeleteAsk Saiful about Anwar's long thing which he fitted into the young boy...
Delete"I'm more in favour of the relatively young Azmin taking over from Dr Mahathir should the handsome old man really does stepped down in mid-term as promised."
ReplyDeleteI agree.
See Annie?
Who says I always whack you : )
I agree with you.
In fact, a lot of confidence of the rakyat to vote PH into power is because of Azmin's good work as Selangor MB.
Despite the millions paid to Jamal Jamban to buat kecoh, in the end Umgnok & PAS were completely shattered in Malaysia's richest state in PRU14.
People are reduced to complaining about potholes, garbage and dengue. That's pretty trivial compared to massive Federal corruption!
Azmin is steady and drama-free.
Anwar isn't.
However, let's see.
I guess there's enough loyalty still.
Azmin can be 9th PM, after all....
considering d heading….n by all d additional dispersion around d words, he is nothing but a junk leader. being compared n coming out worse than mr najib…its d expansive view tat wrapped it all. lets wait for pd’s result if d 'accolade' can be acclaimed or not
ReplyDelete"After all, I don't believe that Anwar is any better than Pak Lah or even Najib."
ReplyDeleteYou're correct Annie. Methinks Anwar will be worst than Pak Lah & Najib, combined.
No one can be worse than Pak lah sleepyhead and Najib pirate penyanggak
ReplyDeleteIf Anwar becomes PM, cabinet kena reshuffle.. must fill up with old2 ministers, deputies etc. lagi tua2 macam Tun lagi selamat..
ReplyDeleteMacam2 Saddiq semua kena cepat2 resign.

I have reason to believe that Annie is an independently wealthy person in her own right.
It is why I have never believed the nonsense about her being paid to write in this blog.
There are other clues that suggest she is not being paid but that is just my personal opinion and I am sorry I am not able to share with you why I say so.

Well, when Najib was the incumbent, there was no need for him to entertain Mahatir because technically speaking, Mahatir was merely just another private citizen while Najib was the PM of the country.
It is like saying that Mahatir should come over to my kampung right now and discuss the longkang situation with me because I am not happy with progress on the repairs.
But unfortunately for Najib Razak, whilst Mahatir may be just a private citizen then, he was a private citizen with some very very powerful friends :)
With 20/20 hindsight, it was a very bad move for Najib to have ignored Mahatir.
Gladiator
Annie,
ReplyDelete//Looks like Anwar is beginning to feel the heat ever since initiating the PD Move//
No lah, I don't think Anwar fis worried.
Look, PH is in power and there will be no monkey business from the EC for sure.
Then Sg Kandis, Balakong and Seri Setia have all gone well for PH.
If anything, AI could be suffering from overconfidence!!
//Whatever it is, I think Anwar should just gracefully retire//
Hahahahah!!
Anwar Ibrahim will retire gracefully - just as soon as he has served as PM of Malaysia for a few years :)
//Better still if Dr Mahathir stays on till the end of his days//
I don't think that is going to happen.
Mahatir has achieved his main objective - getting rid of Najib Razak.
All Mahatir is doing now is just trying to fix things up the way he thinks it should have had been.
As Hadi Awang said, Mahatir has "mellowed" and Mahatir knows he made some bad mistakes in his time, so he is trying to correct them.
At least that is what I think he is trying to do.
//later on, after he stepped down and Anwar becomes PM, we start to hear Dr Mahathir being unhappy again and wants to topple him too//
I don't think so.
Mahatir has done what he has set out to do - get rid of Najib Razak.
It's "mission accomplished" for Mahatir.
The way I see it, Najib Razak was Mahatir's main target and UMNO was simply collateral damage.
//I don't believe that Anwar is any better than Pak Lah or even Najib.//
I see Anwar Ibrahim as having a very narrow focus - he wants to be PM, full stop.
Once he is PM, Anwar Ibrahim, will not have a clue as to what he is going to do next.
Fortunately for us, we have a reasonably strong Cabinet.
As long as AI does not interfere with the work his Cabinet Ministers are doing, it will be all fine.
AI should do what he does best - swaggering on the world stage, hyping up what a wonderful country Malaysia is, etc etc.
//On a completely different matter, I took this picture earlier today... //
Good grief!!
If I am not mistaken, property maintenance for our universities is usually handled by private contractors, isn't it?
I recall that in the bad old days, such contracts were virtual gold mines for cronies, nay, diamonds mines!!
I guess that those contracts are still on foot and may be impossible to rescind without huge compensations.
I just realised something.
There are never any penalties when the terms of the contracts are not carried out, but there are always huge compensations when contracts are terminated.
Those contractors must have very very good lawyers who draw up very very good contracts :)
//Hopefully they take note of this and not let it happen again//
I don't know how strong the student body is in UiTM but maybe your cousin could speak to them and get the student body to do something.

ReplyDelete//lets wait for pd’s result if d 'accolade' can be acclaimed or not//
Alamak!!
No need to wait for the PD result lah.
Anwar Ibrahim does not need PD to claim any accolades - he is not shy about giving himself accolades whenever he feels like it :)
For me, I am just waiting to see what AI does AFTER he becomes PM.
THAT is when AI becomes important in the game.
If AI does a good job leading a PH government, GE15 is guaranteed and UMNO/PAS/MCA/MIC/Gerakan dan lain2 can all tutup kedai until GE16.
If AI does a lousy job leading PH, then I will have to think hard about GE15.
But for AI to become PM, that is at least another 2 years away, so I am curious what he does and how he handles himself between now and 2 years from now :)

Anon 23:49, I HOPE SO TOO but I doubt it.
ReplyDeleteEven though Tun M is 93 OLD, I feel safe but not if the 71 years

ReplyDeleteAnwar has sufferred 10 years in jail and knows what hardship is really about. During his incarceration he has read thousands of books and updated himself with current events. Compared that with Najib who has never tasted hardship with priviledged upbringing and yet went on to be steal and rob the rakyat.
Anon 22:41 Anwar has suffered 10 years in jail has been stressed again and again. I am sorry, Anwar is not MANDELLA. He went to jail due to personal problem not for the country, religion or the the people. His children also fight for his cost, not for the nation. Hence, we do not owe him anything. If Anwar wants to be a PM badly, let him fight for it. We will never support him because we know which direction the wind is blowing if he is the PM. Pakatan Harapan for sure wil break if Rafizi were to be the Finance Minister. And PAKATAN MALAYSIA will take over....hehehehe
DeleteDo you want this to happen..........?????
Cik Minah,
DeleteYou are the minority hehehe.
Why so scared of Anwar? Even Nazri and UMNO fellas are supporting him and ditching Najib.
Rafizi will not be FM. Even Guan Eng has openly thrown his support for Anwar. So it is stupid of you to try to create any issue..
Anwar is the future and way forward and UMNO knows that.
As for you...continue to wallow in your jealously and self pity...hehehehe
Cik Minah @ 10:59
DeleteAnwar knows imprisonment hardship due to political persecution.
You know nuts about any kind of hardship except being a key board cybertrooper.
Enuf said.
I agree with Cik Minah.
DeleteWhile Anwar was languishing in jail, majority of the Rakyats have successfully ditch the Penyamuns into the longkang, 3 months ago.
Is it right and just for the 2 times ex-convict, although Royally pardoned, to collude with the penyamuns and the Pak Lebais, to bring-back the Penyamuns to Power, through the back-door?
Even UMNO fellas like Nazri are supporting Anwar. Shows that Anwar enjoys tremendous support. UMNO guys are supporting Anwar and abandoning Najib. Sign of the times.
ReplyDeleteAgree with Anon 9:21

Anon 11:06 & 12:49, open your mind & eyes la. The reason those umno folks support anwar is because they know anwar is like a chameleon & can be persuaded to create a new alliance. Now, why do they think so?
Delete"Even UMNO fellas like Nazri are supporting Anwar. Shows that Anwar enjoys tremendous support."
DeleteYou people must be out of your mind.
GE 14, majority of the Rakyat voted in PH which consist of PKR, DAP, Amanah & PPBM, to get rid of Penyamun UMNO as the Federal Government. However, at State level, majority of the Malays in Kelantan & Trengganu chose PAS.
We all knew that UMNO & PAS have some sort of understanding between them since May 09. Now they're already together in PAS' Muktamar.
Therefore, if Anwar 'embraced' UMNO's support, please ask yourselves:-
- what about the majority who wanted to get rid of Penyamun?
- if only Malay MPs in PKR, UMNO and PAS 'get the numbers' to form government, it will become a totally Malay-Muslim government. Is it ethical and just? Is it not an abuse of the democratic process?
- what about the non-Malays, especially in Sabah & Sarawak?
Maybe you people have already forgotten the incident, exactly 10 years ago, in which the Royally pardoned ex-misused-of-power cum sodomy convict, had once declared... 'I we have the numbers to form government'... on 16 Sept. 08'.
In that exploit, the 2 times ex-convict had schemed a back-door scam with PKR, DAP and PAS MPs to snatch 30 defection of BN's MPs to gain control of Federal government.
