In Permatang Pauh, UMNO campaignhe sodomy issue. As we all know, Saifur Bukhari sworn in a Kuala Lumpur mosque a day before the nomination of Permatang Pauh By-election.
Saifur claimed that his motive was not related to the by-election. However Saifur’s swearing (“sumpah”) in the name of the religion was the main weapon for BN. BN leaders attacked Anwar for his refusal to swear likewise. Throughout the by-election, UMNO-BN workers mass distributed VCD of Saifur’s swearing ceremony to voters; and we could see banners of Saidur holding Qur’an hang all over Permatang Pauh.
Anwar insisted to preserve the sanctity of religion by refusing to swear.
My speech in ceramah, I asked what so hard for Anwar swear by the Qur’an if he just wanted to play a cheap trick? He could have done the swearing much earlier (before Saifur went to swear).
Anyway, Anwar finally got his chance to swear—today (28 August) Anwar sworn in front of the Speaker Pandika Amin Mulia and took his seat of Permatang Pauh.
The Courage to Build a New Malaysia.
(Keberanian Membina sebuah Malaysia Baru.)
(Versi Bahasa Melayu dibawah)
The year is 2008. This is the year most Malaysians finally woke up from a deep slumber. Most Malaysians were just too busy earning their living and building up their lives to take notice that times have changed and the idealism spouted by our founding Fathers have still not been accomplished for this country even today.
It was not so long ago in 1957 and then for our fellow East Malaysians in 1963 when the ideals and dreams preached by the late Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj (Bapa Kemerdekaan and Bapa Malaysia) for Malaysia were first announced and was greeted with joy in the hearts and minds of all Malaysians. The late Tunku Abdul Rahman had a dream and ideals, just like Martin Luther King, Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and many others including the prophets over the history of mankind.
Many a times such dreams were hijacked and led astray under the guise of nationalistic, racist and religious idealism by so called politicians and self declared and appointed righteous and religious persons (Little Napoleons). Individuals who have risen to continue some of such idealisms are gagged, isolated, bankcrupted, blasphemied, rehabilitated or worst jailed, for it is deemed not in consonance with the dreams and idealism of the elected parties agendas.

Dear YB,
Congratulations to PR for landslide victory. As for above mentioned tactics, it is just to show that the Be End are so scared of our DSAI. Even Najib have to come out and swearing. I just hope the 916 wish come true.
thank you
