Still a little too much going on for me to write very clearly, but some snippets. Anwar: Anwar said the allegations were aimed at derailing his spectacular political comeback as the figurehead of the opposition which made unprecedented gains in March elections, and came just as he was about to re-enter parliament. “This is their intention. You [...] update 12.30pm, 30/6: It appears that with extremely heavy heart and reluctance, I must add YAB Lim Guan Eng to the list of people to whom the post below applies :( I’m shocked that someone who has suffered terribly from malicious false charges himself could toe the “leave it to the police” line. I’ve always [...] update, 1.45am: An official press statement confirms the SMS account; Anwar calls the police report a fabrication, states that he has those documents, and will persist in revealing them. Statement is reproduced in full below. update 12.50am: KeADILan’s SMS service says that Anwar recently came into possession of documents proving Musa Hassan and Gani Patail fabricated [...] I’m informed that they are being held at Dang Wangi police station, Bob Kee among them apparently (despite best attempt to clarify, I got the wrong Bob sorry) I’m also told there is a video of some beatings; we’ll keep an eye out for that. I’m heading over there now (about 730pm, 26/8), where there is a [...] It’s not easy moving on.. * But I promised both of us I’d do my best not to dwell on it. I’m just glad her dad is feeling better :) (it was due to concussion apparently, not stroke as earlier reported. Whatever it is, I’m just glad for signs of recovery) * Speaking of which though, there are [...] dr. soon, li tsin’s dad, suffered a mild stroke last night :( all your thoughts, prayers, love and support for him, li tsin, and their family would be really, really appreciated. empty thought it may sound, i’m sorry i couldn’t do more. I experienced with Li Tsin more love, nurturing and joy than I ever have in all the days of my life. Because I am stupid, over the years, I squandered this gift in subtle, but cancerous ways. Now I pay the price. I’m really sorry sweetie. I’m sorry I took the easy way out so often; [...] In politics, players like to keep their options open. In politics as well, there is often a ‘grand plan.’ (though this appears to apply less in Abdullah’s case :) As usual, I’m not particularly keen to speculate on likelihoods, but I’ll venture to lay out what some of the landscape may be post-SAPP. After what must have [...] 4.05pm: Thanks for the early responses guys. It’s true that many different things could be afoot, many different posturing possibilities. As usual, I think I’ll take a wait and see attitude. No super high hopes, no blazing pessimism – let’s just take each day as it comes, I’m sure that amidst all the hell and high [...] Well, Khairy’s website anyway :) He discovered a totally hilarious feature of Khairy’s blog which you guys should totally check out – don’t forget to take screenshots! :) I blogged about Pratamad’s heroics some time back, and must reiterate what an amazing help he has been to both me personally and the entire movement for change [...] Almost every serious “intellectual” or “economist” I know bemoans fuel subsidies – the gist being it simply doesn’t make economic sense to subsidise fuel. Having heard the arguments, I can lend some sympathy to this view; efficiency, after all, has always been something I’ve found sexy. I did a brief survey of what’s been written while [...] Just a quick plug for Benar’s Memorandum on Media Freedom, an initiative of some very hard working people. There’s also a Benar blog worth checking out.
