As is widely expected, though no less shocking, the Court of Appeal overturned the High Court's verdict which acquitted Anwar Ibrahim.

Lead prosecutor M. Shafee, appointed specifically for this appeal, must have felt great for winning this important case. How much was due to his prowess is debatable in this politically motivated manoeuvre to scuttle Anwar's plan to become Menteri Besar of Selangor.
When I read Kim Quek's article in Malaysia Chronicle, I was convinced that the High Court judge had made the right decision, and not as put forward by Shafee...

But alas, this is Malaysia, a land of endless possibilities.
I believe the end of Anwar's political life could spark a renewed vigour in Reformasi, and who better to take over than Puteri Reformasi, Nurul Izzah. She has iconic status which is likely to attract wide support cutting across race and religion. If Rafizi or Nurul had to stand for election in Kajang, I believe the voters will ensure a landslide victory for PKR to prove to BN that ultimately, the people are the boss.
