Anwar, like all of us, has only one life


After what happened in 1998 when he was supposed to be ‘safe and sound’ but in fact, almost killed by the former IGP as revealed by a Commission of Inquiry, it is only natural that Anwar is suspicious, or even paranoid of police investigations and alleged political conspiracy at work, ten years later.

A re-visit to Aliran’s Rahim Noor's confession http://www.aliran.com/oldsite/ms990301.html is useful in understanding Anwar’s seemingly difficult precaution prior to his arrest and pre-conditions for giving his DNA samples.

What good is PM’s earlier guarantee of safety if a second ‘mistake’ could be fatal? Sorry will be too late. Till today, I have yet to come across an official apology, for the grave injustice, by the former PM who is known for ‘sorry seems the hardest word’, while a civil suit is necessary and awaiting hearing.

Chan Chee Khoon’s letter, http://www.malaysiakini.com/letters/86486, sums up the concern for the lack of credibility, which seems to be in the minds of most people in their coffee shop banter.
