Umno out to 'fix' Anwar at all costs

'Mahathir used this strategy of lying continuously against Anwar but failed miserably. Najib and Umno seem to think that they can do better.'

Datuk T CCTV footage unveiled, more promised

AntiRacial: It looks like BN is too desperate to put Anwar Ibrahim behind bars before announcing next general election date.

Unfortunately, every step BN took to 'fix' Anwar backfired on BN itself. The 'Datuk T' trio looks like they are useless - they are not good as politicians and now they are even not good in fabricating false evidence.

Pemerhati: Umno's earlier attempt to tarnish Anwar was thoroughly discredited by the photographic evidence which shows Anwar appearing in court the next day after the alleged incident with a beard, whereas the Anwar lookalike, who is alleged to have performed in the video the previous day, does not have a beard.

In this second attempt, the colour of the clothes again discredits Umno's attempt to discredit Anwar. The Umno people, unless they are extremely stupid, would also be aware that their attempt to tarnish Anwar has failed miserably.

But they continue to repeat this lie in their monopolised media and are hoping that the people will begin to believe their lies and turn against Anwar.

Mahathir used this strategy of lying continuously against Anwar during the sodomy 1 kangaroo trial and failed miserably but Najib and Umno seem to think that they can do better than Mahathir.

Anonymous_40dc: This is part of what PM Najib Razak has said in wanting to win GE13 at all costs. Umno members are not afraid of Allah and the retribution from Him in the hereafter.

They indulge in 'fitnah', slander and backbiting. What they are afraid of is losing power that with it comes the country's wealth to be plundered to maintain their lavish lifestyles.

They will ask if the meat is 'halal', but never ask if the money they are taking is 'halal' or 'haram'.

AnonymousBersih: The previous sex video was in black and white, now their standards have improved to colour. And it looks like Anwar Ibrahim's pants have also changed colour - from grey to black. Does this make sense?

Mahindar Singh: What a waste time. Can we focus on the needs of the nation instead of these stupid videos? This video could have been shot on other days - who knows and who cares.

Proarte: The issue is one of integrity. Furthermore, for someone like Anwar who has abused Islam for political benefit and who has played the role of a pious and 'practising Muslim', allegelly consorting with prostitutes exposes his cynicism and deceit.

Such a person is not fit to be a leader. Pakatan Rakyat leaders would do well to distance themselves from this human being who can lie without even blinking. Anwar is going to destroy Pakatan solidarity if he is not shown the door.

Let his wife study the videos closely and decide whether she still believes that Anwar is 'God's Gift' to Malaysia and whether his behaviour is befitting of an 'imam'.

Fairnessforall: Proarte, your comments only shows that you are just blindly condemning Anwar just because you have something against him. Learn to look at evidence and not just like a fool believe everything you see.

Any fool can see that this video footage is a fake. The two persons going in and out of the lift are wearing different clothes from the two in the sex video. Shahryl Eskay Abdullah is wearing dark clothes outside, while inside the room, it's light.

If you want to make fake videos, at least get it right.

Kyteh70: Why care about other people's sex life? Please look at more important issues like social justice, free and fair elections, judicial independence, press freedom, etc.

Clean&Clear: Why can't these Umno goons do something more constructive? So what if the guy in the video is actually Anwar, who cares? Is it a threat to national security?

Lim Chong Leong: Umno porn productions is not exactly like Steven Spielberg's. Little details like colour of clothes, beard and man breasts all have to be taken into account to make fiction look like reality.

They have to learn movie production, maybe from NameWee first before they learn to slander people.

Adelicia: If they can change history to the extent that Malaya was never colonised by the British despite being a member of the Commonwealth, what is so difficult to fake a video?

Penang journalists: Genuine reforms, please

Disgusted: Actually, Najib's announcement about publishing permits is nothing at all. It reads in the following manner - annual renewal of publishing permits for newspapers will be replaced with a one-off licence, which can be withdrawn.

The last four words says it all - nothing has changed. The mainstream media companies still belong to Umno-BN, and the opposition still does not have access to the mainstream media. Their news print is still subject to the Home Ministry/BN's approval.

Najib should have repealed the Printing Presses and Publications Act (PPPA) rather than just drop the annual renewal of licences for publications and newspapers.

The home minister still has the power to revoke the publishing licence at any time. It also means the Home Ministry can still call up newspaper editors and bully them into submission for publishing something the ministry finds objectionable.

The Sedition Act and Official Secrets Act both limit the freedom of media workers. To summarise, it all adds up to nothing at all.

Tired: As expected, some quarters are still unhappy. They demand this and that, and after these are met, they demand for more.

It's really frustrating, but I am comforted with the thought that in this world, there are always people who will never be happy with anything. In short, we can move the mountains and seas, but it will still be not enough for some.

Not Convinced: Tired, I wish that Najib is really moving mountains and seas. Only then will Malaysians be satisfied. - Malaysiakini
