Fools Rush in and So here we are?

The expression fools rush in where angels fear to tread was first used by Alexander Pope. (Remember in the film Da Vinci Code, the actor Tom Hanks mentioned the name A. Pope who was entombed….). I hope the expression does not become- fools rush in and so here I am.

To me- it has become just that. Fools rush in and so here we are. We are here to celebrate the u turn done by Saiful Bukhari’s father. The father suddenly appeared to make a press conference offering his apologies to Anwar and stating that the whole sodomized issue was a conspiracy by UMNO to frame Anwar.

My question is why didn’t the alleged victim say those things himself? It was his arse that was abused not the father’s. The one buggered was Saiful, not the father who was making a press conference yesterday. So the statements by the father are just mere hearsay.

Why should Anwar lend credence to the staged drama? Isn’t his position has been, is and will always be that judgement of his character is not dependent on what others perceive him as? Does it matter what Saiful’s father  think of Anwar now. Anwar is what he is, independent  of what Saiful the father and others think him as.

Anwar’s innocence or otherwise must be proven in court and not in the drama staged by Saiful’s father.

What if, immediately, the alleged victim come out and say , his father has been used? That really, the reason for the sudden atonement of Saiful’s father was prompted by some internal family discontent? Maybe the father didn’t get a fair share of what Saiful got? Or maybe the whole thing was staged to make Anwar and PKR people drop their guards and maybe their pants?

Beware of the Greeks who come bearing gifts.
