Anwar Ibrahim is indeed the MAN OF THE HOUR

Anwar Ibrahim is indeed the MAN OF THE HOUR
The recent title stripping by our Ruler is drawing more support for Anwar Ibrahim the leader of the opposition pact.
The Ruler of the Selangor State may have his wisdom for doing so. Whether it was a rightly advised or a wrongfully advised action is not an issue and to debate it warrants disrespect to the crown of course and carries the risk of being hauled up.
But what needs to be taken into cognizance is the overflowing tweets, facebook sharing and opinions on the world wide web in support for Anwar Ibrahim in the wake of his ‘Datuk Seri’ title being stripped off him by the Sultan of Selangor.
Another fact is that the people who are pouring their support and empathy for the opposition icon are also making a sentiment statement of how all these conferment are being regarded.
Would Palace stand up to a national survey on what the public thinks of the move
It would be interesting feedback if any of the independent media can run a national survey of how the public perceive the royal conferment; what their expectations are; and why. The findings would be significant for both the giver and the recipient of such titles.
Perhaps what makes this title stripping issue of great public interest is in the timing. It preceding the yet to be given verdict and outcome of the recently concluded Sodomy appeal may have everything to do with the overwhelming support given to Anwar Ibrahim.
The other point here is the fact that Anwar Ibrahim still holds several other such conferment from the royalties of other States. The public are trading in the market square whether these too would be taken away from the recipient. The contentions and arguments are centered on the question of “If they do” and “If they don’t”.
Withdrawal of title linked to sodomy appeal verdict, Economic Adviser post?
What is most obvious is the fact that the extensive and manner of reporting of the title stripping in the main stream media has catapulted an overwhelming support for the ‘victim’ in the on-line media and at the marketplace.
Indeed we are into very mysterious, suspense filled and worrying times given the fact that Anwar Ibrahim – whether you love him or hate him, is definitely more than iconic in the nation’s struggles and efforts to transform.
He is a part of that defining history of a nation!
What makes him ‘larger than the picture’ is the fact or perception that it takes an entire Barisan Nasional machinery to fight just one, sole individual. Hence in the times ahead of us, we can better interpret and understand this Datuk Seri title stripping which is turning out to be a double edged sword that can cut both ways. - MAIL BAG
