In less than 7 days, the battles lines have been drawn.
Najib versus Anwar. Anwar versus Najib.
No holds barred. All the gloves are off.
When the dust settles, only one man will be left standing. And he will claim to be the successor to the premiership of Malaysia.
Pak Lah’s days are numbered. For him the question is ‘when?’. For Malaysians, the questions is ‘who?’.
Recent events have raised more questions than answers. The end is no clearer, the victor is far from apparent.
It’s all very confusing for us.
But let’s not get distracted.
This nation is not about Anwar. It’s not about Najib. It’s not about Pak Lah, or KJ or Ku Li or Mahathir or Samy Velu or Lim Kit Siang or whoever.
This nation is about us, Malaysians.
So let us not get distracted.
Politics shape the country, but the country is not all about politics. Let us not forget the real issues here.
It’s not Saiful or Bala or Altantuya or Barisan or Pakatan.
It’s about the prevalent corruption. It’s about the blatant abuse of human and constitutional rights. It’s about media freedom. It’s about a credible judiciary. It’s about lack of proper administration. It’s about inflation and stagnating economy. It’s about a flawed education system. It’s about racism and racial prejudice.
It’s about striving to create the new Malaysia.
Let elephants fight each other to death. Whoever the victor, we, the rakyat will demand from them what we have always demanded.
A better Malaysia.
My brothers and sisters, let’s not get distracted.
