Once again Malaysian blogosphere shall be bursting at its seams with the arrest of Anwar Ibrahim and by now, Raja Petra too. From news reports gathered so far, things are not looking very good for Anwar Ibrahim. The way the arrest was carried out does not indicate in anyway the impartiality of the PDRM. It is also obvious that they are people who deserve very little trust from the Malaysian public.
In a short span of 24 hours, they have twice reneged on their assurances. First, they gave Anwar a 2 p.m. deadline to surrender himself yesterday, but arrested him before then. Next, assurances were made that bail would be allowed; it was even reported as such in a foreign publication (Canadian, I think), but when I read the news this morning, I learned that he has been detained overnight!
As I understand, Raja Petra should be with the police right now and I suppose they would be arresting him today. Last week was the lull before the storm, this week the excitement begins. The plot thickens, but how the story develops is anyone’s guess. Out of this whole mess, there is only one thing we can be sure of, the losers; US (the Rakyat).
