Same but valid question: Keadilan for rakyat or Anwar?
As reported, PKR Youth has launched a campaign themed Rakyat Hakimi Negara (People Judging the Country), a road show to highlight Anwar’s case and will culminate during his upcoming trial on October 28 and 29 at the Federal Court in Putrajaya.

I personally have no issue with political parties that are offering to bring justice to the rakyat as it is indeed something we Malaysians sorely need. But I draw the line perhaps when the focus is on personalities instead of the country and its people as a whole.
Especially, in this day and age when we are starved of justice as the people continue to have to depend on the dregs of the very riches of our own land as the powers that be gorged on what is supposed to be our shared sustenance.
And when one and all, Malaysians are faced with the inability to change our lives because of economic, educational and political repression and oppression.
Not only that, we are being pinioned by the powers that be with their abuse of the law, and indeed as some worry, the justice system, to name one institution widely thought to be under the sway of those loathe to give us justice.
While sundry justice is said to be appropriately dispensed, when it comes to the politically connected there are other words used to describe it.
And I agree that as things stand, Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has been given a raw deal by the powers that be and the second coming of the slander and persecution against him is well and nigh.
But I digress when the entire machinery of the political party formed to fight for justice for the rakyat, read PKR, is being used to highlight and defend only him.
Hence, I have to ask this question which has been posed countless times. Why, because it is as valid as when it was first raised in the early days of Parti Keadilan.
