PM9 or Sodomy 3: Anwar’s choice

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his loyal servant the IGP has Anwar over a barrel. PM9 or Sodomy 3? Yang mana satu nak? Pilih! This is almost like Hobson’s Choice — meaning you are not really being given a choice but a take-it-or-leave-it ultimatum.

THE CORRIDORS OF POWER

The IGP, Abdul Hamid Bador, is angry that “police resources are being wasted” investigating Anwar Ibrahim’s latest alleged “Sodomy 3” crime.

Come on, Hamid! What “wasting police resources”? It’s not like the police are busy investigating the illegal gambling dens all over Malaysia that have been operating for the last 30 years and sometimes within walking distance of the police station.

Or are the police busy searching for the supposedly RM1.1 billion worth of cash and valuables seized from Najib Tun Razak’s condo at the Pavilion Residences which have gone missing? It seems only about RM500 million of the RM1.1 billion still remains. So where is the RM600 million more?

Actually, Hamid is not being honest. He is fed up not because this is the third sodomy case involving Anwar but because it is the 13th case. Yes, there are 13 files that the police have opened and that is why Hamid is pissed. And this came from Hamid’s own mouth.

Anyway, this “fed up that the police resources are being wasted” is an early warning shot to prepare Malaysians for the possibility that, in the end, the case will be dropped due to “lack of evidence”.

Anwar is being given a choice. Continue to push to become PM9 and the Sodomy 3 investigation will proceed. Drop the push to become PM9 and the Sodomy 3 investigation will also be dropped.

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his loyal servant the IGP has Anwar over a barrel. PM9 or Sodomy 3? Yang mana satu nak? Pilih! This is almost like Hobson’s Choice — meaning you are not really being given a choice but a take-it-or-leave-it ultimatum.

Main lagi dengan Mahathir!
