PREAMBLE: Views expressed herein are entirely mine. I am writing in my personal capacity as a blogger. It has nothing to do with whatever position I may hold.
From Four Points, Sandakan: If only we enjoyed the beautiful sunsetALL indications point to the Sandakan homosexual video having assumed a life of its own.
It has been immortalised in scores of YouTube uploads and has spilt into the larger political arena with Datuk Seri Mohd Azmin Ali supporting the call for Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to stay as Prime Minister for the full term and Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim assuring that the Pakatan Harapan remains strong.
Azmin enthusiastically endorsed the call by Pas leader, Datuk Sri Abdul Hadi Awang, for the Prime Minister to stay on instead of handing over power to Anwar midterm as promised.
Neither Abdul Hadi nor Azmin is a great fan of Anwar. For the Umno-Pas combine, breaking up the Pakatan Harapan is a key objective.
The scandalous video is now a living breathing creature of the netherworld of conspiratorial politics.
It will haunt its players irrespective of whether they are the confessors, the deniers or the plotters, probably for the rest of their lives.
For the rest of us, we have several choices. Number one is to be part of the unholy. Number two is to ignore them if we are not bothered by their eerie cries. Number three is to exorcise ourselves of their haunting.
I choose the latter – exorcising myself.
Let us concern ourselves with the more pressing issues and affairs of the country – the hardship of Felda settlers, the fishermen, the padi farmers, the rubber tappers and the Felcra smallholders.
Let us address the concerns of the business people like the petroleum industry players who are waiting for the resolution of the petroleum royalty demand by Sabah and Sarawak.
Let us give a boost to the new shared prosperity economic agenda, the Visit Malaysia Year 2020 campaign and the resolution of government debt.
Dr Mahathir had said repeatedly that cabinet reshuffle is not on the card and he would keep his promise of transferring power to Anwar.
But this is not an excuse for ministers to feel assured and continue with their moribund ways.
Maybe this is the Prime Minister’s way of saying, you chaps better shape up or get shipped out when l am no longer around to defend you.
So any minister who feels the uncontrollable urge to act in a movie or video clip please make sure that it is G-rated.
Thank you.
