When Anwar Ibrahim former tennis partner S. Nalakaruppan exposed that the Permatang Pauh PKR by-election candidate took RM60 million, of Magnum Corporation money, its further dented his image as a liberal Islamic leader.
For more than four decades, Anwar has been projecting himself as a true-Islamic leader, which earned him international support. He has been rubbing shoulders with Islamic scholars both in the east and the west.
To avoid him being labeled a conservative and fundamentalist, he also made friends with US leaders which earned him a positive image in the east.
However, the Permatang Pauh by-election has extremely harmed this image. One by one of his former closed and trusted aides, revealed the real side of Anwar which has erased the “Anwar Ibrahim-myth”.
Nalakaruppan exposure is the most damaging. His revelation, which was made in a ceramah in Permatang Pasir on Friday night, has caused him to receive threats which forced him into hiding until today.
In Islam, gambling is as the same level of adultery and the consumption of liquor. For an Islamic leader to be involved in such an act would be a big blow as to be associated with using ill-gained money is not accepted.
This is because as in Islam because the ends do not justify the means.
Meanwhile another Anwar’s former aides Ezam Mohd Noor revealed that the US is supporting his fomer boss because they was an arrangement between the government and Anwar on Malaysia’s sovereignty such as the right to the Straits of Malacca.
In short Ezam accused Anwar of selling the country for his own personal gain – power and position. This is seriously erasing the Anwar Ibrahim’s myth. Besides the allegation of sodomy on his former coffee boy, Anwar is also fighting to upkeep his Islamic image.
Only the Permatang Pauh voters can decide on that whether to reveal the real image or continue to stick with the myth of Anwar Ibrahim. - 23/8/2008

Heh!
Speaking like a true United Malays National Organisation goon.
Let's just forget about DSAI or PR or BN, analyse and look at Malaysia as a whole. There are many one-sided policies, crime rate is high, economy is down etc....many agreements signed as if enslaving the Rakyat. What kind of gomen is this ? Majority of Malaysians are silent voters and not associate with any political parties like me, what we want are very simple - our basic needs be fulfilled eg. job with salary that allows satisfactory purchasing power, safe environment for us to move around, efficient integrated transport system, good education system etc. The outcome of PRU12 speaks for itself. Why this gomen can't to it ? The causes are grrreeed, power and position, the effects are Rakyat suffer and benefits not reach the grassroots. Where are the Rakyat money and resources have gone to ?
If there's a way, evidence can be found with top 100 world banks. Malaysia need a strong two parties system to force each side learn to sit straight. This is the only way forward for Malaysia.
you are right power corrupts and because of that we need to have check and balances, such as independent judicial system, independent executive branch, especially the police force that is unbias and also ACA that report to the sultans and not the government. all the more we need a two party system in this country. BN or PKR to me they are just the same. But for now, in order to have a two party system fully establish my vote will go to PKR. For now I think only an alternative party could save us from the lack of check and balance in or current highly control police force, aca, judicial and press.
