"The Godfather" Part 2

The hottest news in town now is Anwar’s alleged sodomy and Raja Petra’s Affidavit on the Altantuya. The question is are these two mutually exclusive?

Or are they part and parcel of moves by the Godfather?

Any far and critical thinking person must try to analyze the relationship between these two phenomena. Anwar’s sodomy may be planted .But by whom? Presumably by a very influential group X close to the power that be and the Altantuya affidavit may also planned by the same group. Final objective is to destroy or eliminate “politically” two very important targets we know who they are! If successful, the way forward is easy for any bidder of the no 1 position in UMNO and even No 2. But Anwar’s sodomy allegation has other dimension.

Many people may not realize or refuse to accept that, the Pakatan Rakyat influence is gaining momentum at the grassroots level day by day. Some people say the Reformasi movement is already unstoppable, undoubtedly aided by the freedom people have now under Pak Lah! The rakyat have seen within their first 100 days, in power they mean business. Whereas the BN especially UMNO is still groping to find out what went wrong, let alone taking corrective measures. The BN popularity which is already going downhill after March 8 election is further eroded by the fuel increase, although inevitable, yet very difficult for the majority of the people to accept. Like it or not it has tarnished further the BN and even more so under the present leadership

At the back of all this, we have the Royal Commission investigations underway. Of course we do not know how it is progressing. But we see that the AG’s office which plays a crucial role to oversee the investigations by the various agencies as directed by the AG himself, will also be entangled not only with the new sodomy case but also the 1998 case which Anwar is submitting a report on the IGP and the AG. The question is all these “happenings” planned? And by whom? What are the stakes involved. One thing which many people do not know is that PRIOR to such happenings, there was a very strong RUMOUR or grapevine story that one or two individuals had wanted to bring back to Malaysia CASH RM 5 billion from Indonesia. This requires Bank Negara’s approval for such money to be transmitted or brought back and the Governor according to some reliable source was purportedly not very happy with such an arrangement and this has angered the two individuals. Who are these two? They must be the ONES who had ABSCONDED or ROBBED money from this country and its people previously. How did the so much money go there and in what form? It all happened during those boom years when we still have BIG notes like 1.000 and 500 ringgit notes. All the money taken to Indonesia was in solid cash because that is the only safest way to bring money out of the country without going through the banking system.


Hey remember our friend "Mike Tyson" (pic) who did the same in Australia and got nabbed by the Australian customs for failing to declare. But he had a good reason. He could not understand English as written in the declaration forms!




"I speak the no English! Shut up you! Now I eat the ulam!!"



But coming to our 5 billion cash. Why are they bringing back the money now? Well with all the happenings going on, the common denominator is power and MONEY. Remember I said before, whoever has the money will call in the shots!! And money is most needed at this vital hour, NOW! to use it to BUY individuals. This is nothing unusual in Malaysian politics when “Money Politics” had long crept in into the system fathered by Tun Mahathir. This 5 billion story is not concocted but had been widely talked about amongst the elite circles, professionals and even a few bankers on the ground of anonymity which gives some credibility to its authenticity. Remember the country lost RM 360 billion through corruption over the last two decades as revealed in Parliament by the defacto Law Minister .Those that have squandered such money must be burying them somewhere overseas and the homecoming of the 5 billion is not a surprise at all. It is part of it all

We believe that certain groups close to Tun Mahathir fear very much should Anwar comes into power., because if he does as he declared publicly by coming September, then Tun Mahathir will be in a real soup. Although as I have said earlier, both Tun and Anwar are sharp shooters and have ample ammunitions to go after each other, there is a difference if Anwar is PRIME MINISTER. Mahathir will be a dead duck and his fate will be just like Suharto and Marcos – all at the pleasure of the newly anointed Prime Minister. In the meantime the Lingam Tape investigations which was an Anwar’s initiative, remember, are going on and who knows by September something might come out of the investigations and the 6 individuals may well be dragged to the Courts for trials!! All these can happen at the discretion of the Prime Minister. So the Tun is really worried over Anwar’s increasing popularity and he will try to do all possible within his means to STOP Anwar to become the next PM. He wanted very much to put Najib as PM because his safety is assured. At least he can count on Najib’s protection. But we know Najib does not play to Tun Mahathir’s tune and the Tun has been totally disappointed with Najib calling him a coward etc etc

What will be the OUTCOME of the police investigation on Anwar’s second sodomy? If this stupid 23 years old boy was planted by those that fear Anwar, then the chances are that there is no case of sodomy. Yes they can create the conditions for the existence of sodomy just like the mattress stains remember in Anwar’s earlier trial, the poor fellow running here and there with the mattress that was purportedly used during the act – and remember how embarrassing it was after being shown over the TV again and again and seen by the millions of people then. Imagine too the feelings of Anwar’s own family members! We don’t think Anwar will forget what the Tun did to him on this score. There are others who think that the sodomy episode was Anwar’s own concoction for the simple reason that he wants to distract attention since many feel that Anwar cannot and will not deliver what he had promised, that is to take over the Government by September. Well this is one plausible scenario. One thing is very clear here. Whichever side we are looking from, one can feel the sense of “DESPERATION” from each and every corner concerned that something decisive must be done and that time is fast running out .The TORNADO is coming, and the question is has the GODFATHER made any move yet? I will make another come back after seeing what goes on after Anwar left the Turkish Embassy.
