An appeal to Anwar Ibrahim

Dear Mr. Anwar,

Before I commence, allow me to make a declaration (not a statutory declaration), but rather a declaration of my own in my capacity as a concerned Malaysian who truly yearn for peace, equity and harmonious society.

• I hereby solemnly and truthfully declare that this appeal is done for the sole purpose of wanting to seek your cooperation in creating an environment whereby all of us loving Malaysian can live a life in a peaceful, equitable, prosperous and harmonious Malaysia.
• I further declare that this declaration is made on my own freewill, in my sound state of mind, without being pressurized or influenced or put under duress by any party.
• I also declare that this declaration is made not that I despise them less, but because I love you more. I can’t bear to see your eyes turning blue black, bruises on your body, your pride battered, your mind tortured and your family depressed and your sanity questioned.

My appeal to you is pretty simple: Drop your political agenda and start a new life as an ordinary Malaysian. Things do not look good for you. And I foresee things would not change in the near or far future for you. Allow me enlighten you a little.

I still don’t understand the cause you are fighting for.
I still don’t know your agenda.
But I know one thing: You don’t know who are you dealing with? Even if you do, you couldn’t careless but bulldozed your way through.

What for? Is it just to satisfy your ego and pride?

Does ego matters very much to you? Does it make you less human with a tainted ego? I am aware that as the Deputy PM, you once were the second most powerful man in Malaysia. I am also aware that as the Finance Minister, the country’s coffers were once under your control. Does it hurt your ego if you accept the fact that you are not there anymore? Does it hurt your ego when you no longer hold power like you did before? Does it hurt your ego to accept the fact that you’re not destined to be the country’s PM in the past, now and in future?

Does pride matters to you as much as ego does to you? Does it make you less human with a battered pride? Your pride was battered when you were removed as the Deputy PM. Your pride was battered when you were no longer in control of the country’s finance. Back to the question: Does pride matters very much to you?

Forget about your ego and pride. They are important but you don’t have to risk your life in defending them. Life is more important than ego and pride combined. Sacrifice your ego and pride for a peaceful life. Live a life as an ordinary man in the street. I believe you would have made enough while in power to last your lifetime or probably a few generations. As an ordinary citizen, you can do a lot of things the Prime Minister can’t. PM doesn’t drink “teh tarik” at the mamak stall. PM doesn’t watch movie in the cineplex. PM doesn’t eat “rojak” or “cendol” by the roadside. PM doesn’t shop in Mid-Valley. PM doesn’t walk around in the park. Yes, you’re right. PM leads a high life. PM dines in fine restaurants. PM watches movie in his private theatre. PM eats caviar, not rojak. PM shops in London, Paris or Milan. But you were there before. You experienced them before. You already had your time. Now is Pak Lah and Najib’s turn.

Why are you turning it into your personal vendatta? You’re angry with the government but you’re putting many people’s lives at risk. Who are you against? Don’t you know who are you up against? You are not against Pak Lah alone. You are not against Najib alone. You are up against Pak Lah, Najib, the Cabinet and the Dewan Rakyat and the entire government machinery. Who or what you are in control? Only your supporters, who will quiet down once a couple of the outspoken ones are “silenced”. Your supporters will desert you once they see nothing is in store for them any longer.

Is there any way you can win? No way. You are up against the Boss – the person-in-charge, as simple as that. There is no way one can win against the boss and his honchos.

They control the police. The police can plant evident against you. The police can fabricate evident against you. The police can plant witnesses against you.

They control the prosecution. The prosecution can slap whatever charges against you. They can make all sorts of allegations against you.

They control the courts. Do you think they will accord you fair trial?

They control the hospitals. Whatever medical tests done on you will be as instructed; and will be in their favour.

They control the armed forces. They control the entire government machinery. They can detain you. They can put you on trials. They can put you behind bars.

Then at Sungei Buloh, Kamunting or anywhere? Don’t you think the wardens are under their control as well?

You haven’t forgotten you were there before, have you? You should know as you were there once. You used to be in their shoes. You used to do what they are doing now. There is no way for you.

It hurt me real bad, if a leader of your stature, has his eyes turned blue black, his 61-year old body badly bruised, his pride further battered, his mind tortured, and his family deeply depressed. They may declare you insane or even make you one.

So my appeal to you is to stop your political agenda. Things really do not look good for you. The odds are heavily-stacked against you. They are going all out to nab you. Never mind if you are right and they are wrong. Forgive them. And pray that they will be forgiven too. Find solace in Allah. Be more submissive to Him. He knows best. Truth will prevail eventually.

Hence this appeal is not because I despise them less but because I love you more.
