916, 917, ...
The much hyped about 916 ended as an anti-climax. However, today, 917 has seen interesting development on the political front again. These past few days we have had a minister resigning, a minor party pulling out of BN, another blogger detained, a reshuffle at the cabinet level, Tun M to rejoin UMNO, etc.
With so many things happening all at once, it is certainly hard to predict the outcome. While many Malaysians believe that DSAI will have what it takes to throw out BN, it is naive to think that he will simply gets what he wants. The path to Putrajaya will not be easy and I'm sure BN will try to halt his journey every inch of the way.
And this is where my worry is. DSAI couldn't have picked a worst time to stake his claim to the PMship. With the current turmoil in the financial markets, the economy can only gets worse from here on. Rather than our leaders concentrating on managing the economy and lessen the impact on any global slowdown, they are spending their time trying to stay in power because of a credible threat to their rule.
While all these political news are very exciting and some of us are waiting with bated breath for a new era in Malaysian politics, I do wish once and for all, this power struggle can have an early conclusion so that the leaders can go back to governing.
It is quite tiring to keep hearing DSAI repeating that he has the numbers on one hand and the BN calling his bluff on the other. If DSAI does have the numbers, BN should be graceful in defeat and let him have a go at ruling this country. If he doesn't, he should just admit it and move on.
Well, I may sound a little idealistic but if there is a financial meltdown globally and we still have two sides battling it out on who should rule, the people who would suffer the most would be the ordinary man in the street.

I totally agree with you, Anwar has indeed been too hasty in his approach, maybe too long in detention, did not know much about Gus Dur and Megawati story.
He claim success & glory too quick, misread Mar 8 & PP as his own success story which was in fact the people's rejection of Umno.
Bluffing works in some occasion, but most of the time it backfires.
I really pity RPK for putting his freedom and hope on Anwar's 916.
If I dont read Anwar wrongly, he is the kind that will show hand before 916 if he has the card.
I have nothing against his personal life but I am not to fond of people who expect everyone to appreciate him and support his cause, he does have this thing in common with Mahathir.
Learning how to build up strength and knowing when to strike is crucial in politic.
Wouldnt it be wiser to unite PR, show PR capabilities to manage the 5 states, let BN weaken more with internal dispute and strike the fatal blow on the next GE.
Hopefully then the financial turmoil is over and economy more manageable.
Or is he desperately trying to save his own ass on the sodomy allegation and I wonder what is his next move on a possible 2nd ISA arrest on him.
If it happens, the effect on the our already strained economy will be devastating, the confidence of foreign investment will dip more severely and a major crackdown to silent the media, bloggers, NGOs and politician deem supportive to him will follow suit.
Oh! What a price to pay for!!!
