A number of reporters have asked me if Anwar Ibrahim would be deemed a failure should the change of government failed to materialise on 16th September 2008. I advice them not to be too fixated with the date.
If we are too preoccupied with the 16th September, like the present BN federal government, we will lose sight on the true movement for change. This movement is not solely about Anwar's ambition to become the next prime minister of Malaysia.
This movement for change is about a crucial transition for the country which is at the crossroads. Existing forces will try to direct this nation back to the old tested road of communalism. This old tested path is one laid for the comfort of elite politicians who would continue to lead the country using the divide and rule method they know best.
Ahmad Ismail and his antics gave us the best, raw and unsophisticated example of such politics. For his own political expediency, Ahmad would beat his chest and claim to speak for his community. But would Ahmad sell off his Mercedes and share his NEP accumulated wealth with the less fortunates in his community? Will Ahmad swap his bangalow for a humble low cost house in his effort to try to understand how tough life can be at the bottom?
If the answer is NO, what can the Malay community expect out of a NEP elite like Ahmad Ismail? READ MORE HERE: http://khookaypeng.blogspot.com/2008/09/focus-on-movement-for-change.html
