Trojan Or Not, Anwar And PKR Is Going Down.

Hantu Laut

To help bring back democracy and free this nation of corruptions, cronyism and nepotism?

What a joke!

Who is going to believe him now?

The month-long balloting of PKR's direct election, if anything, is a farce and a sham.A de facto leader who claimed his party to be more transparent, democratic and less prone to corruptions is shattered by his own infliction.

Malaysians who believe his promises of democratic, clean and accountable government should look closely at the recent development in PKR.

What does it foretell when the party elections attracted only 10% of its members and a so called democratic process marred by intimidation, cheating and other irregularities.

The embarrassingly low turnout can only mean the party is on the slide for simple reason that the members are fed up with Anwar Ibrahim, his arrogance, self-aggrandizing, self-preserving and sardonic ways.

In spite of widespread claim of irregularities in the elections and his condonation to save himself and his sidekick from being challenged in the future, Anwar Ibrahim denied such unpleasantries.

Zaid Ibrahim whom he insinuated as a Trojan horse is the latest casualty of his greed to hang on to power. A reaction arising out of fear of losing the much coveted highest office.

Cheating is fine as long as he stays de facto leader and potential future PM.As they say the end justifies the means.

So, who own PKR?

The results of the elections conclusively makes the party Anwar's fiefdom.

The President, his wife remained uncontested, his daughter Nurul Izzah obtained the highest votes among all vice-presidents, his sidekick Azmin Ali won the deputy president post.

What happened to the other 90% of members? Have they been sidelined or not allowed to come out to vote because of uncertainty of where their allegiances are?

The election result also dampen the spirit of supporters in Sabah and Sarawak with some familiar faces ousted.

Former Sabah party chief Ansari Abdullah and current Sarawak chief Baru Bian lost to candidates from Anwar and Azmin's camp.

Jeffery Kitigan, sidelined by the KL leadership refused to contest in contemplation of leaving the party.Chistina Liew should do some hard soul searching whether she should stay in a party that show no appreciation for loyalty.

In the Peninsula among the big names that felled are Subang MP Sivarasa and Selangor exco Xavier Jayakumar.

Obviously, the miserable turnout was a boycott of the elections by majority of the members that bespeaks loss of confidence in Anwar and Azmin Ali's leadership.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange wanted by Interpol over rape case

The Guardian

An international arrest warrant is being issued for the WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, after Swedish prosecutors were today granted permission to detain him for questioning in a rape case.

The Stockholm district court approved the request after hearing investigators had been unable to question the 39-year-old Australian on suspicion of rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion. The allegations, which Assange has repeatedly denied, relate to two women he met while on a visit to Sweden in August.

Stockholm's director of public prosecution, Marianne Ny, said in a statement to the court: "So far, we have not been able to meet with him to accomplish the interrogation." Speaking after the court's decision she said an international arrest warrant would be issued through Interpol.

Counsel for the women, Claes Borgström, told Swedish newspapers that it was "clear that Julian Assange is in hiding."

Assange's whistle-blowing website was behind the biggest leak of US military documents in history.

His London-based lawyer, Mark Stephens, said he had "repeatedly offered to be interviewed, first in Sweden, and then in the UK", including at the Swedish embassy in London and at a police station in the UK, in person or by phone, and by video conferencing and email.

"All of these offers have been flatly refused by a prosecutor who is abusing her powers by insisting he returns to Sweden," Stephens said.

He added that Assange, who has made a number of appearances in London recently, left Sweden after the prosecution told his Swedish lawyer, Bjorn Hurtig "that he was free to leave the country without interview".

According to another source, the Swedish prosecutor had set a date for a formal interview with him, but Assange instead left for London, though did not commit any offence in doing so, where he appeared at a press conference when the Iraq war logs were published. He subsequently decided not to return to Sweden, telling friends he feared he would be arrested if he did so. Stephens denies this account.

Assange was accused of raping one woman and sexually assaulting another woman in separate encounters in Sweden in August. A warrant for his arrest was first issued in August, but dropped within 24 hours when prosecutors said the accusations against him lacked substance. The case was then reopened.

Though no details of the allegations have been released by prosecutors, police leaks said both women had met him in connection with a seminar he gave in Stockholm on 14 August. The women filed their complaints together six days later.

Describing the case as "not a prosecution, but a persecution", Stephens said the Swedish authorities had a "blatant and deliberate disregard" for Assange's rights, and that the allegations were "false and without basis".

He added: "Both women have declared they had consensual sexual relations with our client and that they continued to instigate friendly contact well after the alleged incidents. Only after the women became aware of each other's relationship with Mr Assange did they make their allegations against him.

Media reports had reported the basis for the rape charge "purely seems to constitute a post-facto dispute over consensual, but unprotected sex days after the event," he said.

"My client is now in the extraordinary position that, despite his innocence, and despite never having been charged and despite never receiving a single piece of paper about the allegations against him, one in 10 internet references to the word 'rape' also include his name."

The timing of this latest development raised questions among supporters of Wikileaks. Assange has in recent media interviews been promising further Wikileaks disclosures, particularly about Russia. WikiLeaks angered the Pentagon by releasing thousands of classified US war reports from Afghanistan and Iraq. Assange travelled to Sweden in August to seek international legal protection for his website under Swedish law after WikiLeaks published 90,000 leaked documents about US military activities in Afghanistan from 2004-2010.

The issuing of an international arrest warrant could trigger international efforts to extradite Assange to Sweden.

As one of the first countries to sign up to the European Arrest Warrant scheme in 2004 Sweden can initiate a fast-tracked extradition for Assange from any other EU member state.

The issuing of an international arrest warrant is set to prompt Interpol, the Paris-based international police intelligence-sharing association, to distribute the warrant in its 188 member countries, opening the way for Assange's arrest in countries outside Europe. If he is arrested, Sweden's national authorities would be notified and the country would then be expected to request his extradition to Sweden.

However extraditions from countries which do not fall within the EAW scheme or have their own bilateral agreements are notoriously slow, and do not always result in the arrest and surrender of the wanted person.

Zaid Ibrahim, It's Your Call

Hantu Laut

The recent spectacle in PKR that got Zaid into the political high winds could change the political landscape in the country if Zaid plays his cards right. As I have mentioned in my previous posts Zaid had no other choice but to start his own party and he must do it sooner rather than later.

Would Najib's government allow him to register a new party. For all intents and purposes it would be in the ruling party's favour to allow a third force. Zaid could well be the better messiah of reforms than Anwar Ibrahim.

Anwar and PKR have failed miserably to deliver its promises of democracy, accountability and fair play.It is as crooked as a dog's hind leg.Azmin Ali's win in Sabah is dubiously perplexing..

Support for Anwar is dwindling fast as the people get a clearer picture of his intentions.As people grew tired of his political charade, sympathy for him is fading fast and would fade even faster if a more credible third force appears.Zaid has to work fast while the momentum is still there.Strike the iron while it is still hot or it will fizzle out.

The recent party direct elections that was reported to be highly improper that put Zaid in a quandary, him demanding full investigation, fell on deaf ears, with Anwar Ibrahim responding in self-serving high horses rendition of no such thing and lamented that of Zaid's unfounded delusional fear.

Zaid came from the same tree as Anwar but a fruit less infested and much more edible and credible.He was never a minister or held any governmental position in the old regime and could not be accused of any serious misdeeds. He has through his ingenuity made himself fairly rich through his political connections during his time in UMNO.

His short stint as a minister under the Badawi's administration put him at loggerhead with other ministers and UMNO's bigwigs over indiscriminate use of the ISA which saw him resigning from his ministerial post and the exit from UMNO.

Zaid troubles started the day he was labelled as successor to Anwar who do not want a successor through the democratic process.He will pick his own successor when the time come.

PKR is a spanner in the works of Pakatan's dream of taking over power and a third force would certainly deny them the walk to Putrajaya.

Next to go, Jeffery Kitingan?
