When Anwar Ibrahim is tried for sodomy — with impunity, I might add — for the second time after the Federal Court overruled the previous sodomy conviction, we are all on trial. We are on trial as ‘innocent’ bystanders who were standing by as the Opposition Leader of the nation is being persecuted again for his stand against corruption and injustice.

I know it’s presumptious to imply that all of us are guilty for allowing this treachery to persist. Indeed, many of the 28 million are children who are just too young to know the difference between Anwar and Najib, much less the meaning of politics and power.

Nevertheless, for those of us who were around (read, “demonstrating on the streets”) when the first conspiracy against Anwar Ibrahim took place, it is incumbent upon us so-called reform activists (or Reformists) to return from our comfortable zones and fight the war for Justice and Freedom.

Some say the trial of Anwar Ibrahim is a trial of the judiciary or the media. I say those two are just institutions that reflect what is permitted by the Rakyat. Us.

Nothing that goes on in this country happens without our implied consent. We elected the rotten Umno-BN government to rule over us. We did not work hard enough to convince enough of our friends and relatives not to put an ‘X’ for the Dacing — the Scales of Injustice that belong to Barisan Nasional — during the 2008 general election.

Now, we have no time to waste. We must ACT NOW. The trial and persecution of Anwar Ibrahim is our cue to stop the conspiracies against the people of Malaysia. Conspiracy 1 and 2 against Anwar Ibrahim are merely obvious examples of the Umno conspiracies against the Rakyat.

Umno cannot stand the revelations of Anwar Ibrahim, the man who was around to see what they were up to. Unfortunately for Umno, Dr. M failed to break the man who endured six years of prison for truth, justice and the people. Now, Anwar Ibrahim is back to lead the charge against Umno and demolish them once and for all.

Actually, the beginning of the downfall of Umno-BN took place before 8 March 2008. It’s just now we’re witnessing more dirt and rubbish floating to the surface of Malaysian awareness. Do you want more jet engines stolen or political aides killed before you weigh in? Those are just symptoms of Umno’s further descent into the political abyss. Our opportunity is here and now.
