Anwar Trial: An insult to the people

Most Malaysians deeply disturbed by the ongoing trial of Anwar, which I, like most Malaysians feel is unnecessary, politically motivated and will lead to a national disaster.

For the first time there is a real possibility of a two-party system.
For the first time there are hopes for a change of government for the better. For the first time there are hopes for untangling of racial politics. For the first time there are hopes for more democratic and more accountable governance. For the first time there are hopes for a more productive economy for the nation. All these were made possible by one man - Anwar Ibrahim.

It is indeed sad that the forces of destruction are bent on eliminating these hopes of the people and the nation.

Of late Malaysians have shown great wisdom and maturity. Will these be sufficient to thwart the destructive efforts of the minority out to take the nation backwards to the era of divisive rule along racial line? Only time will tell.
