Beijing Olympic

Merdeka is just around the corner, I am busy, but I was told I have let down my very limited number of fans , hence I have forced myself to write something.

Life is begining to mean something after almost one year of honeymoon in KL headquarters. I am begining to learn more on my near trade... hopefully will set my new career path.

Anwar won last night... most people I know were happy. They are happy for the change, but people have short memory, and Anwar knows it, people almost forgot about him when he was in prison for 6 years.

I still remember 10 years ago, thousands of people crowding outside his house at Damansara Heights, all eager to listen to their hero's nightly sermon on politics, while having the favourite "Burger Reformasi" and "Sirap Reformasi".

I was there that night with a friend, when the masked plain clothe commandos barged into Anwars house, armed with sub machine guns, the young ones were jeering, some even threathen to throw chairs at them.

Anwar was cool and calm, asking all to be patient and not emotional, he left with the commandos without putting up a fight. I thought he could have stalled the guys, get the crowd into a frenzy, wait for his lawyer, but he did none of that, and that was the last time I saw him in public for the next 6 years.

When Pak Lah took over at 2004, PKLR almost collapsed, winning only one seat in the parliment.

Now he is back! We will see what happens on 16 September 2008, only 2 weeks away, same time as the Beijing Olympic, 16 days come and gone. And I only recall the pretty smiling girls in cheongsam...

cheers
