January 22, 2012
I met Gwo-Burne Loh as well as his father Loh Mui Fah a little time in Dec 2007 when we was with PKR, during a time when a hold up of a VK.Lingam "Correct, Correct, Correct" video clip was about to be disclosed by Anwar Ibrahim.
The susceptible immature male who had returned from China after spending a few years in Beijing was introduced to me by his father who later became my tighten friend. When Gwo-Burne was nominated to contest a Kelana Jaya Parlimentary chair against MCA's Dato' Lee Hwa Beng, my friends as well as we campaigned tough for him.
No a single during a time gave a immature as well as inexperienced Gwo-Burne a chance. He was usually well known as a dutiful son as well as cameraman who taped a VK Lingam review with a shortly to be allocated Lord President/Chief Justice, (Tun) Ahmad Fairuz. But upon March 8, 2008, he became a Pakatan Rakyat David who defeated a Barisan Nasional Goliath, as well as sent Dato' Lee in to domestic oblivion.
After a little initial hiccups, Gwo-Burne incited out to be a really conscientious Member of Parliament for his constituency, as well as having left by a rough as well as tumble of parliamentary politics, he has matured as well as right away during 37+ years of age, he is ready for a bright domestic future. He is cool, smart as well as tough working as well as ready for larger responsibilities.
This essay reflects his loyal feelings about his domestic mentor, Anwar Ibrahim, not about a Sodomy 2 trial. we thought we should share it with you, my blogger friends as well as associates. The essay by Gwo-Burne confirms why Anwar Ibrahim is a hit w! ith geek s, a not so young, as well as liberal geezers. Din Merican
The Remarkable Anwar Ibrahim*
by Gwo-Burne Loh, Kelana Jaya MP
This is not an essay about Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim's sodomy trial. But in box any one is meddlesome to listen to my two-cents value upon a trial, we have dual questions. How most people do we know who have essentially been charged with sodomy? And do we consider if Dato Seri Anwar will be charged if he were not an antithesis leader? My answers have been NO.
Furthermore, for those profitable courtesy during a VK Lingam video, would have heard Anwar's box being mentioned. What does it mean? It equates to a BN government would go to good length to discern which Anwar will be put during a back of bar until his domestic conduit expires, if not for his complete life.
On which fatal day Lingam suggested to my father as well as myself which Mahathir as well as his domestic cronies had planned an UMNP led coalition be cemented in energy as prolonged as time could be projected, as well as in a name of Malaysian wealth as well as peace, Anwar must be destroyed.
In this swindling all sectors of government including a Civil Service, Judiciary, as well as Police will be under their direct or surreptitious carry out as well as influence! The strech of this swindling even extends a strech in to a in isolation sector. The monetary complement in a republic be manned by trusted cronies, PETRONAS as well as a agents rhythmical by friends as well as family, a in isolation energy suppliers, utilities, media, trade companies, altered little was spared. One male stood to threaten a conspiracy, so he must be destroyed.
And what will occur upon January 9? we consider all a cards have been with a conspirators! . If new trends have been any indication, then we consider Anwar will be found not guilty, to buy a little good will. Instead moving a grounds of execution will be altered to a Court of Appeal (probably after a elections). But all a cards have been with a conspirators, we can though wait.
With which out of a way, we wish to talk about my observations about a single of a most conspicuous chairman i have had a pleasure to confront as well as outlay time with. He is my boss, though we will try to be objective. So let's have it clear which Anwar is by no equates to perfect, usually UMNO Barisan Nasional is undiluted as well as does no wrong, so Anwar from time to time makes mistakes. The important thing is which he admits it.
The Inspirational
The initial time we met Anwar Ibrahim was about 4 years ago together with my father. we was never 
an Anwar fan, additionally we am a skeptic by inlet creation me someone utterly difficult to convince. we have mislaid all idea for Malaysia, as well as similar to most Malaysians have motionless to move abroad. we was in a really good place in my life.
Anwar struck me with his regard as well as modesty. He spoke during length upon his beliefs as well as his domestic vision for Malaysia. He spoke about his views per race family as well as general family of Malaysia. He spoke during length about his mistakes as well as what he learnt during his ordeals. When we left a assembly we left with a shift of heart. we left a assembly loving Malaysia more.
For a initial time in my hold up we felt idea for Malaysia. we realised which there is something value fighting for. Suddenly we proposed to see everyone as Malaysians instead of usually Malay, Indian, Chinese, Dayak, etc. we was desirous t! o see id ea for a republic as well as a people..
Anwar inspires. Anwar desirous with his sincerity as well as conviction. Anwar desirous with his vision. And without delay as well as in a roundabout approach millions were inspired. Just 5 years ago, who believed which a republic was standing upon a verge of change? Who would believe which a mighty UMNO would need to start listening to a rakyat?
Of march Anwar was not a usually source of inspiration. But during a time where a little shake during a steer of a moon upon a immature flag, as well as others who hurl insults during a steer of a rocket. He some-more than any one else was a glue to connect us all together. He some-more than any one else led us to any other, as well as currently together we mount during a brink of a system of administration shift in Malaysia. Without Anwar, how most would have believed we would have even got this far?
The Resilient
The conspicuous thing about a survey which purebred 51% favourite a Prime Minister, whilst 39% likes Anwar. A crony commented which PR should be disturbed since Najib assumingly was some-more popular than Anwar. But we offering a topsy-turvy end which it is BN who should be concerned. Why? Simple.
For 4 years we have all a kings' horses as well as men, all a newspapers, radio, cyber troopers attack a single man. You went so distant as to puncture out a aged fool around book as well as charge him with sodomy. You even have a crony get his own brother to impersonate this male in a porno production. All these while, all a mainstream media treats everyday as "denitrify a Prime Minster day". Even going as distant as to emanate official national sermons for Friday prayers telling all good Muslims to suggest amount faithfulness as well as obedience to a good Prime Minister as well as his friends. After 4 years of this as well as we find we have been usually 10% ahead, wouldn't we be worried?
In alternative words we need to conclude a single thing. ! Anwar is extremely resilient. Anyone else subjected to this power of abuse would have thrown in a towel prolonged ago, any one else would have depressed ages ago. Yet, Anwar still stands high as well as strong.
In actuality by a waves of onslaughts unfailing during Anwar, we have never seen him visibly affected. Except during Zahrain Hashim's fallout. For a initial time we could see Anwar visibly sad, some-more from a loss of an aged crony we sensed.
Despite a harsh assaults, which would have crippled complete armies, Anwar still stands high as well as strong, "this is since of a tough work as well as support from all of you" he would say. But in truth is we have been a ones which should be thankful.
Not usually since he continues to give us idea as well as inspiration, he additionally provides us shelter as well as protection. Imagine if there is no Anwar to draw a waves as well as waves of onslaught by a powers which be. Imagine if all a PR leaders as well as YBs have been subjected to what Anwar has to face each day, how most some-more of us would have fallen? How most some-more would have thrown in a towel? He stood there as well as drew a infancy of heat upon himself, so a rest of us can collectively work towards a idea of a improved nation.
The Remarkable
Sometimes a republic produces a chairman who is unfailing to shine not usually inside of their nation, though upon a general theatre as well. Here is someone who will have a republic shine which much some-more brightly (Some competence try, a little competence imitate, though we can't pretend to be Princess Diana). We in Malaysia have been fortunate to have constructed as well as nurtured such a conspicuous person.
But it is additionally hapless which we select to allow him to b! e shackl ed as well as weighed down. Or should we say which it is hapless which so most of us decide to mount by as well as allow him to be shackled. But in few instances Anwar remains organisation about his love of Malaysia as well as a people, remains determined to outlay his hold up as well as blood in office building a republic in to a good republic we know we can become. He believes we can, we believe we need to.
Today a republic remains rooted as well as unable to break free from being decidedly mediocre, though a truth is we have been common by preference rather than due to any disability. To a large border this is where a Government has motionless is a most appropriate place to be.
And for 55 years there have been zero a people could have finished about it. In a approach we chose where we wanted to be. When a BN government was bulldozing a so called "peaceful" assembly check by Parliament, in annoy of a drawn out objections from a people, a BN YB said which a Barisan Nasional is passing this check with a mandate of a people as well as if we do not similar to it then take over a government in a next elections if we can. The Remarkable Mr. Anwar Ibrahim says we can, do we listen to him?
*Please note which this essay was written before a Sodomy 2 outcome was voiced upon January 9, 2012. Gwo-Burne's views upon Anwar Ibrahim have not changed.
