Icerd, The Idiots And What Anwar Ibrahim Could Have Done

Some people are out making an issue of Icerd to turn the whole thing into a racial and religious one for their own benefit and threatening to go amok on it.

The plain truth is that it was not what the trouble makers called DAP Chinese, and certainly not the Bolehland Chinese, who were the ones who had suggested ratifying the UN convention on Icerd but Mahathir, the Pm himself, a Malay, who had said at the UN that the new Bolehland was looking to ratify several UN conventions, including Icerd.  Though Mahathir had also said that because of the Bolehland situation, it might be difficult to do so.

What Anwar, as the man to take over the premiership from Mahathir in one or two's years time, could have done, was to have said that the ratification on Icerd could be re-looked into but that he would not tolerate any party turning the whole thing into a racial and religious issue and threatening to go amok if the government failed to heed their demand to scuttle the plan to ratify Icerd.

Anwar cannot conveniently claim that 我们是一家人 (wo men shi yi jia ren) (We are all one family) to an audience and expect to be taken seriously when he goes soft on the trouble makers.

It is this lack of credible leadership on Anwars's part that netizens have doubts about him being the man the country needs to take over from Mahathir as the next Bolehland Pm.

The time is nigh, if Bolehland is to move forward, for everyone to recognise and acknowledge that he has to stand on his own own two feet and earn his own upkeep and not to have to rely on clutches because that is not sustainable for the country as our oil resources and reserves will run out.

The whole country has to put their shoulders together and work hard, irrespective of their race or religious affiliations.

After all, we are supposed to be 一家人！
