Hmm...I turned my head left and right when I read this article from the emedia news today. First of all, let me clarify my thoughts. I have no stand whatsoever on his sodomy allegations and his victory in the Permatang Pauh election. What I mean by I have no stand is that I am not making any judgement on him, whether he is right or wrong, whether he has done it or not. To me that is too impossible to know. O
Why I said that? Well, there is always two sides of the stories. And both sides stick to their stand. And both are blaming each other. As a human being who is trying to be rational, I leave this to God. We have no power to know who is right or wrong, who is saying the truth or who is lying. If we make the wrong judgement, we are the ones who will end up being the sinner, and as a human being who believes in the judgement day, I want to avoid that. And believing that God is fair, I am sure the real culprit will be given his share of punishment from God when the time comes. So, I do not want to 'stick to my points' and be at anybody's side, let alone be nasty and prejudice in my talks. Let the Almighty does His work. No point to be rude and throw our anger at this and that people and blame this and that party and eventually we are the ones who will paint a bad image of ourselves.

Anyway and however, having to say all that, I am quite perturbed to read this article below. Anwar wants his oath swearing ceremony to be telecast live. And this has never done by anyone before. He is not a minister, let alone prime minister, and it seems he wants a 'special' treatment for him. Why do I feel that this man is already making himself sound and look quite arrogant, that we should show him live? Hmm....I really don't know. This is really an absurd request from an opponent party leader. And to say that it's 'nasty' not to show him live? Hmmm...??? Read on...

Anwar: Swearing-in should have been 'live'29 Aug 2008
PERMATANG Pauh MP Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim thinks he is special. He griped about the fact that his swearing-in yesterday was not telecast live by RTM.
Anwar described as "nasty" the decision to not allow the live telecast of the oath-taking ceremony.
Information Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek immediately hit back
"The live broadcast is strictly for Question Time and we can't change our policy for just one person."
Shabery, who was involved in the country's first-ever live television debate with Anwar last month over fuel subsidy, added
"Traditionally, we've never telecast the oath-taking so there is no reason we should make an exception for him."

Hmm......I can't help but to ponder...Yes, why should they make an exception for him? He is not even in the cabinet...well...yet....hmm....??? Grrr....
