Umno man: Crack down on Anwar campaign - Malaysiakini

 
An Umno leader has urged the police to take stern action against the 'Rakyat Hakim Negara' campaign in solidarity with opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim.

The campaign, organised by PKR Youth, is in relation to Anwar’s final appeal against his sodomy conviction at the Federal Court slated for Oct 28 and 29.
                                 
Cheras Umno division leader Syed Ali Alhabshee said Anwar is not a "special individual" who is immune to the law.

“PKR Youth’s campaign is akin to belittling the judiciary and appropriate action must be taken against this. For me, the legal system in this nation is fair.

“Nobody can question the integrity of the judiciary, and all quarters must adhere to the court’s ruling,” Syed Ali added in a blog post today.

He also claimed that the campaign is an attempt to exert pressure on the Federal Court judges ahead of their verdict.

Furthermore, he claimed, the campaign revealed that Anwar is bankrupt of ideas and is now using PKR Youth as his “puppet”.

The Umno leader advised the people not to be influenced by campaigns that call for street demonstrations.

“Anwar is willing to do anything to become prime minister. He is now using PKR Youth to influence the people not to respect the legal system.

“I hope that before the people can be influenced, the police will take pre-emptive measures to seize the flyers that slander the government,” he added.

According to Syed Ali, there must be an end to the politics of hate and culture of street protests perpetuated by Anwar and his allies,which have destroyed Malay unity.

He claimed that Anwar and Pakatan Rakyat parties cannot bear to see Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s resolve and earnestness to develop the nation.

“Najib’s determination and sincerity in wanting to champion the interests of all races worries Anwar.

“He (Anwar) is concerned that his Putrajaya ambition will be buried when the people support the prime minister’s transformation agenda,” Syed Ali added.

Despite the authorities claiming otherwise, Anwar has always maintained that the second sodomy charge, similar to the first, is a political conspiracy against him.
