Any silver lining yet?

By this week end our national political affairs is less foggy than the last weekend or nothing has really changed?

What do I mean by this?

I am saying, if few important issues that ought to be clarified or solved by the Prime Minister are done with, or at least seen to be solved in order to make some concerned citizens feel comfortable sitting and watching their favorite program over the weekend.

Excuse me, I shouldn't be too generalise on this because not everyone behaves like what I say, I myself don't watch TVs, assuming lah we all do!

Its about our Prime Minister.

You see, everything he says has bearing on the way the country is governed.

Political stability detects economic environment, it can either induce or chase out luck. Can we not see what has happened in Zimbabwe so far only Tun Dr Mahathir is inviting Robert Mugabe come to Malaysia (as a friend ) should the former chooses to go for exile.

To digress a bit, I honestly admire Mugabe in my younger days as student, with a few other friends, we thronged to LSE, Conference Hall, in London to listen to talk by anyone like him, including Mahathir's bashing mat salleh for his look east policy.

Over the last few weeks people have been watching Datuk Abdullah Badawi very closely even the movement his lips and eyes were scrutinized. But unfortunate none of our country's experts dare enough to say (behavioral experts) if Abdullah Badawi's body language indicates anything- If he is about to giving up his Priministership or if he is as stubborn as ever.

I say now, PM Datuk Abdullah Badawi isn't quiting!

Which also means Abdullah has to go on fighting against Mahathir. At the some time Mahathir's followers are going to accelerate their campaign, as Mohd Khir Toyo (former Menteri Besar of Selangor) puts it, Abdullah tak faham kiasan-metaphorical talk which Malays are very good at it, and Abdullah doesn't understand?

That would leave Abdullah in a very defensive mode. Directing ACA to investigate Mahathir wrong doings in past didn't seem to be working, no hard evidence, said Ghani Patail, Mahathir chosen man for the country's AG during his tenure of office to disguise Anwar Ibrahim, former DPM-bringing sleeping mattress to the court of justice, in the middle of the day under the hot sun for any sign of sodomy had taken place.

Perhaps as one international onlooker said, Abdullah should initiate an international investigation into Mahathir, and say let justice takes its course. I think may be like what the Lebanon's Government did on the killing of their former President.

The Government will not apologise to Tun Salleh Abbas, according the PM, I have the feeling this decision is not going to make life easier for them.

A call by Raja Muda of Perak Dr Nazrin Shah on judicial reform perhaps a kick start i.e, by recognising country's judical core mistake in the past- the sacking of Former Lord President,Tun Salleh Abbas, should serve to remind judges and lawyers to stick to what they knew about just and fair in law-not about getting job promotion and excessive materials gained-tokens given for being yes man
