"to bring about Malaysia’s desperately needed reform, turn the tide on creeping Islamization, reinstall egalitarian multiculturalism, rid the nation of cronyism and kleptocracy, and end corruption. "

The above quote was always Washington's ( the National Endowment for Democracy- an extension of the Neo Con's) objectives for Malaysia and the developing world. And those who went along with them and swallowed its bait must suffer its consequences.

Clearly these Malaysia groupies of the Neo Cons, Chatham House and the NED are more than a brain short. They have no roots in Malaysia's independence struggles nor any idea of the concept of sovereignty or political independence.

Like Rose Chan whose legs were more often up in the air and apart to usher in her ideas of prosperity and stability, Bersih, C4, the Malaysian Bar and the illegitimate children of Chatham House and the NED rode roughshod over a democratically and freely elected government in Malaysia which gave them decades of prosperity, stability and a standard of living for its people many European states could only dream of.

When they could not displace the Barisan they sought the embrace and comfort of the neighbourhood bully (the US, Australia, France and the UK), just as an unfaithful wife turns to her pimp to protect her from her lawful and furious spouse.

If the US and Europe truly wanted to get rid of undemocratic governments in the region there were and remain many such examples in the region for them to have chosen from. Thee Philippines, Indonesia, Brunei, Singapore, Thailand and Myanmar to name a few. They did not they would not because their interests in these countries have nothing to do with freedoms or democracy. Instead their interests in the entire region is the very antithesis of the subject matter. Democracy

As for Anwar, he is fast becoming the dream turned nightmare for each of these groups that sought to overthrow and destroy in the most undemocratic of ways, the Malay dominated government of Mahathir and Najib.

Somewhere along the way, perhaps in the solitude of his solitary confinement in prison Anwar had his "Road to Damascus" experience.

What Anwar is doing now in government is not seeking the distraction of revenge but instead giving back to the Malay majority what is truly and legitimately theirs. Not Westminster doctrines of Protestant based constitutional democracy but a green Muslim idea of government and stability based on the principles of Islam. After all the west derived its ideas of commercial, matrimonial, criminal, international and trade laws from Islam during golden age of Islam. So much of the laws Malaysians enjoy is not alien to Muslims, except for the distortions infused into it by the west.

As for Bersih, C4, Marina Mahathir, The unenlightened Malaysian Bar and its membership, those false prophets of doom and gloom and advocates of an alien liberal western democracy (even the west is desperately seeking ways to shun and rid itself of) and their acolytes in the fringe media, the harvest of Anwar must be a bitter one.

There was in truth no substance to the borrowed rhetoric from civil societies and other regime change groups adopted by Bersih, C4, Marina Mahathir, The unenlightened Malaysian Bar. If there was any substance to that borrowed rhetoric they were fed and regurgitated to a gullible Malaysian middle class, these groups certainly did not understand any of it or its consequences to them.

Not every light in a tunnel is the light at the end of the tunnel. In this case it was the headlight of an express train which ran them over. Anwar Ibrahim. The chickens have truly come home to roost in the west and amongst Malaysia's middle classes.
