......the lesser of the 2 evils ?

In the blue corner stands Anwar, a man who still vehemently claims of "trumped-up" charges by the former premier but subsequently charged and served 6 years of his life in jail for "sex against the order of nature" and in the red corner, Najib, a man who is presumed linked deeply but swears on the holy book of any such knowledge, to a case of an aide in the "blowing to smithereens" of a foreign national over purported "kick-backs" or commissions from government deals, a much publicised murder trial which is still on-going!

Yes, both have great designs and aspirations to be the prime minister of Malaysia ! And these two are currently ear-marked as the most powerful contenders for the premiership of this country ! Both are prime-minister's-in-waiting in their respective corners ! God......what have we Malaysians got ourselves into, huh ?? Can we bargain or arrange a trade-off ?.......of course not !

As long as these nagging "suspicions" linger on the minds of ordinary citizens, off these two, both swearing "innocent" and denying everything as hearsay and which is virtually impossible to prove too due to the highly "hypnotised" and mesmerised (akin to "idol worship") following, they command plus coupled with their high political profiles, what have we, the simpletons, got ?

Can we, the ordinary rakyat settle for the lesser of the 2 evils....if indeed they are and this stigma of guilt cannot be erased or brought to the open courts with solid evidence in a fair and just trial to implicate one or the other ? Do we put our entire future and faith of this nation in the hands of these two ?? Pheeew....I shudder to think of the out-come, any which way !

Of course, with your permission, we are likened as morons whichever side we choose to be herded in and although they are both still prime-minister's-in-waiting, there still is the questions of innocents in detention for demanding answers and truth on behalf of the ordinary joes and jills....read you and I, and the many "interfering" wannabe/has-been politicians waiting in the side-lines for the right time to pounce their two-cents claim in the fray !

What do YOU think or are you denied of an opinion, folks ??? Have a great Sunday ......... and cheers !
