Anwar Ibrahim was Malaysia's number two man after Mahathir when I was in Secondary 2 and he was a smart and educated man. He was well-loved by his foreign counterparts and Malaysians(some of them la) and seemed to be heading for the prime minister post at that time. Suddenly, a scandal involving his driver who supposedly had anal sex with Anwar where homosexuality was frowned upon in Malaysia took the country and region by storm and there were tons of papers dedicated to the Anwar Ibrahim scandal and my fellow Singaporeans and I were treated to daily footage of the Ibrahim scandal everyday on . He was removed from his job and thrown into jail.
In the following weeks, Dr Mahathir was critical of Anwar Ibrahim and felt that he doesn't deserve to be in the running for P.M and Anwar Ibrahim spotted a black eye as a result of a possible horrid time in prison when he was under arrest. Sympathy poured in for Anwar who seemed to be having a difficult time in prison and a fair trial was called for by international diplomats and organisations.
He was sentenced to a few years of jail time and during his prison time, his wife was actively involved in politics as I feel she wanted the Malaysian public to realise that her husband was a good man who was subject to unfair treatment and he was a victim of a government conspiracy ..
Hahaaaaa. That's right. Conspiracies. I love conspiracies.. The bigger the better but the irritating thing about conspiracy is that there is no fixed truth but multiple possiblities. It can be a bit irritating but it makes for some exciting dinner conversations. The marilyn monroe suicide will forever remain a mystery and there can be countless possiblities on the Jack the Ripper and JFk murder could have million of supects but we love conspiracies. I love conspiracies.No conspiracies makes the world very dull.
