People will vote Pakatan in next General Election even if I am in jail - Anwar

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the opposition leader claims that the people of the country has gotten pretty much fed up of the Umno-dominated Federal Government and that they will vote BN out of the government in the next general election, with or without him. He said that whether or not he is in jail in the current trial where he is accused to have sodomized Mohd Saiful Bukhari, he added that the people are ready to replace the BN with the Pakatan Rakyat. Speaking in Penang at a Chinese New Year Open house, he added that “They should not have this wrong perception that the voters would back the ruling coalition if I were to be jailed.


Let me tell you all, that the people of Malaysia will rise to the occasion against Umno and BN in the next general election - whether I am in jail or not. Everywhere we've went, the people (we see) are ready to kick out Umno and BN. Due to massive corruption, Malaysia had now fallen on the wayside economically even within the Asean region. We are now lagging far behind Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and even Vietnam in both economic growth and competitive edge. We are only better than Burma and Zimbabwe,”

Questioning on Umno’s moral standings that questioned Lim Guan Eng, the Chief Minister of Penang, he added that “What Umno has done for Penang Malays since independence until it lost the last general election? All the good things done by Umno in Penang were carried out when I was an Umno minister. I am ready to face anyone on this. The current Umno leaders in Penang were only interested pocketing riches for themselves at the expense of public interest. Lim is doing a good job here. We are here today to show full support to his government. Penang is important for Pakatan and for me ... we must win it again in the next election,”

I agree with you Anwar as majority of the wise and conscious citizens of Malaysia are just waiting for the right moment to eliminate UMNO/BN.

The Rakyat are smart now, they will vote Pakatan in the next GE. BTW, DSAI there is no necessity for you to go to Jail fo something which you have not done.

no matter how the verdict goes, najib will lose


If you ask 1000 intelligent people they will say Anwar will not stand any chance in the bn kangaroo court. But if you ask 1000 stupid cows, they will ask Anwar to close shop, that is herd mentality ( one stupid black cow points that way, 999 stupid buffalows follow). Without Anwar, ther are still many smart leaders around, like Tok Guru, Zaid, Nizam, LKS, LGE and many others. Just picking one among the top 5 will be better than all the bn ministers put together

The people are matured now. They will vote for PR and not BN. UMNO has to use their racist strategy to get attention from the kampung areas! Suck on that, umno.
