Contrary to the wishes of divisive forces, Malaysians are not going to be dancing in the streets celebrating Anwar's going to jail or otherwise. Malaysians generally are not interested in punishing Anwar for his alleged decadent habits. He and his family have suffered enough without Malaysians gloating about the truth.
Malaysians are more interested in changes in the way this country is governed. They have been looking for a leader to galvanise and to rule over the changes. Anwar had said things which appealed to Malaysians. They have given him a break on March 8th, 2008. They have been watching over the last three years to see if they had made the right choice. Nothing is more dangerous to the country than to have a person who is a lying incompetent closeted deviant holding the reins of power.
Anwar's competency as a leader who will supposedly shun business-as-usual politics has been severely tested in his handling or non-handling of divisive issues in his coalition. There have been no concrete proposals for long term solutions. Granted it is not for public discourse, but the public can always sense out through his actions and inactions on issues; especially those he bore direct responsibility to resolve. His devil-may-care attitude about the alleged rigging of his party elections surely graded him in the low Cs. His sweeping under the carpet of the huge divergence between PAS and DAP ideologies smacks of a leader that procrastinates in order to hold the ship together until Putrajaya. He doesn't seem to care if by then the time-bomb will be a nuclear explosion.

When the courts found him guilty in Sodomy I, most Malaysians chose to follow their hearts and minds and opined that he was a victim of a conspiracy to the charges then. They responded by supporting him throughout his incarceration, and crowned him potential prime minister upon his release. The courts were rendered impotent in the mind of the masses.
Similarly if in Sodomy II he gets off on a technicality, Malaysians will forever wonder about the truth about their so-called righteous saviour. There is nothing that Anwar should be afraid of in submitting to a court-supervised DNA test. Even if the DNA of Male Y matches with his, doubts can still be raised whether the semen was planted in Saiful's rectum. With the fine defence team that he has, this should not be rocket-science. Anwar should not let his persecution complex override the dire needs for the truth among his believers.
Unless of course, Anwar may be afraid of the possible questions raised as to how something as sexually intimate as the fresh semen of a 63-year old potential prime minister can be so readily available in public domain.
Surely his demure wife is not a co-conspirator.
