Saya Zalim Anwar Video: Dr. Mahathir Admits Arresting Anwar Ibrahim Without Cause?


LATEST ANWAR UPDATES:

——————————–

Dr. M admitting before an audience that he had Anwar Ibrahim arrested all those years back without any basis???!! 

Is this for real? It looks genuine. Could it just be a lookalike, soundalike actor?

Or is it really Dr. M, just being dryly sarcastic? He does seem super selamba (very nonchalant) about admitting it… As if it were a non-issue that bears no consequences for him. The audience laughs at the mention of throwing Anwar into detention.

—————————————-

UPDATE 5 March 2008: Dr. M claims that the video clip is a distortion and taken out of context, though he does not explain what he means by that, or how the context nullifies the ‘Saya Zalim Anwar’ statement. Perhaps he was performing a stand-up routine?

From The Star 5 March 2008:

DrMClipDistortedStar

 

 

So I am now officially an Opposition website for blogging about it and providing links to the video. Lol! 

Don’t look for Dr. M to apologize for anything… As he says later on in the clip, he has never apologized to Badawi! And it’s standard practice for UMNO race insulters to never apologize.

So far only The Star has anything on this. Why isn’t Malaysiakini covering it? Free subscription for 7 days, by the way! Try it now!

Video of Mahathir Zalim Anwar at TV Ceramah, also at Youtube here or Youtube search, or short version embedded below:

Screen captures from video, showing the time where he makes his admissions. English translation in italics after each pic. 

Mahathir: I Was Unjust (Did Wrong) to Anwar

DrMAdmitsZalimAnwar1

Police become a tool of the government.

DrMAdmitsZalimAnwar2

I too abused power back in my time…

DrMAdmitsZalimAnwar3

See Dato’ Seri Anwar, what happened to him?

DrMAdmitsZalimAnwar4

I arrested (caught), I put him in detention (captivity).

DrMAdmitsZalimAnwar5

Everyone saw it right? I arrested (caught) Dato’ Seri Anwar… Put him in detention (captivity).

DrMAdmitsZalimAnwar6

Not because he did anything… Nothing, nothing at all…

DrMAdmitsZalimAnwar7

Not because there was any wrongdoing by Dato’ Seri Anwar. Not at all…

DrMAdmitsZalimAnwar8

Therefore, it was an unjust/wrong act.

He also has some words about Abdullah Badawi, Khairy and Malaysia’s 2008 General Elections – and says to cheers from the crowd that he has never apologized to Badawi.

DrMAdmitsZalimAnwar9

A pretty jolly crowd throughout the latter part of the speech, obviously in agreement with Dr. M.

    OH AWESOME.

    … AWESOME. Post, content, whatever.

    Out of context, my rear.

    Scott, gasp! j00 r opposeeshun, lolocaust!!!11one

    Srsly, that video is pure gold. I mean, what he’s saying… Freudian, I’m betting.

  2. wits0 Says:

    What Mahathir says now or said in his 22 years is actually a measure of Machiavellian spin. He was the indelible milestone for Bolehland’s expansion in vocal sophistry. As such, he’s no moral compass for anyone who has a mind and uses it.

  3. axl rose Says:

    apa sudah jadi dengan dr. mahathir nie.. perdana menteri malaysia ke-4, dan kini sebagai presiden kehormat PLF di putrajaya..

    dia mesti ada alasan yang boleh ditangkis dengan rileks… sipi-sipi ja…

  4. jedyoong Says:

    no-lah sarcastic lah.

    hey axl, long time no see. i use to be a guns n roses fan…

  5. jedyoong Says:

    actually still am a guns and roses fan…..

  6. Jbozz Says:

    That’s a wise move for Dr. Mahathir.

    If nothing happen after he step down, that fat resources we’ve had for 50 yrs will be misuse.

    He must pushed Anwar beyond the limit so that he can see the good and bad faces. Opposition & BN are the pillars of our nation.

    A successful nation, never in history happen. Many countries resort to violence, war, and ethnic cleansing.

    Malaysia is lucky.

  7. stuffed Says:

    some of my colleagues were watching this video in the office but i was less interested to know. i knew it could be some smart ass work of editing what Dr M said. I mean how relaxed could he be abt it and dont you think it would have caused much rage among ppl for the injustice that may have happened. why put more oil into fire?? why waste time in expanding differences when all we want is a united and peaceful country to live in. do you wish to see Malaysia end up like other war-torn countries? do u wish to live in fear? we should try to appreciate what we have and eventhough there may be certain things that needs to be sorted out lets ensure that it gets done and not waste time on things like this.

  8. Scott Thong Says:

    stuffed, I’ll give you one simple reason why we should care… One day, it might be YOU thrown into the lockup for 5 years without trial, and the politician who ordered you arrested never brought to account for it.

    It is only by fighting against all injustice that we can live without fear. Quoting May 13 1969 and ISA arrest is using fear as a weapon.

  9. kweky Says:

    whatever it is, both are big monkeys!!!!

  10. Rabika Says:

    Ingat Tun,kita hidup tak kemana.Berhentilah Tun dalam memberi hujah atau bercerita yang bukan-bukan.Jangan anggap diri kita ni perfect hanya Allah sahaja yang bersifat begitu.Jangan jadi title negarawan tu merudum. Zaman Tun dah lama berlalu.Tun ulangi perangai semasa zaman YAM Tunku Abdul Rahman tetapi sekarang Tun dah berumur. Sepatutnya Tun memberi nasihat dan tempat rujukan dan bukan bercerita yang mana akan membuka lagi kelemahan TUN.Jangan jadikan diri kita dikeji dan di hina

  11. jebatmustdie Says:

    Sir Scott, he was being sarcastic la. He was talking about how Pak Lah abusing his position and enriching his cronies, abuse of power etc. Then he said Pak Lah and his 4th floor boys were condemning him for abuse of power too. Then he said show him proof – and then he went on sarcastically abt him abusing anwar.

    The sentence was taken out of context. That was why the audience were laughing. If he was serious, if the speech was an admission of some sorts, the audience would have their mouths gaped opened!

    This is just some editing job done by people who has vested interests in smearing his name.

    Cheers!

    Salam utk semua
    dan salam sejahtera utk selainnya.

    Pertama sekali ingin saya nyatakan, saya ini hanya sebagai pemerhati saja dalam kemelut politik tanah air. Saya tidak menyokong sesiapa sahaja yang mengaibkan orang lain bahkan mengaibkan apa makhluk sekali pun termasuk khinzir atau anjing kurap. Kerana kalau kita mengaibkan/memburukkan makhluk2 ini bermakna kita juga mengaibkan/memburukkan PENCIPTANYA – ALLAH swt.

    Berbalik kpd kenyataan mantan Dr. M dengan selambanya menyatakan perkara berikut kemudian menafikan video itu dengan menyatakan ianya telah diputarbelitkan.

    1. “Polis jadi alat Kerajaan!”
    2. “Saya juga menyalahguna kuasa masa saya dulu!”
    3. “Datuk Seri Anwar saya tangkap …semua orang nampak …..saya taruk dalam tahanan …bukan ada sebab apa-apa pun …takdak sebab apa pun …bukan ada kesalahan apa pun yg dilakukan oleh Dato’ Seri Anwar. Takdak lansung…”

    Ulasan saya adalah mudah sahaja:
    …..Semua ini adalah kerja Allah. Yang menggerakkan lidah mantan Dr. M menyatakan 3 perkara diatas, kerja Allah juga. Kamu yang mengaku, kemudian apabila “nafsu” kamu sedar semula, kamu menidakkannya. Sebenarnya itulah “Kalimah-Kalimah Allah” yang sebenarnya datang dari mulut makhluk yang mudah untuk mengaibkan ciptaan-ciptaanNya.

    Saya sendiri sangat khuatir apa yg akan dihadapi oleh mantan Dr. M dimasa-masa mendatang ini serta saya sebagai pemerhati disuruh menyaksikan sendiri betapa Maha Agung, Maha Suci Allah bagaimana Dia memperlihatkan kekuasaanNya keatas makhluk angkuh yang bernama Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohammad.

    Saya sendiri berasa begitu insaf dan sedar akan kelemahan2 diri kita yang kita zalimi setiap saat akan di balas di akhirat nanti. Tetapi bagi makhluk ciptaanNya yg kita zalimi dimukabumi ini mungkin “diBicara dan diAdili” dan mungkin akan “diBalas” dimuka bumi ini juga. Maka kita semua sebenarnya telah di kejutkan untuk menyaksikan kebesaranNya bagi mereka yang “ingat” dan “tahu”.

    Saya berdoa dan berharap Tun Dr. M cepat2lah sedar dan kembali kepadaNYA semasa peluang, ruang, masa, kesihatan masih lagi diberiNYA.

    Wallahu a’lam.

    Kepada semua yang melatah melihat video ucapan Tun, cubalah cari rakaman video sepenuhnya. Kemudian barulah dapat kita nilaikan isi sebenar ucapan Tun. Jangan ambil sebahagian dan abaikan sebahagian darinya.

    Sama seperti kita membaca tafsiran ayat Al-Quran. Jika dibaca cuma sebahagian sahaja tanpa memperdulikan maksud keseluruhan ayat itu maka akan jadi lain tafsirannya. Fikir-fikirkanlah….

    Kepada Tun Dr. Mahathir, semoga sihat sejahtera sentiasa.

  15. Mustaffa bin Ibrahim Says:

    Politik itu bersih. Pelaku politik itu yang menjijikkannya.

  16. Anaktani Says:

    Tun Mahathir played politics very well. He ruled, abuse, resign, remose…hopefully fully repent and then finally rest in peace. Remember, he offered himself to resign from the PM post after he positioned his subsequent action to his benefit. All seem to fall in place…..but slowly but surely GOD audit and edit…so he lost his crooked bridge, pave way for Anwar to be freed, tried to crawl back to power…but unsuccessful. Now pushing his luck with his son. Will he restore power to Tun’s dynasty? Let’s leave it to GOD.

  25. adika Says:

    Inilah yg dinamakan soal politik.. persoalanny hanya Tun saja yang tahu kenapa harus dia bertindak sedemikian menjatuhkan anwar dgn cara yang tdk betul.. apakah niat sebenarny.. mgkin jg kita blh anggap sebagai satu konspirasi dan niat jahat kerana anwar tahu segalanya keburukan dan perkara2 yang bercanggah dengan prinsip Tun.. tapi malangya Tun harus berfikir.. smpai bilakah Tun terus menerus bermain dengan kancah plitik sedangkan umur dah berapa dah.. dah nak sampai garis penamat cukup2 la tu.. coz hidup kita di dunia ni hanya sementara dan wayang semata2 so.. jangan ikut orang buat silap dan lupakan semuanya.. Tun kan orang pandai
