There are more important issues to attend do than who masterminded the incident.
I think certain quarters, including Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim should get their priorities right.
People like me are only interested in seeing our economy get better and ensuring a sound future for our children.
I find it pretty ridiculous why Anwar and other politicians alike are still harping on the gay sex video and ever keen to know who masterminded the whole thing.
Personally, I don’t care and I doubt many other Malaysians do also.
Why the obsession with knowing the identity of those featured in the gay sex video, of which former PKR Santubong Youth chief Haziq Aziz had admitted to being part of?
How does knowing the mastermind who circulated the videos help advance the cause of the people who face real-life problems like the rising costs of living?
There is absolutely no need to dwell in what goes on in the private confines of a bedroom when there are far more pressing issues which the country is facing.
And there is definitely no need to lend credence to gutter politics by throwing your weight around the authorities over this issue, especially coming from someone seen as the incoming Prime Minister.
Anwar’s statement is all the more disappointing considering he himself had claimed to be a victim of gutter politics in the past two decades, not once but twice, with both occasions ending up being incarcerated.
One would have thought that Anwar would show more empathy towards the victim of gutter politics, especially when that person is his No 2 in PKR and the two had gone back a long way.
If we – Anwar included – do not halt the advances made by those who resort to gutter politics, Anwar himself will become a victim of this evil deed all over again.
Taking a strong stance against gutter politics is one thing. Walking the talk is another. The least Anwar could have done was to disempower gutter politics by not giving undue attention to this menace.
