Truely Asia

Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction.

At least what's happening in real life is not constrained by what already has happened.

Why did I say so?

Just look at the huge tussle for the post of Malaysia's next PM (and the access to billions to ringgits).

Najib "I don't know the Mongolian Model" Tun Razak

vs

Anwar aka the Comeback Kid aka Come-I-want-to-poke-your-backside Kid

Malaysian politicians are never known for the subtlety.

However this saga has taken them up to a whole new level.

Accusations followed by counter-accusations; statutory declaration rebutting the previous statutory declaration.

The whole Rashomon-esque chain of events make us all wondering what has exactly happened.

Who kill the Mongolian model?

How did the 61 years-old Anwar manage to sodomize the 23 year-old Saiful?

Is the Malaysian Police corrupt? (To many the answer seems pretty obvious though)

Scandal, murder, sodomy, homosexuality, obstruction of justice, imtimidation of witnesses.... All these make materials for a good Hollywood script.

Perhaps the Malaysian King can consider doing a Juan Carlos I by telling all of them:

¿Por qué no te callas? ("Why don't you [just] shut up?")

Malaysia Boleh indeed.
