Anwar Ibrahim is a great critic. The way he phrases his criticism to the government, if heard properly, is direct & honest. He brings forward the “rakyat” problem, and I must say, he is the best to represent the rakyat because of his ability to speak. The things he says is somehow things that are close to people’s heart. But being a great critic doesn’t make him a great leader.

The last I heard Anwar Ibrahim spoke was about 10 years ago, during the Reformasi era at Masjid Jamek, Chow Kit & Sogo. I can’t compare what I’ve heard & watched today on TV is the same person 10 years ago.

But one thing I can say, there’s something missing from tonight’s debate. What is it?

Hmm… I know what…

FACTS

There was no facts that can help people understand why the problem, is a problem. The debate fails to give a reason for the “rakyat” to do something for themselves, to ease their own burden. The debate fails to paint a picture to make the people understand the underlying reason behind a question, “Why is it like that??”. It’s like watching the Parliment on the news, again.

It’s like watching my 2 nephews (sigh, i miss them…) arguing with each other on which Ultraman is the best-est Ultraman.

And from tonight’s debate, I didn’t see any intelligence in it. They did not bring any facts to support their convictions. I only saw politicians blowing off pollens.

It’s like watching both of them making fun of us on national TV!
