Vern Lee has no problem if his Prime Minister was gay, bi, transgender or whatever.
In the past, we’ve had lawmakers accused of being murderers, rapists, spies, homosexuals, bomb experts, mob boss, cheats and god knows what else. And now, we can add porn star to the ever growing list.
The golden boy in question is of course, none other than our charismatic opposition leader — Anwar Ibrahim.
I’m quite confused by it all to be honest.
I have long made my peace and accepted that he’s gay but now I may have to rethink the whole thought process.
So, he was caught on camera with a sex worker — a female one at that.
What does this mean?
That he’s actually NOT gay?
That he’s bi?
If that’s true then it’s wonderful news for Malaysia!
I mean, if he was JUST gay, then should he one day become Prime Minister, he will not go down in history as the first gay head of state. Iceland’s Johanna Siguroardottir has already beaten him to that.
But now that we know he’s bi — well, that changes everything!
Imagine googling ‘first bisexual head of state’ 100 years from now. Every hit would point to Anwar Ibrahim — giving instant recognition to Malaysia.
Can you imagine Wikipedia’s entry on Malaysia? It may go something like this.
“Malaysia is a federal constitutional monarchy in Southeast Asia. It consists of thirteen states and three federal territories and has a total landmass of 329,847 square kilometres (127,350 sq mi). It is separated by the South China Sea into two regions, Peninsular Malaysia and Malaysian Borneo (also known as West and East Malaysia respectively). Malaysia is also one of the leading pro-human rights countries in the world — accepting and recognizing all forms of sexual orientation and gender identities from homosexuality to transgenderism. Malaysia is also the first country in the world to recognise a bisexual person as a head of state when Anwar Ibrahim was elected as the 7th Prime Minister of Malaysia.”
Jokes aside, I personally have no problem with my Prime Minister being gay, bi, transgender or whatever.
Hey, whatever blows your hair back.
I don’t see how your sexual orientation can in any way hinder your performance in office. As usual, everyone is quick to judge. A cabinet minister is caught on tape getting it on with a sex worker and suddenly everyone demands his resignation as if they are all saints.
Oh, come on!
Since when are we so conservative? If it is indeed true that the quality of our work is judged based on our morality, then no offices in this world would be manned.
I’ve worked in 2 or 3 private companies before and have witnessed enough office scandals to know that no one is a freaking saint.
So why don’t we all bite our tongue and judge someone’s work based on what they do in office and not on what happens off duty? In the most recent case, I am appalled not by the revelation that our opposition leader uses the service of a sex worker but by how the disclosure of the video is linked to high profile UMNO men.
How can someone’s private affair possibly be worse than the deliberate and public disclosure of someone’s private life? If I secretly video taped you getting it on with a bicycle (hey, whatever tickles your fancy) and then upload it to Youtube with the intention of defaming you, am I really innocent?
I can’t speak on behalf of everyone, but I know for a fact that I’ve done my share of nonsense. So I’m not going to pretend to be perfect and play the part of the moral police.
So yes Anwar.
I don’t care and don’t mind if you happen to like men.
Or if you happen to like both men and women.
Or if you happen to have a thing for animals.
Or inanimate objects even.
That is strictly between you and your wife (and whoever/whatever else). I can respect that. What I cannot accept are the real sins: corruption, cronyism, nepotism, slander, double standards and you know the rest.
What you do in your personal time is your business.
What you do in office and in your capacity as a party leader, de-facto or not, is a different story all together.
Lately, PKR has been doing a horrendous job, and your leadership shaky at best. I’d suggest you buck up fast. Otherwise, whatever inroads you’ve made so far will only turn to dust.
And for that performance, I will definitely judge you.
Contrary to the contents of this article, Vern is not a fan boy of Anwar Ibrahim or the party he supposedly heads. He however has a soft spot for politicians who display some form of intelligence like Ku Li and KJ (sometimes). Like every other KL-lite, his greatest wish is for traffic congestions in KL to magically disappear.
The head of state is Yang Di-Pertuan Agong, isn’t it?
Vern,
You are a moron. Clearly don't understand anything.
"I have long made my peace and accepted that he’s gay…"
Your peace? The gay community don't need your approval and can't be bothered with ignorant shits like you.
And how in the world did you even come to the fact that Anwar is gay? Did he tell you this? If he didn't then you, you should just shut the hell up. Who are you to go around making assumptions whether someone is gay or not?
Show some respect to the gay community you homophobic loser.
I have made my peace and accepted that you have a small penis and girls are probably laughing behind your back about it. You probably have premature ejaculation, and only come when your mother touches you. You are a loser! Get a life loser!
Anyone who supports this lusty Anwar is wasting his or her time. I am just as keen as any true Malaysians to have the present corrupted and promiscuous regime replaced. I am, just like millions of Malaysians, but with someone credible and can be trusted, Although it is hard to find someone like that but it is better late than to have people like Anwar and LKS leading us. So start looking for someone like that !
I'm sure Anwar once waved some keris or other, citing unwavering commitment to continue promoting Ketuanan Melayu. I'm sure he financially benefitted from his position as Finance Minister. I'm sure he's no angel. I'm sure he's as conniving as they come but I respect that he is trying to be relevant in his campaign. I also respect that he's intelligent and that he's got these few individuals who are capable working with him…LGE, Khalid Samad, Sivarasa, etc. And whether gay, straight or bi, he deserves to have a go at running the country. How much lower can we go anyway with what we've been treated to by the ruling party?
Whether you have or don't have a problem with Anwar's like or dislike will never be a problem to you or anyone else. This is because he will never ever become the P.M. of Malaysia, never ever.
It is the problem of his wife, can you not see how stressful she was whenever she has to appear in front of the camera with this lusty old man each time when he got indicted or implicated in the issue? She may not have said anything or expressed anything undesirable or unfavorable about the whole issue but one thing for sure they have a M.P. daughter and her future to worry about and her political future to worry about but not Anwar. But not Anwar, he is only interested in what his lust desires.
This is a proof of what he is, a human being or shall I say a lusty one at that and of course now even his lawyer is trying to get him out of Anwars's indictment is to argue in court that his encounter with his 'coffee boy' was consensus without admitting the charge he did it openly. What a grand father of all liars ! And above all don't ever forget that Anwar was Umno trained and just like all Umno politicians the only one good thing they all are good at was and still is to call on the Chinese to return to China. So did Anwar, and why is he not doing it anymore since he became the opposition leader ?
He was waiting to be invited back to Umno since he came out of prison and that is why he took quite a while to become the opposition leader. Since then what has he done for the Chinese ?
It was not because he truly believes in what he is doing now plus the fact that he saw the need to get the support of the Chinese to stay and to survive in politics. Only mad dog LKS would believe him and team up with him to fool the Chinese for one thing, also just to remain in politics. Otherwise this mad dog LKS too would be out of politics and parliament too. And his son would not have become the C.M. of Penang needless to say he needed to find another place to continue telling his lies and empty promises after telling so many of them in Malacca. Otherwise he would not have gone to Perak to seek his term in parliament and I might add the pay to go with it and most of all be jobless !
How about the UMNO president, he does not hide his preference when jump into bed with his fair lady…he does it both ways!!…. a sex maniac PM!
Anyone, likes to throw a stone at the glass house?
Anwar being gay or bisexual is not the problem. Fine, we've established that (he's a bi), long before the sex-video.
The problem is the way the portrays himself, supposedly being all innocent, clean, straight and a pious man. This image works for those religious and (ground level) PAS-type supporters. They truly believe that Anwar is this other person. In other word, Anwar is guilty for using this false image and being hypocrite to get the support he is (undeservedly) receiving.
In any case, regardless of his sexual orientation, i personally feel that Anwar lacks the intelligence and administrative capability to run the country. All talk, hot air.
