BEST OF LUCK SENATOR EZAM NOOR

by : Brigadier General (R) Dato Muhammad Arshad

You can say what you want Ezam Noor, but I say that you are unfit to be made a Senator. In fact, it is a mockery. Look back at what you have done for the country. Nothing outstanding, nothing gracious and nothing honorable. But what I do know of you is that you are the person in possession of 6 boxes (supposedly filled with documents) of alleged corruption of people in high places.

I also know you as a betrayer of friends. Till today you have not opened the boxes, but at every by-election, you will be the first person to say that the boxes are still with you. That is your strength; a hollow threat to others. Please keep those boxes Ezam, and have it ready to be brought to your grave.

You say that your appointment as a Senator has nothing to do with your return to UMNO's fold. You say you deserve to be made a Senator on grounds that you are a strong anti-corruption advocate through GERAK. Who are you to say all these things. I say to you that all that you have said are bags of rubbish, and I am not surprise that with your appointment as a Senator, you will be made a Yang Berhormat Menteri in double quick-time.

When you are made a Yang Berhormat, I hope you will not take the opportunity to bad-mouth your former close political associates in parliament, since you now have a huge umbrella (parliamentary immunity) to protect you. Parliamentary immunity is short-lived Ezam, and a time will come when the umbrella is taken away from you, and you will be left alone to fend for yourself. And when that time comes, all your friends will be your enemies. Don't you remember the saying that in politics that, 'there are no permanent friends, but rather permanent enemies'.

I wish you the best of luck Senator Ezam Noor, and I hope you will continue to be a strong anti-corruption advocate. You are known to have the oratorical skills of Anwar Ibrahim, and please make good use of such skills when you debate issues in Dewan Negara, and hopefully later in Parliament.
