Rocky does have a point: the only way to unconfuse people is to keep them informed.
Anwar may or he may not have buggered Saiful but the way things stand most people will believe the Malaysiakini story that the doctor examining Saiful has issued a report that Saiful had not been buggered, ever.
Why should people opt to believe Malaysiakini and the blogs that echo and amplify its report and tone instead of the Government or Police. Simple, the police has no street creds left after its former IGP took the law into his own hands to assault Anwar. The Government has no street creds in the first place because it failed to realize that someone had moved its belacan when Web 2.0 came into existence.
And when you have do not have any street creds then the truth does not matter to public perception. You’re as guilty as your adversaries who have more street creds or Google Juice say you are. The Malaysian Government and Police should deal with this new reality instead of trying to deal with an individual or two who are using the tools of the new media.
Deputy IGP Ismail Omar said the police may investigate “a website and a blog” over news articles on a medical report by a Myanmar doctor at Pusrawi Hospital. The articles, he said, undermine police investigations into the sodomy issue. The articles were also aimed at “confusing the people”, he said.
I hope the Deputy IGP does not waste any more of his officers’ time by opening up a another investigation every time there is “another effort to sabotage police investigations”.
The best thing to do is for him to call for a press conference and let us the people know about the progress the police have made in their investigations. If the Deputy IGP thinks the people should not be confused, then keep the people informed.
I also think the police should order Saiful’s head examined. If he had gone to Pusrawi claiming to have been buggered when in actual fact he had never been buggered, he must be plain daft or it’s all in his mind.
