Are we a creature of fear or fear has brought out the creatures among us.  Soon after the news flare over the Internet on the arrest of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim at lunch time, it becomes the talk of the office.  By 4 something, the office starts to become quiet, and my boss jokingly said, “you all dont want to go home early ar? Anwar is caught by the police already, and maybe got trouble in the streets”.  Well, that sounds like a good justification to go home early.  None of us took up my boss offer, but noticeably, the office was indeed quieter, and leaving the Free Trade Zone area, the usual traffic crowd seams to have reduced significantly.  Are there any relation to Anwar being caught by the police? One could only speculate.

According to Malaysiakini, the arrest was done in front of Anwar’s home and by a convoy of 15 cars and mask men.  Mask Men? Wow, Swat team? The intriguing part is this, the police says that they have followed procedures and have put the safety of their men first.  So, what has 15 cars and mask men got to do with safety? Then it daunted to me.  Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was allegedly have committed sodomy with Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, a dashing young man.  So, 15 cars are to ensure that they have enough men just incase one or some of their men were “attacked” by this 61 years old man.  Since he allegedly can sodomize this dashing young man, it could happen to any of the arresting offices, so they show up in force, 15 cars in total to ensure this 61 years old man is contained.

Then, why masked men? Again, this is for the safety of the arresting officers.  Some of the officers must have been as handsome as the dashing young man that made the allegations.  So, for their safety, they have to cover up their face and avoid the 61 years old man getting a hard on and ‘attack’ them.  It all makes sense doesn’t it.  What else could explain 15 cars and masked police man arresting a 61 years old man, who are not known to have any weapon nor was not thought to be involved in a violent crime.  Anyway, all these are pure speculations.  Nevertheless, I am glad that the police has put their officer’s safety up front, it is what every employee wants from their employer.  And as a tax payer, I am glad that with such design, un wanted things could be avoided and safe more tax payer money having to send the officers to hospitals.  So, all in all, this is good.  As the saying goes It is better safe than sorry.
