Apa Sudah Jadi ? 'What is happening?

Malaysia is reeling with scandals. Sex scandals that ranges from a Minister raping a maid to an Islamic head now accused of having an affair with a TV starlet. Besides these cases, the country also saw the arrest of an Islamic  court Judge for close proximity with a woman in a hotel room.
It was a hectic end of the year for Malaysian blogger's who revealed the two major sex scandals, some in languages that would make one roll on the floor with laughter but after thinking deeply   on the consequences of such acts committed by the high class in the country, these are serious offenses indeed.
The worst part is that these acts were perpetrated - according to the information in the blogs- by Muslim heads. From the Cultural head to the Islamic head, there seems to be only one difference now: Rape or consensual sex! In the Islamic values, both are condemnable by law and this is about Shariah law. And if we look into the 'civil' laws of the country, both rape and consensual sex between a Muslim man and a non-Muslim woman are altogether condemnable.
Now what is deafening about these two cases involving a Minister and a Royal family chieftain is the absolute silence on the accusations thrown at them by the blogging community. The Minister is even facing the brunt of pro-Government blogs. Rocky Bru's blog was the first to launch the attack on the Minister when it published a report - which it linked to Wikileaks - onthe rape of an Indonesian maid by the honorable Minister. I would call that 'Minus ter' instead. The other damning point in this affair is the fact that     the Minister is not resigning despite the very fact that anyone who have seen the police report from Indonesia could easily decipher the name of the Minister, though the name is barred in black ink. The affair has been around since 2007 as the 'rape' if it was one, is said to have been committed in February 18th of 2007. The recent information  I gleaned on some Indonesian blogs is that the wife of the Minister knew about the rape and would have even watched it unravelling thus becoming - according to blogs - the prime witness in the case.
The other aspect of this affair is that the opposition Pakatan Rakyat (PR) had wind of the 'rape' for sometime now. Ahiruddin Attan or Rocky Bru wrote in his blog that he has information the opposition would have used the rape case in an upcoming by-election in Johor. This woudl have really tarnished the image of the United Malays National Organization (Umno) but it is not sure whether that would have been sufficient to help the PR win the seat as Johor is a state where the PR is not that strong as it is elsewhere in Malaysia.
ty Keadilaan Rakyat (PRK) -the appointment of a new SUK of the state or Secretary of state. The bloggers hounding the Sultan wrote in plain language that the new SelangorSUK knew about   the 'affair' with the pretty lady and covered it up...Talking of cover-ups, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia is also said to have covered up the 'rape' case of the Cabinet Minister.
Hence, if we understand the blogger Rocky Bru, he published the report about the rape in order to outsmart the opposition and prevent them from using it during the Tenang election. Bad move indeed since now the Umno and the Barisan National (BN) regime has to explain on the rape, the defeaning silence and the fact that the Minister is still in the Cabinet!
While the country was still feeling the heat of the rape case, local bloggers started to attack the Sultan of Selangor for a purported affair with a local TV actress. This was in response to what they call the Sultan's interference in the affairs of the opposition run state of Selangor. The Sultan   is said to have approved without consulting Khalid Ibrahim the Menteri Besar or the Chief Minister of Selangor - who hails from the Pakatan Rakyat - the nomination of the new SUK.
It is also obvious that Tun Mahathir Mohamad, the King Maker after the fall of Abdullah Badawi, would have known of the rape case and why not of the indiscretions of the 'Ruler'? These scandals are sufficient to bring more disdain from the public towards the leaders of the nation and could influence their voting patterns in the next General Elections due in 2013 but which is being rumored to be very soon.
