《进入国会议厅后的2分钟即睡意正浓，对副首相宣读的振兴配套意兴阑珊。》

对比不久前与安华同桌聚餐，看来貌合神离与形影不离的对象让人浮想联翩。

Don't read too much into Pak Lah-Anwar meet, says Najib

By Shannon Teoh

KUALA LUMPUR, March 11 - Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has laughed off speculation surrounding yesterday's lunchtime meeting between Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi and Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

"Don't read too much into it," he told reporters today when asked about the meeting at the Madrasah Nurul Iman in Hulu Langat in conjunction with Prophet Muhammad's birthday which fell on Monday.

The meeting reignited speculation that Abdullah may not be ready to step down yet and that the opposition would try to keep Abdullah in power.

Abdullah is set to be replaced as PM by Najib after the Umno polls at the end of the month while the opposition has not been shy to state its preference for Abdullah to continue as prime minister.

Anwar himself had downplayed the significance of the meeting saying: "too many assumptions and interpretations have been made about my presence and that of the prime minister in Hulu Langat.''

Najib also declined to elaborate on a clear timeframe for Abdullah to hand over the reins to him, merely stating that an official announcement would be made in due time.

Meanwhile, in Kota Kinabalu, Abdullah dismissed any political agenda in his unexpected meeting with Anwar.

He told reporters that there was no discussion between him and Anwar and that "there was nothing more about it,"

He said he was invited by well known Ustza Sheikh Mahmud Al-Mazjub to celebrate Malulidur Rasul to mark the ending of the spiritual development of the Uztaz.

He said that he was having lunch with the Sheikh when Anwar visited them later. He said that he and Anwar were listening to Sheikh Mahmud during lunch and dismissed bloggers' speculations of any political implications about the meeting.

期待馬來西亞的“光榮革命”

我們都在踏著歷史的來時路，走過其他人已經走過的殖民歷史，走著其他人走過的種族不平等歷史，走著王權霸主主宰改朝換代的集權歷史。

遙想當年，英國議會與王室將近半個世紀的爭端在“光榮革命”后劃下句點，當時的貴族自動下放權力，讓人民得以獲得更大的自主空間。之所以稱為“光榮”的革命，原因在于人民不必為這一場革命留下任何一滴血淚，那一刻，大家都在歡呼。

距離“光榮革命”，地球已轉了320年的今天，在我們站立的這一片國土又再重現王權、民權還有執政權的爭端。在霹靂蘇丹的一聲令下后，霹靂州議會掀起了國陣與民聯的爭執，法庭上上演了一出又一出的朝野力量角力戰。在爭執的過程中，也突發的孕育了一顆“民主之樹”。

從巧妙運用王權，到將魔爪延伸到司法殿堂，不折手段的只為了得到一個州屬所犧牲的代價太大了。它犧牲的是人民一直以來對王室的崇敬，它犧牲的也可能是正往獨立、公正邁進的司法制度。

馬來西亞人民鼓起了不少的勇氣，在獨立50年的那一刻，選擇將原有的州政權推翻。料想不到的是，在不及一年的時間，卻將面對另一番的變天，不同的是，那不在人民的掌控范圍之內。

如今不斷上演的法庭肥皂劇，只是因為有一方面要逃脫面向選民的那一刻。但是，劇情拖拉越久，越彰顯當中的荒謬與無理，越加彰顯當中的蠻橫與霸道。擁有律師身份的議長，沒有權利為自己辯護，被迫使用指定的律師顧問，當中的蹊蹺也過于顯著了。

在制度還沒有清楚分界線，沒有人曉得司法與立法的分界堤在何處時，卻有一條再清晰不已的界線，那是民之所欲與政治斗爭的分野。無論臺上的青蛙要到哪里去，無論司法能否介入議會廳里，無論王權極限去到哪里，這一切都必須以民主價值為核心。

當320年前的“權利法案”清楚的將王權切割，再將人民的權利歸還時，我們聽到的是人民的歡呼，更看到了時代的喝彩！因為，政治是統領總人之事，民主則是為人民服務的機制，人民在“光榮革命”中看到了民主的真諦。

在霹靂政治上，沒有勇氣面對人民的一方，注定必須遭受譴責，因為，那是將人民的決定權給束縛起來，強行行使個人的欲望。那更是剝奪了民主價值的殘暴舉措！

歷史驗證，民主的前進必然會遇到多番的阻撓，在它前面有欲望、權利、金錢在阻擋前路，但慶幸的是，集人民之力可以推開重重的阻撓。沒有人曉得誰會是推動馬來西亞“光榮革命”巨石的推手，但，期待那一雙無形的手及早展現它的無邊能量，還人民最渴望的民主自由！
