早在2010年,旺阿兹莎在公正党全国大会上向1500名代表致词时指出,上苍选中其丈夫安华,带领马来西亚人走向更美好的未来。

当时,她说,安华非常杰出,是上苍赐予来领导人民的。如果安华像普通人一般,他早在各种障碍和挑战前退缩并陷入困境。

旺阿兹莎说:“安华没面对过什么?他被拘留,被关在监狱里,遭到殴打,折磨和羞辱。自独立以来,没有其他领导人像安华一样遭到诽谤,侮辱和折磨。但安华仍然坚强与我们一起斗争。”

回到2018年,旺阿兹莎关于她亲爱的丈夫之预言,比当时更有意义。

“后门”进国会可耻

安华曾一度置身在良好的处境,突然间一切都被剥夺了,包括他的自由。经过几年的抗争后,他得到了上苍的祝福,并与许多当年造成其苦难处境的人,建立了新的友谊。

如今,那些当年发誓效忠安华敌人的人,不仅誓言支持安华,而且还要为安华助选,确保他在即将到来的补选中获胜,为安华出任下一任首相铺路。

哇,安华似乎符合了“天选之子”(Chosen One)描述,不是吗?然而,必须指出的是,虽然安华如今的地位,就如所预言般,但奇怪的是,最近围绕著“天选之子”的新闻,似乎反映著一个严重的危机,我认为,这无疑令到安华蒙受羞辱。

是的,我指的就是最近要一位当选的议员腾空席位,以便让“救世主”轻易(我更喜欢称之为“后门”)进入国会,而不必像其他人一样,须等待下一次的大选。

好像这还不可耻,安华还发表了一份声明,向人们保证,他一旦担任首相,他的妻子旺阿兹莎,多年来在他被监禁时,一直站在改革运动最前沿的人,将会辞去副首相职。

正确来说,在旺阿兹莎遵照其亲爱丈夫要求之前,媒体报导,她曾反问,她们一家三口都投入政治,有何不妥,这清楚地表明她有意愿继续担任现有官职,但像许多听话的穆斯林妻子一样,我想旺阿兹莎的意愿,许多人会认为无关紧要了?安华这种似乎坐享其成的习惯,是可耻的,这让我怀疑─安华真的是上苍所选的那个人吗?

上苍提醒人不可貌相

确实,安华掀起的改革运动,使到在野党能够赢得最近的大选。但话说回来,我们别忘了,烈火莫熄运动一开始不是神圣的要使我们摆脱专制政府,相反,这是一场因个人不满被革除后而掀起的运动。无论如何,我想对安华的铁杆粉丝说,安华被革除也可能是上苍安排好的命运。

尽管我很想说安华不可能是上苍所选的那个人,但我一直在提醒自己,这只是个人从狭隘的角度来看待,忘了上苍是最终决策者。上苍是可以选择一个非信徒、一个奸夫、一个小偷,甚至一个凶手作为他的使者。毕竟,希特勒、奥萨玛、特朗普和纳吉,也是上苍选出来的──唯一的区别是,有些人带来了改变,另一些则带来毁灭。

因此,为何不是安华?也许安华,就是“天选之子”;也许安华被上苍派来提醒我们,人不可貌相;也许安华是上苍赐予马来西亚人的礼物,让我们学会如何捍卫及争取本身权益。

也许安华是上苍用于让我们打开眼界并接受事实,即任何把自己打造为国家救世主的领导人,并不总是如他们所言般,有时,他们甚至无法达到我们平民所追求的简单道德标准。

也许上苍选择安华,是要传达一个重要讯息,即我们应有更好的选择。如果情况是如此,我想安华就是“天选之子”。

IS ANWAR THE CHOSEN ONE? By Fa Abdul

Back in 2010, in her keynote to 1500 delegates at the PKR national congress, Wan Azizah said that her husband Anwar Ibrahim, was chosen by God to lead Malaysians towards a better future.

"Anwar is an outstanding human being, given by God to lead the people. If he is an ordinary human being like us, he would have retreated and sunk in between hurdles and challenges.

"What has not Anwar faced? He was detained, put behind bars, beaten, tortured and mortified. Since Independence Day, there are no other leaders who have been slandered, insulted and tortured continuously like Anwar.

"But Anwar remains strong and committed to our struggle," Wan Azizah said.

Fast forward to 2018, Wan Azizah's statement of her dear husband's prophecy makes more sense than it did back then.

He was once in a good place when suddenly everything he ever worked for was stripped off him, including his freedom. And years after struggling relentlessly, he was blessed by God Al-Mighty with newly formed friendships with many of those who were responsible for his sufferings in the first place.

Today, even those who have pledged their loyalty with his enemy have now vowed to not only support Anwar, but even better, campaign for him to ensure his winning in the upcoming by-election, carving a clear path for him to become the country's next Prime Minister.

Wow. Anwar does seem to fit the description of a Chosen One, doesn't he?

However, it must be noted that although Anwar's rise to where he is today is truly prophetic, strangely though, the news surrounding the Chosen One as of lately seem to point to a serious crisis of character, which in my honest opinion, puts Prophet Anwar into shame.

Yes, I am referring to the recent occurrence of an elected member of parliament having to vacate his seat in order to give the Chosen One an easy way (I prefer to call it 'back door' though) into Parliament without having to wait for the next general election like everyone else.

As if that is not shameful enough, Prophet Anwar has also made a statement, promising the people that his wife, Wan Azizah, who has been in the forefront of the reformasi battle all these years while he was behind bars, will no longer be the Deputy Prime Minister once he takes the lead as the Prime Minister.

To put things in perspective, before Wan Azizah conformed to her dearest husband's demands, she was reported in the media as asking 'what was so wrong with having all the three of them in the political arena', clearly showing her interest to continue holding her post – but like many obedient Muslim wives, I suppose what Wan Azizah wanted, doesn't matter, huh?

These shameful acts of Anwar who seem to have a habit of getting things laid on his laps without having to lift a finger makes me wonder – is Anwar really the chosen one by God?

It is true that we Malaysians believe that the reformasi revolution which was started by Anwar is what enabled the opposition to win the recent general election. But then again, we must remember that the revolution was not a divine sign by god to free ourselves from the oppressive government, instead the revolution was started by an angry man who got kicked off from his chair. Regardless, I suppose to Anwars's die-hard fans, the sacking of Anwar could also be God's way of campaigning for his Chosen One.

And as much as I would like to say that Anwar cannot be God's Chosen One, I keep reminding myself that I am conveniently looking at the scenario from a narrow perspective, forgetting that God is ultimately in control of choosing anyone and anything as his instrument. God can even choose a non-believer, an adulterer, a thief or even a murderer as his emissary. After all, Hitler, Osama, Trump and Najib were also chosen by God – the only difference being, some are sent to transform lives while others to destroy.

So why not Anwar?

Perhaps Anwar is indeed the Chosen One.

Perhaps Anwar is sent by God to remind us that not all that glitters is gold.

Perhaps Anwar is a gift by God to Malaysians to learn how to stand up and fight for our rights.

Perhaps Anwar is God's way of opening our eyes and accepting the fact that leaders who projects themselves as the country's messiahs are not always what they seem to be – sometimes, they cannot even meet simple moral standards which we, the commoners try to live by.

Perhaps Anwar is the chosen one by God to send us an important message that we deserve better.

Oh well, in that case, I suppose Anwar can be the Chosen One.
