"Saya cenderung untuk berkongsi keyakinan beliau. PR ini tidak mungkin menderita serta-merta atas penahanan liwat keduanya," tulis Kadir dalam blognya The Scribe A Kadir Jasin hari ini.
Bekas ketua pengarang kumpulan akhbar New Straits Times itu berkata pemenjaraan Anwar, sekiranya Mahkamah Persekutuan mengekalkan kesalahan dan hukuman penjara ke atas beliau Selasa ini, ia boleh "meningkatkan keazaman gabungan alternatif itu dan menggalakkan anggotanya untuk bersatu bersama-sama".
Ini berlaku walaupun terdapat "perbezaan ideologi yang dalam" antara mereka, kata Kadir, daripada pertengkaran yang sedang berlaku antara Islam PAS dan sekular DAP berikutan isu-isu seperti melaksanakan hudud, dan mengembalikan pilihan raya Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan (PBT).
"Ia juga boleh mewujudkan pusingan simpati yang baru terhadap beliau, terutama dalam kalangan golongan muda anti kerajaan," kata Kadir.
Baru-baru ini Anwar berkata bahawa PR masih mempunyai sokongan yang padu daripada rakyat dan sokongan itu mampu meningkat sehingga 60% jika beliau dipenjarakan sekali lagi.
Pada pilihan raya umum pada Mei 2013 lepas, PR memenangi 52% undi popular, walaupun Barisan Nasional mendapat lebih banyak kerusi di Parlimen untuk membentuk kerajaan yang memerintah.
"Anwar mengisytiharkan 'Lawan Tetap Lawan' tidak kira sama ada beliau dipenjarakan atau tidak," kata Kadir.
Wartawan veteran itu meramalkan sokongan kepada Anwar akan datang daripada golongan muda. Katanya remaja yang berusia 10 atau 15 tahun pada tahun 1999 – dalam perbicaraan kes liwat pertama Anwar – kini berusia 25 atau 35 tahun, dan mereka adalah "orang-orang muda yang pemarah".
"Mereka tidak begitu tahu tentang apa yang berlaku pada abad yang lalu. Tetapi mereka tahu apa yang berlaku sekarang. Malah kebanyakan penyokong setia Umno mengakui Barisan Nasional (BN) tidak mendapat sokongan pengundi muda dengan hanya menjatuhkan Anwar dan PR, "katanya.
Memetik daripada kata-kata seorang Ahli Parlimen PKR yang Kadir tidak namakan, Kadir berkata idea PR tidak akan mati walaupun Anwar dipenjarakan sekali lagi.
"Pada mulanya ia didorong idealisme. Sekarang ia didorong kuasa yang mana haya terletak kepada rakyat," katanya.
Anwar mengemukakan rayuan liwat keduanya, kali ini terhadap bekas pembantunya Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, yang mendakwa Ketua Umum PKR itu meliwatnya pada tahun 2008.
Mahkamah Persekutuan yang mendengar rayuan Anwar selama 7 hari pada bulan Oktober dan November tahun lepas akan mengeluarkan keputusan pada Selasa ini. – tmi
Mudah-Mudahan Anwar Dipenjara
Anwar's Date With Justice: Will PR Break Up...
The clock is ticking for Parliamentary Opposition Leader and the Ketua Umum of Parti Keadilan Rakyat, (Datuk Seri) Anwar Ibrahim.
On Tues, Feb 10, if the Federal Court keeps its date, Anwar will either be a free man or a prisoner.
If he is set free, his supporters will say justice prevails. His detractors will say the judges erred and the conspiracy theorists will say Obama has a role.
If he is sent to prison, his supporter will say that justice is perverted and some Umno guys will jump with up and down like flea-infested primates believing that this is the end of PKR and Pakatan Rakyat.
But the man himself believes that, based on the law and the testimony of witnesses, he would surely be found not guilty.
But if he is send to jail, he said, the PR would win the next election and take over Putrajaya.
I am inclined to share his optimism. The PR is unlikely to suffer instantaneous combustion upon his second sodomy jailing.
On the contrary, his imprisonment could increase the resolve of the alternative coalition and encourage the member parties to stay together in spite of their deep ideological differences.
It could also generate a new round of sympathy for him, especially among young anti-establishment Malaysians.
Bear in mind that the first sodomy trial and conviction (which was later overturned) took place in 1999 - some 15 years ago. Boys and girls who were then 10 or 15 years old are today 25 or 35 years old angry young men and women.
They did know much about what happened in the last century. But they know what is happening now. Even the most extreme of Umno loyalists admit that the Barisan Nasional (BN) is not getting the support of young voters by merely running down Anwar and the PR.
Anwar is preparing for the Feb 10 verdict well. On Feb 7 Anwar was reported as saying that despite all the attacks against PR, the opposition coalition still obtained 52% of the popular vote in the last general election.
"The people support us. We got 52% (of popular votes). If I am put in jail again, we will win 60%," he said at a gathering in Sungai Dua, Bayan Baru in Penang.
The vintage Anwar prevails, declaring “lawan tetap lawan” irrespective of whether he is jailed or not.
One PKR Member of Parliament put it this way. The PR idea was born when Anwar was in prison. It proved effective during the 1999 general elections. It took off when Anwar was released. It would not die should Anwar be sent to jail again. In the beginning it was driven by idealism. Now driven by the power vested in it by the people.- A Kadir Jasin
Hadi hadir mesyuarat Majlis Pimpinan PR...
Selain Hadi, Pimpinan tertinggi PR yang turut hadir, PenasihatDAP, Lim Kit Siang; Setiausaha Agung DAP, Lim Guan Eng; Ketua Umum PKR, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim; Presiden PKR, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, dan Timbalan Presiden PKR, Mohamed Azmin Ali.
Sementara itu, Setiausaha Agung PAS, Datuk Mustafa Ali berkata, agenda utama mesyuarat PR hari ini adalah untuk memperkasakan PR.
Mesyuarat petang ini juga membincangkan isu-isu mendesak gabungan itu.
Kali terakhir pimpinan tertinggi PR bermesyuarat pada Oktober lalu ketika kemelut Menteri Besar Selangor melanda.
Dilaporkan sudah hampir setahun Hadi tidak hadir dalam mesyuarat PR sehingga menyebabkan DAP mengkritik dan menggesanya hadir kali ini.
Hadi dan Guan Eng akhir-akhir ini bergaduh dalam media berhubung isu Hudud dan pilihan raya Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan (PBT)sehingga meretakkan lagi hubungan antara parti dalam PR.
Sebelum ini, Hadi melukakan hati rakan-rakan mereka dalam PR apabila enggan menyokong Wan Azizah Wan sebagai Menteri Besar Selangor untuk menggantikan Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim.- fmt

Pakatan shows united front but defers hot issues...
Anwar, flanked by over 20 leaders from all three Pakatan parties, reiterated the coalition would make its decisions based on consensus but at the same time "celebrated" differences between them.
"The
(leadership council) meeting has agreed to discuss and draft a solution
to the Syariah Criminal Code (II) Enactment and local council elections
in a special meeting," he told a press conference at the PAS
headquarters this afternoon.All top leaders were present at the press conference except PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang.
However, Anwar stressed that Abdul Hadi was present throughout the Pakatan leadership council meeting and was only absent from the press conference.
Anwar added that Kelantan Deputy Menteri Besar Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah was also present at the meeting today, and had given a brief explanation on the state's hudud plan.
The statement was signed by Anwar, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng and PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang.
PAS and DAP have been at loggerheads over their respective push for hudud in Kelantan and local council elections.
Pakatan to meet again in two days' time
PAS secretary-general Mustafa Ali later told journalists that there is still a month's time to decide on when the special meeting will be convened, before the Parliament sitting in March.
All top leaders were present at the press conference except Abdul Hadi.
However,
Anwar stressed that Abdul Hadi was present throughout the Pakatan
leadership council meeting and was only absent from the press
conference.Journalists were later informed by PAS vice-president Salahuddin Ayub (right) that Abdul Hadi had to rush for another programme in Shah Alam.
On top of the planned meeting, Anwar said Pakatan will also reconvene in two days' time, on the day of his Sodomy II judgment where he faces the possibility of jail.
He said Pakatan leaders will discuss the coalition's next move depending on the outcome of the Federal Court's decision.
Anwar also announced that a Pakatan convention will be held on May 10 to "reinvigorate" its support base.- mk
