Sudah jelas dan nyata bagaimana NGO yang kononnya "Suara Rakyat Malaysia" yang membawa suara dan hasrat rakyat tapi sebenarnya merupakan alat kepada pembangkang. Jika selama ini SUARAM melaungkan bahawa mereka adalah terus dan tidak dipengaruhi oleh mana-mana pihak. Maka jelas di sini mereka hanya digunakan oleh pemimpin pembangkang untuk survival politik pemimpin pembangkang sahaja. Artikel di bawah jelas bagaimana SUARAM menggunakan portal pembangkang The MalaysianInsider seolah-olah dilihat hanya memperjuangkan Anwar dan Karpal Singh apabila mereka dijatuhi hukuman bersalah oleh mahkamah seterusnya membawa kepada perlucutan jawatan sebagai Ahli Parlimen. SUARAM cuba memberi gambaran negatif kononnya sistem kehakiman negara tidak adil dan tidak telus. Tetapi mereka tidak pernah bising apabila sebelum ini bila mahkamah menjatuhkan hukuman bahawa Anwar Ibrahim didapati tidak bersalah di atas kes liwat.
The message from law advocates the world over is clear - the prosecutions of Anwar Ibrahim and Karpal Singh under archaic and rarely used laws are legally unwarranted and the convictions a travesty of justice.
It is the view of Suaram and Global Bersih that these statements depict selective persecutions that seek to mask assaults on democracy, Malaysia's system of parliamentary representation and opposition MPs.
Statements criticising or questioning the convictions have been made by the US State Department, United Nations, Malaysian Bar, Law Society of England and Wales, Haldane Society, Australian Bar, the International Commission of Jurists, the International Federation of Human Rights, Lawyers for Liberty, Commonwealth Lawyers Association, LAWASIA, Law Society of NZ, Lawyers Rights Watch of Canada, retired Malaysian Court of Appeal and High Court judge NH Chan and Human Rights Watch.
Suaram and Global Bersih jointly call on Prime Minister Najib Razak, Home Affairs Minister Zahid Hamidi, Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail and elected members of the Dewan Rakyat to urgently move to repeal the outdated legislations that led to their convictions and allow the duly elected members of Parliament to return to their electoral duties.
Suaram and Global Bersih hope that Karpal's 24 March appeal against his fine will eventually see truth and justice prevail to allow the MP for Bukit Gelugor to resume representing his constituents in parliament.
We hope that justice for Karpal will also pave the way for Anwar to fulfill his parliamentary duties.
In Karpal's case, the 166,000-strong Law Society of England and Wales has already written to Prime Minister Najib Razak to point out it is not seditious to "show any ruler has been misled or mistaken in any of his measures" under Malaysia's Sedition Act.
Suaram and Global Bersih believe Anwar's conviction for sodomy is just as shocking for the speed at which the three judges overturned the previous acquittal, found for a guilty verdict and handed down sentence - all in 90 minutes.
It behoves Suaram and Global Bersih to point out that while an "alternative PM" has been summarily and efficiently stripped of his ability to lead Parliament and country, the murder of Mongolian woman Altantuya Shaariibuu, a case that allegedly implicates a serving prime minister, Najib, remains unresolved after several years.
These convictions must be seen worldwide as going beyond mere attacks on Anwar Ibrahim and Karpal Singh as individuals.
These are attacks on the respective offices of the leader of the opposition and the leader of the biggest component party in the opposition alliance.
Suaram and Global Bersih therefore see these convictions as blatant attacks on fundamental principles of democracy that underlie the parliamentary process.

Kini SUARAM dikatakan akan menaja salah seorang calon Timbalan Presiden iaitu Tian Chua dengan jumlah yang agak besar (untuk artikel lanjut sila KLIK SINI). Persoalannya, kenapa SUARAM beria-ia mahu menaja Tian Chua dan dari mana datangnya sumber sebuah ngo seperti ini yang mampu menaja besar sedangkan beribu-ribu ngo lain dalam negara bergelut dengan masalah kewangan.
