Anwar still doesn't understand why we want him to lose so badly, so I am going to break it down for him in simple terms.
Once upon a time, not too long ago, you were a loser, and so were we.
At that time, you told us: "We are not losers, friends. We are just being forced into being losers by corrupt wrongdoers, even though we are actually winners. Support me and make me a winner, and when I become a winner, I will remove the corrupt wrongdoers and use my position as the winner to make all of you winners too."
The people did their part and made you into a winner.
But after you became a winner, you are neither removing the corrupt wrongdoers nor using your position as a winner to make us winners too.
You keep telling us you are removing the corrupt wrongdoers, but all we actually see is you being surrounded by corrupt wrongdoers. So not only are you not removing the corrupt wrongdoers, you are also talking to us as if we are stupid people who will believe you more than we believe our own eyes.
As for not doing your part in making us winners after we made you a winner, you are making it even worse by making it sound as if making yourself an even bigger winner is the same as doing your part to make us winners.
When you rub shoulders with Xi, Putin, or Trump, it is you who feels like a winner, not us.
When you drive around in a bulletproof BMW, it is you who feels like a winner, not us.
You need to stop conflating yourself with us. Just because you feel like a winner doesn't make us feel like winners. You making yourself into a winner is not the same as you doing your part to make us winners.
You don't seem to get this because you think we are like your mother, who loves you so much that we see your success as our success. We are not your mother. We don't see your success as our success. When the deal was that you would help us become winners after we helped you win, you can't just keep making yourself a bigger winner and expect us to feel like winners simply because you do.
And stop with all this talk about how, under you, the economy has gotten better and the country is being run better.
Not only does all this talk make you look self-indulgent—as though you are gloating about how well you are doing as a winner after shortchanging us—it also makes us feel worse, because all this good news you keep giving us only makes us feel like such losers that, even when the economy is supposedly doing great and the country is supposedly being run well, we are still unable to find happiness or satisfaction.
If you can't say anything nice, at least don't say anything at all.
So, to make a long story short, we want you to lose, Anwar, because if you can't do your part and help us become winners after we made you a winner, then you can bet your last ringgit that we are going to go the extra mile and turn you back into the loser that you once were.
We might not even stop there.
If you are not careful, we might even get carried away by that desire and turn you into a permanent loser, like how Najib is currently in that state.
If that comes to pass, don't say you were not warned.
P/S:To the government, if you are reading this, don't take offense at me for telling you what the people think. I am just the messenger. Don't shoot the messenger.
