It all started in March, there were a few new younger staffers came into the office to volunteer.

All of his earlier staffs, Nik Nazmi, Nurul Izzah and me have been assigned to contest in the General Election, we all won. There was a vacumm and Shaiful came in. He was introduced by another junior staff who was assisting Nik Nazmi.
 
We believe he was planted because we received information about his cozziness with UMNO bigshots very early, Anwar decided to gave him chance and did not think a 23 year old would do any harm to him. 

DSAI seek refuge in several embassies due to security threat after the incidents. Police sources had informed us that they will arrest him that night. As an old man with a back injury, all of us advised him to seek refuge. He simply could not undergo the hell of 1998 again. Several embassies offered the refuge, he chose Turkey.
 
That was the basic story. It is important to note that the timing of this incident, because, BN is suffering attacks from all sides. Within BN there are serious internal squabbles. Outside BN there is a huge oil hike crisis out there and people are suffering. Then, there is Altantuya case haunting Najib’s and his wife. There are no significant reform done to judiciary, police and governance. So, as a result, they decided to divert the attention.
 
It is important for civil societies to focus on the reform agenda: Democracy, judicial reform, rule of law, police reform, freedom of media etc. Do not let the BN get away with these dirty tactics.
 
This is the critical time for the country to move forward or go back to dirty politics that is so “menjijikan”. Let us all try to push through the critical reform agendas. Do not lose focus. Write blogs, share ideas, send sms, organize forums to bring reform to the country. I think the March 8 General Election has sent BN a strong message. 
 
Sincerely,
Sim
