Remember I asked the question what and who defines “threat to national security”?

It looks like one does not have to wait for long to answer that answer. TheStar reported:-

PKR adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is a threat to national security and the economy due to his lies, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said.

I have heard many “sources” of threat to the national security but this is the first time, “lies” been used as a source.

So what if Anwar’s “lies” turn out to be true, then what happens?

When I was in my secondary school, this comic book – The Adventures of Tintin series was one of the most sought out “books” in the school library (ya, we had good collection of comic books in library and we often read them just before the examinations to release tensions).

In fact, if you can get a hold of it – you have hit the jackpot!

There was a long “queue” for the Tintin comic book – and arrangements are often made “under table” with librarian on duty. When someone returns the comic for good (for good means they don’t “renew” their borrowing of the book), the librarian will keep it under the librarian’s table and once his buddy comes along, the book will be conveniently taken out for the buddy to borrow.

Sometimes if we know who had borrowed it, we make arrangement with the person directly. On extreme cases, we “haunt” those who are holding the book to quickly return it.

Ah, my precious…
