the sept 16 is to draw attention only... the action of sending
political members overseas was the desired action that Anwar is
hoping for... the sign of weakness. by showing this sign of
weakness, Anwar will have the opportunity to gather more attention
and lay his path to victory.
If questioned why his prediction never come true, Anwar can
truthfully state that the members was sent overseas, so his plan
was delayed.
but if UMNO never send the member overseas, they will still have
a fighting chance to retain power. But with their sign of weakness,
it is already over...
