Anwar telah terlantar dikatil sejak bulan November lagi. Sudah lebih 3 bulan beliau kesakitan tetapi kerajaan begitu payah untuk membenarkan pemberian rawatan sedangkan kenyataan ramai pakar menunjukkan sakit tersebut disebabkan hentakkan. Famili Anwar bersetuju untuk membiayai sendiri kos rawatan walaupun sakit tersebut adalah berpunca dari kelalaian dan salah-laku pegawai tinggi keselamatan kerajaan (yakni Rahim Nor dan rakan-rakan). Sepatutnya kerajaanlah membiayai semua kos kerana gagal menjaga keselamatan tahanan. Sudah menjadi Piagam Antarabangsa setiap tahanan tidak boleh diapa-apakan. Tidak kiralah jika dia seorang yang melakukan jenayah luarbiasa seperti membunuh orang atau bakal dihukum di tali gantung yang mengerikan.

Polis tidak berhak menyiksa tahanan dan kerajaanlah yang harus didenda atau memberi pampasan sebagai gantirugi kepada kecederaan. Adalah amat malang negara Malaysia yang dikatakan (claim) sebagai negara Islam oleh perdana menteri bertindak sebegitu kejam. Malah lebih malang lagi kerana polis yang sudah berikrar dan bersaksi kepada Tuhan menjadi samseng membantai orang.

HOSPITAL MALAYSIA KETINGGALAN ZAMAN

Seperti yang diramalkan hanya kaedah bedah endoskopi yang terbaik untuk menyelamatkan Anwar dari lumpuh sepanjang zaman. Dan Malaysia memang tidak mempunyai cukup kelengkapan mahupun pakar yang berpengalaman. Menurut doktor dari Munich itu, pembedahan tulang belakng bukan main-main sebarangan. Satu hospital KHUSUS diperlukan. Di Munich misalnya ada sebuah bilik khas dimana hanya pembedahan saraf sebegini sahaja dilakukan. Dengan ini segala kemungkinan dan komplikasi dapat diselesaikan segera tanpa perlu menunggu terlalu lama untuk ketibaan peralatan dan ubat-ubatan. (Lagipun kesian juga kepada pesakit lain yang terpaksa menunggu doktor dan barang ini pulang. Mereka mungkin lumpuh dulu... terutamanya kes berat seperti kemalangan dan jatuh bangunan).

MEMBEDAH RAHSIA YANG TERPENDAM?

Saya berpendapat kerajaan Mahathir begitu payah untuk memberikan keizinan kerana bimbang beberapa rahsia terbongkar. Doktor yang pakar itu akan dapat mengesahkan bahawa kecederaan Anwar adalah akibat hentakkan dan ini amat membimbangkan kerajaan - kerana ia terpaksa dan sepatutnya membiayai semua perbelanjaan dan rahsia akan pecah menjadi telur tembelang.

Jika dilakukan disini maklumat mungkin boleh digam, tetapi di luar negara wartawan luar mungkin akan mendedahkan betapa polis memang merancang atau berniat untuk melakukan satu pembunuhan. Inilah antara punca kenapa lapuran perubatan penting atau 'film scan' dihilangkan. Sebagai seorang pakar Dr Hoogland akan dapat memberi anggaran bila kecederaan itu dilakukan walaupun filem tersebut sudah hilang. Inilah yang membuat pihak yang berkonspirasi tidak dapat duduk diam.

[Sudah menjadi kebiasaan polis membantai orang dengan sesuatu yang tumpul untuk memberikan kecederaan dalaman supaya sukar dikesan atau dibuktikan. Sebagai contoh getah paip penghawa dingin dapat melebamkan anggota dalaman sehingga membawa kematian. Jangan lupa kes Jaafar Puteh yang mati tiba-tiba serta seorang bapa yang mati sedangkan beliau sihat sebelum ditahan.]

Doctor: Malaysia Doesn't Have Facilities For Anwar Surgery

KUALA LUMPUR (AP)--Jailed politician Anwar Ibrahim faces a greater risk of paralysis or other complications from back surgery he needs if the operation is performed in Malaysia rather than overseas, a visiting Dutch doctor said Sunday.

Facilities at the Kuala Lumpur hospital where the Malaysian government insists that the former deputy prime minister be treated are outdated and the staff untrained for the surgery, said spine specialist Dr. Thomas Hoogland.

The government has denied Anwar's request to travel overseas for treatment on a slipped disc which has kept him bedridden since November.

But officials allowed Dr. Hoogland, from the Alpha Klinik in Munich, to visit Kuala Lumpur to examine Anwar, view operating theaters and equipment and consult with local doctors to determine the best course of treatment and whether it was available in Malaysia.

After viewing x-rays and consulting Anwar in the hospital room where is kept under guard, Hoogland said local doctors agreed with his assessment that endoscopic surgery was the best treatment.

But the Kuala Lumpur General Hospital was unsuitable, and performing the surgery in the clinic in Germany was preferable.

"An operation on the spine is not a simple thing," Hoogland told a press conference. "We have a special hosptial, a special operating room where only sinal surgery is performed. We have the best possibilities in our own situation.

Anwar Says Injuries Stem From Beating

Performing the surgery in Malaysia presented greater risk of complications, even if special equipment and a medical team were flown in from Germany.

"It is very difficult for a cook to cook in a different kitchen," Dr. Hoogland said.

Treating the back injury has become the latest controversy surrounding Anwar, who was fired by Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad in 1998 and is now serving 15 years in prison for corruption and s###my. Anwar claims he was framed to stop him from challenging his one-time mentor for power. The government denies it.

Anwar believes the injuries stem from the beating inflicted on him by the national police chief the night he was arrested - and blindfolded and handcuffed to a bed -after leading several street demonstrations against Mahathir's long rule.

Hoogland said it was possible that Anwar's condition had been caused by a beating, but that he couldn't be certain.

The physician said he would in the next few days deliver a full report on Anwar's condition to his wife Azizah Ismail, including recommendations on his future treatment.

Azizah, who leads the opposition National Justice Party which was formed in wake of Anwar's arrest, said she would pass a copy of the report to the government.

"Mr. Anwar deserves a good solution and to not be subjected to procedures that give more problems for him," Hoogland said. "In my opinion surgery should not be deferred more than four to six weeks to have still a good end result."

Azizah said that Anwar should be allowed to travel overseas for surgery if that is what Dr. Hoogland's report recommends.

"It is Anwar's constitutional right to get the best treatment," Azizah said. "That is not the prerogative of the government."
