MP SPEAKS | Najib's pardon: Silence before the storm

MP SPEAKS | To my friends who are distraught after reading Dennis Ignatius’s article “Is Anwar colluding with Umno to set Najib free?” 

I say, “Oh ye of little faith, why are you so afraid?”  

Must Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim be called to calm the seas and winds, each time it starts to rain?  If he does not, does it mean he is colluding with the heavens to stir up the storms?

Obviously not! However, this is the premise of the article. 

The hasty generalisation from silence 

The premise for the charge of collusion is found in only one sentence in the entire article. 

Anwar has kept silent in the wake of the attacks on the judiciary: “The judiciary,  a vital national institution, one of the pillars of our democracy, is under attack and the  Prime Minister remains a mute witness.” 

This is a hasty generalisation fallacy. A conclusion that is reached, that is not logically justified by sufficient or unbiased evidence...
