Now swear in the mosque. Don’t.

In yesterday’s Malaysiakini.com, there was a call from the PAS Youth chief Salahuddin Ayub to the EC chief, Tan Sri Abdul Rashid Abdul Rahman to swear in the National Mosque that elections here are clean and fair. Leaving aside the reason for the swearing, what exactly did the PAS youth chief expect to happen should Abdul Rashid actually take him up on the “challenge”?
Say that the EC chief actually goes there and swears on the holy book in front of the Imam (and doubtless, an army of PAS ulamas), that the elections are indeed clean and fair. Say that everyone, apart from him, are convinced that he’s lying. Will he be struck by lightning? Will he dissolve and disappear like vampires who got staked by Buffy? Will he turn into a blubbering imbecile?
What sort of challenge is that?

See you miss the point. After swearing and if he so happens trips on his shoe laces on the way out then the next edition of Harakah will carry the headline…
