While Malaysians are still quarrelling over kangkungs and religious words, a travesty that almost went unnoticed is Anwar's manipulative press statement that blamed the Malaysian Foreign Ministry for his denial of entry to Japan yesterday. In its usual attention-seeking tradition, PKR today demanded Putrajaya rescind an unwarranted report on Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim allegedly sent to the Japanese government and which prevented the opposition leader's entry into Tokyo yesterday. Anwar claims he had been invited by Nippon Foundation chair Yohei Sasakawa to present a paper on Muslim Democrats. This is the second invitation since he first went there on April 19, 2011.
Foreign Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman denied Anwar's allegation that Wisma Putra had a hand in barring him entry into Japan. He clarified that under Japan's Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act, the Japanese government had the right to deny entry to any person who had been previously convicted or imprisoned in either Japan or any other country.
What lurks behind this seemingly innocent denial of entry that compelled Anwar to create such an outcry over this ban? Simple. Anwar failed to tell us that his host, Yohei Sasakawa, is the son of Sasakawa Ryoichi - the creator of the gambling industry that we know today. Imprisoned as a Class A war criminal after World War II, Sasakawa is viewed with hostility by intellectuals internationally. Most importantly, Sasakawa is the founder of the Yakuza in Japan.
The Yakuza or gokudo is the world's largest criminal organization and represent transnational organized crime syndicates in Japan. As depicted in movies, the Yakuza are notorious for their strict codes of conduct and very organized nature. Hence, the Japanese media carry stories about Yakuza who operate internationally with an estimated 103,000 members.
Now, what is the TRUE reason Anwar wanted to go to Japan so desperately? Could there be a hidden link to the Yasukuni Shrine controversy?
After WW2, arrest orders were given for 126 Japanese suspects on Class-A (crime against peace) charges and this was narrowed to 14. Of those who were released without charge included Kishi Nobusuke (Abe Shinzo's grandfather) and Sasakawa Ryoichi who promoted the anti-communist alliance with the United States. The Yasukuni Shrine claims to host the deified souls of military personnel who lost their lives in service to the nation. The controversy arose after 1978 when the new chief priest of the Yasukunia added 14 wartime military and civilian leaders who were executed as Class A criminals by decisions of the Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal or who died during imprisonment to the list of souls enshrined at the shrine.
Many Japanese doubt the legal, ethical, and factual legitimacy of the tribunal hence any Japanese political leader's visit to the shrine (such as Japanese PM Abe Shinzo's visit in December 26 visit last year) triggers much criticism. Yoichi Sato, a professor of international strategic studies at Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University, wrote The Yasukuni Puzzle which sheds more light on the deep implications of the Yasukuni controversy.

Once you read the paper, you will begin to understand why the Japanese government does not want Anwar to visit Japan to be in the company of prominent personalities. Do not fall for Anwar's lies.

I am very sure more details can be shared of the potential dangers of such reunion if allowed to materialized. Congratulation and thank you to the Japanese government for the rightful decision. The very least the illegal money laundering for the yakuzi under guise of huge investments in Selangor or Penang?
You seem to imply that Yohei Sasakawa is a criminal in the mould of his father but ignored the fact that he is a social activist who chairs a foundation promoting an important social agenda. If you say that Anwar conveniently forgot to disclose the identity of the person who invited him you too are guilty of disclosing the fact that Yohei Sasakawa is also a respected social activist. A case of the pot calling the kettle black? Or are you engaging in psychological warfare? And for what purpose?
So i guess everyone who is a president of some holy foundation is an angel?
Did you know most foundation were set up to allow company to avoid tax? Wake up and welcome to reality where bad people hide behind all this.
We can only second guess the purpose of Anwar’s visit to Japan. All things said, he was bitter and quickly lashed out at the Government and Wisma Putra when he was denied entry to Japan. However he did not state the purpose of his visit. Good that Japanese government denied him entry to Japan. We can only speculate it could have been some union or unwarranted coalition in the making.
"It's anyone's guess," and my guess is:
He must be playing allegedly with the tattoo boys and girls in a Sushi-Jacuzzi bar somewhere in Kawasaki city. Together with Kanako Otsuji a lesbian, Taiga Ishikawa a gay and both are prominent Japanese politicians.
They were arrested of having underwater sex-orgy also together with James Mwansa and Phlilip Mubiana both were gays from Zambia. Both of them were barred entry to Japan. The tattoo boys smuggled them in.
They were all arrested and charged of engaging the underworld-water acts against the order of nature. But they were later released on conditional. Anwar escaped and failed to pay up the summon and bail bonds. That's why, he was kicked out on his last visit.
ok..he is the son of a mob..so how come the son of a mob got a tan sri title from the ydp agong in year 2010?
