Neither it is those seven deadly sin described in the Christian scriptures - anger, covert, envy, gluttony, lust, pride, and sloth (apathy).
Nor is it the seven major sin described in hadith that would concur the wrath of Allah - apostacy (syirik), witchcraft (sihir), killing of a soul, stealing belongings of orphans, riba or usury, deserter from battle, and accusing innocent lady of committing adultery.
This article on New Straits Times yesterday caught my attention while on flight to Kota Kinabalu last night. It is a translation of those sets of seven spiritual sins into seven political mistakes Anwar made.
It is a good reminder to all politicians who thinks they are too smart and refused to heed advise.
Chinese daily lists Anwar's 'seven costly mistakes'It so happen, immediately after the UMNO General Assembly, yours truly SMS an UMNO Vice President to be conscious of what he speak on the podium. Basically, stop bodeking and show some meat and intelligence (even if he doesn't have any) in what he has to say.

KUALA LUMPUR: Amid swirling speculation over the leadership of Pakatan Rakyat, a detailed analysis in a prominent Chinese newspaper on Thursday outlined "seven costly mistakes made by PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim".
The article concluded that Anwar was "not truly qualified" to lead the political grouping.
In an assessment on Anwar's performance over the past two years, the article said Anwar did not produce a counter-strategy to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's reform blueprint.
This ranges from the 1Malaysia concept, the Key Performance Indicators, National Key Result Areas, Government Transformation Plan and Economic Transformation Programme.
"He (Anwar) has not responded at all so far, but just let swing voters be gradually lured by BN," the article said.
Secondly, the article contended that Anwar had allowed Pakatan's morale to sink.
"Although Pakatan won eight of the 13 by-elections, it has been defeated in the recent ones, except in Sibu because of Chinese votes.
"Pakatan has been facing both internal and external problems and its members have lost their high morale of the 2008 general election. Anwar has not come out with new strategies to boost morale."
The article further argued that Anwar had apparently taken the people's support for the opposition in the march 2008 general election for granted and did not fulfil his election commitments.
"Fourthly, Pakatan is still a loose organisation and there is no effort to consolidate and strengthen the coalition.
"Compared with the BN, Pakatan lacks an effective structure and organisation and its discipline is in a mess.
"Pakatan is also facing contradictions and conflicts in terms of political ideology and has failed to introduce new policies."
"Fifthly, there is no political resource integration. Anwar should apply his administrative experience as the deputy prime minister in integrating the resources of the four Pakatan state governments and introducing a plan to stimulate economy in the four states.
"Sixth, Anwar seems helpless to quell the PKR infighting. Internal problems of PKR had been started since the 2008 general election, including choosing inappropriate election candidates and resolving problems by creating by-election through resignations.
"The people will not be cheated again and again.
"The withdrawal of Perak state assembly members from the party has caused the collapse of the Pakatan government in Perak.
"A few MPs and state assembly members have also quit the party after that. Anwar claimed it as a plot by Umno, but he has never seriously put any effort in resolving the factional, personnel and power struggle problems in the party.
"Finally, Anwar lacks the ability to lead and judge: A leader should be responsible, fair and unbiased. Anwar's stand in the party election is ambiguous.
"For the direct election mechanism, even outsiders have expected problems, but why did experienced leaders like Anwar fail to anticipate them?"
Marah ... mampuslah kau. Hope he doesn't go far.
And my cardinal mistake of travelling made yesterday was to leave behind my Blackberry. Sigh ...

The report says it all about the real Anwar.
And I like this best: "Anwar should apply his administrative experience as the deputy prime minister..." What administrative experience???
The only administrative experiences he applied was corruption, abuse of power and the like.
Bet his supporters will spin them 360 degree into "seven blessed virtues." LOL!
Anwar is finished. Its all over for him
just like any homo sapiens species, anwar just cant avoid committing sin.
