I begin this post with an apology. I have many good friends in PKR. They are awesome people, and I love them, and nothing’s gonna change that.

I also apologize for the (unnaturally) high occurences of expletives that may occur disporportionate to the more polite tone of this post.

That being said,

Dear PKR…

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOUR PARTY?Like, seriously, what the fuck?

Let’s see what has happened la.

The Azmin-Khalid Rift

1) Azmin and Khalid has had a thorny relationship. Generally speaking,people like Khalid. He’s been an effective administrator and a prudent financial mediator.Fiscal spending has gone down. Reserves has gone up.Relationship with the civil service has improved. Sure, now there are many people saying . “Actually he’s not so good…we just made him look that way” Well, then why the fuck did you all bodek him for 5 years and counting?

2) Azmin and Khalid’s can be seen from two angles- administrative and political. The ONLY administrative issues that have been (openly) highlighted were Faekah and ‘why are we saving so much and not spending’. but politically- they have been noisy about councillor appointments, allocations, contracts, GLC appointments….see a pattern? People are arguing over largesse and spoils of war, not policy. And that saw Khalid removed as Selangor PKR boss in favour of Azmin.So Azmin wields political power and Khalid wields administrative power.Fine.

2008

3) Suddenly, PAS and DAP are more powerful than PKR. Collectively, of the 40 plus seats, PKR controls LESS than a third. Yet they still hold, in a compromise, the MB seat. They allowed the Sultan to chose, and Khalid was chosen. So see, they surrendered the MB position to Khalid, not PKR. Remember the backlash Zuraida got when she told PAS and DAP it was an ‘internal matter’?

4) That’s just it- it isn’t. PKR alone is a Party with 14 seats.The coalition won the state, not the party. PKR should stop behaving like the state is theirs alone. The MB-ship DOES NOT BELONG TO PKR.

Principles

5) There is so much talk about principles- when Najib became BN Selangor Chairman, the ‘boo’ from PR was so loud.He is a national leader la, he should focus on Putrajaya la.What is Anwar doing now? When the NFC Scandal Broke out, Najib at first denied and later admitted he knew. What did Anwar say ? “Dia ingat rakyat lembu?” When PKR politicians resigned or defected in the past, Anwar would say they betrayed the people’s trust. So….WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW?

6) In three days, three lies. First, Anwar said no resignations, no reshuffle, no plan for MBship. Then a resignation happened. Then Anwar said they need to decide who to put, but he had no plans. Then they put him to contest.Now he says contest yes, by election yes, but no, I won’t be MB. STOP LYING. You’ve been lying from Day One, you’re still lying now.If the intention has been to replace Khalid, just be up front about it.Why lie?

Anwar The Saviour?

7) As a friend of mine who happens to be a PAS Pahang Exco so aptly asked on his Facebook update:- 40+ ADUN kat Selangor tak ada seorang pun layak jadi MB. I mean come on- seriously?

8) OK, so Parliament needed Anwar, so a YB resigns and lets him come into Parliament, but that is acceptable la- his wife (otherwise 3 in the family in one Dewan) and we needed an Opposition Leader out of him to be PM-in-Waiting. Now what’s the excuse? OK la, kemelut Selangor.Tomorrow if got no fire hose in Jabatan Bomba, Mindef no bullets, DBKL tak kumpul sampah eh, he wants to go in there and sit on ALL the boards with masalah ah? Even the Great Anwar cannot do that la.

What About Love?What About PAS?

9) DAP has 0 Malay-Muslim ADUNs, fair enough. PAS has 15. Of the fifteen, got 6 Exco and ex-Exco.Got doctors,engineers,lawyers. Takkan tak layak? What happens if Palace refuses?

Summarily

10) Its an internal issue that spilled over to involve everyone from the voters, component parties,EC, State. Why? If you cannot handle the state, give it to someone within your coalition who CAN.No need to bring in your party boss everytime got problem. Like that die la. In Penang if quarrel, Kit Siang join by election? If Kelantan quarrel, Hadi Awang need to go stand?When will this madness end? Practise what you preach.
