Disappointing party moves

TIAN Chua’s call to PKR members to close ranks and reward Rafizi with posts merely shows how he, probably like the rest in PKR, think the public are foolish.

PKR has consistently disappointed, whether in its Kajang move, in Azmin absconding as MB of Selangor, in the fractious infighting to replace him, in their president vacillating on women’s issues and in its own clownish, so called democratic, election farce.

Neither its president or Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim could show leadership when the positionless Rafizi took on Azmin, their own party man with a national role to fulfil.

Instead, the challenger went to town to say he had the endorsement of Anwar over his own party’s second most senior minister.

If there had to be a contest, it should have been for the president’s position as the incumbent is waiting to be shown the door.

Neither the PKR president or their election coordinator even tried to explain why their election process descended into chaos.

Their “explanation” that the Jalau membership increase of 13,000 in a day reflected democracy only incriminates them.

In the circumstances, Tian Chua’s call to reconcile is a joke, all we can see is tensions building up within.

As a party, PKR has disappointed at every critical juncture when they should have shown leadership.

It is worrying that their soon to be leader, Anwar, would be leader of our nation after showing so little leadership in his own party.

I feel they will disappoint again when Anwar moves up and his selfdeclared “chosen” man then flexes his muscles to our collective detriment.
