Aren't we in Selangor are being served with the "fruits of the labor" - excessive internal party politicking?
No?
The floret of what could potentially be a continuous future bickering has started being seen now when nine of the newly elected committee members of PKR's youth wing staged a walkout in protest of it's youth chief, Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad winning the post in their recent party election.
Rocky start for new PKR youth chief
Nik Nazmi could say, it's "disagreement" between family members.
He could also say,"Our enemy is not in this hall or within this party.
The enemy is Barisan Nasional (BN)," he told reporters.
Is Nik Nazmi forgetting - That Khalid Ibrahim (Selangor MB) was from his party?
Is he also forgetting - That Khalid became their "No.1" enemy which led to his sacking from the party?
If I can ask Nik Nazmi - Was Khalid sacked from PKR (People's Justice Party) or the BN?
Isn't Khalid - Who was regarded PKR's "enemy" succumbed to the Kajang Move "game" orchestrated by non other than his own (now former) party "family" colleagues?
Is Nazmi "shutting his eyes" or sheer "pretending" that the disarray in Selangor's administration rooted from his party internal politicking (power tussle)?
Family members?
Is Khalid still a family member, now?
No, I'm not "fighting" for Khalid.
Khalid can be a "devil" or the "fallen angel", I couldn't care less, but I see his case is best fit (most suitable) to deny PKR leaders' retrograde deeds.
They (PKR leaders), could be skillful in "manipulating" words to paint the desired picture especially, when they are laden with situations unfavorable to them, but as I have said - the public too are not that foolish with their evaluations and to the extent of being too ignorant to read the written.
It appears that they (PKR leaders) are really having troubles putting their own house in order, and how in the world would they, especially their nominated candidate for MB, Azizah, effectively solves the problems faced by Selangor people?
(If I can quote Nurul Izzah's claim in her obvious support for her mother.)
I guess, before Azizah solve problems of Selangorians, which is far too larger (in number) compared to her party members, it's wiser and seen more "competent", if she, being party president, could resolve problems in her own party. No?
Reality often hurts - but at the same time, we cannot runaway from reality.
At the end of the day, it is the same ground that we still need to trample.
"A good leader is always a leader that could lead, and willing/prepared to be led."
In this context, it apply to all leaders. Even Khalid fails to demonstrate.
Whether PR themselves realize it or not, majority of the people who wish to see a change to the ruling party BN (as indicated in their 52% popular vote majority in 13th general election) not only comprised the ordinary people, but the learned and "experts" (in their respective fields).
From academic, legal, to constitution "experts", let alone the medias, and that is why (if we noticed), numerous write-ups or articles were made/written to "favor" PR in it's own way.
Their opinions and views are often "not in the same tune" to those "group" favoring the opposite divide (BN).
They would read and translate "things" in a manner that would give PR the benefits, and if you happen to be a politically non-partisan citizen, you could quickly without strain, identify each and everyone of them through their articles.
What I can see from the whole "process" of pressuring and forcing Khalid to step-down, there are utterances/remarks that could have "hurt" the palace, especially utterances/remarks that have direct bearing on the Selangor Ruler's role, including HRH the Sultan's decision to have consented Khalid to stay on as MB (chief minister).
In their "attempts" to "help" PR, these "experts" would even furnish detailed references (local and abroad) to support their opinion and views of what "can & cannot be done" by the Sultan, as if - the Sultan is unable to act wisely.
They go to the extent of expressing fears of possible attempts to trigger unrest that create opportunity for Putrajaya to regain control of (state) Selangor through an emergency.
As a snap-polls may not benefit PR that much for obvious reason, they even expressed fear that a snap-polls could see chaos and uncertainty in the state.
The confidence/majority in support from state lawmakers Azizah has secured for instance, was translated differently by the "experts".
the pro-PR "expert(s)" said the statutory declarations were sufficient to show that Azizah commands dominance in state legislative assembly, but there is/are "expert(s)" who said quite differently.
The Star Online reported International Islamic University law lecturer Assoc Professor Dr Shamrahayu A. Aziz as saying that the PKR president's act of declaring that she had 30 lawmakers on her side might be a "morally correct" move on her part to establish that she had a majority.
However, it was still not enough to legally prove her case, she said.
PAS' call to it's two reps to retract their stand in 24 hours or face disciplinary action and "serious consequences" has also seen "mutilates" Azizah's claim of receiving support from 30 state lawmakers.
Now, it looks like the "consensus" is not an absolute "consensus" when PAS was reported still in disagreement of only nominating Azizah as MB.
"PAS refused to adhere to Pakatan consensus achieved on Aug 17 as per PR statement.
"PAS has also to date refused to write to the palace alongside PKR and DAP to endorse Kak Wan (Dr Wan Azizah), despite the urgency of the matter," said PR leader, reported by Malay Mail Online
How could anyone be "blaming" the Ruler, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah for whatever decision he would arrive, when "consensus" on Azizah as a single nominated candidate is not resolved by PR?
HRH the Sultan is scheduled to return tomorrow, with all the shortcomings - PR cannot put the blame on the Sultan, but themselves.
And PKR should take the biggest blame for causing political turmoil in Selangor, at the expense of the state and it's people.
