Who replaces Anwar in Kajang by-election?
KTemoc Konsiders
Until the court’s guilty verdict on Anwar Ibrahim yesterday, PKR had been experiencing increasing sporadic palpitations with each passing day as the voters’ feedback were analysed. Anwar was no doubt still going to win but with very much reduced majority compared to Lee Chin Cheh’s. That just would not do! In fact it would have been disastrous for his reputation.
Perhaps PKR heard that mahjung sets were already being readied for voting day, wakakaka. And who was to be blamed for Kajang voters gradually losing their interests?
‘Twas none other than the clowns in the circus called PKR – they were character-assassinating themselves everyday to the dismay of their supporters and to the immense delight of BN people.
My visitor Abdul Rahman who had worked with Anwar Ibrahim before had forecast that Anwar, on seeing the major obstacles ahead in his hopeful trek towards the MB post, namely, a defiant Khalid Ibrahim, an unhappy PAS (Selangor) and possibly the Palace, might withdraw. Abdul Rahman’s prediction has come true though not for the reasons he had forecast.
Back to PKR prior to Anwar’s conviction – Some worried about the weakening support for Anwar and diminishing interests in the polls (though Anwar would have still won) must have beseeched the gods for good fortune. With the involuntarysembelih of Anwar Ibrahim at the judicial altar, their pleas have been answered.
Now it’s believed that PKR will win in Kajang on 23 March 2014, and very comfortably!
But who is to be the new PKR candidate to be nominated on Tuesday?
Three names were offered, namely (i) Nurul Izzah, (ii) Rafizi Ramli and (iii) Nasution Saifuddin. Do you know of more? [This question doesn’t have to be answered by looes74 who in his silly way is likely to propose DAP’s Teresa Kok].
Now, before answering this question, just take a step backwards to review the true reason for The Kajang Betrayal – I believe and many others do as well, that PKR’s high falutin’ bullshit for creating an unnecessary by-election in Kajang were just what they were, bullshit! The true aim had been to move Khalid aside to make way for someone, not so much Anwar, though for DAP to support PKR’s new MB, it has to be (at least on the surface) Anwar.
With this in mind, will Nurul Izzah serve that ‘aim’? Of course not, so it’s most likely there will be strong internal PKR objections to her nomination. Besides, she’s only a tender chook in her sweet 30’s, hardly a suitable candidate to be MB and one who may cause PAS to choke on their mi soto, wakakaka.
