Dead end for Anwar and Rafizi
Jeg Hui, Malay Mail Online
More than a month after the Kajang Move was launched, we lost our brothers and sisters in the MH370 tragedy. Both Reformasi 2.0 and Kajang Move have died down since until recently when the latter was revived.
As soon as it was resurrected, again we lost our brothers and sisters in another aviation tragedy, the shooting down of MH17.
No, the Kajang Move did not cause these tragedies. However, it is very important to note how these power-crazed politicians ignore these national tragedies and moved forward with their power-lust, unethical agenda. I will mention names. These people are no other than Anwar Ibrahim with the help of Rafizi Ramli. PKR’s popularity went down in the most hypocritical fashion.
Anwar’s attack on Tun Mahathir back in the 90s used the nepotism claim on the former premier. Now, after failing to wrest Putrajaya from Barisan Nasional in the 13th General Election, he wants to make himself the mentri besar of the richest state of Malaysia. Since his sodomy verdict was overturned by the Court of Appeal, he has to back his too-obedient wife to be the puppet mentri besar, something she admits today is exactly what is going to happen. His daughter, who is currently facing marital problems, is the Lembah Pantai MP. If this is not nepotism, then donkeys might actually fly.
Another famous PKR propaganda is “Demi Rakyat” (for the People). For most of us Selangorians, we know Abdul Khalid Ibrahim is working hard for the people evident in the RM3 billion pile of cash reserves he accumulated and the recent concluded water deal in which he thought was fair value, based on his reputable investment banking skills. Evidently, the Kajang Move, which was to remove Khalid, is not the wish of the Rakyat and the tagline Demi Rakyat is nothing more than just a big fat lie. In a recent survey by Astro Awani, 62.4 per cent of the rakyat favour Khalid Ibrahim to be retained as mentri besar of Selangor while Wan Azizah only managed to get 9 per cent for the same post.
We all thought the Kajang Move was just a mere scam to get people’s attention on Anwar Ibrahim’s sodomy conviction and rejuvenate “Reformasi”. The timing of the MH370 tragedy somewhat failed Reformasi 2.0 as not many turned up at its first gathering at Kajang Stadium. Maybe this is true until recently, when noticing that the support for PKR has gone down, they are going back to their words that the Kajang Move is to remove Khalid, so that people will go “oh, Kajang Move is really necessary”. Funny though, reviving the Kajang Move has not only made PKR lose its integrity much more but also could spell the breakup of Pakatan.
The Kajang Move, where fanboys thought to be made by a genius, could even mark the death of the two-party system.
PAS is now sitting pretty as the kingmaker of Selangor over this issue. Should Khalid be expelled from PKR, PAS can conveniently accept him with open arms, increasing the number of ADUNs to 16, the biggest in the ruling coalition while retaining the mentri besar. This move will infuriate PKR and DAP but PAS will conveniently say they will still remain with Pakatan Rakyat nonetheless. PKR or DAP cannot expel PAS from Pakatan Rakyat as there is really no Pakatan Rakyat under a registered society. Then, this is a dead-end for both Anwar and Rafizi together with their political careers.
Abdul Khalid Ibrahim, a man with principle, will not resign. If he does, he will be forgotten as a lame duck who went down without a good fight against immoral politicians. As the Malay says, “bukan anak jantan”. So PKR might think they can push for a vote of no confidence against Khalid in the State Assembly. With PAS and Barisan out to defend the man, the vote will not be in their favour; the possibility the Pandan MP genius has failed to see.
Barisan might pounce at this opportunity to regain Selangor together with PAS, Khalid Ibrahim and other Khalid supporters who might also defect. Again, dead-end for Anwar Ibrahim and Rafizi Ramli.
The ultimate decision maker for the post, the Sultan of Selangor, will also oppose the appointment of Wan Azizah as the mentri besar, so I was told. Triple dead-end.
So, I wonder, what were they trying to do actually apart from showing that Anwar Ibrahim is the boss of PKR? Not Khalid Ibrahim. Not even the President. Thus, the Kajang Move is just a bloody waste of the rakyat’s time and money, really.
