PKR reform credentials in deep doubt
He can say anything prior to an election and you bet he would, wakakaka, but there is no iron-clad guarantee the so-called Pakatan reform agenda will be met after the election.

FMT – Tian Chua: Future PM must be loyal to reforms, not individuals (extracts):
is he PKR or Pribumi?be careful when asking, he bites, wakakaka |
PETALING JAYA: PKR vice-president Tian Chua says there will be no conflict within Pakatan Harapan over the post of prime minister if the opposition wins the coming general election (GE14).
This is because the leader will be chosen based on loyalty towards reforming the country’s laws and economy, not loyalty towards individuals. “It does not matter who in PKR or our partners becomes the prime minister.”
“The leader must be loyal to the agenda we are fighting for. He or she must not be chosen just because a party or a person is loyal to an individual,” he told FMT.
He can say anything prior to an election and you bet he would, wakakaka, but there is no iron-clad guarantee the so-called Pakatan reform agenda will be met after the election.
Perhaps the original Pakatan Rakyat (now extinguished) could be relied upon but alas, not the current Pakatan Harapan as it has the most non-reformist Mahathir, the notorious Constitution-mutilator-destroyer, and his Pribumi in the coalition.
Tian Chua is just saying so to convince us that even without Pakatan Harapan (PH) naming a PM-designate, it’s safe to vote for his party PKR as his party’s so-called reform agenda is assured.
His “It does not matter who in PKR or our partners becomes the prime minister” does not hold water because the new PM, assuming Pakatan wins in GE14, may well be most non-reformist Mahathir of Pribumi, wakakaka.
Pribumi is of course Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM), a racially exclusive ketuanan party which party-name is already an insult to non-Malays, telling them (the non-Malays) they are second class citizens and thus cannot be members of his elitist gold card party.
The worst hypocritical offence by Pribumi is its sinister guise to conceal its ketuanan name by calling itself Bersatu, when that’s the exact opposite of its party’s doctrine, unless ‘bersatu’ has been meant only for pribumi or bumiputera.
Be that as it is, let’s examine the policy stand of the component paties of Pakatan Harapan (PH) because we need to see how far Tian Chua’s words, at least for PKR, can be relied upon.
It so happened Sweetie Boo Su-Lyn of MM Online did a survey on the individual stand of PH component parties, namely, PKR, Pribumi, DAP and Amanah, on certain socio-politico-economic, etc issues – I refer to the newspapers’ Where does Pakatan Harapan stand on issues?.
We know that the 4 parties have different ideologies, with:
* PKR claiming to stand on political-reform multi-racialism,
* Pribumi on … well …. pribumi (Malay) interests,
* DAP on secular socialist democracy, and
* Amanah on welfare based on Islam.
That’s what each claims to be so. Well, we shall see, wakakaka.
But I might just point out at this stage that PKR is still working up a special deal between itself and PAS, already the political foe of PH.
Indeed, I see the MM Online survey springing some surprises on their individual stand. Let’s select a few to analyse, touching on especially those points which see different positions by PH members, and controversial points as well, eg. ‘Ban child marriages’.
