Pkr Polls Just The Latest In A Series Of Disappointments

---

Tian Chua’s call to PKR members to close ranks and reward Rafizi with a post on the central leadership council merely shows how he – probably like the others in the party – think the public are foolish
PKR has consistently disappointed, whether in its Kajang move, in Mohamed Azmin Ali absconding as Selangor Menteri Besar and the fractious infighting to replace him, in their outgoing president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail vacillating on women's issues and in its own clownish, so-called democratic, election farce
Neither its president or the president-elect 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 increase in membership for the Julau division by 13,000 in a day reflected democracy only incriminates them
In these circumstances, Chua's call for reconciliation is a joke, all we can see is further tensions building up within
As a party, PKR has disappointed at every critical juncture when they should have shown leadership.It is worrying that soon to be leader, Anwar, is also set to be prime minister after showing so little leadership in his own party
I feel they will disappoint again when Anwar moves up and his self-declared ‘chosen’ man then flexes his muscles, to our collective detriment. - Mkini
