Without Trust We Have Nothing

YOURSAY | 'Nurul Izzah has nothing to champion as her father has not been keeping his promises.'
Rafizi slams leak of confidential letter, questions breach of party etiquette
Rafizi’s letter leak not from PKR sec-gen’s office, says Fuziah
ScarletPanda9731: It is very sad and regrettable that confidentiality is treated very lightly.
It is just a matter of trust. If a person cannot be trusted, then no agreement, no contract, and no negotiation can be done.
As the great Indian leader, Mahatma Gandhi, once said: “A vow is a vow; it cannot be broken.”
The great lady (former deputy prime minister and former PKR president) Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail said: “A promise is a promise.”
She promised former Dr Mahathir Mohamad that if Pakatan Harapan were to win the general election, he would be the prime minister again.
After the 2018 general election, Wan Azizah had an audience with the Agong at the Istana Negara.
She was asked to form the government, but she said, “No, we have promised Dr Mahathir.” Mahathir became the seventh PM, his second time in the post.
That was the beauty of a promise made by Wan Azizah. I salute her for honouring her promise. The principle of trust was involved. Stand firm on your statement.
Similarly, the MA63 (Malaysia Agreement 1963) for Sabah and Sarawak gave assurance to the two states and gave them confidence to join Malaysia.
In any agreement, trust is a must. It is confidential, and nothing is revealed to other parties.
Trust is the strongest currency in the world. No trust, no deal. All things fall flat when trust flies out of the window.
So, stand tall. Walk tall. Talk straight. “Have that iron in you or give up leadership,” remarked Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew.
“Be correct, not politically correct.”
GanMu: It is expected, someone must be the culprit. Go all out, Rafizi Ramli, and let the rakyat know what the father-daughter combo is up to.
She (Nurul Izzah Anwar) thinks she can ride on her dad’s popularity. When it comes to substance, she has nothing to offer besides the usual jargon of uplifting society, equal opportunities for all, and new strategies for the general election.
It is a fact that she was popular in garnering support for her father, who was jailed and used reformasi as her weapon. She would not have succeeded without the input of Rafizi (incumbent PKR deputy president) and others.
Now she has nothing to champion because her father has not been keeping his promises. When her father became the 10th prime minister (after the 2022 GE), she went into doldrums.
Now she is stepping into the limelight for glory and plans to oust Rafizi.
A cruel way of moving up. To top it all, she has no guts to face Rafizi and take up his challenge. A coward wanting power.
Her so-called cause to protest Azam Baki's re-appointment as MACC chief is so silly.
She should have done this a long time before his appointment was renewed. Had she done that, to give her the benefit, he may not have been reappointed.
She may feel flattered that she has the support of almost all delegates, but I feel sad for Rafizi to be treated like this.
I am indeed proud and happy that he still has his fighting spirit in him to take on any defeats, betrayal, or loss.
God will always stand by such fearless leaders, who will bend to no one but their conscience.
I, for one, will always support Rafizi after this loss, be it forming a third force or whatever he chooses to do. He has the intelligence, the clout, youth, and the energy to succeed in his endeavours.
More importantly, he is a crowd puller with his downright honesty and integrity. I wish him good luck and plenty of success.
Coward: All party elections will expose friction and cause party division. This is expected as part of the democratic process.
What is important is how the factions fight during campaigning, and how they heal the wounds afterwards.
With most parties, it is winner takes all, and the loser is consigned to oblivion.
It is partly this threat that drives Nurul Izzah to contest now. You can claim it is Anwar’s decision for her to contest, but don’t forget, it requires her signature on the candidate form, and she signed it.
So obviously, she felt some real threat.
BlueCougar1744: It is no longer relevant who wins and who loses. After the onslaught and the end, the whole PKR loses, and the responsibility now rests on Anwar, who has been silent or unable to quell the resentment.
PKR, as a whole, has lost its direction. From refomasi to refomati. From a secular party to embracing all Islamic narratives and Islamisation. From a party meant for all Malaysians, it is a party that only looks at the interests of a certain section of society.
Anwar appears to be behaving like he were the prime minister for the Palestinians.
Ego, lack of humility, and his zeal and quest for Islamisation and Muslim Brotherhood have “given” him a place and role in the Middle East, but as a toy to meet their objectives.
What is Malaysia to PKR now, since the prime minister is from the party, and no one there dares to do the right thing?
The world at large is meant for all. Not Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, and the like, but for all faiths.
Our creator created man as equals. There is no such thing as favouritism, which is a “sin” in nature.
To the atheist, it may not concern them, but when their rights are been trampled upon, we have resentment.
Those in Harapan will not want to rock the boat, but the tides are turning and turning fast against them.
They have two years to correct this, but even before the wheel starts to turn forward, it is turning backwards. What a joke. - Mkini
