Axe The Mavericks From Pakatan

During a dialogue session at the Sungei Ujong Club,Seremban, with the Pakatan Supremo,Anwar Ibrahim, I spoke out on the need to look at the enemies within PKR and the other Pakatan allies. PKR member of Parliament like Zulkefli Nordin and Wee Choo keong are a liabilty to the party. Instead of focussing on uniting and forging good relations with other Pakatan members, they both deem fit to destabilise the coalition by their constant criticsms. I made a passionate appeal to Anwar that these maverick politicians who won on PKR ticket should not be fielded again in the next election and even if they were fielded , most likely they will lose.

I also suggested that PKR should form a committee as soon as possible to head hunt and vet suitable candidates for the next General Election.PKR needs to find good calibre candidates as the Perak debacle has served as a warning that opportunistic candidate will sell themselves at the first opportunity when money is dangled in front of them.

Of course, Pakatan is not the only party with poor quality candidates who have to be dumped. Pas Hassan Ali, who unhesitatingly wanted to make a pact with UMNO after the last General Election has lost his credibilty.His recent outburst regarding the beer issue in Shah Alam has caused PAS to lose alot of support from the non-muslim community.Together with Ibrahim Ali who won on a PAS ticket in Pasir Mas , Kelantan, these two maverick loose cannons have to be replaced if the party wants to fare well in the next election.Pakatan enemies no longer comes from UMNO or the B.N. It is enemies within their own ranks that they should be concerned. UMNO is a spent force and will be consigned to the dustbin of history in the next election. It cannot reform itself and have now desperately use race and religious issues to boost their popularity. However with the advent of modern day cyber news, the people are now more sophisticated. For the last 50 years they have fooled the people but they forgot about the old saying that says you can fool the people some of the time but you cannot fool the people all of the time.
