Retaining Zulklifli Nordin in PKR is not an option.

I sometimes wonder how a maverick character like Zulklifli Nordin could ever be elected to be a wakil rakyat. But then the march 8th election was an election that was perhaps an exception. The voters were literally put off with the flip flop Badawi and as they say, even a cow contesting against a B.N candidate would walk away the winner.Looking at his contributions so far one would think that he was a B.N wakil Rakyat rather than a Pakatan Rakyat man.

He acts and behaves as if he is not bound by any common policy and philosophy espoused by the PKR manifesto.He directs most of his vocal criticisms at Pakatan policies rather than at B.N's continued harrassment of Pakatan members in the Selangor State Assembly. At times I wonder whether he is an UMNO man planted to sabotage PKR's govt in Selangor.

His latest antic to challenge Sivarasa for the V.P post is a joke which only an eccentric can induce.He is not even aware that if he were to contest against a nobody in his constituent he would probably lose his deposit.If only he had spent some time reading comments about his antics and behaviour he would be surprised to find how villified he is in blogosphere.

What perhaps surprise me even more is the reluctance of the PKR leadership to discipline this maverick politician who have caused considerable damage to the PKR's image and political future. PKR's leadership must lobbed off the gangrene limb before it poison the whole body. Allowing this maverick politician to continue with his erratic behaviour is an option PKR leadership cannot afford to choose.
