Saiful’s Dad can offer Nothing to PKR

Mercenary, turncoat, scum, spin doctor, fiction writer, UMNO mole! Even as I am being called these names, Saiful Bukhari Azlan’s father, Azlan Mohd Lazim, joins PKR a day after insisting that his son was being used by several unscrupulous people, including a special officer to the PM, to fabricate lies against the de facto leader of PKR, Anwar Ibrahim.

Now which part of S.T.U.P.I.D does PKR not understand?First PKR has Johari Abdul facilitating the press conference where Saiful’s father announced that his son was being manipulated by the other side.

The very next day, the same Johari Abdul is there again when Saiful’s father announced that he is joining PKR. Now who is this Johari Abdul? He is the PKR Member of Parliament for Sungai Petani with a Master Degree in Strategic Studies.

Simple rule of thumb for PKR in any future expose: if you want the  Malaysian public to believe that Saiful’s father did all that he did on his own volition, then do not have Johari or any PKR operatives near him when he makes the announcement.

Better still, make sure no PKR operatives are even in the same room, same building, same locality. Why? Because when you do that, then right thinking Malaysians may believe that Saiful’s father is doing it all on his own convictions.

Then if he does want to join PKR, please  give a decent interval between that announcement and having a photo opportunity for Johari Abdul so that the Malaysian public may be persuaded that his joining PKR has got nothing to do with him calling his son a liar who is being manipulated by unscrupulous men connected to Najib.

But this Johari does not seem to have the ability to understand these simple niceties, and he has a Masters in Strategic Studies? Some of you cannot see beyond the tip of your nose, what more the ability to follow the chain of events of why and how things happen in this sandiwara and odious drama that passes for politics in our country.

Ignorance I can understand, but stupidity I cannot tolerate. For me Najib Tun Razak, UMNO and all that are remotely within its sphere of toxicity are a lost cause. So I would prefer to work on what is not yet a lost cause in as far as I am concerned.

Pakatan Rakyat, PKR and Anwar Ibrahim are not a lost cause yet! They potentially can be the future we aspire to. They can potentially be the government we need in Putrajaya. They are our hope for change, but only if they are deserving of our trust and worthy of being leaders capable of good governance.

We are not imbeciles

You ask me if I have something against Anwar? Yes I do! He had the opportunity of being PM once – he was just a step away from it happening. All it would have taken for him to be Prime Minister then would not even be 10 % of the effort he has put in the last nine years to get where he is today.

Now again he has been give this opportunity to be the PM designate if Pakatan Rakyat wins government in this 13th general election  – and is he once again going to shot himself in the foot? Of course I am angry! How many politicians have a shot at the PM seat even once? Only Anwar had – and is he going to screw it up again?

And why am I angry? Simply this – I have been blogging for the past three years and all this time I have worked on my blog for Anything But UMNO (ABU). By default Anwar will lead Pakatan into the 13th general election to make ABU a reality because no one else, at this point of time, can do it better.

I am but one of the many thousands of people who have done work for ABU, for Pakatan Rakyat and for Anwar to be the change we want through what I write. However small my contribution has been, it has been work I have done because we have no other choice but Pakatan if we want a new beginning.

And then we see the late P Balasubramaniam, Deepak Jaikishan and this Father of Saiful being put to the fore by PKR, by Anwar to be used by PKR and Anwar as a battering ram against Najib and UMNO. To me this is not acceptable. The events of these last few days have already thrown a spanner into whatever PKR has planned for these questionable characters.

We are not imbeciles, we are not stupid and most certainly we are not going to put up with this kind of politics. If PKR and Anwar insist that there is no other way to win government from BN, then maybe we need to consider if their government is the government we want in Putrajaya.

In closing may I quote what Saravanan Sara commented on what I wrote:

“Semua yang U Turn ini mana boleh pecaya, Dulu cakap satu, sekarang cakap lain. Credibilty mereka ini tak boleh pecaya walaupun di kawasan UMNO atau PKR. Apakah tujuan sebenar mereka ini sanggup gadai maruah keluarga dan negara sebagai seorang Rakyat Malaysia. Yang cakap bukan buta huruf, semua ada pelajaran dan tahu keadaan negara ini jadi apa yang dorong mereka wang!”I rest my case.
