can you take the UMNO out of PKR ?

It seems PKR has certainly stolen the lime-light throughout the past 2 weeks. Talk is rife of the party elections in shambles and vote rigging is the order of the day. We also find Zaid throwing in the towel and election commissioner Molly calling for a re-vote in some places.

What sickens me most is the deafening silence of the party president, Wan Azizah. Has she been told by her husband to play the "submissive wife" role ? For heaven's sake....she IS the president of PKR.....the party that has earned the wrath of almost all of civil society as nothing more then UMNO in a different packaging. And what happened to her daughter who also came out in a huff of contesting the No. 2 post ? Has she too been reprimanded by daddy for going against his chosen "horse", Azmin Ali ? Looks like it is "line-clear" now for this young, ambitious and perhaps "ruthless" up-start who has Anwar eating out of his hands literally !

You might want to ask..."what's so special about him", yes ? Zaid has lost his flavour with everyone with his resignation and his so called "attack" on Anwar and the "nyanuk" Syed Husin. And I don't see anything wrong in pointing out flaws that should be taken as constructive criticism. Only in UMNO and MIC and in general BN, such "attacks" are forbidden, but this is PKR....or is it still UMNO in a sheep's clothing ?

That folks is what has led many a blogger from the "civil society side" to steer clear off PKR and focus on more pressing issues that needs urgent addressing...... not re-runs of UMNO. We've seen plenty and stomached it for the past 53 years.

Very shameful state of affairs in the Opposition I would like to say, but hey, I am quickly reminded and won't forget the bigger "shit" of corrupt politics that is fast becoming a "biasa lah" thinggy in BN. That is what we must focus on even with all this distractions and still go for change........with or withour PKR. Can or not ?
