Today I am not feeling all that well as I have a very bad cold which might be coupled with a viral infection. Mahathir gets a rest day from me, wakakaka.
Instead like to talk on the PKR party problems where some of its members are getting fed up with Azmin Ali's adamant slutting with PAS.

Instead like to talk on the PKR party problems where some of its members are getting fed up with Azmin Ali's adamant slutting with PAS.
Selayang MP William Leong Jee Keen has quit the PKR political bureau after the party leadership (which means Azmin Ali) said it will continue to try and work together with PAS to prevent three-cornered fights.
William disagreed with Azmin slutting, for two reasons, namely, PAS has already declared that they are working with UMNO, so WTF is Azmin up to, wakakaka.

William said that secondly, the ideological differences are too great a risk. Initially, PAS talked about promoting a welfare state but now they have gone back to their original position of introducing hudud and an Islamic theocratic state. It may be okay for Azmin but for non-Muslims I don't think those PKR members like to work with a hudud-bent PAS.
Meanwhile PKR parliamentary whip Johari Abdul said that if PKR wants to talk to PAS, then there should be a deadline, where it ought to be one or two weeks after Hari Raya Aidiladha, which falls on Sept 1.
Johari told Malaysiakini: "We can't keep on discussing things while at the same time our Pakatan Harapan friends are not sure whether we are firm on the coalition."
He said this when asked to comment about Selayang MP William Leong's decision to quit the PKR political bureau.
"But we gave a counter proposal saying this must come at a Harapan level, and not on an individual level (that of Azmin Ali).
"Harapan must know what our stand on the matter is."

Well said, Johari, Azmin's slutting with PAS seems to be a hush hush affair with everyone in Pakatan thinking Azmin must be keeping a cobra inside his house.
There have been other issues within PKR, one of which was a recent embargo of state financial aid which pissed off Wong Chen (Kelana Jaya MP). Then there is the internecine war between Azmin and Rafizi.

Some years back, wakakaka, in fact a dozen years ago I was invited by a Chinese towkay to join PKR. He promised me a prominent leadership position in the party. I suppose he must be one of those multimillionaire backers of Anwar. Anwar seems to have a number of these.
When I thanked him for his generosity and kind thoughts I explained I was already a DAP supporter. He pooh-poohed my confession, saying the DAP was far too Chinamen-ish and if I want a bright political future then PKR as a multiracial party would be the best for me.
I have to admit with Anwar around, PKR was more multiracial but since his working position as de facto leader has been taken over by Azmin, PKR has been seen in a more and more ketuanan Melayu pelt.
The only regret I have with sticking to DAP is LKS, wakakaka. But he is only one candidate and I hope he loses wherever he stands, wakakaka.
But I have never regretted NOT joining PKR. I would advise those who seek a better principled political party to leave PKR and join DAP as Dr Bari has done.
