Pakatan Rakyat, listen …

While Raja Petra Kamarudin took the trouble to refute Abdul Kadir Jasin’s entry which put Zaid Ibrahim into very bad limelight, there is some messages in the article itself, in which I think is very applicable to some of the leaders in PR, especially within the PKR fraternity.

Zaid went to Sabah because many from amongst the opposition and civil society movements told him to go. One or two leaders at the top may have other ideas. But as far as the people, the voters, are concerned, you listen to us and not to the party leaders.

Let me make this clear. The dog wags the tail, not the tail wags the dog. Pakatan Rakyat must do what we say. We call the shots. The people are the boss.

If Pakatan Rakyat wants our support and our votes then they should listen to what we say. And we don’t want internal bickering, and inter-party and intra-party fighting.

Some Pakatan Rakyat leaders are acting like spoiled brats and immature school children. They allow petty things and their overblown egos stand in the way of the bigger picture.

Kadir Jasin may not know this, but it was we, the voters, who sent Zaid a very strong message. And the message was if he does not go to Sabah then we are going to kick his arse. My wife, in fact, told Zaid: don’t fuck with us. You do that and we are going to whack you.

Zaid had no choice. It is not what the PKR leadership wants that counts. It is what we, the voters want that matters. And we wanted him to go to Sabah.

For PR to continue with the in-fighting, or even with the party leaders within the PR coalition continues to put up shameless episodes like what’s transpiring within MCA itself recently, we, the rakyat, their real political masters must vote them off too!

The result in Bagan Pinang by-election is the first wake up call and we can’t afford to pay for the price of losing another one, as by now, they must be smart enough to be aware that as soon as the BN regains its momentum, that would be the time when the rakyat decided that’s it for the PR coalition, directly kills off any hope of a new ideal Malaysia many of us dream of.

I certainly do not hope that would be the case but there’s always high expectation from the ground, any little hiccup along the way might jeopardize the larger mission in place, hence, it’s high time for all the PR coalition parties to set aside the difference and remains focus on the common agenda, which is the Common Policy Framework (CPF) and working together towards one, and the only mission – to capture the Putrajaya flag.
