FREEDOM OF SPEECH

‘Warning is for people like Zulkifli’

By IZATUN SHARI

PETALING JAYA: PKR leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s warning to party members to leave and join Umno is aimed at people like Zulkifli Noordin, whose actions are not in line with party policies.
PKR vice-president Sivarasa Rasiah said Anwar’s remark was also meant for party leaders who were squabbling publicly to be more disciplined and settle their disagreements internally.
“For instance, Zulkifli attempted to table several motions in Parliament which were not in line with party policies and without consulting party leadership,” he said.

Wonder why Zulkifli and others in the fragile Opposition pact of PAS, DAP & PKR are staying put despite Anwar Ibrahim's tyranny. Zulkifli's open criticism against Pas' religious bigotry seems to have touched the raw nerves in PKR, more than the pain felt by the Pas leadership.

So far Hadi has not demanded his party leaders to quit or join Umno for opposing his views. The only other 'advisor' who embraced a similar tone was Nik Aziz.

Nik Aziz wanted Pas deputy president Nasharuddin Isa to 'quit or join Umno' recently over the unity talks.

Wonder why its 'QUIT & JOIN UMNO'?

Zulkifli and a few others are simply fed-up with Anwar's antics and might just call it a day soon.

p/s Counting the days and the exact number of the many Zulkifli's in PKR and PAS. The ones in DAP are staying put because leaders like Karpal Singh and Tan Seng Giaw still exist amidst them. The Lim dynasty, some DAP leaders from the south say, has got too big to be contained.
