Ezam vs Anwar, UMNO wins
I have written that all is not well with PKR. The situation just got worse. In politic, anything can happen. Enemies can become friends and friends can become enemies. Worse still, ‘brothers’ can also become enemies.
That’s what had happened to Ezam, Anwar and Azmin. Malaysiakini had just reported about Ezam’s quitting the party he had been so involved and committed, all for one cause.. Anwar Ibrahim. And today, Ezam decided that he has had enough and quit the same party, also for the same reason, Anwar Ibrahim.
The following quotes are courtesy of Malaysiakini.
Ezam told malaysiakini today that he had lost faith in the leadership, including in his mentor and the party’s de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim.
“I don’t see any sincerity among the party leadership to resolve the crisis in PKR. I no longer have trust in his (Anwar) sincerity to consolidate the party,” he said when contacted.
Ezam also accused Anwar of behaving like a “dictator” but described him as a “weak” leader. He also claimed that Anwar was being “controlled” by PKR vice-president Azmin Ali.
He also cited several incidents linked to the PKR’s party elections last month, where he claimed that Anwar had lent strong backing to Azmin at the expense of others.
Ezam and Azmin – who was Anwar’s former private secretary – had openly locked horns when Azmin had vied for deputy presidency while Ezam wanted the status quo to remain.
According to Ezam, the final blow for him was when Anwar allegedly instructed the Permatang Pauh division not to nominate any candidate for the No 2 post.
“Anwar is not firm. Why does he allow Azmin to behave in the same way as the prime minister (Abdullah Ahmad Badawi) allows KJ (his son-in-law Khairy Jamaluddin) to (allegedly) control him?”
While the drama within PKR is unfolding, there is no telling that the real beneficiary of these internal bickering within PKR is none other than BN and UMNO. Just perfect for the coming general election that many believe will be called anytime…. some even said as early as August. BN and UMNO will be having field days.

Everybody has the right to his or her oppinion and for Ezam too but if you look back at the beginning of UMNO party leaders like the Dato’ Onn, Tunku, Hussein era where senior leaders were not eyeing for the post but rather their deliverable. Giving ways to the right people, respecting the capable members as they know at the end of the day the country and the people of Malaysia shall gain or suffer. Lihat balik perjuangan asal UMNO, PAS, MCA, MIC, Perkemas dan banyak lagi party party lama. What has happen to UMNO and it’s component party will happen to PKR. The question is are serving the people or the party or the position or personal gains but be reminded being one of the person who started the party and as one of the top gun in PKR I believed the what ever problem related to the people will be heard but if Ezam highlighting his personal dissatisfaction I think you are in the wrong PARTY.
