This is no laughing number

PKR claimed it has 400,000 members. I don’t see the number nor have hear such figures from the people who are supposed to be members or working for PKR.

Even from last year’s Hari Raya gatherings and many other seminars I have mentioned that there was lack of supporters and Anwar was not blind nor deaf to my many remarks.

PKR is definitely mismanaged by the very people who are supposed to be close to Anwar. Azmin Ali is not someone you can trust to build up PKR unless he is given the President post. One must understand that Azmin Ali is Mahathir’s nephew. Mahathir had been supporting Azmin Ali and his family financially since he became the Prime Minister of Malaysia. Azmin Ali was already a millionaire in 1984 when he was still studying. Azmin can be considered a Trojan chosen by Mahathir to be close to Anwar. Even today Azmin still have to report to Mahathir however small an issue concerning PKR. That is how Mahathir stay ahead of the game. To control Najib, Mahathir will use Azmin soon, then we can see how a by gone leader uses his steering wheel to the fullest.

Back to the 400,000 so called members. On many occasions in late 2009 and this year I was presence when certain leaders from Selangor were looking for people who had signed up as members in 1999 and 2004. They have lists of names but these so-called members could not be found at the addresses given nor could they be contacted. For example if the list has 25 names only 2 could be contacted, the rest was not traceable. Then for seminars or meetings I was contacted to tag along and if possible bring a couple of friends to show support. No need to be members. Every occasion I decline simply because certain leaders in PKR are no better than my contacts in UMNO. Since these creatures are from the same basket, no need to be buddy with them. Even for the by-elections I refused to talk to these so-called leaders when we were sharing the same house.

Had PKR make an effort to register their members and given them a card then, I believe the number 400,000 is realistic today. Many members have complain about the sloppy work inside PKR headquarter till most of them have given up hope of becoming a member or wanting to help the party. Instead today they are freedom fighters waiting for the right person to lead them again.

I truly believe that if the right person can be found and is willing to sacrifice his life to lead the alliance to contest against UMNO (BN) and forget about PKR, this country can be save. Otherwise we are doom. It is not because UMNO has changed which is impossible given that Rosmah is a glutton for power. But people are fed-up of Anwar and Azmin Ali. PKR should not be about Anwar alone but a party that is strong in leadership, humble, willing to listen and work for the country.
