Azmin between a rock and a hard place

YOUR OPINION | Yesterday it was Anwar, then Mahathir and now Muhyiddin. Who is the next one?’

Azmin says ‘more comfortable’ with Umno, PAS than with Anwar

Kim Quek: Former PKR leader Azmin Ali’s absurd rationalization of his betrayal of his former boss Anwar Ibrahim, his former party and Pakatan Harapan, has only further enhanced his image as a self-centered, deceptive and traitorous politician who would pose an unacceptable risk to anyone. . political party with which you can try to associate.

It is for this reason that Umno would not touch him with a 10 foot pole and yet he has the gall to say that he is comfortable working with Umno.

In hindsight, it may be a blessing in disguise that it has been downloaded to Perikatan Nasional (PN), where it is now a hot potato.

Siva1967: Dear Azmin, you have not been able to understand how you got to where you are. It was Keadilan’s cause that he embraced when he decided to join the Reformasi movement.

For years, you had been a loyal lieutenant to both Anwar and Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

After GE14, for reasons known only to the then Prime Minister, Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, he appointed him cabinet minister knowing full well that he was the interim MB in Selangor when he was already sworn in after winning the most seats in the Assembly Selangor State.

The federal power and its new “mentorship” had somehow removed it from the original reform agenda.

Weren’t you the one who pushed insistently for Mahathir to serve the full term as prime minister when you were clearly aware of the Harapan agreement for a transition of power, although no date was set?

We were once very proud that, should Anwar fall or become incapacitated, we will have to move forward with the reform agenda. You did very well as Selangor’s MB. His holistic approach was an act for any aspiring MP, MB or PM to follow.

That, I think, you owe to your education at Gombak and to the circle of friends at Setapak High. As a Setapakian, we know how the bond is within us, regardless of race, religion, or the color of our skin.

But you reneged and now you are trying to ‘menegakkan benang yang basah’. You can speak ill of Anwar and his dream of becoming a PM. There is nothing wrong with you yearning to be. In fact, it would be a great PM.

You too had the potential to become PM one day, in fact you might have been DPM in Anwar’s cabinet if you hadn’t done the Si Kitol act.

Now he’s relying on Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to “pick him up” after a fall and a big gamble by working with the same people he has fought for so long: Umno.

Muhyiddin himself is walking on thin ice and the two of you didn’t think hard enough before taking the Sheraton Move. Now the whole country is held back by unscrupulous politicians and they have an advantage over you and Muhyiddin.

You and Muhyiddin basically gave the country back to the very thieves that we had fought to save it from.

IndigoTrout2522: Azmin is without a doubt the biggest culprit of all within Harapan. He was so hungry for power that he would do anything even to overthrow the Harapan government. Yesterday it was Anwar, then Mahathir, now Muhyiddin. Who is the next one?

All he cares about is himself and his ambition. When the time is right, he will walk away from Muhyiddin because he will not be satisfied until he gets the PM position. He’s always ready to betray anyone who gets in his way.

Remember how you betrayed Azizah to become Selangor MB and how you wanted to keep PAS within the state government.

He went on to say that Anwar wanted to be PM, conveniently without mentioning that it was part of the GE14 deal between Harapan. The point is, if Anwar becomes prime minister, Azmin would have nowhere to go. Anwar’s successor would not be him.

So, he had to do the Sheraton Move. I still wonder if Umno would allow him to compete in Gombak. Of course, PAS leader Abdul Hadi Awang will bail him out with a seat in Kelantan.

Undecided: The fact that Azmin is more comfortable with the leaders of Umno and PAS shows how much he has deviated from the PKR vision of providing justice for all.

It shouldn’t be about being comfortable with your own leader, but more about what PKR stands for and how difficult it was for the opposition to eventually beat BN at GE14.

Azmin’s taste for power as MB of Selangor and his subsequent appointment as Minister of Economic Affairs have made him too ambitious to the point that he was even willing to betray his own party and the rakyat to achieve his own ambition, upsetting everyone. reform plans with such force. he needed to get Malaysia back on the right track.

Just a Malaysian: Azmin, you sold us the idea of ​​reformasi and the need to fight to bring about changes in the government and we believed you.

Do you mean that you discarded all ideals and helped bring back the corrupt government that you fought for 20 years just because you were uncomfortable with Anwar?

Azmin, you are not a statesman. You are just a political opportunist.

Goliath: We tell our children what it really means to be principled. Who is one person you will trust and respect to be in government to lead this country?

In more than 20 years, he led a cause and belief that Umno is a corrupt party with corrupt leaders and PAS is an extremist party that will destroy this multiracial country.

The rakyat has gone through much pain and suffering to vote for you and your traitorous friends to form the government of Harapan.

And your move to form this PN coalition with criminals and corrupt individuals is not only unacceptable, it is frankly worse than a scum of scum. Where is your honesty, integrity and loyalty?

Gerard Lourdesamy: Last I heard, Umno is very uncomfortable with Azmin. As for PAS, they are equally suspicious. So Azmin has to sink or swim with Muhyiddin. Most likely it will sink and disappear after GE15.

GrayPanda9123: Azmin, it’s not about you. It must be about what your constituents want. They put you there, so what they want is what matters. We will show it to you in the next GE.

Bobby0: Say what you want, Azmin. The truth will be known in GE15 about whether PAS and Umno support it.

It is not the leaders who decide, but the people. Harapan supporters will reject you and how many of the Umno and PAS rank and file will agree to your candidacy will be known in due course.

Enjoy these few months in office.
