It makes me boil. I don't get it. These people are supposedly leaders and we are supposed to look up to them. But don't they understand the concept of unity? Also, can't they be more creative if they want people to believe them? Sigh...
Tell me about it, you are not the only one fed up with things...
Today Malaysiakini reported a startling "revelation" about Po Kuan. Apparently, a member of DAP alleged that Po Kuan hatched an elaborated ploy to allow her to exit while pushing for Mr Thomas Su to be her successor. Apparently, Mr Cheong Peng Choon claim that Po Kuan wanted Mr Su to be her successor but Perak DAP leadership will have none of it hence she has to go through miles i.e. do a dramatic 11th hour exit to force Mr Su down their throats to be her chosen candidate for Batu Gajah.
Honestly, am I shocked? Of course. Do Mr Cheong really think any intelligent person will believe him? What evidence has he to offer to begin with? Given there is none on offer here, I have a few things to ask.
1) What is in it for Po Kuan to push for Mr Su?
As far as I look at it, any politician would want to push for their own agendas. But in doing so, they want to get something out of it. In the case of Po Kuan, what is her agenda to push for Mr Su? If it is because she wants to quit, then why is she going through all the hassle to find a successor?
2) If Mr Cheong implying Po Kuan is stubborn and selfish then since she wants things her way?
Pray tell why then Po Kuan be bothered to recontest? According to Mr Cheong:
her plan had backfired as she and the party were receiving a lot of negative publicity.
But if she is selfish and all she wanted is to quit, why would she be bothered about negative publicity? Why would she want to save her party by recontesting? Isn't her original aim is to quit?
After saying much about the internal fracas, he went on to complain that it is because of Po Kuan he can't contest because she has upset the Perak DAP lineup. Apparently, he was slated to contest in the Tronoh state seat until she upsets everything by opting to recontest.
Question: Isn't it in Perak DAP interest to convince Po Kuan to recontest? By that statement, one would rationally understand who has priority on the candidates list. So wouldn't it be reasonable to assume Perak DAP has prepared a proper line up with her in mind and a contingency plan in case she is firm with her decision to not recontest? Also, didn't Mr Ngeh himself who said he supported Po Kuan to be a candidate for Batu Gajah? So why is Mr Cheong complaining as though he has more right to get nominated than Po Kuan?
Ultimately, I may not get satisfactory answers but like I said before, why should I be bothered about internal party fracas if Po Kuan delivers as a Member of Parliament? Also, can't these leaders understand that it is the rakyat who decides who to represent them in Parliament? They can offer choices but ultimately it is the rakyat who decide.
Unlike some pretender who dreams of unseating Teresa Kok, Po Kuan is the real deal when she contested in her twenties in hope to bring changes to this country. She spoke up for the rakyat, served her constituency well and fought for our rights. That to me is better than many Lassie wannabes who just obediently tow the command of their masters.
It is good Po Kuan decided not to speak to Malaysiakini to defend herself. In my opinion, she does not need to explain about her family affairs. As long as she knows what is at stake and fulfill her destiny to serve the rakyat in honesty, equality and justice, who cares about a sore loser making noise for not being made a candidate?
