“Form Anwar-Tian Chua-Azmin pact”: Zaid’s sarcasm triggers memories of betrayal

AS PKR was seen cozying up to the Melaka quartet, many quarters criticised the party for putting itself in harms way by getting too close to ‘frogs’ who dislodged the state government.

PKR vice president Tian Chua even said, two days ago, that Pakatan Harapan should be open to working with anyone who will be able to help them win the state polls.

“Tactically, we must join with anyone that can give Pakatan victory. It is a tactic we must consider by any means to win the most seats,” the former Batu MP was reported saying.

Earlier today, former Law Minister Datuk Zaid Ibrahim said in a jest that PKR should consider forming a pact with its president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Tian Chua and former party deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali and test their popularity in the upcoming state polls.

However, several netizens were unable to detect the sarcasm-laced message and started to denounce it altogether.

Two days ago, the Pakatan presidential council decided that it will not accept Pengkalan Batu assemblyperson Datuk Norhizam Hassan Baktee as their candidate in the upcoming Melaka state election.

On the other three; Sungai Udang state assemblyperson Datuk Seri Idris Haron, Pantai Kundur assemblyperson Datuk Nor Azman Hassan and Telok Mas assemblyperson Noor Effandi Ahmad, the Opposition pact said that they have yet to decide on them and was awaiting their formal application.

Boot out “cancerous” Tian Chua

It is to note that Effandi and Norhizam caused the 2018-minted Pakatan Melaka state government to fall last year, with the latter even featured in a footage calling his former DAP colleagues “pigs” several times during an assembly sitting.

On that note, user Krishna Singh said that Pakatan should never work with Azmin, who was one of the key people instrumental in ousting Pakatan from Putrajaya.

On a related matter, user Adrian Tan sensed Zaid’s sarcasm and reminded netizens that the veteran leader was in fact, warning people against the idea of prioritising victory over principles. – Oct 23, 2021
