PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s big revelation that his party will use its own logo during the upcoming Sabah state election has set tongues wagging, some claiming that he is not on good terms with the DAP.
According to a well-placed source, Anwar’s decision was an apparent protest against WARISAN’s support for Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and the DAP’s willingness to consider Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal as Prime Minister candidate.
“Yes, it is tradition and there will always be negotiations to reach a consensus for Keadilan to field our candidates,” he reportedly told newsmen at an event in Port Dickson.
But tradition may really have nothing to do with it.
Truth is, massive ‘Grand Canyon’ sized cracks began to emerge in PKR the minute Anwar embarked on a witch hunt to sack anyone seen allied with former party deputy president Datuk Seri Azmin Ali.
The hunt gave rise to a snowball effect when thousands of PKR leaders and grassroots members began leaving en masse after losing confidence in Anwar’s leadership.
Anwar’s inability to control his own party damaged his credibility considerably among political leaders who began to question his ability to lead a coalition towards the 15thgeneral election.
Many also began to doubt his capacity to command the same level of support he commanded from the rakyat prior to his pardoning by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
This lack of confidence is among the many reasons 10 PKR Members of Parliament are currently allied with Mahathir’s “Third Force Independent Bloc” and are awaiting the right moment to jump ship.
Both the DAP and AMANAH have also been campaigning day and night for Parti Pejuang Tanah Air’s candidate in Slim, suggesting that the two parties have given up trying to reason with Anwar.
It has fuelled rumours that many in the DAP and AMANAH are not happy with the PKR president’s willingness to negotiate terms with Perikatan Nasional.
One version has it that Anwar was in cahoots with former Sabah Chief Minister Tan Sri Musa Aman, Muhyiddin’s ally, who attempted to take over the Sabah state government by staging a coup.
According to this version, Anwar asked former PKR assemblyman Kenny Chua Teck Ho to hop over to Musa’s camp to help Musa cripple the Shafie led state government.
It is said that Anwar did this to ‘teach’ Shafie a lesson for supporting Mahathir.
True or not, Musa’s attempt fell flat on its face when Shafie quickly advised the Yang Dipertua Negeri to dissolve the state assembly, paving the way for a state-wide election.
According to proponents of this theory, Anwar deliberately ‘sacked’ Kenny thereafter as damage control to avoid the DAP and AMANAH from accusing him of colluding with Musa.
But many are convinced that he did, and his decision to use the PKR logo despite suggestions that everyone in the opposition uses one logo says it all.
It is said that Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, fearful that the federal government will collapse, has entered into an agreement with Anwar to allow PKR Members of Parliament into Perikatan Nasional should PAS and UMNO Team B suddenly decide to leave.
However, should that happen, Anwar would never be able to compensate for the ‘mass exodus’ as those still loyal to him in PKR are said to number less than 20.
