Ezam Dared

Since DSAI has announced that he will be standing in Permatang Pauh to mark his entry into the parliament the next question is who will stand against him? One of the obvious candidates seem to be former PKR member Ezam Mohd Noor.

Excerpts from the star :

PKR is challenging its former Youth chief Ezam Mohd Nor to stand against Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in the Permatang Pauh by-election.

“We hope Umno will let Ezam to take on Anwar in the by-election.

“Let him come and contest if he dares because this is what the PKR wants,” said Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, a supreme council member and Selangor state liaison chief after a tea session with the media Thursday.

Ezam has put him self in the shooting line when DSAI first indicated that he might be going for the Kulim seat. Since its now confirmed that DSAI will be standing at Permatang Pauh will he put him self up for the seat as well?

I personally think it be interesting to see him go against his former role model. Gut feeling tells me that it might not happen if UMNO toke Ezam seriously. It be just another bad attempt of publicity and nothing more. The people are not too interested in the drama mambo-jambo but more interested in a leader who can make a genuine change.

DSAI has been in the dark for too long and its only fair that he is given a crack at it. Ezam should stick with UMNO to do what he first claimed to set out to do, fight corruption and reform of UMNO. Maybe Dato Samy Vellu should stand at Permatang Pauh, since he is re-branded and all that :)

Anwar to contest at Permatang Pauh – Press Conference

Anwar Ibrahim announced today that he will contest a by-election for the Permatang Pauh parliamentary seat which will be vacated by his wife and PKR leader Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

DATUK SERI WAN AZIZAH WAN ISMAIL QUITS!

— PRESS STATEMENT  —
31 JULY 2008, PETALING JAYA, MALAYSIA

After deliberating with my family, the Keadilan party leadership and our partners in the Pakatan Rakyat, I have officially submitted my resignation as Member of Parliament of Permatang Pauh to the Speaker of Parliament YB Tan Sri Datuk Pandikar Amin Bin Hj. Mulia today to make way for my husband, Anwar Ibrahim, to contest as a candidate for Pakatan Rakyat in a by-election as soon as possible.

This is consistent with our goals towards securing a Parliamentary majority and forming a new government within this year.

This decision is the right decision for Malaysia.

The nation now faces some of the greatest challenges it has encountered since gaining independence. The UMNO-led Barisan Nasional government has mismanaged the economy and steered the nation towards a catastrophe. It has allowed the integrity of the justice system to fall into deeper infamy. It has stroked the flames of racism and driven a wedge of mistrust between Malays, Chinese and Indians, while thoroughly neglecting the needs of the indigenous peoples of
Sabah and Sarawak.

Anwar Ibrahim has articulated a vision for Malaysia that has brought hope to the people. He has the experience and intelligence to reinvigorate our economy, and the charisma and integrity to unite the Malaysian people and restore credibility to our institutions of governance.

I will continue to serve as president of Parti Keadilan Rakyat and as chairperson of the Yayasan Aman (Peace Foundation).

I whole-heartedly thank my supporters in Permatang Pauh who have stood by me in the most difficult of times since September 1998 and have shared in the joy of victory we all experienced on March 8th. The future of our nation lies in the dedication and commitment to justice and freedom that I have experienced as your representative in Parliament and I look forward to many more years of serving you with sincerity and with humility.

DATUK SERI WAN AZIZAH WAN ISMAIL
President Parti Keadilan Rakyat
