PKR Penang : Dearth of state leaders...

Critisizing is easy. What more badmouthing others. But as they say, what goes around, comes around...

Since Mohammad Fairus Khairuddin resigned from his post as Penang DCM 1 on April 8, Anwar Ibrahim is still looking for his replacement. The generosity of Lim GE to give DCM 1 post to PKR may proved too much for Anwar when PKR has limited choice for the post.

Under Penang DAP-PKR understanding, 3 EXCO seats are reserved for PKR and they are filled by Abdul Malik, Law Choo Kiang and Fairus. And since Fairus has stepped down from his EXCO and DCM 1post, the vacancy shall be filled by another PKR state leader, which most probably be given to Maktar Shapee.

Now, from the 3 EXCOs', Anwar has to propose one as Penang DCM 1. This is where the headache starts. Who shall it be? In terms of seniority in state service, both Abdul Malik and Law will have the edge over Maktar, but Anwar may have other criteria for Penang DCM 1...

So now its Anwar's turn to sweat a little as the vacancy should be filled and Lim GE has indicated that the DCM shall be named by 15th April..and that has passed with Anwar failing to meet the dateline.

No doubt, the state administration can still function without DCM 1 but politically it shows that Anwar, and for that matters PKR, is not ready to lead the state much less the nation. If Anwar cannot brings out the best of PKR to be Penang DCM 1, then what has he got at federal level?

Are there too much lobbying for the post? Or has Anwar finally realise that PKR gros too big too fast that PKR do not have leaders at all layers? Will Anwar be blaming others for his own shortfall? Or will he offer the carrot to UMNO representatives in Penang DUN? With Anwar, everything is possible, as long as it satisfy his needs...

It is time for Anwar to learn that critisizing is easy, badmouthing is easier, giving excuses is the easiest...but when it comes to make decisions, it is a tough nut to crack...and it is also time for Anwar to dispense with all his theories because apparently he is failing in his first practical exam - that of choosing Penang DCM 1.

Till then...G'nite M'sia...wherever u are...
