Yesterday, PKR deputy president aspirant Jenapala Perumal Subaan held a press conference whereat he made some very scathing remarks and accusations about the ongoing party divisional elections.
Zorro has carried the full text of Jenapala’s press statement which you can read HERE.
Party Sec-Gen Saifudin Nasution respended swiftly yesterday with a press release that stated in no uncertain terms that Jenapala had been sacked from the party in February, 2009 and had consequently no standing to contest in the ongoing party elections. The statement went on to refute the allegations by Jenapala as baseless.
Anwar’s blog carries the full text of the statement issued by Saifudin which you can read HERE.
Jenapala today has issued another statement, directed at Saifudin : “I am giving him 24 hours to provide the documentary proof to back the claim that I was sacked in February 2009. If Saifuddin does not respond within the stipulated time frame, then I would file a report with the Registrar of Societies and sue these leaders for defamation”.
I spoke to Saifudin a little while ago, whilst earlier this morning, I spoke to Jenapala and another PKR insider who would definitely be in the know as to the goings-on in the party at the material time.
Jenapala confirmed that he had never received any show cause notice from the party, nor was called to attend any disciplinary committee inquiry. He said that to-date, he has not received any formal notification of any decision by the party supreme council of his sacking and his right to appeal any such decision.
“If I was sacked in February, 2009 as they now claim, why would I join Dato Seri Anwar and campaign in the Hulu Selangor by-elections last April?” , Jenapala asked.
The party insider who spoke to me earlier today confirms Jenapala’s claims.
“Salleh ( the former party Sec-Gen ) would be able to confirm whether any disciplinary proceedings were commenced, but I am very certain there has not been any decision of the supreme council in February, 2009 or before, to sack Jenapala. Something is not right. Saifudin better check his facts”, the person said.
Saifudin informed me that when he checked the records at party HQ yesterday, he came upon a letter issued from HQ to Jenapala of and concerning the latter”s sacking from the party.
I asked who had signed the letter.
Saifudin said that he could not recall and that he would be re-checking to ascertain that fact.
I told Saifudin that Jenapala claims that he never received any show cause notice and that no disciplinary proceedings had been taken against him.
Saifudin confirmed that he would be looking into this.
Would he be responding to Jenapala, I asked.
“Yes”, Saifudin confirmed.

Bro Haris,
It’s party time for these dumbasses.
From what you relate…it appears both are smoking weeds man !
And the smoke is already getting obnoxious,
It sure appears that they have smoked good shit man !
Cheers RastamanJB.

Frankly, I don’t foresee any future in PKR. Most of them still trap in Umno yesteryears mentality. Zaid is rocking at the wrong boat if he is really sincere to help a nation in a quagmire.

I know many of you may think that Anwar is a reformed man, but from what I gather he is still the same leopard.
his Umno days were filled with threats to opponents and also newspaper editors, his schenaigans are world famous
I never saw him as saviour of anything but himself
Mahathir may have pushed through the sacking rather hastily but I maintain it was the right decision
Sure it is coming back to bite Umno now but it saved the nation of at least a decade of Anwar’s tyranny
The man is crazy for power not because he has any clear vision for the country but for the sake of power
Whatever Mahathir’s fault his vision was clear, bring the country to a more physically-developed status and that he delivered,

Shamsul,
I fully agree with you.
The more I read about the tengkah-laku about Anwar and Azmin, the more I see what you have described about Anwar. Anwar is like a mad bull……charging aimlessly in the hope to reach Putrajaya.
Azmin is his shadow, equally power crazy.
Zaid, I suka…..he has proven himself to be on the Rakyat’s side. Otherwise, he wouldnt’ have quit as the Law Minister.
It is better for Anwar to be locked up.
I hope Zaid is the future PM.

Bro. Harris …your blog has been bought over by UMNO???Similiar to Rockys Bru???
Jojo Man
September 21, 2010
Nope. Rocky’s Bru –> definitely been bought over.
Haris is exercising healthy skepticism.
Anwar Ibrahim is a breath of fresh air for us, for his effort in forming Pakatan Rakyat.
But no man is perfect.
They can still do things that may not be democratic.
Such as his support for Azmin Ali and all the shenanigans going on in the nominations for the PKR deputy presidency post.
I support the goals that Anwar has often reiterated. But I might not support Anwar the man.
We support the end goal for Malaysia. Not any individual.
Get it?
Jojo Man,
Thanks, bro.
I promised you all I’d play the role of watchdog, and I will.
I’ll continue to watch both sides of the divide.

Saifudin should take lesson from Tan kok wai of dap on how easy it is to sack a party member even on no valid ground[see Justice for TBH2]
Why is this happening now?It is God’s script to expose the hypocracy of pr leaders and may be a signal to man like Haris to jumpstart the call within.
In a short interval[several]months,the truth will surface and let this posting register this ‘knowledge’

With the goings-on in PKR, I think it will become another mono-ethnic political party in the nearest future. Watch Azmin’s moves closely. I predict GE13 will go BN way.

Pathetic.
Are these the vision-less future leaders, who we the Ra’ayat are going to entrust with power to look after our well-being and interests?
Are these the ones who claim that they are fit to sit as our future Government in Putra Jaya?
Are these the ones that are going to get power FROM the people to dispense it honestly and truly FOR the people?
With this kind of in-fighting and moral disarray, many potential future voters are getting sick with disgust.
To hell with your kind of nonsense PKR…you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.
You can’t exist without us….THE PEOPLE.

I wonder if PKR is A party for the People or THE party for Anwar-Azmin. This needs to be answered, for only then do we know whether we should waste time taking an interest in it or not.
If PKR is the former, then there’s only 1 problem in it, and that’s a personality cult which needs to be removed so that the party can grow democratically. For if it’s the former, we all have an interest in it as one of the governing parties in the next goverment.
If PKR is the latter, we should all not waste anymore time to comment on it and save the space for other more meaningful discussions.

I am totally dissapointed with the choice of words used by Zaid Ibrahim to refuting Dr Syed Husin’s criticism. Calling his own leader as “nyayuk” is indeed uncalled for. Zaid should rightfully be reprimanded for it. When Zaid felt that Dr Syed Husin did not fully acknowledge his contribution towards the Common Policy Framework, Zaid should simply reiterate his contribution and simply let the members and the rakyat at large be the judge. To attack Dr Syed Husin as ‘nyayuk” is below the belt.

I have to agree with you on this one. M all for Zaid but he’s human too. I honestly think he shouldn’t have used the word “nyanyuk” on an elderly senior party leader. It has become personal now.
He should have shown more grace at least because of Syed Husin is elderliness if not because of his seniority. It looks bad on him now as being seen as disrespectful for an elderly man.
He kinda remind me of TDM who always goes tit for tat at any criticism – big or small.

Ok so he said he didn’t use the word nyanyuk but nyanyu. Good enough. I believe him.
My apology for jumping the gun and believing the media’s misquotation.
Sang Kancil Guru

Actually, I think we should call a spade a spade. Syed Husin Ali has demonstrated his ‘nyanyukness’ when it is convenient for him, once when Syed Husin was nyanyuk about the PKR Sabah peace deal that he insisted on punishing 12 PKR Sabah leaders who were aligned to the PKR VP Jeffrey Kitingan. The 2nd time Syed Husin demonstrated his nyanyukness is now belittling Zaid’s contribution.
This is getting too much by Syed Husin Ali. For being the so-called Deputy President of Keadilan, he certain is langsung TIDAK ADIL. He practices double standards, treating PKR VP Jeffrey and Datuk Zaid with hostility, while treating an equivalent PKR VP Azmin Ali with kid gloves.
Clearly, Syed Husin is not impartial in this matter.
