DESI, DESI, WHY SO PRISSY?

Into my second, last night, at the Fisherman’s Art (Hawkeye) suddenly pooped this question: Did you read you good friend’s posting at Malaysian Chronicle? MC is not on my must read list but I was curious to know who this good friend was? It was then that we got news that Merchant Square announced that Nurul qualified to stand as Deputy President. A few fast shots ensued and I was not interested to know who this good friend of mine was…..not when Desmond plonked a bottle of Cardon Bleu to the delight of all.

Over brunch I googled Malaysian Chronicle and came upon “BLOGGERS FOR NURUL – Who Art Thou” by YLChong, aka Desi as in Desiderata2000…..my friend, who have always had a cheeky twist to his writings. But this piece was not cheeky….not even tongue-in-cheek. Dang, Desi…you are going places yah….from CPI, to FMT and now MC!

YLChong began thus:

When I received a text message via my HP yesterday reading thus: "Your resonse to BLOGGERS FOR NURUL?" from someone obviously interested in PKR politics, I replied: "Need backgd.4gOod cause, Yes, anytime, YL"

Wow, Desi! I have suddenly become “someone”. I really have no objection to you naming me. You know me. I have always been forward like I said I will not be associated with BUM 3, BUM 4 and the next BUM! And by the way, you have been a PKR member since 2005(?) and you still need background?

Today I traversed blogosphere, and spied one of the campaigners' websites: As the name implies, it's a movement to urge MP for Pantai Nurul Izzah to go for the PKR deputy president's post.

I put your blog in the invitation list and you need not have to spy around….if only you had visited my blog. I know you don’t and that was why I texted you. Movement? You getting morbid old chap?

YL also made these observations:

Two questions swiftly came to mind:

(1) Are these bloggers even card-carrying members in Parti Keadilan Rakyat?

(2) And if Nurul has herself NOT COME OUT OPENLY to say that she's interested in serving as number two highest post in her own party, why are others urging her on?

Whose ruling is this that bloggers must be card-carrying members to support a PKR candidate? None of us on the list (HERE) are card-carrying members of any political party! We will root for her, assist her but cannot vote for her. (btw Nurul and I are in touch regularly.)

You seem to have forgotten the part bloggers played on 308.

And is it a crime to be Nurul’s cheerleaders rather than be ringleaders, no? And how about this from Papa Anwar:

“I have decided not to support or object to any candidate,” he told reporters in Parliament.

The opposition leader said he just wanted the candidate to be true and loyal to the party and its struggle to initiate reforms.

“So please don't bring up the question of me and (Nurul) Izzah,” he said.

Desi signed off with:

What I am afraid of is that non-PKR members, including bloggers, step into a campaign initiated by parties with less than "principled" interests in what is essentially a matter that the PKR party members must decide for themselves. Mercenary campaigners and not well-informed outsiders may just turn out to be caught in a situation not of their own making. Or some bloggers feel they are now ready to play a "king-maker" role?

“parties with less than ‘principled’ interests”

Mercenary campaigners

Not well-informed outsiders

King-maker role

Mr Chong, I will have you know that I initiated this move (or your preferred "movement") without any promptings from anybody. You will have to take my word for this.(HERE)

Dang prissy Desi, you should take up drinking….it clears cobwebs imaginary or otherwise. Cheers old boy!

PS…what’s Yes, anytime, YL. I will check if C Z Jones wants to give you an old time peck! No I will not as you are beginning to sound like that Rais bloke.

ITS THE YOUNG GENERATION THAT COUNTS.

I put this up when Azmin went on a campaign against Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim. I am saying this again: If you are not family, best you disband.....aka fuck off, get out of our face.

No I did not put up a posting yesterday.....I wanted answers from merchant Square about Nurul not qualifying to contest for Deputy President, despite me and Haris (People's Parliament) putting up evidence that three divisions nominated her.

Not a squeak from Merchant Square.....but I spent my time well, off the keyboard. I went for happy hours. Happy hours is where you meet the young vibrant Malaysians who are not yet strapped down with wife and kids to go back to after office hours. Time is theirs to de-stress, to drink their cares away, to curse at their bosses. This is the time they speak the truth. I sat myself at Tom, Dick & Harry...the mecca of youthful exuberance. I just wanted to be with the young, hopefully to sound the depths of our youths psyche. I had to know, because I want Nurul to take on that challenge of being the Deputy President of PKR. PKR was using their machinations to thwart her move in that direction. Somebody, Ralph I later learned, spotted me. To cut a long drawn drinking bout short I was assured that this motley crowd, 6 young men and 4 young ladies were in sync with my quest. They do not belong to any political party but they said they loved Nurul,,,,,kinda like a torchbearer of youth. Before I left for Sid, in the next block I admonished Nisha and Kamurul as they are not registered voters. They promised to go to Pos Office to register tomorrow and show proof, failing which they will pay my bills the next ttime I catch up with then,

Sid's Place had the usual suspects nursing their Guiness. I sat outside. Jackson and wife to be Millicent identified me. Millicent to me: Uncle Zorro, no posting today? I told her why. I was waiting the mater-effers at Merchant Square to give me answers to my queries on Nurul's eligibility, However I came away happy that they loved Nurul and see her as a starry potential.

I left Sid, confident that our youths are aware of Nurul. I had to meet the Admiral and Hawkeye after shower to do some fishing,

But I still wait for an answer from Merchant Square? You think they are up to it? To give us an honest answer as to why Nurul does not qualify when we have given evidence that 3 divisions nominated her. If they cannot come up with a justifiable answer then I say FOff.....go back to UMNO.

SOMETHING ROTTEN IN MERCHANT SQUARE?

September 26(malaysiakini)

She said this when asked to comment on the results of the Sabah's Keningau division's AGM last week, that saw her No 2 nomination.

Keningau also nominated Federal Territory PKR chief Zaid Ibrahim for the post of party president.

"The election secretariat informed me of the fact,” Nurul Izzah toldMalaysiakini today.

She will need a second nomination to be eligible for the contest.

And will not this nomination from Semporna and Selangau qualify Nurul to contest.

PLEASE CLICK ON IMAGES

What directives is the Secretariat receiving and from whom?

Today: (malaysiakini)

According to election administrator Raden Shamsulkamar Raden Shamsudin, all divisions had to officially submit their nominations by last Sunday.

Is that a fact? I was told it was 16October. A directive from the Secretariate? If so let’s have the directive published. Is the Election committee in the loop or have they been sidelined? Now that the President Kak Wan is back she should call for a meeting between the JPP and the Secretariat. We in the alternative media is quite pissed off with what seems to be afoot at Merchant Square?.

Only 160 of the total 205 divisions managed to meet that deadline, with ten divisions failing to hold their annual general meeting and 35 divisions submitting after Oct 10.

None of the 35 divisions which missed the deadline nominated candidates who had not yet qualified, including Nurul Izzah, he said when contacted byMalaysiakini today.

If some of us were given a copy of Semporna nominations, how come Merchant Square did not? Or what we received were fakes? We need to know or we are therefore led to believe that someone is all out to prevent Nurul from contesting for DP?

Dang, something sure is rotten in Merchant Square.

BY WHAT AUTHORITY MALIK HUSIN?

This guy declared the election null and void. He is one of the JPP members charged with seeing thru the election process in Hulu Selangor. He made this decision without consulting with the other JPP members present.

AND HE GOT CHAIRED FOR MAKING THAT DECISION. And this is what is happening in PKR.

And I am reliably informed that the Sec. Gen went by his decision, to which Dr Molly Cheah objected. But the other JPP members agreed with the Sec Gen because they did not want to rock the boat! What boat? Paper?

LET'S HELP HER OUT OF THIS PREDICAMENT.

I texted Nurul and asked her to go for Deputy President. This was her reply:

You present me with a tough predicament
