Hail PKR! A Party That Has A High Tolerance For Dissent!

I must say I'm impressed with Parti Keadilan Rakyat for not buckling under any pressure to sack (its) enfant terrible Zaid Ibrahim who has called on party leader Anwar Ibrahim to leave the party and take along with him vice-president Azmin Ali. That is on top of all that he has said about Anwar, Azmin and PKR as well as his claims of fraud in the ongoing elections.

There have been rumbles by Anwar's supporters here and there and a whack by Anwar's former bff, and apparently a statement by the Federal Territories PKR leadership council (of which Zaid formerly led) expressing support for Anwar and Dr Wan Azizah Ismail -- but calling for even a push for disciplinary action against Zaid -- well there has been zilch.

Isn't that something? My kind of party....very very tolerant of dissent.

In fact, that's the way it should be. The less said by party leaders the better. Jangan keruhkan keadaan.

But, really -- Zaid has crossed the line. And he knows it. And he doesn't care. I'm sure he is also surprised why he has not been punished....

Or as far as PKR is concerned, Zaid (who has started a roadshow) has been given enough rope....
