Accept the people’s verdict, says Azmin
(NST) – Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) deputy president Azmin Ali last night posted several hard-hitting tweets in a veiled attack against his leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
The tweets, including one indirectly asking Anwar not to drag the people in his failed attempt to take over Putrajaya, came as Anwar addressed a rally in Kelana Jaya to question the general election outcome.
In another tweet, Azmin said the calls for reformasi should start with one whispering it within himself.
“Gagal ke Putrajaya. Salah siapa ? Ikuti penjelasan dalam masa terdekat. (Failure to go to Putrajaya. Whose fault is it? Wait for the explanation soon),” said Azmin in another tweet.
Azmin said the people were getting fed up with aggressive politics.
“Accept the punishment. Acknowledge your weaknesses. Progress forward.
“Accept the verdict of the people. Move forward while focusing on policies which benefit the people and not those which bully them.”
The rally was held to reject the results of some some seats despite Pakatan Rakyat winning three states – Selangor, Penang and Kelantan.
Anwar, in his speech at the rally, said that many were upset with the election results and claimed that their victory was stolen by BN.
Also present include DAP’s Lim Kit Siang and Penang chief minister Lim Guan Eng.
Meanwhile, former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said he had predicted the rally would happen and had written about it in his blog.
“I wrote that the first Bersih and Bersih 2.0 was just a preliminary to a protest after election if they lose. If they did not lose, they will not be protesting.
“This is typical (losing behaviour) in trying to pressure the government and create problems,” he said during a press conference after attending a Malaysian Harbour Pilots Association dinner in Shah Alam last night.
