Malaysian ruling party women declare ‘jihad’ against Anwar

WHAT THE FUCK? WAH LAU!

How did I miss this story today? Came across this article on MSN News which quotes The Star’s article in today’s paper.

Yes, I do think that the Permatang Pauh by-election is a waste of time and resources, and I have said it before. But jihad?

Come on lah, Kak Ijat, what nonsense is this?

Wan Azizah quits as MP, makes way for Anwar

Jul 31, 2008 News Breaks

This is what I was dreading. I personally think that it is a waste of money to run in an elections and then resign to allow for a by-election. I said this before during the General Elections.

Datuk Dr. Wan Azizah has resigned as Permatang Pauh MP to make way for her husband Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to stand in a by-elections.

The Star reports that the Opposition Leader (former now, I suppose) handed her resignation letter to Parliament Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia.

It is not only a waste of resources, time and money, it’s also a waste of an MP - I personally thought that Wan Azizah has been doing a good job as Opposition Leader. As far as I’m concerned, this has made the election process a farce.
