Of karma, frog hopping and time for Zuraida to quit politics for good - superadmin - 12-29-2022

NETIZENS seem to be both unforgiving and unanimous that Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM) has made the right decision to drop the axe on its president-designate Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin (and 10 others) yesterday (Dec 27) amid a leadership struggle with the party’s incumbent president and Julau MP Datuk Larry Sng.

In fact, they have a gala time poking fun at PBM president aspirant who was eventually shown the exit door by the party’s disciplinary committee for failing to respond to a show-cause letter issued to them on Dec 19.

For the record, Sng has emerged the sole PBM victor during the recently concluded 15th General Election (GE15).

While Marcia Rajalumar deemed PBM as having made the right decision to terminate the membership of Zuraida and Co, a cheeky BK NG snubbed the former Ampang MP who party-hopped from PKR to Bersatu at the height of the Sheraton Move saga for “failing to learn from Moo PN (Perikatan Nasional chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin) on how to stage a robbery using the backdoor”.

After Zuraida’s sacking from PBM, what now?

KUALA LUMPUR – Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin’s sacking from Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM) marks the end of a miserable year for the former cabinet member, who enters the new year without a party for the first time in her political career. 

Having joined PKR as one of its earliest members in 1999, Zuraida rose through the ranks in the party, culminating in her election as vice-president in 2018 as well as serving as Pakatan Harapan’s (PH) women chief at the time.

It was also under PKR that she made her electoral debut, contesting and winning the Ampang parliamentary constituency for three consecutive terms from 2008.

However, political factionalism led her and several other leaders aligned to Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali to leave the reformist party in February 2020, joining Bersatu to form the new government then. She was later appointed as a supreme council member.

But it was not until this year that her political life slid downhill.

On May 9, after a falling out with the top leadership, she was issued a show-cause letter by Bersatu for participating in several PBM activities, with her loyalty in question.
