YOURSAY | A glimmer of hope with Rafizi’s victory

Gerard Lourdesamy: Well done former Pandan MP Rafizi Ramli for winning the PKR deputy presidency. I was rooting for you. The time has come to consolidate the party and move forward in the right direction.

Enough of the big tent, small tent and no tent talks with other parties. PKR should stick to Pakatan Harapan with DAP and Amanah, and consider working with Muda and PSM. Forget all the rest.

Even if Harapan loses the 15th general election, try to remain as an effective opposition in Parliament. Set a target to win in at least five states, including Selangor, Penang and Negeri Sembilan.

Come out with a simple manifesto and admit past mistakes during the 22 months in government.

There’s no need to cut deals with Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Muhyiddin Yassin, Najib Abdul Razak or Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. Stick to principles, credibility and integrity.

Party president Anwar Ibrahim should also forget about becoming prime minister. PKR is bigger than Anwar, Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and Nurul Izzah Anwar.

Return to the origins of Reformasi and its values. Serve the rakyat, especially the B40 (bottom 40 percent) and M40 (middle 40 percent). Enough of power plays and political games.
