Where PKR can take a leaf from Umno
#1
[Image: 06-RAFIZI-RAMLI.jpg]

From Terence Netto

PKR began as an Umno splinter in the late 1990s.

Sure, it began as Parti Keadilan Nasional before it morphed into Parti Keadilan Rakyat.

But still it was an Umno splinter before it evolved into a multiracial party, determined to be as unlike Umno as possible.

Even to the extent of declining to use the terms “bahagian” (division) and “cawangan” (branch), employed by Umno to denote its parts, preferring “cabang” and “ranting”, respectively, as labels for its shoots.

Be as different as possible from Umno – that spirit appeared to be PKR’s originating ethos.

Essentially, PKR is a product of the travails of Anwar Ibrahim, following his sacking and public humiliation by then Umno president Dr Mahathir Mohamad in September 1998.
