PKR must outlive the shadow of DSAI...

No issue of DSAI getting into parliament. After all he deserved it having served unwarranted time in prison. However, it's the way it is designed. He seems to be splitting his own party. It would have been a very grand affair if his journey to this by election is more transparently done, amongst his party and give a grand announcement with all by his side. Quite sure nobody would want to block him or can block him, coming back.

Precisely the point. It should have been a grand affair (announcement) especially with Tun M and the Presidential Council at his side. Why the "Cloak & Dagger" way. He is the 8th PM in waiting.
I am angry at the way it was handled/managed, not that he is our 8th PM in waiting.
Nonetheless, i wish him all the best and only the ppl of P132 (PD) can decide if he will be the 8th PM now.

Should go to an UMNO stronghold to prove his worth. Why PD?

Because PKR is a hopeless party that can only stand in urban and semi-urban areas where there are significant non-Malay voters. If any PKR leader will to stand in rural Malay majority areas, they will be massacred like in the case of Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang.

I am not paying for Invoke anymore to further Rafizi's agenda to propel Anwar forward. PD move was done in bad taste and without the very same transparency and consensus that the former was so concerned about.
