Ezam Mohd Noor's 'Gerak' renamed 'Gertak'?

Almost a month ago malaysiakini reported that Gerak will name 'corrupt' minister if PM fails to act.

Gerak is the ‘Democracy and Anti-Corruption Movement’, an anti-graft watchdog headed by Ezam Mohd Noor, once right hand man of Anwar Ibrahim.

He had threatened to name the cabinet minister whom he alleged has siphoned off RM30 million to clear his (the minister’s) personal debt.

I blogged on that in
Gerak warns AAB - It'll name (alleged) corrupt senior cabinet minister.

I posted that Ezam threatened to make public those documents (made up of primary documents and not news paper cuttings) which would expose the corruption if PM AAB still won’t act after he (Ezam) sent a second memorandum. The second memorandum was supposed to be delivered to the PM a week after he (Ezam) had made that threat.

Well, as I said at the beginning, it’s almost a month now, so what has Ezam Mohd Noor has to say?

Diam saja (silence!)?

As one reader commented sarcastically and in fact rather correctly:
“Just do it. Gertak* saje. As always.”

*
make empty threats

Another reader, my Penang kinfolk, ali allah ditta, said in concert:
“...but the problem here Ezam pun gertak saja...make noise & he shall be heard, EC is coming & he needs a seat (probably for UMNO). & remember the 4 kotak* he brags during the reformasi days..... gertak juga namanya bukan GERAK**.”

* box
** Looks like his organisation is Gertak (makes empty threats) rather than Gerak

Aiyoyo, Ezam Mohd Noor, benar kah … your ‘Democracy and Anti-Corruption Movement’ is now renamed Gertak?

  1. Gertak is what it is. Nothing more than that. He didnt make any headway in PKR and will he get any place in UMNO? Now Ezam is neither here nor there. AAB may think of a way tokeep him quiet.

  2. Probably Gertak saja, but I fail to make the logical connection between him making himself a nuisance with UMNO and somehow making it to being an UMNO EC candidate ?

  3. Hey KTemoc...I posted a reply on a Bahrin related article a fair while ago under the name Tim with my email attached...tiferg@hotmail.com. Anyway, I was wondering if you could remove that email address or the post since someone has just used that detail to contact me about matters i do not wish to discuss. regards, Tim
