Dökkálfar-ians, barbs and pennies

"There will be no opposition coalition that is stronger than Pakatan Harapan (PH).”

So said an opposition politician regarding the potential of PH in the upcoming 14th General Election (GE14). Now, a year after this declaration, has that potential been fulfilled?

Beginning with the three main roles in the highest leadership positions of PH, which are yet to be satisfactorily justified, the constant backwards and forwards games within PH (especially PKR) to entice PAS to return home, the leadership crisis in Kelantan PKR, the internal rifts in PKR and a 100-day manifesto that makes little sense, PH looks to be set to wait another five years to capture Putrajaya.

The actions of Latheefa Koya who uploaded statuses in social media which spoke of her disapproval towards Rafizi Ramli, labelling him cancerous and the main cause of the internal rifts within their party, clearly shows that PKR’s leadership crisis is getting worse.

As posted yesterday in my Rafizi spills the budu-beans on PKR, Latheefa Loya is a member of Azmin's Dökkálfar faction. She in particular is virulently against Rafizi Ramli, as has been obviously indicated above.

Rafizi Ramli has not been the first to feel the barbs of Latheefa Loya's attacks. I first came to know of ('know of', not 'know', wakakaka) Latheefa when she attacked Lee Lam Thye more than a decade ago.

Presumably being PKR, naturally when she couldn't directly attack BN, she attacked anyone no matter how apolitically associated with the government like Lee might have been.

Annoyed and riled, I then wrote something in my then-nascent blog to the effect that when Lee Lam Thye was performing sterling work for the rakyat in Kuala Lumpur, some people who attacked Lee had not even grown pubic hair yet, wakakaka.

Guess who valiantly came to her defence in my blog?

You would have never have, wakakaka.

It was none other than Helen Ang, perhaps the Helen Ang of 'old'. That's how I came to know and befriend Helen, well at least until a Mandarin-Nazi succeeded in making her mad with me, wakakaka.

Helen taught me about Denis Diderot and kings and priests 

Helen had then informed me of what a great Human-Rights lawyer Latheefa had been, and that my then-remarks were not appropriate. I accepted Helen's admonishment and forgot about the matter, well, until now, wakakaka.

It would appear that Latheefa Loya in '... labelling him [Rafizi] cancerous and the main cause of the internal rifts within their party ...' (and in my previous post, accusing Rafizi of being an UMNO mole) has not changed much in the decade since I came across her name.

Latheefa's still as acerbic as ever, except this time I doubt Helen Ang would leap to her defence, as today Latheefa is more of a Dökkálfar-ian than a Human-Rightist.

Hmmm, I wonder how Helen Ang is? A Penny for her thoughts, wakakaka.
