Emmanuel Joseph on Nurul Izzah's appointment

By Emmanuel Joseph

OK so Izzah is a three term ex MP in 2 states, leader of several international NGOs and think tanks and a trained engineer who also has a Masters in ASEAN and international relations, former founding member, 23 year veteran VP of a party and headed  3 different States and formerly was the face of the party struggle, rejected appointments when her party won 3 elections in Selangor, 1 election in Negeri Sembilan and 1 Federal Elections and appointments when her mother was DPM.

So you had no problems with her shouldering all that work for free, for 23 years.

Now you have a problem with her father appointing her as a glorified office helper with an official name and no official pay.

Same people were moaning and crying when she refused a post Dr M wanted to appoint her to (that TVET thing in 2018), now equating her with parachute politicians, overpaid empty posts, overnight President's daughters and such.

Look, I agree with no nepotism lah. But I mean when the same people been championing her as the new PM la, great woman leader lah, new face of PKR la, but when her she actually comes to the forefront, all hell breaks loose. I get it coming from civil society, its their job to make noise, its their job to preach idealism.

Can ask the Penang civil societies, even if you give them a zero emission train that flies silently from island to mainland and is powered by the tears of whipped capitalists and that generates gold bars to throw at passing migrants and stateless children, they will still still find something to complain about the train's gender expression.

What I don't get is the noise coming from the same PH uncle auntie crowd who wanted her to replace the father, wanted her, Rafizi and KJ to open the dream team club of misplaced bitcoin youth, who was using her as the poster child, poster teen, poster young adult and poster mum of ideal perjuangan while they ship their children off to study at first opportunity overseas, then tell them not to come back.

See this habit and whiter than white attitude out of the Rolex-wearing, Merc-driving Seasonal PH Supporters Club of Mont Kiara, Desa Parkcity and Australia is why PH cannot rule long and why people keep going back to proven, known, stable but broken system. You all can take your holier-than-thou attitude, find that zero emission gender neutral train, and f- it.
