"Wan Azizah has the guts to do the job" - Dr Tan Kee Kwong when asked about Kajang by election
“This is clearly a very smart move. Wan Azizah has the guts to do the job. She is to many Malaysians the ideal woman, putting husband and family first, but when the need comes, she can hold her own even in Parliament. How many women in Malaysia can do that?” Tan Kee Kwong, a senior member of the PKR or People’s Justice Party, told Malaysia Chronicle.
KUALA LUMPUR - Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, the PKR president and wife of Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim, has been named to replace him in the Kajang by-election due to be balloted later this month.
Few Malaysians would doubt her ability to overwhelm her rival for the Kajang state seat, the MCA’s Chew Mei Fun, just as Anwar had been widely expected to do so before he was abruptly convicted and sentenced to 5 years jail on Friday for allegedly sodomising an office worker.
All eyes are on the bigger question of whether she will take over as the Selangor Chief Minister or Mentri Besar after winning the seat, replacing a ‘suspect’ Khalid Ibrahim, who has been accused of ‘selling out’ his party and coalition to arch rival Umno.
Azizah, who took on the mantle of Opposition chief when her husband was framed and jailed for sodomy charges in 1998, is reviving her role after Prime Minister Najib Razak’s government succeeded in pinning new sodomy charges against Anwar, his arch rival since the 1980s when they were both fast-rising stars in Umno.
“This is clearly a very smart move. Wan Azizah has the guts to do the job. She is to many Malaysians the ideal woman, putting husband and family first, but when the need comes, she can hold her own even in Parliament. How many women in Malaysia can do that?” Tan Kee Kwong, a senior member of the PKR or People’s Justice Party, told Malaysia Chronicle.
