Fokus Semula Permatang Pauh

Special instruction Anwar kepada beberapa orang inner circle – untuk turun semula ke Permatang Pauh dan buat analisa selepas lawatan Tun Mahathir ke kawasan tersebut. Pada mulanya, Anwar tak risau langsung dengan kehadiran Mahathir. Pada Anwar, ‘old man’ will not make an impact. Cumanya, Anwar jadi rasa tak sedap hati kerana kebanyakan kawasan di Permatang Pauh sudah berani meletakkan banner Mahathir secara terbuka.
Semua orang tahu, selepas 1998, Permatang Pauh adalah KUBU KUAT PKR dan Anwar. Takkan ada orang luar yang mampu tembus. Malahan, pada hari ini, Anwar dengan yakin sekali mengatakan, letaklah siapa sahaja, dia masih mampu menang walaupun tangan diikat di belakang. Ramai kawan-kawan PKR yang pernah dengar ayat ni. Makna kata, Permatang Pauh bukan untuk orang lain. Anwar dan keluarga sahaja.
Anwar dapat report selang sejam, sepanjang ucapan Tun di Permatang Pauh. Antara yang Anwar tahu Tun akan bangkitkan, adalah mengenai RCI. Anwar tahu, dan minggu ini memerlukan cerita baru yang boleh Anwar spin mengenai isu RCI. Setakat ini belum ada.
Anwar cukup terperanjat apabila dimaklumkan oleh seorang Koperal cabuk, kehadiran lebih 6,000 orang. Mana pergi sentimen benci Mahathir yang patut ada di Permatang Pauh? Lebih mengecewakan Anwar, semua ini disusun oleh Ibrahim Ali. Injured politician. Tapi mampu kumpul 6,000 orang. Shit.
Anwar mahu Azmin fokus kepada RCI – sementara Rahim Ghouse dan Md Nur Manuty diberikan special tasking untuk gauge semula penerimaan orang di Permatang Pauh mengenai polisi PKR ketika ini.
Artikel A Kadir Jasin mengenai RCI juga menarik perhatian Anwar. Antara yang disebut Kadir Jasin:-

SHOULD we be curious that Parti Keadilan Rakyat’s deputy president, Mohd Azmin Ali, is so worried about the so-called attempts to implicate his boss, (Datuk Seri) Anwar Ibrahim, in the Sabah immigrant issue or is there something more than meets the eye?

After all, the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) had just started its work.

Or is there something intimate that he knows about Anwar’s alleged involvement in the Sabah’s immigrant issue that many young Malaysians are not aware of?

Older Malaysians who know Anwar from his student days may be less surprised about his many political and social involvements and the evolution that he went through before, during and after his Umno days.

Azmin had alleged that the PKR had received information about a plot to implicate Anwar in the on-going inquiry.
Ayat yang paling Anwar tak tahan:-
‘…..In the case of Sabah politics, in which the immigrants play a major socio-economic and political role, Anwar was for many years its key handler. Because he was one of the most trusted and ambitious allies of then Prime Minister, (Tun) Dr Mahathir ‘the Wizard’ Mohamad , he got to handle not only Sabah politics but also money that went with it – government as well as party money.
Cilaka punya Kadir. Key handler ni yang jadi masalah ni. RCI ada masalah. Permatang Pauh ada masalah.
