Simple.
Walk like a man, talk like a man and leave that seat like a man!!!
The people have spoken and it is clear that they want him OUT OUT OUT!!! like the candle in Shakespeare's Life's Brief Candle poem.
Yesterday, he had proclaimed to Malaysiakini HERE that he would not relinquish his position as MP. He stressed that he did not betray the voters and would continue serving the constituents as he had informed the Parliament speaker of his status as an independent MP. He said that PKR members should know that he not an MP for the party but MP for the people.
Well, 2108 Bayan Baru constituents have spoken. I am sure more would have spoken if the signature campaign had been stretched over a longer period! Now what?
Datuk Zahrain had better realize that our human life is short. Our life is like a flickering candle blowing in the wind. It may get blown out at any time. Life is only temporary and can be a journey to a dark end if we lie to ourselves. By then, life would be overcast by the darkness that lies within our hearts. And then life would be sometimes meaningless if we live out a dream that does not exist because we created a living nightmare of our own.
Instead of hanging on to his position, I urge him to resign and walk out with dignity to make the most out of his life because life is short. He must always have a purpose in life and earnestly and sincerely desire to do good to others. Life will be more meaningful this way even if it means not having status, prestige or money because at the end of the day, he will have dignity and integrity all of which will mean he leaves a legacy for his descendants that they can be proud of!!!
Regardless of whatever excuses or reasons he may give, the fact remains that he betrayed the trust of the people who voted for the party. Some may have voted for him but most would have voted for the party and their voices are ringing loud and clear so walk like a man, talk like a man and leave like a man!
After all that is happened, it is the least he can do to make his constituents happy.
Update: I have just been alerted by Penangite (bless your heart) of a report in TheStar HERE that during a lecture on The Future of the Malays at Bangunan Tabung Haji in Bayan Lepas yesterday, Bayan Baru PKR Youth chief Ahmad Azrizal Tahir walked in to hand Zahrain a memorandum containing 25,000 to 30,000 signatures of constituents in Bayan Baru seeking Zahrain’s resignation as MP. So it is clear what he should do next. He can put to rest his plan to set up an “Independent Caucus” for the seven MPs who left their parties and use it as a platform to continue with their political struggles and service to the people. Let's see if he will walk, talk and exit like a man now that so many have spoken in black and white. Don't play play with Penangites in Bayan Baru!
Please leave a comment if you wish to share your thoughts and views. You can read more HERE. Thanks! Have a lovely evening! Special thanks to reader Penangite who alerted about this news.
Penangite Zahrain floats plan for Independent Caucus
~~ The Star Online, Sunday March 14, 2010
GEORGE TOWN: The seven MPs who left their parties recently may set up an “Independent Caucus” and use it as a platform to continue with their political struggles and service to the people
The lecture was earlier interrupted when Bayan Baru PKR Youth chief Ahmad Azrizal Tahir walked in to hand Zahrain a memorandum containing 25,000 to 30,000 signatures of constituents in Bayan Baru seeking Zahrain’s resignation as MP.
Ahmad Azrizal said the constituents felt cheated by Zahrain who had contested on a PKR ticket.
