Oppositionists vs Opportunists

(L-R) Ong Kian Ming (formerly from Sedar, Gerakan’s think-tank, now in pursuit of a PhD), Nat Tan (Special Assistant to PKR’s Tian Chua), Tony Pua (Advisor to DAP’s Lim Guan Eng), Nik Nazmi (Special Assistant to PKR’s Anwar Ibrahim).

New Kids on the Block.

Except for Ong Kian Ming (assuming he is a member of Gerakan, which is a coalition partner of the ruling party), this group of young intellectuals are worthy opponents of the much-hyped Oxford opportunist.

Nik Nazmi could have had an easy start in Malaysian politics if he chose the BN route but his propensity towards opposition politics was evident during his undergraduate years in King’s College, London.

I am surprised at the many well-educated and highly qualified young men and women who are willing to commit themselves to the opposition, as the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages. It seems like a calling to serve the country in checking the ruling party, which is getting too powerful and arrogant and unable to control rampant corrupt practices evident all over the country.
