'Retire, Anwar, and prepare to meet angel of death'

Prior to the 13th general election, Anwar Ibrahim said he would retire from politics and become a lecturer should the opposition bloc fail to capture federal power.

But the opposition leader appears to have had a change of heart.

However, Perkasa vice-president Zulkifli Nordin (right) wants Anwar to keep his word and bow out, especially since he is already old and has one foot in the grave.

"It is best that you keep your promise and retire, become a lecturer.

"If you cannot get to teach in Oxford, then you can try UniSel. I am sure (Selangor Menteri Besar) Khalid Ibrahim will give you a place there," Zulkifli says in his blog.

Furthermore, Zulkifli said, newly elected PAS vice-president Husam Musa had stressed that the post of prime minister post be given to his party president, Abdul Hadi Awang, should Pakatan win the next election.

This, according to the Perkasa leader, showed that even PAS no longer wanted Anwar.

Zulkifli, a former PKR MP, said that even PKR was currently in a disarray, with its elected representatives and members in Sabah quitting and expressing support for the BN.

'Spend more time with your grandchildren'

"So (Anwar), it is time to make preparations for the coming of the angel of death, listen to more nasyid (religious recitals)... and before the angel comes, spend more time with your grandchildren.

"Remember that no matter how much we try to look young with botox, we will still die," says the former Kulim Bandar Bahru MP on a macabre note.

Listing out the "falsehoods" peddled by Anwar over the years, ranging from the Sept 16 take over plan in 2008 to the 40,000 Bangladeshi voters, Zulkifli said these were crimes against democracy, which if not curbed, would destroy the nation.

"As for DAP, PKR and PAS, my advice to them is to cease indulging in dirty and disgusting politics.

"Politics based on lies, manipulation, chauvinism and extremism are not the legacies which we should leave behind for the coming generations," he adds.

Ironically, Zulkifli himself had been branded as an extremist.

In the run-up to the last general election, in which he failed in his bid to win the Shah Alam parliament seat under a BN ticket, a video surfaced showing him allegedly ridiculing the Hindu faith.

Furthermore, Perkasa is often condemned as an extremist outfit and accused of causing racial strife in its struggle to uphold Malay rights.
