He said this could be due to members losing faith in PKR’s leadership for ignoring their complaints about the DAP, a component member of the PKR-DAP-PAS alliance (Pakatan Rakyat).
“Such complaints have been around for a long time...since Pakatan Rakyat was formed.
“Internal channels have been used but no action has been forthcoming,” he said in the “Soal Jawab” talkshow aired by TV3 tonight.
He said DAP was not needed in the opposition coalition and that the party was a “thorn in the flesh” to the alliance.
Asked about the risks of expelling DAP from Pakatan Rakyat as the coalition would lose power in some states, Zulkifli said such risks must be taken as what was important was the nation and the people.
Besides this, Zulkifli also said PAS and PKR should enter into talks with Umno on Islamic issues without holding any prejudices.
“Whoever champions Islam is our friend, no matter PKR, PAS or Umno,” he said.
He recently lodged a police report against Khalid Samad, the PAS Member of Parliament for Shah Alam, over differences in opinion about Islamic issues and has been referred to PKR’s disciplinary board over it.
The board has yet to meet to deliberate the case.

PKR has different political beliefs from Umno, and if these defectors can leave so easily to go to Umno which they deemed as corrupt when they first joined PKR, then I say, money speaks.
Political beliefs is about conviction, it s not like changing jobs in a company. If these traitors can change their convictions so easily, they are not that convicted after all. They are not fit to be a PKR MP. The people do not want you. Leave. At least, we know now, and not make the same mistake again next election.

What you need to do is keep religion out of politics. Just look around the world. Those places that mix religion with politics end up killing each other under the guise of religion. You can practice your Islam all you want but don't bring them into politics. Politics is the management of a country where policies that will benefit the country should be discuss.
It looks like you are scared to be discipline by PKR and now you are trying to scare them from taking any action on you by declaring this nonsense that a large exodus is possible. That may be so and it is better to happen now than when PR takes over Putrajaya. We don't have time to deal with your nonsense once we are in Putrajaya fixing all the messed up policies of BN for the last 30 years!

So this is how the Malays view the Chinese - a thorn in the flesh. Now we can see the true colours of this Zul and probably most Malays. But to me, the Malays are ultra kiasu, depending on handouts and if there is no handouts, they will throw tantrums. So how to live the Malaysian dreams?????

and
2. “Whoever champions Islam is our friend, no matter PKR, PAS or Umno,” he said.
So it isn't the good of the "whole" nation afterall. It's conditional it may seem.

This is what comes from the harbouring of a turncoat, and then not expelling him quickly when it was discovered earlier....he's vandalizing the furniture before he returns the keys to the house. Surely this worm belongs to UMNO.
PKR please boot this guy and and his cohorts into the deepest ocean before he comes at the party with a steamroller to finish what he started.

Are we just seeing prodigal UMNO sons returning to the fold. So the question that begs an answer is 'was it all about political philosophy or philosophical about money'. It would seem that the Malay agenda has taken many guises but many will asking this - is the PKR relevant for the changes the public is clamoring to see or will we see the rise of a more dominant DAP fielding truly multi-ethnic candidates? Whatever the transformation PKR is fast becoming just a paler shade of UMNO.

cannot fit into a party that discourages curruption! Like the Zahrain guy who is involved
in a 2dollar company to grab a big piece of the pie Wont be surprised more of these
money minded old previous umno goons will show their true colour and jump
PKR is beset with this problem becos of them And if the Indians in Perak or the Chinese too
cannot perceive the oppresive goonmen we have and forget the atrocities and corruption
practiced through many decades of ruleand and still elect them atrocities will get heavier
They will rightly deserve it

Zulkifli Nordin, from what you implied, why not take the lead and leave PKR first to prove your flimsy assumption. Do you think umno will accept you. I doubt they want you. Do you know why?
If they accept you, they would definitely not nominate you as a candidate in the next General Election under their party banner, as you and all know you are sure a loser. Now, do you know where you stand in the next General Election. You are going into oblivion, do you ever realize. That's the end of
you in politics, isn't it.
