COMMENT | Lately, politics has been quite boring to follow or comment on. It’s not like nothing is happening, everything is just operational. I guess this isn’t a bad thing because if there isn’t much attention given to politics, then it means all is going smoothly, and well, operational.

Of course, it could also mean that they cover up well or have good public relations skills. But let’s assume the best for the moment.

When the PKR election results came out recently, it caught everyone’s attention because some bigwigs were contesting against each other, with the biggest wigs being Nurul Izzah Anwar and Rafizi Ramli.

Coming into the election, Rafizi was the incumbent of the second-highest post in the party - deputy president. He was also the economy minister.

Nurul Izzah, on the other hand, had lost in the last general election. She held no government post and was a vice-president in the party. She is also the daughter of the party president, Anwar Ibrahim.

As we all know, the two bigwigs duked it out...
