I refer to the Malaysiakini report Ezam vows to 'diminish' Anwar's influence.

Ezam Mohd Noor was the most juvenile and vulgar element of PKR during the reformasi years. He called Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad unprintable names. All is captured in video and writing. Why was Ezam behaving like this? The reason is because he didn't have higher ideals.

He was literally worshiping Anwar Ibrahim. He was a young man who was angry that he was ejected out of power. Of course, he didn't have power but walking on the red carpets laid down for Anwar was too tantalising.

Ezam paid the price for his Anwar worship and went to jail. Mahathir left office and Abdullah Ahmad Badawi riding on a ‘Oh...Mahathir left’ popular wave cruised to a crushing BN victory. In the process, Ezam's dubious character of eating from both camps was unearthed.

Anwar Ibrahim was released. He went abroad both for medical reasons and also as he said, to ‘give Abdullah enough space to operate.’ He started rebuilding a tattered party, building alliances, bridging gaps and formulating policies. It was here that Anwar was forced to choose his soldiers wisely.

Having learnt from his 1998 episode, he became stealthy and very cautious. Though accommodative to all, he trusted few. Despite going to jail for his worship, Ezam was not part of the trusted lieutenants in the new era despite being one in the past. Though I'm not a PKR member, I generally support PAS and PKR and have many good friends in both parties.

A highly placed PKR man told me: ‘Anwar opted for cautious people like him and it was here that Azmin Ali carried the day.’

Ezam quit PKR. As we remember, he said Anwar was ‘a dictator’ and Azmin Ali a chief manipulator (in that he manipulated Anwar into becoming his right hand man - a job Ezam wanted).

During the Permatang Pauh by-election, Ezam reveals his inherent jealousy and said: ‘I have not been accommodated in PKR as I wanted which I suffered for.’ No need to explain this.

Ezam formed Gerak (ironically bankrolled by Umno's most corrupted man). He languished in obscurity and irrelevance though he continued lashing out at Umno and claiming that he will lodge report after report on its ‘massive corruption’. It remained so until the March 2008 came when Anwar led three disparate parties to a historical win. Then Anwar started courting BN MPs. and Umno went into panic overdrive.

Khairy Jamaluddin brought in Ezam in the hope that he will blunt Anwar's advances. The problem was that Ezam was not a leader of any group or society. He has never been a state assembly person let alone an MP. His only claim to office was his being an Anwar's clerk.

During the Permatang Pauh by-election he went round inventing every imaginable calumny against Anwar. The trouble was he had done the same to others before and people knew this. So his rants didn't hold water. His and Umno's politics were rejected in a resounding manner. He went underground and was only found when the Kuala Terengganu by-election arose.

Ezam's desperate antics went a notch higher in KT. He came up with another joke. ‘The six boxes are kept outside the country’ by Anwar he claimed. Subhannalah! Now that was the biggest joke he had made in one decade.

‘The boxes contain evidences against Anwar’s cronies and because of that I left PKR’ he said. Ya Allah! Never mind what he has been saying for years and years that the boxes were in relation to Mahathir and Umno!

Then came the most base move he could make - the Anwar Ibrahim letter. He threatened to reveal a letter in which Anwar sought to make peace with Mahathir. His paralysed personality and feeble mind was on display for all to see. For one, the letter he showed was published in 1999 in the ‘Free Anwar Ibrahim’ Campaign website. It was also published in many other personal blogs and was also published in ‘Malaysia-Today’ last year.

But the shock was when Ezam claimed that he sought the permission of Abdullah and Najib to reveal the letter. I couldn't believe what I read. If that's true, then it proves that Dollah and Najib are beyond salvation. How can you seek permission for a letter that has been in the public domain for 10 years?

And the letter showed the positive nature of Anwar more than any anything else. What is the wisdom behind ‘revealing’ it? But that's what you get when you rely on scandalous minds.

When Pakatan Rakyat was using dignified people like former Umno Petaling Jaya Selatan division leader Capt (R) Zahar Hashim and Zaid Ibrahim, Umno (or rather Najib and Abdullah since ordinary Umno members avoided him) were using Ezam.

You think people fail to make comparisons? To compare notes? Who told you badmouthing your opponent, particularly over a case of ‘sour grapes’, makes you gain ground? Who told you employing dubious elements convinces people?

Remember, voters have dignity and they have issues and questions. They want those answered and they want the ones who are answering to be impeccable.

Ezam was there vomiting on the shoes of Umno and its leaders before and he was there doing the same in KT. He even dared PAS Vice-President Husam Musa. As usual, Ezam swore and challenged Husam to do the same and meet for a swearing session. Knowing his diseased ego, Husam answered that swearing was for those who weren’t sure of themselves and that he (Husam) was not a tokoh unlike Ezam. It was a devastating sarcasm.

Finally, this is my advice to Ezam. You claim to be fighting for Islam and the Malay people. Sir, neither Islam nor the Malays have ordained you to speak on their behalf. Islam has its Protector in Allah the Almighty. Furthermore, Islam is about ideals, dignity, trustworthiness, shyness, humility, manners, patience, benevolence, forgiveness, humbleness and you exhibit none. Go and learn Islam before you ‘defend’ it.

I hope that you will do some good for your wife, children and parents by carrying yourself with dignity. I doubt you can, but I really feel disturbed that you are putting your own parents and children in the line of disdain and ridicule. Go and do something good with your life.
