Update:- Malaysia kini report has been updated and it now reads:-
The earlier report wrongly stated that that she was going to fight FOR injustice ...which was really odd“I am not going to apologise. Let us be together, because I want to fight against injustice. “We made this move, this Kajang Move...(because) I want to fight injustice,” she said at the event in Klang."
Surely, Wan Azizah did not mean that she was going to be fighting for injustice (Maybe a mistake in the Malaysiakini report) - she should be fighting against injustice or for justice and human rights...
I believe she has the potential and the capacity to be a Menteri Besar or even Prime Minister -
And really she should speak out more often being the President of PKR...
She should also be seen to be more involved in the high-level discussions with other Pakatan leaders.

It is the people (vide their ADUNs) that should decide who should be the Menteri Besar of Selangor?
Azizah: What’s wrong with me listening to Anwar?
If PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim can
act as a consultant for foreign goverments, then why shouldn’t a
Selangor menteri besar listen to his advice?
This was PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail’s argument in response
to those who say that if she is appointed Selangor MB, she will only be
her husband Anwar’s puppet.
“Some people say I am Anwar’s puppet but Anwar is the advisor and he has all the experience (so) why can’t I listen to him?
“He
can be a consultant in the Middle East. If Qatar can offer Anwar the
postion of economic advisor, then why shouldn’t I listen to his advise
for the betterment of Selangor?” she asked.
Speaking at the first of many planned public events hosted by PKR to
explain the ongoing MB crisis, she said that she is not “apologetic”
about being nominated by her party to take over from incumbent Abdul
Khalid Ibrahim.
“I am not going to apologise. Let us be together, because I want to fight for injustice.
“We made this move, this Kajang Move...(because) I want to fight for injustice,” she said at the event in Klang.
She was referring to the Kajang by-election which was triggered by the
resignation of PKR representative Lee Chin Cheh. Wan Azizah won the
by-election.
Also speaking at the event was PKR director of strategy Rafizi Ramli.
According to Rafizi, the party will embark on a roadshow of sorts to
explain to the people of Selangor why there needs to be a change of MB.
Rafizi dares Khalid to sue him
Speaking to reporters later, he said that besides the decision to hold
information sessions, the political bureau on Sunday also decided to
instruct Khalid to meet with either Wan Azizah or Anwar to discuss his
fate.
Rafizi said that the roadshow will also raise the issue of Khalid's
dispute with Bank Islam, which some allege involve shady backdoor
deals.
As such, he dares Khalid to take legal action against him if whatever PKR exposes is untrue.
Rafizi (right), who is also Pandan MP, however, stressed that there has not been any decision by the party to sack Khalid from PKR.
He however, confirmed that there was a proposal made at Sunday's meeting that Khalid be sacked.
Neverthless, he said, such a decision must be made by the party
disciplinary committee, and not the political bureau, following a formal
complaint.
The party's decision to propose Wan Azizah as replacement MB last month
was met with mixed reaction, with some observers calling for the
decision to be left to the rakyat via fresh polls.
To this, the MP said that Rafizi said that if push comes to shove, the party is willing to face such snap polls. - Malaysiakini, 4/8/2014, Azizah: What’s wrong with me listening to Anwar?
