PKR urged to reject turncoats

KUALA LUMPUR: PKR should not accept elected representatives who quit from Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah), said Amanah youth chief Shazni Munir Mohd Ithnin.

He said PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim should reject the culture of party hopping within Pakatan Harapan (PH), which is beneficial to only one party.

“Accepting these party hoppers will only cause tension between the parties,” he said, adding that PH could generally agree that party hopping among elected representatives was a clear abuse of the country’s democratic system because “buying and selling” of elected representatives was a despicable and corrupt culture.

“In a statement issued by PKR on Feb 27, it was clearly stated that the party rejects party hopping aimed at weakening any party in the opposition bloc.

“However, also on the same day, the media reported that PKR had accepted a few elected representatives in Johor,” said Shazni Munir. – Bernama
