Rafizi blamed for PKR mess
Kajang Move not so brilliant, says Salleh Said Keruak
(Free Malaysia Today) – As moves to oust the Selangor Menteri Besar appear to intensify, a Sabah Umno leader has written an article that ridicules the plot against Abdul Khalid Ibrahim.
In a blog article posted recently, former Sabah chief minister Salleh Said Keruak linked the so-called Kajang Move to the current internal crisis in PKR.
“It appears like Rafizi Ramli’s so-called brilliant ‘Kajang Move’ is proving to be not so brilliant after all,” he said. “What we are seeing is one mess after another.
Salleh’s article followed remarks made against Rafizi by Ishak Man, Kedah PKR’s former information chief.
In his article, Salleh referred to allegations of fraud in the PKR election.
“The problem is the man who is tasked with the job of investigating allegations of fraud had himself been accused of fraud back in 2003 during the party’s AGM in Sungai Petani,” he said.
“This was the famous AGM that approved the merger between PKN and PRM to create what we now know as PKR.
“When the result of the vote to approve the merger was announced, more than 100 delegates led by party leader Omar Jaafar from Malacca, a man at that time very close to Anwar Ibrahim, walked out in protest and alleged that the result was fraudulent.
“These people eventually resigned from the party, as did many more, some en bloc like those from the PKR youth movement. The allegation was that the AGM did not approve the PKN-PRM merger but that the votes were manipulated.”
