‘PKR needs to buck up on its campaign’
By Zefry Dahalan, Free Malaysia Today
KUALA KUBU BARU: PKR’s Hulu Selangor by-election campaign machinery has come under fire from several quarters within Pakatan Rakyat for its organisational and implementation failures.
“It looks like too many people from PKR are involved and as such work is not being done effectively on the ground,” said a local Pakatan leader who refused to be named.
The by-election campaign is headed by Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim at the state level and under him falls the state excos as well as the party’s hierarchy.
The Pakatan leader also told FMT that the lack of proper top-to-down communication has also resulted in the party being slow in putting up posters and distributing leaflets of its candidate Zaid Ibrahim.
“In fact, there are times when Zaid’s schedules are also not informed on time by the party organisers, which leaves the party workers and supporters in the dark as to what’s being planned for the day,” added the Pakatan leader.
Similarly other Pakatan leaders also complain on the failure of the PKR machinery in organising proper lodging and food for party workers coming for campaigning from other states.
