The decision made by PAS and DAP was actually a subtle way of saying “no” to PKR efforts to oust Khalid Ibrahim from his position
Puteri Sabira, Free Malaysia Today
Anwar Ibrahim’s statement that his wife will take over as the Menteri Besar of Selangor has sown more confusion in the already murky ‘Oust Khalid’ move.
Menteri Besar Incorporated chief executive Faekah Husin said the decision made by Pakatan yesterday showed no clear indication whether PAS and DAP supported their coalition partner’s move to replace Khalid Ibrahim as the Selangor Menteri Besar.
“The decision made by PAS and DAP was actually a subtle way of saying “no” to PKR’s efforts to oust Khalid from his position,”Faekah told FMT .
She also said Pakatan’s decision to accept the PKR proposal had sparked confusion and doubts in some quarters.
Faekah was responding to reports on Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s announcement that Pakatan had finally agreed on PKR’s proposal to install Wan Azizah as the Selangor Menteri Besar.
Anwar said the DAP and PAS leadership will discuss the proposal at their party level and a decision will made at a later date.
But Anwar won’t have it all his own way. Selangor PAS Youth want Khalid to continue as the Selangor Menteri Besar and urged PKR not to gamble away Selangorians’ trust in Pakatan Rakyat.
In a statement on Thursday morning, its youth chief Syarhan Humaizi Abdul Halim concurred with Selangor PAS Commissioner Iskandar Samad, who was against PKR’s decision to replace Khalid with PKR president and Kajang assemblywoman Datuk Seri Dr.Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
