SINGAPORE: The absence of Parti Keadilan Rakyat's (PKR) deputy president Azmin Ali and several other senior leaders at the party leaders retreat ...
Mr Azmin was conspicuously absent at the party retreat held in Mr Anwar’s constituency of Port Dickson. Party secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution said he spoke personally to Mr Azmin to invite him to attend the retreat, but Mr Azmin said he already had other commitments.
“Overall, I would say it gives a very bad impression for Pakatan Harapan in a situation where the economy has yet to stabilise and there is infighting within PKR just after one year of ruling ,” he said.Currently, out of PH’s 129 parliamentary seats in parliament, PKR is the party with the most seats, at 50. Democratic Action Party is second with 42 seats while Bersatu has 26 seats.
The PKR split would also directly impact the Prime Minister succession plan as earlier agreed by PH. Based on previous announcements, Dr Mahathir is due to hand over the premiership to Mr Anwar in mid-2020. Dr Oh concurred, and highlighted how Dr Mahathir has recently wavered on setting the exact date to handover to Mr Anwar.
