Two Perak Pribumi leaders quit party posts

IPOH: Two Perak Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Pribumi) leaders have resigned from their posts, with one of them quitting the party.  

Parit Pribumi division chief Rosli Ali said he has submitted his resignation letter to quit the party while Kuala Kangsar Pribumi chief patron Dul Hayati would be quitting his post but would remain with the party.  

Rosli said he felt that the state party has lost its direction and seemed to be in limbo.  

"There's no teamwork and we are rarely involved with any meetings until I myself, as its division chief, do not know what's happening and what to do," he told a press conference here on Thursday (Oct 19).  

"From time to time, we've observed that the party's objective has veered from its path," he said, adding that Pribumi leaders were doing nothing to stop infighting between members.  

He said about 200 members from his division, including committee members, would be quitting the party.  

Dul Hayati said he was quitting his position as he has lost confidence in the state leadership.  

He said about 20 division committee members would be stepping down from their posts.  

"While other Pakatan parties have strong leaderships or icons, we don't have one," he added.

Dul Hayati said that there were constant interferences from certain leaders in the state party.

"It has come to a point that I can no longer continue with my work for the party."
