PETALING JAYA: The turmoil in PKR over the past two days is a clear sign that the party is now in deep crisis from rival factions aligned to president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and his deputy Datuk Seri Azmin Ali.

Political analyst and Universiti Sains Malaysia social science lecturer Prof Dr Sivamurugan Pandian said this could be seen from three recent incidents.
