SHAH ALAM: Any leader or member who chooses to stop being loyal to PKR and acts in ways that weaken the party must take full responsibility for their decision, says PKR vice-president Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari.
He said PKR had provided the platform and opportunity for the individuals concerned to build their names and hold positions within the party leadership.
“The party is very clear; anyone who takes steps to no longer remain loyal to the party or takes actions that damage and diminish the party’s strength must take responsibility because this party is the one that elevated you,“ he said.
“I was among the ‘suspects’ during the Sheraton Move, but I made the brave and firm decision to remain with the party alongside other leaders.”
The Selangor Mentri Besar said this in response to calls for Ampang MP Rodziah Ismail and Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung to vacate their seats after attending a campaign programme by former Pandan MP Rafizi Ramli and former Setiawangsa MP Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, both of whom have also quit PKR.
Commenting on Selangor’s position as a PKR stronghold, Amirudin said the party is not taking any changes in the state’s current political landscape lightly.
“At this point, we must make the right decisions and not take things lightly because this party was established on the people’s strong spirit and has a lot of experience, including facing various challenges.
“All leaders must examine political dynamics by taking into account all aspects and not underestimating opponents, allies or new elements such as the party joined by Rafizi and Nik. We will see its impact,” he added.
