Nik Nazmi: PKR needs strong leadership, realistic strategy for GE16
Nik Nazmi, who is also Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister, said confidence in PKR's ability to grow can be realised if the right leadership team is paired with the party's key figures.
"We need the best individuals to reinforce our election efforts. God willing, if we get the formula right this time, we can move to the next level," he said.
He was speaking at the Jelajah Hidupkan Idealisme Reformasi Dalam Ujian Kuasa (HIRUK) programme for the Kelantan and Terengganu zone held at the National Department for Culture and Arts (JKKN) Complex in Tanjong Chat here last night.
While some have set ambitious targets of winning 80 to 90 parliamentary seats, Nik Nazmi said PKR must remain grounded, noting that the party currently holds just 30 seats. The party's best performance to date was 47 seats.
"We need to be realistic. From where we are now, what's our next target? What's achievable, and what strategy will take us there? I believe, with the right leadership combination, we can chart that path," he said.
He also stressed Kelantan's importance in helping to boost PKR's overall seat count, saying the state must not be left behind in PKR and Pakatan Harapan's efforts.
"If we want to go beyond 50 seats, Kelantan must contribute to PKR and Pakatan Harapan.

Judicial independence must continue under Wan Ahmad Farid, say PKR MPs
KUALA LUMPUR: Nine PKR members of parliament have expressed hope that the judiciary, under newly appointed Chief Justice Datuk Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh, will continue efforts to strengthen judicial independence. In a statement, they outlined five key issues that the judiciary must address following the appointment of its new leadership. This includes finalising the appointments of judges to fill 31 vacancies as soon as possible to prevent disruptions to the administration of justice, and ensuring that judicial appointments are truly based on merit and seniority, in fairness to long-serving judges who have upheld the integrity and reputation of the judiciary. "(They must also) ensure that judicial appointments follow the proper process under the Federal Constitution and the Judicial Appointments Commission Act (JAC), so that appointments are made based on merit and seniority; "(This also includes) ensuring that there is no interference in the selection, control, or influence of judicial appointments that contradict the principles of judicial independence, the Federal Constitution, the JAC Act, or procedural rules that must be followed to ensure that the process is merit-based and fair to judges. "(They must also) resolve the issues raised in previous JAC meetings, including follow-up actions to investigate allegations of attempts to influence judicial decisions made against a Federal Court judge," they said. The nine MPs are Pandan MP Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli, Setiawangsa MP Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, Puchong MP Wong Chen, Ampang MP Rodziah Ismail, Wangsa Maju MP Zahir Hassan, Balik Pulau MP Datuk Bakhtiar Wan Chik, Ledang MP Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh, Sungai Siput MP S Kesavan and Batu Pahat MP Onn Abu Bakar. They had also previously called for a royal commission of inquiry (RCI) to investigate what they claimed were alleged irregularities in the appointment of senior judges, including the Chief Justice. They had also expressed intentions to formally request that proceedings and an inquiry be conducted by the Parliamentary Special Select Committee on Human Rights, Elections and Institutional Reform, including top government officials to testify. They said the announcement that Wan Ahmad Farid has been appointed as the new Chief Justice has somewhat eased public concerns about issues related to judicial independence. Together with the appointment of Datuk Abu Bakar Jais as President of the Court of Appeal and Datuk Azizah Nawawi as the Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak, they said, it completes the current leadership of the judiciary. "The initial reaction to Wan Ahmad Farid's appointment has been mixed, given his background as a former Umno leader and his perception as being junior compared to some other judges. "We hope that, as the new Chief Justice, Wan Ahmad Farid will accept these diverse views openly. "These should serve as a guide and motivation to prove that his leadership will better uphold the independence of the judiciary, surpassing the outstanding record of Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, who previously held the position," they said. They added that the recent turmoil over judicial leadership appointments highlights the need for reforms to further strengthen the judicial appointment process to prevent such issues from recurring. Meanwhile, they also expressed hope that the government under the leadership of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim would not consider the matter fully resolved as long as improvements to the judicial appointment process are not presented to the public and implemented. They outlined several proposals for the government to take into account. This includes the proposal to improve the Prime Minister's power to reject nominations from the JAC, ensuring this power is limited and that the Prime Minister provides official reasons (either to the JAC or Parliament) for rejecting a candidate already screened by the JAC. This also includes a proposal to automatically appoint representatives from the legal bodies of Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, and Sarawak to the JAC, thus reducing the Prime Minister's power to appoint the majority of JAC members as is currently the case. "(This includes) a proposal for Parliament to be involved in confirming JAC nominations before they are brought to the Prime Minister, either in the form of confirmation hearings as in other countries, or through a parliamentary vote, with a voting mechanism to be determined later. They said they would continue to monitor these matters.

MPs urge new CJ to continue defending judiciary's independence
PETALING JAYA: Datuk Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh's appointment as the new Chief Justice has somewhat eased public concerns over the independence of the judiciary, but it still received mixed reactions, say several PKR MPs. This was because of Wan Ahmad Farid's background as a former Umno leader, and he is also seen as more junior than some other judges, they said in a joint statement on Friday (July 18). It was issued by Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli (Pandan), Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad (Setiawangsa), Wong Chen (Subang), Rodziah Ismail (Ampang), Zahir Hassan (Wangsa Maju), Datuk Muhammad Bakhtiar Wan Chik (Balik Pulau), Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh (Ledang), S. Kesavan (Sungai Siput) and Onn Abu Bakar (Batu Pahat). ALSO READ: King appoints Wan Ahmad Farid as new Chief Justice The MPs said that Wan Ahmad Farid's appointment, together with those of Datuk Abu Bakar Jais as Court of Appeal president and Datuk Azizah Nawawi as Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak, completes the top leadership of the judiciary for the time being. They hoped that Wan Ahmad Farid would accept the different views of his appointment with an open mind. 'It should serve as a guide and encouragement to prove that his leadership will defend the independence of the judiciary, surpassing the excellent record of Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat. 'We hope Wan Ahmad Farid will continue efforts to strengthen the independence of the judiciary and resolve several issues, including finalising the appointment of 31 vacancies for judges as soon as possible, to avoid disruption to the flow of judicial administration. 'The appointment of judges should be based on merit and seniority, so that it is fair to judges who have served for a long time and are responsible for maintaining the quality and good reputation of the judiciary,' they said. ALSO READ: Seniority not a requirement for Chief Justice appointment, say experts They added that the appointment of judges must follow due process under the Federal Constitution and the Judicial Appointments Commission Act 2009 without any interference to manipulate, control, or influence the process that is contrary to the principles of the independence of the judiciary. They urged that issues that have been raised in previous JAC meetings, including follow-up action to investigate allegations of attempting to influence judicial decisions made against a Federal Court judge, be resolved. Additionally, they highlighted that the recent crisis in the appointment of judiciary leadership signals the need for reforms to further strengthen the process of appointing judges, so that this matter does not recur. They pointed out that the administration under Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim should not view the matter as completely resolved without improvements to the judicial appointment process. To this end, they proposed that the prime minister's power to reject the list of nominations from the JAC be improved and limited, with an official reason (either to the JAC or Parliament) required as to why a candidate screened by the JAC has been rejected. Other proposals include candidates from the legal bodies of the peninsula, Sabah and Sarawak automatically appointed to the JAC, reducing the prime minister's power to appoint the majority of JAC members. 'We also propose that Parliament be involved in confirming the nominations from the JAC before they are brought to the prime minister, either in the form of a confirmation hearing as is the case in other countries, or the form of a parliamentary vote (according to a voting mechanism that can be determined later). 'We will continue to pay attention to these matters so that there is a voice from the backbenchers to ensure that this reform process can continue,' they said.

Judicial reforms must not end just because new Chief Justice named, PKR MPs led by Rafizi tells govt
KUALA LUMPUR, July 18 — Several PKR MPs have reminded the government today that the need to strengthen the judicial appointment process continues, despite the finalised top judicial appointments yesterday. In a statement, they said the recent leadership crisis in the judiciary must not recur, and called for the immediate appointment of judges to fill 31 vacancies to avoid disruptions in judicial administration. 'The recent leadership crisis in the judiciary highlights the need for reforms to strengthen the judicial appointment process, to prevent similar issues from recurring. 'We urge the administration of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim not to consider this matter fully resolved until improvements to the judicial appointment process are presented to the public and implemented.' said the nine MPs led by former PKR deputy president Datuk Rafizi Ramli. They noted that reactions to Datuk Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh's appointment as the Chief Justice has been mixed, pointing to his background as a former Umno leader and the perception that he is a more junior judge. However, they hoped that Wan Ahmad Farid will accept criticisms to guide and motivate him to defend the independence of the judiciary, to follow in the footsteps of his predecessor, Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat. They stressed that appointments must be based on merit and seniority, in line with the Federal Constitution and the Judicial Appointments Committee (JAC) Act — warning against any interference aimed at orchestrating or influencing judicial appointments. The group also urged follow-up action on unresolved issues raised in Judicial Appointments Commission meetings, including allegations of attempts to influence court decisions. Proposals raised included limiting the Prime Minister's rejection powers, automatic JAC appointments from legal fraternities, and involving Parliament in confirming nominations. Besides Pandan MP Rafizi, the statement was jointly signed by Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad (Setiawangsa), Wong Chen (Subang), Rodziah Ismail (Ampang), Zahir Hassan (Wangsa Maju), Bakhtiar Wan Chik (Balik Pulau), Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh (Ledang), S. Kesavan (Sungai Siput), and Onn Abu Bakar (Batu Pahat). Court of Appeal Judge Wan Ahmad Farid will be sworn in as the country's 17th Chief Justice on July 28, succeeding Tengku Maimun, who retired on July 2. Datuk Abu Bakar Jais has been appointed as the new president of the Court of Appeal, while Datuk Azizah Nawawi has been appointed Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak.
