Fuziah: No suspension for PKR MPs who called for RCI into judicial appointments
SEREMBAN: No disciplinary action will be taken against the nine PKR members of Parliament who criticised judicial appointments and called for a Royal Commission of Inquiry, PKR secretary-general Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh said.
According to Fuziah, party president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim told Negri Sembilan PKR grassroots today that there's no issue of suspension, as the MPs were merely voicing concerns related to the people.
"He clarified that these MPs have a right to raise such matters. While criticism should ideally be discussed internally first, it is not grounds for suspension," she said after the event here.
Fuziah was speaking after Anwar spent nearly an hour behind closed doors with Negri Sembilan PKR division heads during his Presidential Tour and Party Organisation Strengthening Seminar held at a hotel here.
The meeting, attended by some 1,000 party members, also included PKR vice-presidents Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun, Chang Lih Kang and Datuk Seri R. Ramanan, as well as Fuziah, women's wing chief Fadhlina Sidek and youth wing chief Muhammad Kamil Munim.
Fuziah said the tour is part of a nationwide effort to rebuild unity among grassroots leaders, including those who lost in the party's recent internal polls.
"We're not fighting enemies, just having differences among siblings. Unity is key if we want to move forward," she said.
Calls had previously emerged from within PKR for action to be taken against Pandan MP Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli and eight other MPs over their criticism of appointments in the judiciary.
