    Azmin: No need for Selangor govt reshuffle to exclude PAS Free Malaysia Today May 9, 2017 By Adam Abu Bakar Selangor Menteri Besar says voters made their pick and mandate for parties currently forming the state government is for one term. SHAH ALAM: Selangor Menteri Besar Azmin Ali has dismissed a call by Amanah Youth for the state’s leadership line-up to be reshuffled after the PAS muktamar (general assembly) resolved to terminate its cooperation with PKR on April 30. The PKR deputy president today said voters in the last general election in May 2013 had chosen PAS as well as DAP and PKR to jointly form the state government. “They made the selection, not me,” he said, referring to the 15 assemblymen from PAS, 15 from DAP and 14 from PKR who won state seats. “The mandate is for one term. “When it comes to the next term, we will leave it to the voters again,” he said, adding that the government was not formed based on parties but on the majority support in the state assembly. He said this to reporters on the sidelines of an event at the Shah Alam Convention Centre here. Amanah Deputy Youth chief Shazni Munir Mohd Ithnin was quoted earlier today as saying that a reshuffle was needed to solidify the collaboration among PKR, DAP, Amanah and PPBM as components in Pakatan Harapan in Selangor. He said it would also prevent the state from falling into the hands of Barisan Nasional. Azmin said he was willing to meet PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang to resolve the differences between PKR and the Islamist party.

  • Anwar Downplays Hudud Row in Pakatan Malaysiakini.Com May 1, 2014
    Anwar downplays hudud row in Pakatan MalaysiaKini.com May 1, 2014 PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim has downplayed the latest round of wrangling between PAS and DAP over the hudud issue. He told Malaysiakini that the two parties have their differences over the issue for some time, but remain on the same page when it comes to issues of governance. “So I think let them continue having this engagement and discussion. We have had a long session yesterday (Tuesday) on this issue,” he said yesterday. He added that the discussion among the three parties in the opposition coalition was cordial despite disagreements. Anwar was responding to a question whether Pakatan Rakyat is in danger of falling apart with the latest dustup over hudud, which includes punishments such as amputations for theft and stoning for adultery. Early last month, Kelantan Menteri Besar Ahmad Yaakob said PAS is prepared to table a private member’s bill with the necessary amendments to allow the state to implement its Syariah Criminal Code II Enactment 1993. The enactment has been in place since the 1990s, but could not be implemented under existing federal laws. Since mooting the private member’s bill in Parliament, DAP leaders have vocally opposed the idea and vowed to vote against it. In the latest of these disagreements, DAP acting chairperson Tan Kok Wai warned PAS that it has no place in the Pakatan coalition if the party is adamant in pushing for the controversial law. When asked on how PKR would vote on the bill, Anwar replied, “The issue of how it will be tabled, (and) when it will be tabled, has not been resolved.

    February 11, 2016 The Honorable Mr. Barack Obama President of the United States of America The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President, As members of parliament from Southeast Asia, dedicated to the promotion and protection of human rights, we write to express our desire for you to make discussion of human rights and the democratic aspirations of the people of ASEAN a priority during the upcoming summit at the Sunnylands estate in California on 15-16 February 2016. As you are surely aware, democracy is struggling in Southeast Asia. Many countries in our region have taken dramatic steps backward in the past two years. While Southeast Asia appeared to be on the cusp of a genuine political transformation only a few years ago, more recently the region has instead witnessed military takeovers, the rollback of fundamental rights, intensifying government-sponsored discrimination against ethnic and religious minorities, and the increasing persecution of activists and opposition voices, including fellow parliamentarians. These setbacks constitute a fundamental threat to the future of the ASEAN Community and the US relationship with it. While we recognize and understand your administration’s desire to strengthen trade and security cooperation with Southeast Asian governments, we urge you to proceed with caution. Human rights, democracy, and basic dignity cannot take a backseat to economic or security prerogatives. Open dialogue on fundamental political and rights-based questions is vital to ensuring the sustainability of bilateral relationships and promoting broad-based benefits of trans-Pacific cooperation. When you sit down with ASEAN leaders in California, we urge you to press them on unfulfilled human rights commitments and to directly raise specific concerns with them.

    DAP wants Wee to apologise for 'attack' claim MalaysiaKini.com March 27, 2012 By S Pathmawathy The DAP is going after Deputy Education Minister Wee Ka Siong for an apology to the public and the Chinese community, for misleading them into believing he had been attacked at a rally in Kajang on Sunday. NONE“Wee should apologise to the rakyat for misleading us with his story,” said Tan Kok Wai (left), the Cheras MP. The Chinese community and rally organiser should also receive an apology, Tan said, because Wee had diverted the focus of the rally. Wee, who is also MCA Youth chief, had claimed that he was almost punched during the rally organised by Dong Zong to protest the shortage of teachers in Chinese schools. Wee, however, has 'forgiven' the alleged assailant and has refused to lodge a police report. This has caused a furore on the Internet, with netizens accusing Wee of imagining the incident. Selangor police chief Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah and the rally organisers have since denied that anyone had been assaulted. Tan said Wee must also apologise to Pakatan Rakyat for levelling the innuendo that the purported assailant was a member of the opposition pact. “Wee said he was attacked, when he was surrounded by police who formed a defence wall. If Wee was assaulted, the organisers would have been blamed for lax security,” said Tan. “How can he make such biased, unfounded and vicious remarks?” 'Sign of guilty conscience' DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said Wee’s hesitation in making a complaint to the police indicated that he had a “guilty conscience about the baseless allegation”.
