Penang PKR Slams Karpal Singh Over Remarks About Anwar

PENANG, Feb 8 (Bernama) -- The Penang Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) liaison committee today took to task DAP chairman Karpal Singh for hitting out at Pakatan Rakyat (PR)leader and PKR advisor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Its chairman Datuk Zahrain Mohamed Hashim reminded Karpal Singh that if not for Anwar, the opposition Pakatan Rakyat (PR) coalition would not exist today.

"The remarks by Karpal Singh about Anwar are baseless," he told Bernama when contacted here.

Earlier today, Karpal Singh at a press conference had remarked that Anwar "was not fit" to lead the PR and that he had been "nothing but trouble" for the opposition alliance.

His remarks came in the wake of the PR losing the Perak government to the Barisan Nasional (BN) on Friday, which Karpal blamed on the immorality of Anwar in trying to seek defectors from the BN to shore up the PR.
