PKR Not Capable Of Uniting Its Members: Mustapa

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 25 (Bernama) -- The act of the Lunas state assemblyman Mohd Radzhi Salleh of quitting Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) and becoming a independent showed that the party was not capable of uniting its members.

Umno supreme council member Datuk Mustapa Mohamed said the crisis of confidence in PKR's leadership started in Kedah and snaked through Penang now returned to Kedah.

Mustapa, who is also Minister of International Trade and Industry said the party also was the party of choice of Malays and Malaysians were frustrated with the party's promises.

"We struggle for one Malaysia where the people are put first but PKR struggles for one person only," he said after a gathering to distribute 'bubur lambuk' to staff of his ministry here on Tuesday.

Before this the state assemblymen for Buki Selambau, Kedah, V. Arumugam, and Penanti, Penang, Mohammad Fairus Khairuddin both of PKR had quit their seats and caused by-elections in the two areas in April and May.

At the same ceremony, Mustapa's deputy Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir said the action of the PKR state assemblymen quitting the party proved that PKR members did not have one ideology to hold fast to.

"We can see the manifestation of differences in that party leadership's line-up especially when such crisis happens," he said.
