By Teoh El Sen - Free Malaysia TodaySHAH ALAM: It is wrong to fund party activities with money from the Selangor state and there should not be such expectations, said PKR's Kuantan MP Fuziah Salleh.
"It is wrong for the party to be run by state money. It is wrong for anybody to expect that," she told reporters at the sidelines of the party's retreat at a hotel here.
Fuziah said the party should use its own money for administrative purposes and suggested that the media could have given the wrong impression that “we are using or going to use the money”.
She also noted that the problem could have stemmed from Khalid Ibrahim “wearing two hats” as menteri besar and Selangor PKR chief.
"So that's why people get confused, we have to differentiate between the two," she added.
Khalid was today replaced by vice-president Azmin Ali as the Selangor PKR chief amid reports of a plot to oust the menteri besar.
It is said that a group of 15MPs close to Azmin are involved, but the latter has denied any knowledge of such a plot.
Fuziah: No plot to oust Khalid
Commenting on this, Fuziah also dismissed the claim as untrue.
"It is totally baseless. Even I am confused by this episode. Why are you saying 15? We cannot even name them? I believe it is something that the media started," she said, adding that it was
perhaps a "low" media day.
Fuziah also berated party members “who go direct to the media without going to the party leadership first”.
However, she said such issues should be discussed openly in view of Pakatan Rakyat's efforts to win Putrajaya in the next election.
Meanwhile, PKR information chief Latheefa Koya said the agenda for the retreat was mainly on communications, the strengthening of the organisation as well as the formula to win the next general election.
She denied that the retreat was organised to address the Selangor crisis and Khalid's position.
