KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 10 (Bernama) -- Several people have called on Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) advisor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to leave the party, emulating Datuk Zaid Ibrahim's call for Anwar and vice-president Mohamed Azmin Ali to do so.
Former PKR members Zulkifli Noordin and Datuk Seri Zahrain Mohamed Hashim have asked Anwar to quit the party, claiming that he was a liability to PKR.
Zulkifli, the independent MP for Kulim-Bandar Baharu, said "my advice to Anwar is to repent and improve himself".
"That is the best thing to do in one's twilight years," he told reporters at the Parliament lobby.
Zulkifli said PKR would not act against Zaid, who had pulled out of the race for deputy president alleged election fraud, but would create a situation where he would have no choice but to leave the party.
"That was what happened to Datuk Seri Zahrain Mohamed Hashim (IND-Bayan Baru), Tan Tee Beng (IND-Nibong Tebal) and Mohsin Fadzli Samsuri (IND-Bagan Serai)," he said.
Zulkifli advised Zaid to leave PKR and join PAS if he really wanted to bring about a reformation because he (Zulkifli) knew that Zaid could do it.
Zahrain said Anwar should leave PKR because he had failed to play the role of opposition leader as he was too busy with his personal problems.
"We are not trying to take sides, but political reality calls for a strong and healthy opposition," he said.
PKR Negeri Sembilan Chairman and Teluk Kemang MP Datuk Kamarul Baharin Abbas said he feared that Zaid's statements could undermine the party's stability.
As such, he called on the party leadership to take action against Zaid.
