KUALA LUMPUR: While the popular perception has been that it was PAS that blocked PKR President Wan Azizah Ismail’s bid to take the Selangor Menteri Besar post, it now appears that she was played out by elements in her own party.
At the height of the Selangor crisis, 30 Pakatan Rakyat assemblymen signed statutory declarations in support of Wan Azizah.
However, according to former PKR supreme councillor Badrul Hisham Shaharin, five of the 30 subsequently withdrew their support.
They signed their second SDs at the behest of Azmin Ali, he told a press conference today.
To prove his point, Badrul Hisham, also known as Chegubard, produced a photocopy of an SD allegedly signed by PKR vice-president Xavier Jayakumar, who is the assemblyman for Sri Andalas.
He said he would name the other four assemblymen after reporting the matter to the PKR leadership.
The allegation against Xavier has surfaced before, although he denied signing the second SD and claimed he had made a police report that his signature was forged. However, Badrul Hisham said he had made a search for the police report and found none.
“If the SD is genuine,” Badrul Hisham said, “then Xavier can be sacked from the party. Let’s see whether PKR adheres to the rule of law.”
Badrul Hisham’s membership in PKR has been suspended indefinitely because he criticised the party’s election process.
