PKR relieving Mizan Adli Mohd Noor and Mohd Ramly Ahmad as PKR Youth permanent chairman and deputy permanent chairman respectively was made according to the power vested with the youth wing and does not affect the registration of PKR with the Registrar of Societies (RoS), according to PKR communications director Fahmi Fadzil.

“Only the registration of Keadilan (PKR) and its branches were with the RoS but not the youth or women’s wings,” he told a media conference at Keadilan headquarters in Kuala Lumpur today.

He said the removal of the two leaders from their posts was among others to improve the administration of the party.

According to the views of the leadership at the moment, it would not risk the party becoming banned, he said.

On Wednesday, Youth national secretary Ahmad Syukri Razak in a letter announced the removal of the two party members from their posts, because there were doubts on the process of their election.

Yesterday, the media reported Mizan Adli and Ramly as saying their dismissal could risk PKR getting banned and urged the leadership to investigate the matter professionally soon.

Commenting on a media statement by deputy Youth chief Muhammad Hilman Idham today in calling for the party leadership to withdraw the sacking as it violated the party constitution, Fahmi said: “I have not read the full statement and as such I cannot comment.

The 2019 PKR National Congress is scheduled from December 5 to 8 in Malacca and Hilman said it would be attended by 2,617 delegates from 221 branches nationwide.

PKR president Anwar Ibrahim is scheduled to deliver a policy speech on Saturday, December 7, while Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, who is also PKR Advisory Council chairman, will officiate the Youth National Congress on December 6, and PKR deputy president Mohamed Azmin Ali is expected to officiate the Wanita PKR National Congress on Thursday, December 5.

“This congress is historical as it will become an important platform to evaluate the performance of Keadilan elected representatives, government policies as well as to listen to the message of the Keadilan president,” he said. – Bernama, November 29, 2019.
