THE PKR youth congress, which is taking place today, is illegal after the improper appointment of a permanent chairman and his deputy, said sacked permanent chair Mizan Adli Mohd Noor.

Mizan and his sacked deputy Mohd Ramly Ahmad were earlier barred from entering the venue of the meeting, leading to a fight.

Mizan and Ramly were sacked for being “over the age limit” in the run up to the congress.

“Ramly and I wanted to enter the hall along with some other delegates. This is wrong.  

“And the congress started with them electing a new chairman but this in unlawful. By right, the meeting must start with the previous chairman and then the appointment of the new chairman must follow,” Mizan told reporters.

He also slammed PKR youth chief Akmal Nasir for ignoring the “peace deal” between party president Anwar Ibrahim and his deputy, Mohamed Azmin Ali, which included allowing Mizan’s participation in the congress.

“Akmal disregarded the advice given by Anwar. By right, I should have been allowed into the congress, and then if they want to replace the chairman, they can.

“But I was pulled aside, assaulted and chased away (denied entry). Akmal is using gangsterism culture.”

Mizan said he would be lodging a police report on the ruckus today. – December 6, 2019.
