PKR has called up all of the party’s elected representatives and former party representatives to meet with its de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim.

In an invitation letter sighted by The Malaysian Insight, members were told the meeting would take place at 3.30pm in Sri Satria, Putrajaya next Wednesday (June 6).

Sri Satria is the official residence of Deputy Prime Minister Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, who is Anwar’s wife.

The letter was signed by PKR elections director Nurul Izzah Anwar, who ordered all elected reps and party machinery to attend the meeting.

“The attendance of all parliamentarians and assemblymen is compulsory,” the letter dated May 31 started.

The letter also said that the Election Commission has gazetted the results of the 14th general election on May 28.

“For your information, from the 113 Pakatan Harapan parliamentarians, PKR has the most lawmakers with 49 people or 42% of all PH parliamentarians.

“PKR also has 67 assemblymen in all states except for Kelantan and Terengganu,” the letter stated.

Even though PKR won the most seats, Bersatu’s Dr Mahathir Mohamad was named as the prime minister candidate.

PKR president Dr Wan Azizah was appointed his deputy and two other PKR leaders are in the cabinet as well.

Party vice-president Xavier Jayakumar confirmed the meeting but stressed that it was for Anwar to review the party’s direction now that it has taken federal power.

“There is nothing negative about the meeting. We have wanted to hold the meeting for some time. It is to discuss the party’s future. Anwar is going to give his views,” he told The Malaysian Insight when contacted today while playing down the meeting. – June 2, 2018.

  • PKR is a POLITICAL PARTY . The DPM OFFICAL RESIDENCY SRI SATRIA IS A GOVERNMENT BUILDING AND PROPERTY OF THE GOVERNMENT AS SUCH NO POLITICAL MEETING OF WHAT EVER NATURE SHOULD BE HELD IN GOVERNMENT BUILDING. I PRESUME ANWAR AND DPM WAN AZIZAH KNOW IT. PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW BN AND PAS TO.ATTACK PKR JUST WITHIN A MONTH OF ELECTION RESULT.

    • PKR used to accuse UMNO of abusing government's machinery. Now they are hypocritically doing the same. What's wrong holding the meeting at their HQ? Some people still have plenty of UMNO's DNA left in themselves.
