Kapar MP Abdullah Sani Abdul Hamid says the deputy PKR president and the Wanita chief should offer to resign their seats to make way for the party president elect, so as to settle any question of their loyalty once and for all. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, September 2, 2018.

PKR deputy president Azmin Ali should prove his loyalty giving up his parliamentary seat to Anwar Ibrahim, said Kapar MP Abdullah Sani Abdul Hamid.

Sani, in an interview with Malay Mail Online, threw the same challenge at Azmin loyalist Zuraida Kamaruddin.

Sani said the two of them could end all questions over their loyalty to the president elect once and for all if they would resign their seats to make way for Anwar.

“I challenge Azmin and Zuraida to offer to resign as MPs; show once and for all your loyalty to Anwar,” Sani was quoted as saying.

Economic Affairs Minister Azmin is the Gombak MP and Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida is the Ampang MP.

“Both seats are strong, safe seats,” Sani said.

Yesterday, Anwar told delegates at the Congress on the Future of Bumiputeras and the Nation that he would return very soon to parliament via a by-election.

Several lawmakers in the party, including Sani, Selayang MP William Leong, and Sungai Petani MP Johari Abdul have offered to resign to enable Anwar to return to the Dewan Rakyat by way of a win in a by-election.

Anwar recently won the president’s post uncontested and is set to take over from his wife Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

Meanwhile, Azmin will be defending his PKR deputy presidency in the upcoming party polls while Zuraida, the incumbent Wanita chief, is going for a vice-president’s post. 

Rafizi Ramli is challenging Azmin for the deputy president’s post, and his campaign is based on the premise that only his election to party No. 2 would ensure Anwar was appointed as the eighth prime minister.

Rafizi’s supporters, including Sani, have slammed Azmin for deviating from the Reformasi agenda, and harbouring ambitions to become the prime minister.

Speaking at the Bumiputera congress yesterday, Azmin has reiterated that his loyalty to Anwar was beyond question. –  September 2, 2018.edns

  • I have never encountered stupidity at its best and now it is from Sani of PKR trying to outmatch Umno in their height of non intelligence. You asked others to show their loyalty in giving up their parliament seats but you kept silence about yours except in the guise thru all your fiery speeches . Offer yours to show your utmost undisputed loyalty without projecting it to others to do so. You are a fake and a b@#$s and c$%k sucker. Azmin may not be liked by many but you made him looks good and with that he capitalise and sure do show his poise on being a matured politician. He was not riled by your senseless attack and all your ridiculous accusations followed by an idiotic apologies only make Azmin looks like a saint. From which rubbish dump did Anwar and Rafizi took you from.???

  • sad
    washing dirty linen in public
    offering seats as a sign of loyalty ?!
    what if the tables are turned and asked - how about you offering your seat ?!
    amazing
    confrontational politics not healthy
    there is a democratic platform and may the best candidate win
    truly sad
    i hope the voters vote in mca/pas on 8/9 to indicate that the rakyat is all powerful indeed
    a jolt is needed
    some oppostion will do the entire cause good
