Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Johor has firmly stated that it does not engage in politics based on the numbers touted by disgruntled former leaders and a segment of members who claim thousands will leave the party. Datuk Seri Dr. Zaliha Mustafa, the Chairman of PKR Johor, stressed that any decision to leave the party should not be accompanied by baseless accusations, misleading narratives, or emotionally driven statements lacking factual basis.
PKR does not play politics with numbers touted to create perception, but rather adheres to facts, field work, and true grassroots strength.
Zaliha criticized the claims of mass defections, calling them mere political propaganda. She argued it is unfair to portray the entire party as fragile simply because a few individuals choose a different path. "PKR does not play politics with numbers touted to create perception, but rather adheres to facts, field work, and true grassroots strength," she stated.
She acknowledged that disappointment or differences in principles are normal in politics. However, she believes the public is mature enough to discern whether decisions are based on genuine principles or personal frustration following party democratic processes. PKR Johor affirmed it will not be sidetracked by politics of revenge or unproductive debates.
Our focus remains clear: strengthening the organization, closing ranks, and ensuring the party is fully prepared to face future political challenges.
"Our focus remains clear: strengthening the organization, closing ranks, and ensuring the party is fully prepared to face future political challenges," Zaliha added. She emphasized that the party's strength lies in its principles, not in individual personalities, and that PKR has overcome greater challenges in the past and will continue to stand firm.
This struggle was never built on the strength of certain individuals, let alone depending on those who come and go with the political seasons.
