  • A Selangor PAS Youth leader urged PKR to address internal party issues and criticize DAP instead of interfering in Perikatan Nasional's affairs.
  • He accused PKR of being overly cautious with DAP on issues sensitive to Muslims, such as pig farming, while actively criticizing PAS.
  • The leader stated PAS does not need PKR's guidance on its relationship within PN and advised PKR to resolve its own serious internal divisions.

A leader within the Selangor PAS Youth wing has called on Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) to focus on its own internal party matters and to address its ally, DAP, rather than meddling in the affairs of Perikatan Nasional (PN).

Instead of being busy teaching PAS about etiquette and political stances, PKR should focus on real issues for the people of Selangor such as recurring floods, cost of living, job opportunities, infrastructure problems, and the implementation of the Sultan of Selangor's decree which has so far failed to be handled firmly by the state government itself.

โ€” Mohamed Sukri OmarCriticizing PKR's focus and priorities.

Mohamed Sukri Omar, the head of Selangor PAS Youth, suggested that PKR should be more courageous in admonishing DAP, particularly concerning sensitivities of the Muslim community. He specifically cited the issue of pig farming, which he noted had drawn serious attention and counsel from the Selangor Sultanate.

PKR should also be braver in admonishing their ally DAP, who openly question various matters related to Islamic interests and the sensitivities of the majority population, including the issue of pig farming in Selangor, which has drawn serious attention and advice from the palace.

โ€” Mohamed Sukri OmarHighlighting perceived hypocrisy in PKR's political criticisms.

Sukri criticized PKR for what he perceived as a double standard, accusing the party of being eager to create perceptions and sow discord within the opposition when it came to PAS and PN. He contrasted this with PKR's alleged hesitancy and silence on issues involving DAP, which he claimed openly question matters related to Islam and the sensitivities of the majority population.

But when it involves PAS and PN, they are so enthusiastic about creating perceptions and pitting the opposition leadership against each other.

โ€” Mohamed Sukri OmarAccusing PKR of selective criticism.

PKR Selangor had previously asked PAS leaders to state their position on comments made by Bersatu Secretary-General Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali regarding PAS President Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang. However, Sukri asserted that PAS does not require PKR's input to define its relationships or stance within PN. He advised PKR to resolve its own "more serious" internal crises, pointing to the departure of prominent figures and the potential formation of new parties as significant threats to PKR's strength.

In reality, they themselves are facing a very serious internal crisis. The division within the party is no longer a secret.
