PORT DICKSON: PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has advised deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali to use the proper channels and not the media when raising issues related to party matters.
He was responding to Mohamed Azmin’s statement for a review of the new appointments to the party central leadership.
On Friday, Anwar announced the reappointment of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail as party secretary-general and the appointment of Segamat MP Datuk Seri Dr Edmund R. Santhara Kumar as the deputy secretary-general.
He also announced the appointment of former Pandan MP Rafizi Ramli, Tanjung Malim MP Chang Lih Kang and Saratok MP Ali Biju as vice-presidents.
Yesterday, Anwar advised Mohamed Azmin, who is Economic Affairs Minister, to set a good example to other party members by not using the media to raise party issues.
“It’s his personal view, I wanted it to be inclusive. He wanted some people out, I want everybody in. That’s the difference.
“You cannot deny the need to bring everybody in. I’ve taken people in his (Azmin’s) faction and in Rafizi’s faction,” he told reporters after launching the Anwar Ibrahim Trophy Beach Soccer Tournament here. – Bernama
