Anwar not a ‘liability’, insists Saifuddin
PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail says Anwar is still the best man to lead PH into GE15.
SHAH ALAM: PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail has defended Anwar Ibrahim over criticisms from within the party that he is a “burden” and “liability”.
In a speech at the PKR Youth congress here this morning, Saifuddin lamented that Anwar has not only been attacked by political rivals but his own party colleagues.
“There are even some who say that the president is a burden or a liability to his own party,” said Saifuddin, without mentioning any names.
“I am here today to remind PKR Youth, who will one day take over the party, of the importance of tradition and discipline. Respect the party’s hierarchy. Understand how decisions are made and abide by them.”
Saifuddin said Anwar is still the best candidate to lead Pakatan Harapan into the next general election.
Anwar retained the PKR presidency for the 2022-2024 term after being the only person nominated for the top post.
He also won the president’s post uncontested in 2018 following his release from prison, when he took over the position from his wife and former deputy prime minister, Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
